  1. Past hour
  2. Landlord follow-up — a written record matters a lot here. If you have not already, ask for a written response to conversation, not just a verbal answer, in case you need it later. Documentation of the abuse — if there's any history (police reports, a past protective order, anything), now's the time to gather it. If there's no protective order and the fear is well-founded, this might be worth looking into, especially since he'll be a regular presence in the building. Elders/congregation support — since she's a sister, this could be something she'd want to loop in an elder on, both for practical support and for spiritual encouragement through it. Sounds like you might already be one of the people she's leaning on. The pregnancy angle — worth remembering this is also just a lot for her emotionally: an estranged daughter, a strained relationship (being called "Lori" instead of "Mom" says a lot), and now proximity to an abusive ex all landing at once. She may need as much emotional support as practical help right now. Does the building have any policies in effect that may help you re first established residency and ones seeking accomodations if a history of problems exist? I asked chatgpt to see what guidelines it may have and above is what it spit out
  3. Been watching the Red Sox games. What a great season they are having. Record setting
  4. Today
  5. I will like to reinforce this approach. I'm sure that apart from the worry about your ex-husband finding you out,there is also the concern about you always encountering your daughter and her father,you probably don't like that experience, but instead of trying to avoid them completely why not try to see if you can be more peaceable and friendly with them when you encounter them. Im not sure how you feel about your estranged daughter but she is still your child even if you don't approve of her way of life,the father of the prodigal son never gave up on him,that is Jehovah's approach of things. Please make yourself available to your daughter,and let her know that she still has a place in your heart as her mother.
  6. Im getting the idea that you have probably been hiding from your ex-husband,it's really a difficult situation to be in my sister.but for how long can you really keep hiding from him.you need to have your freedom. I think the best thing would be to get a restraining order from the court,but that should only be if he tries to cause trouble for you. About your estranged daughter calling you by your name instead of Mom,I think I'm abit confused why it worries you, here in Africa we get the idea that its normal in Western culture for children to call their parents by their first name,is this practice changing?
  7. Shrewd is the one who foresees a potentially dangerous situation and conceals herself.
  8. Seven males were with Snow White in a story that would not be welcomed in today's world.
  9. Forget about watch, me and my husband are throwing a party 🥳🥳
  10. Well if he gets violent or abusive phone the police and get a restraining order. If you can move.. move .. let your congregation know you are looking for alternative housing. Also be peaceable with everyone as far as depends on you…,
  11. Sorry I haven't posted lately. My estranged daughter is pregnant and moving in the same building as me. Five apartments down. Her dad is my ex husband who was very abusive when we were married. (Non JW) My estranged daughter calls me Lori, not mom. I can't handle living by her because my abusive ex husband will be visiting here. I'm so afraid of what he will do. I emailed the landlord about the situation. We've had applications for housing in other cities since January 2025 with no openings.
  12. The Cardinals are winning. These are the end times.
  13. Is that on tonight? Guess I'll miss it..
  14. https://www.thewrap.com/industry-news/public-policy-legal/trump-bbc-defamation-lawsuit-billions-financial-records-delay/?hl=en-US
  15. Anyone watching the NFL Hall of Fame Game tonight?
  16. It was left off by design, as keeping it simple was the primary focus. Most people don't have so many credits that it's hard to keep track of, and it should be easy enough to just add that note when messaging group overseer. If enough people want it, maybe I'll consider adding it, but no plans for now.
  17. Hmmm...Thanks for the explanation. I had not heard that expression before. We call it hour credit in our area.
  18. Windows 10 is still a popular OS, prompting Microsoft to extend support through 2027.
  19. Yesterday
  20. https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/donald-trump-backtracks-10b-bbc-142000502.html Donald Trump Backtracks On $10B BBC Lawsuit To Avoid Financial Disclosure
  21. Here's a link to the drama on jw.org For anyone interested in enjoying it. https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=share&wtlocale=E&lank=pub-iath_8_AUDIO
  22. It’s one of our old audio dramas. Maybe the one about Gideon (why respect theocratic arrangements) I think
  23. Parking is where it's at because everyone's got a car and they need it parked close.
  24. I don't know if it's playing for others, I don't seem to understand how to share, please try downloading the file using the three dots on the video, that played for me. I'm sorry for the confusion

    • Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”
