  1. Past hour
  2. Second response to straps showing: Crocheting a collar could replace a jacket on hot days. Light weight thread or yarn available.
  3. Barney Fife was Andy's cousin in early episodes of Mayberry.
  4. Crashcup, (Clyde) invented a time machine that made people feel 5 minutes younger, which could easily be sold in holiday specials eleven months a year as only August has no recognized holiday.
  5. Onomatopoeia makes comic books feel alive with every “bam” and “crash.”
  6. Hi, after the update, the field service reports are not arriving; they are not syncing when the brothers report them through the app. any suggetions?
  7. Today
  8. That's a nice clarification that we might see come through in due course. It reminds me of when we were 'reclassified' as domestics. It makes me feel acknowledged as being part of the family. I find it encouraging and heart warming. ❤️
  9. Yesterday
  10. JW Web Add-on update to version 11.9 will be available soon. This update includes the following changes: UI Improvements and Fixes: Due to a recent website update, some features have been fixed: Online Citation has been fixed and now appears in the More Options dropdown menu in the action bar. In addition, the original reference and online citation can now be copied by clicking either one. This update also fixes an issue where the wrong document ID was displayed in some online citations. Paragraph Link has been fixed and can once again open a paragraph in the app or online library. Open in the App has been fixed and can once again open a publication or article in the app or online library. Continue Watching now includes the time marker in the resume dialog box so users know which part of the video they will resume from. In addition, when a timestamp is defined in the URL, the resume dialog box will no longer appear, allowing users to play the video from the selected timestamp instead. Control Panel now separates features that are not available for a specific website or device and shows a yellow N/A box to let users know they are not available, instead of showing a blank or unclickable OFF toggle. Features that are not available will no longer hide their feature information. In addition, some issues with the Control Panel have been fixed. Please note that some add-on features will soon be deprecated. More information will be provided in the near future. For detailed instructions on every add-on feature, visit jwpubs.org/addon. Website updates may occasionally affect add-on functionality. If a feature becomes unstable or incompatible, temporarily disable it in Root Control until an update resolves the issue.

  11. I went to the Oreo website and a pop-up asked "Accept All Cookies?" I said "Absolutely" I wonder when they will arrive...
  12. That was mentioned in our former belief of a "spiritual Courtyard of the Gentiles". Continuing from the transcript... 2.6. Courtyard of the Gentiles But the various chambers and courtyards do not all have a symbolic meaning. For example, in Herod’s temple, there was a courtyard of the Gentiles. In Solomon’s nor in Zerubbabel’s temples there was not such a courtyard. Anyone could enter the Court of Gentiles in Herod’s temple. The Watchtower of 2002, May 1, page 30, gives five reasons why there is not “a spiritual equivalent, or an antitype, of the Court of Gentiles that existed in Jesus’ day.” It said: “Not all features of Herod’s temple have an antitype in Jehovah’s great spiritual temple.” But as the heavenly elder said to John, the great crowd really is in the temple, not outside the temple area in a kind of spiritual Court of the Gentiles.” 2.10. Application of temple depends on context …we all are in the spiritual temple no matter what hope we entertain,
  13. How many times have I read that scripture! And missed the point. I think the clarification comes from moving away from types and antitypes. Not every detail in ancient Israel's worship has a modern counterpart. Looking forward to WT 26
  14. Baruch Community Discord Server A Discord community server has now been created for Baruch development. The goal of this community is to create a respectful and constructive place where users, beta testers, and contributors can help shape the future of Baruch together. What can you do on the server? Members can: follow development progress and devlogs participate in beta testing report bugs and suggest features discuss scheduling workflows and usability talk about privacy, GDPR, and security architecture share screenshots, ideas, and feedback join voice discussions and community meetings Why Discord? Discord makes it much easier to organize: feature discussions bug reports announcements development updates community feedback private beta channels Compared to traditional chat groups, it provides a much better long-term structure for collaboration and support. How can you join? The server currently uses a request-based access model to help maintain a respectful and focused environment. You can use this invitation link to join https://discord.gg/4qeBXV2jy
  15. Yes! And definitely a movie I know from the 80s. Add abuse of all kinds with neglect to that statement too.
  16. Wednesday, May 6 Joy arises among the angels of God over one sinner who repents.—Luke 15:10. If a sinner repents, that is a cause for great joy! (Luke 15:7) Who deserves the credit? Do the elders? Recall what the apostle Paul wrote about sinners: “Perhaps God may give them repentance.” (2 Tim. 2:25) A study note on that verse comments: “The credit for such a change in thinking and attitude goes, not to any human, but to Jehovah, who helps the wayward Christian make this vital change. Paul goes on to mention some of the beautiful results of such repentance—it leads the sinner to a more accurate knowledge of the truth, it helps him come back to his proper senses, and it enables him to escape from Satan’s snares.—2Ti 2:26.” When a wrongdoer repents, the committee will arrange for shepherding visits so that the person can continue to receive the help he needs to fight against Satan’s snares and to make straight paths for his feet.—Heb. 12:12, 13. w24.08 23 ¶14-15
  17. We have a brother in our area who is almost 93 and in Hospice. He may not last another week ... or even to the end of this week. I have known this brother for nearly 50 years. His daughters and mine are good friends. I visited with him today and he expressed his hope for the future and that we can't be mad at Jehovah because it is Satan and Adam that did this to us. His resolute faith while he is waiting on death prompted me to come up with this song: The Room is Quiet
  18. Thanks for the song. I don't know how many others may look as your site is a paid site, but you never know.
  19. Here is the second sentence in his talk. The section is titled...Are there only Anointed Christian in the spiritual temple?... "Here’s a question: True or false? Since in Bible times the temple arrangement was closely connected with the priests, today the ones in the spiritual temple are only the anointed Christians. Answer: false." A later section is entitled...Who serves in the spiritual temple?... "Next point: Do only the anointed serve in the spiritual temple? What do you think? No. The great crowd also serve in the temple. They are shown in vision at Revelation 7:15 as “rendering him [holy] service day and night [and then it says] in his temple.” So, what does that mean? They are included in this arrangement of worship. Revelation 7:15 says literally: “That is why they are before the throne of God, and they are rendering him sacred service day and night in his temple.” So the great crowd is “in [the] temple.” Then it continues: “And the One seated on the throne will spread his tent over them.” They do not need to be in heaven in order to be in his temple." We have not yet received any of the material from the 2025 Annual Meeting in print form in the Watchtower. So it can't be listed in the 'beliefs clarified' section of the Index. We have received the July 2026 Watchtower already so keep an eye peeled for August or September issues...♥️ NOTE: you can always go back over the printed transcript (or watch the video again). I have done both 3 times.
  20. Left hand is my favorite hand to use, even though it's considered to be, ludicrous.
  21. At the moment, .NET MAUI itself does not officially support Linux. However, there are some interesting developments around this. Avalonia is working on a MAUI compatibility/porting approach, which could potentially make it possible to bring MAUI-based applications to Linux in the future through that route. Since Baruch is already heavily layered (UI separated from domain and infrastructure), that kind of transition would theoretically be much easier than in a tightly coupled application. So Linux support is not something I can promise right now, but the architecture is intentionally designed in a way that keeps those future possibilities open. https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/AvaloniaMauiHybrid https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia.Controls.Maui

  23. Does the away period work for you? i am guessing it works for me too in a way but when going to congregation calendar in NWS it shows different dates for me compared to my wife. So I set myself on away from 27th june to 19th of july and i choosed that for the whole family. In the calendar now I am away 27th to 30th june. But my wife is not visible as away on those dates. From 1st to 9th of july none of us are shown on the calendar. Then Suddenly I am away from 10th to 12th july and then we both are away from 13th of july to 19th of july. Really strange. We have identical away periods. Maybe this is not a big deal, I get a warning when trying to give a me a task during our away period even when the congregation calendar is not showing me as away. But still annoying, I am often using that calendar to plan various tasks. And yes, I plan many congregation stuff still on Excel... When done then I add it to NWS.
  24. I haven't watched it yet but this reminded me of an exchange between two characters in the movie "The Breakfast Club" "Parents, huh? What do they do to you?" "They ignore me."

      My dear, dear brother. You may be physically alone. But you are not alone. Of course you have Jehovah and his invisible family, all there. Then, us in our pitiful state, are here too. Loving you, and praying for you and you dear Cate. 
      Praying for you both dear ones. 
      The best is yet to come, and, yes, just around the corner. 
      In the meantime, Jehovah will see to the two of you. This I know.
      With much love, your sister, Bea

      A very fair rule: If you allow yourself something, then allow it to others as well. If you forbid something to others, then forbid it to yourself as well.

      Are allergies on the rise (more so than just "being the season" for them)?  🤔
       
      My grandma of 81 years was complaining yesterday about having to deal with allergies, despite it never really being a thing for her before.

      Even in my own circumstances, I find myself using my albuterol inhaler and nearly having asthma attacks, despite growing out of that many years ago.  Now it's back...  😔

      My spiritual routine is… sorely lacking order…
       
      My list of personal study projects only keeps growing, and it seems I cannot finish even one. I am absolutely terrible at study. My brain just doesn’t seem to “go off,” but at the same time, nothing ever gets accomplished 😵‍💫
       
      Like now—I found a JW-friendly app (Personal Bible Trainer). I chose to read the Bible from scratch, both the Old and New Testament, and it gives a challenge, goal, or thought to focus on with the chapters (or part of a chapter) you’re reading. I also decided to highlight my Bible while I’m at it so I know for sure I read the chapters. Then I remembered I had started writing down the characters mentioned, so I don’t forget who was in the chapter, when, where, and in what order. And then there’s the daily text and weekly meeting study… it’s just all horror!
       
      Just from this, you can probably see my mind is absolute chaos 🤯 My brain feels like a bag filled with water—but full of holes.
       
      I’ve cut back on work due to my health slowly deteriorating. Now I’m only working 2 days a week instead of 4. I stopped going out in field service and have been asking others not to invite me because I keep having to cancel last minute due to my mystery illness/condition.
       
      Now I really need ideas that might help plug these holes—so I can actually retain information and build a study routine that works for me. I can’t even remember how I was able to handle so many subjects back in my school days 😮‍💨
       
      I know most brothers and sisters have families, strong spiritual routines, and goals that help them stay focused on spreading the good news of the Kingdom. Being in the truth by myself, I’m doing everything solo. And over the years—with moving to an actual home, changing congregations, and now my health failing at this age… anything I once had in mind spiritually (like learning a new language, LDC, or working on projects like Ramapo) is gone, and my zeal has almost fizzled out.
       
      I had some shepherding calls after isolating myself for so long and not attending meetings for a few months. The elders reminded me that there are people who care about me, even when life gets in the way—and that isolation won’t help. And they’re right… it doesn’t.
       
      The only thing that kept me going—then and even now—are Jesus’ words and Peter’s response after many stopped following him:
       
      “So Jesus said to the Twelve: ‘You do not want to go also, do you?’ Simon Peter answered him: ‘Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life. We have believed and have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.’” — John 6:67–69
       
      Right now, I’m just trying to focus on getting my mind back into studying properly and maybe having a good comment at the meetings again.
       
      Any advice you may have that could help—I would really appreciate it. Otherwise, please just keep me in your prayers. 🙏🏼
