  1. Past hour
  2. on the evening of March 11, 2026 my wife and I were very thankful that a tornado that had touched down not far from our residence lifted up as it was coming toward our home. We live on the SW side of Oklahoma City and all evening long those rotating clouds went across the full of Oklahoma City. Some areas were pelted with Softball size hail. We didn't get the hail, very little rain and NO TORNADO touched down . What is concerning is that Tornado season is just beginning. Oklahoma has had 22 tornadoes (touch done) this year thus far. We were praying diligently . We do know that other parts of the country did have a lot of damage and loss of life. Our prayers do go out for anyone affected by such vicious weather. Warm love to you all brothers and sisters! 💕
  3. Yesterday
  4. I’ve noticed that a handful of my hundreds of tags are duplicated. (Though I now can’t remember which ones! I assume I renamed these tags to ones that already existed.) If I had, say, 100 notes under ‘resurrection’, and another fifty under the exact same word ‘resurrection’, would they merge or something else? (Merging two copies of the same file.)
  5. no, that didn't work edit: i downloaded the video reference guide and that worked. Ty, everyone!
  6. You're probably missing "The Good News According to Jesus—Video Reference Guide" in your digital library. Go to Index, download it, and the clips should start showing up in the Research pane again.
  7. I saw an article just the other day…I will try to find it…where Einstein and Bohr (another physicist) who had seemly opposite theories had experiments that “proved” some aspect of each of their theories. So as brilliant as the human mind can be, they still may never fully discover the works of our wonderful creator!

  9. report on the carts at the olympics.....recall seeing a picture of a cart on a skates https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/italy/Thousands-Hear-Good-News-at-2026-Olympic-Winter-Games-in-Italy/
  10. My videos from the "Jesus video" show up in the right hand study notes. You do have to have the videos downloaded in your JW Library to make this work? snapshot below.
  11. Saturday, March 14 [He] gave himself for us to set us free . . . and to cleanse for himself a people who are his own special possession, zealous for fine works.—Titus 2:14. One thing that sets Jehovah’s servants apart from imitation Christians is their zeal for the ministry. What can help us to maintain or even increase our zeal for the preaching work? We can learn something about having zeal in our preaching work by considering Jesus’ example. During his ministry, he never let up in his zeal. In fact, as time went on, he increased his activity. Like the vinedresser who had spent three years trying to cultivate a fig tree that did not yield any fruit, Jesus spent about three years preaching to the Jews, most of whom did not respond favorably. However, just as the vinedresser refused to give up hope on the fig tree, Jesus did not give up on people or slow down in his ministry. (Luke 13:6-9) Learning from what he taught and imitating what he did will help us to remain zealous today. w25.03 14-15 ¶1-4
  12. check out the video report .... note how watchtower sign became welcome! https://ny1.com/nyc/brooklyn/news/2026/03/13/housing-proposed-at-iconic-brooklyn-watchtower-buildings-site
  13. Maybe it will be next Friday due to the Gilead graduation this weekend. Most definitely next Friday I would think.
  14. You won't be going through this alone. We have Jehovah, our congregation and a worldwide brotherhood.

  16. I have only One image in a playlistb because I don't really use the feature but it seems to have worked. I'm not sure though if that was there before or after the merge so please just let me know how you go
  17. JW App → Library → Videos → Dramas → The Good News According to Jesus Choose the video you want. Click the three dots above the video and select “Add to Favorites” so it will appear on the Home screen, or select “Add to Playlist” and create a name for the playlist. After that, tap Personal Study located on the button on the Home's lower part.
  18. I would love to go there. I love whale sharks and this is pretty close to me, so now I gotta convince some of my friends that we need a girl trip to Atlanta.
  19. Not sure where else to ask this: the Jesus' drama used to show up in clips in the Research pane of my JW App, but not anymore. They still show up using the website. I reset the app awhile ago and am wondering if I disabled something and how to get the clips back.
  20. For as long as I can remember, I have loved the ocean. It has more moods than most humans and although it is eons old, it can drown you with vigor. This is why I spent my recent birthday (December 21st) at the Georgia Aquarium. Admission is free on your birthday, and while I didn’t attend any shows, I did see several denizens of the deep, including the Aquarium’s most famous resident, a whale shark that has resided in Atlanta for 18 years. (Shark swimming, photo by me) (seals) Whale sharks are the largest extant fish species and, fittingly, the Georgia Aquarium is the largest of its kind in the Western Hemisphere with over 11 million gallons of fresh and salt water tanks and over 500 species of fish and aquatic mammals, including hammerhead sharks, beluga whales, and manta rays. (Japanese sea nettle) The Aquarium is located near Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, near the World of Coca-Cola. Its main purpose is to encourage marine literacy (if that’s a thing) and conservation efforts. It’s also open 365 days a year. (reef fishes near a fake shipwreck) (Whale shark in the background) The views here remind me of Captain Nemo’s words in the 1954 Disney film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: “See how peaceful it is here.” (Leopard shark) There are presentations involving sea lions (see picture above) and bottlenose dolphins in addition to a touch tank with quiet, gliding stingrays that feel like velvet when you pet them. (bottlenose dolphin) (beluga whale watching) Admission is normally $59 and parking nearby is around $20, but spending the afternoon in the company of such beautiful creatures is priceless.
  21. Regarding a ‘third temple’: ”What would they put in it?” ”What happened to the temple curtain when Jesus died?” ”What did that event reveal?” ”How could anyone prove they were a Levite (or even a Jew!) if all records were destroyed?” etc.
  22. Ah yes the replacement theology... The apostle Paul under inspiration also reasons in Romans 11... 23. And they also, if they do not remain in their lack of faith, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them back in. 24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree that is wild by nature and were grafted contrary to nature into the garden olive tree, how much more will these who are natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree! Mass conversion of Jews to Christianity? No the context of Romans 11:26 refers to spiritual Israel. I love this study note: and in this manner all Israel will be saved: That is, all spiritual Israel, “the Israel of God.” (Ga 6:16; Ro 2:29) God’s purpose is to have 144,000 spiritualIsraelites in a saved condition and ruling with His Son in heaven. That purpose will be fulfilled “in this manner,” namely, by figuratively grafting in branches from the “wild olive” to fulfill God’s purpose to have his “garden olive tree” full of productive branches. (Ro 11:17-25; Re 7:4; 14:1, 3) This involved admitting Gentile Christians to be part of spiritual Israel. Some favor rendering the Greek expression at the beginning of the verse “and then” or “and in the end,” but the rendering “and in this manner” is supported by many lexicons and other Bible translations.
  23. Does JW Library even support CarPlay? Tesla does not yet support CarPlay nor android auto, though reports suggest they will be adding CarPlay soon
  24. There's a content creator named Cecilia that I sometimes follow on Facebook. She lives in Svalbard and talks about the polar days and night (where the sun doesn't appear at all). They have warnings in the villages for polar bears, alerting everyone to shelter in place.
  25. In today's news that should in no way suggest global climate change is real or that Earth is reaching a tipping point from which we can't recover, we've now got a blizzard, polar vortex, heat dome, and atmospheric river happening simultaneously. Revelation 11:18 is more prescient than ever.

    • 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.”

      I sometimes mix-up my terminology so this is to help me:
       
      The Lord's supper is the ceremony in which Jesus and his apostles partook on Nisan 14.
       
      Jesus said to do this in remembrance of him, a remembrance of what he is about to do (give his life for mankind). So what we commemorate is the blood and flesh given in our behalf, and we reproduce this event by observing the sacrament of the Lord's supper.
       
      This death serves to enact a new covenant between the spirit-anointed sons and daughters of God, and the other sheep are respectful attendees and participants that honor that contract.
       
      In summary the Memorial (or 'eucharist', meaning 'thanksgiving' in biblical Greek) is our commemoration of the death of Jesus by observing the Lord's supper. The partaking (other denominations call it 'communion') of the emblems, the wine and bread, is done by spirit-anointed christians who are part of the new covenant.
