Which one is you Brother Glen @Dustparticle? 😁

How is it relevant?

In Crimea now you can only get fuel with Russian Government Coupons. Fuel shortage is becoming a problem Soon food and other items may be available only with those coupons I wonder if it requires to be affiliated with Putin Party to have them 😳

I was watching the new JWB with the Gilead, and an experience from a woman in Asia (approx 40 mins in): Notice she first used Google to eventually access our website and was learning things, before she even knew she was on JW.org ! So to those doubting this pilot program: let’s never forget how many only find our website using this “secular” web portal / search engine (Google). And let’s also remember that many people don’t even use search engines anymore, they simply receive links through various alternative “portals” like Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok, etc. certainly we wouldn’t be bothered to find out someone used Google to reach our website. Let’s not be bothered if they use social portals to reach it too. edit: almost missed another important point. Transcript: “so I joined social media groups that discussed changing religions.” She did that before using Google. Really drives the point home!

We have a 15 min local news on the week of the 29th so I guess it will be in 2 weeks

Friday, June 5 The Son of man came to seek and to save what was lost.—Luke 19:10. Jesus provided a perfect, living picture of his Father’s mercy. (John 14:9) By word and deed, he showed that his compassionate, merciful Father loves people and wants to help each of them to win the fight against sin. Jesus helped sinful people to want to change their ways and to follow him. (Luke 5:27, 28) Jesus knew what lay ahead of him. More than once, he told his followers that he would be betrayed and executed on a stake. (Matt. 17:22; 20:18, 19) He knew that his sacrifice would take away the sin of the world. Jesus also taught that after offering his life, he would “draw all sorts of men” to himself. (John 12:32) Sinful humans could please Jehovah by accepting Jesus as their Lord and by following in his steps. If they did so, they would finally be “set free from sin.” (Rom. 6:14, 18, 22;John 8:32) So Jesus willingly and courageously faced his terrible death.—John 10:17, 18. w24.085 ¶11-12

Governing Body Update #4 — What Are Your Expectations? The last Governing Body Update was released on May 1, and it looks like Update #4 could be coming soon. What are your thoughts? • Who do you think will be the presenter this time? • Do you expect any organizational announcements? • Will we get new reports about the worldwide work? • Could there be updates from the regional conventions already underway in the United States? • Might we hear more about construction projects around the world? • Do you think there will be any adjustments to congregation procedures or direction? Share your expectations in the comments! Of course, this is all just speculation until the official update is released.

When I was pioneering in Maine, a set of twin sisters was in our regular line-up. We used to meet in the KH library for lunch. One of the twins, Courtney, came in one noon and said she had bought a sandwich at the local Subway and had it split in half for her sister to pick up the second piece, but thought the Subway person was just confused. I, in my inimitable lack of wisdom, decided to call Subway and clear it up. On the phone to sandwich shop, I am describing the second person who will come in for the other sub half; "blue eyes, Hello Kitty pin on her coat...." At that time, second sister, Selena, entered shop for that important pick-up. The store clerk looked surprised when she responded, "They're Twins!" Well, yeah, I just didn't get to that.

I love the newest one, which shows JWs in various jobs including lawyer, doctor, and firefighter.

Ivanka Trump lied about the island. Inside Sazan Island: The Albanian ex-military base bought by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner with 3,500 bunkers and tunnels https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ivanka-trump-jared-kushner-albania-sazan-island-b2989426.html

AI is amazing! Chocolate in paradise!

I can do assisted pull ups on a machine. I can do a Romanian deadlift with 100 lbs. I hate lateral raises.

Forensic is a cognate of the word forum. A forum is a public meeting, physical space, or virtual platform designed for open discussion, debate, and the exchange of ideas. The term originates from the ancient Roman marketplace where public, judicial, and political business were conducted.

I'm sure we all would if we knew how LOL. 😀

zgoen Zion gave over every nuance. FLLKY

400K on Instagram and almost 67K on TikTok and a new video as well!

For many years, and currently, The Watchtower is the most widely circulated publication in the world. This pairs nicely with the Best-Selling Book of all time ~ the Bible. I think it would be fabulous if our social media accounts reached the top-tier. If the brothers add a few hundred languages, we could even reach number one!!!! Many people have 'heard' of Jehovah's Witnesses. Image if the social media crowd took a moment to look at our content!!!!

Been using Suno for a few years Switch to the paid version 9 dollars so it saves all my content as my own Lately I’ve been making songs while on an LDC project in Americana rock format And I throw in some of the tasks we were doing And the people’s names aren’t working with Then I play it for them during lunch or breakfast break Sometimes it takes a few minutes for them to realize their names are in the song Just a fun quirky thing to do

I was the same, but I went ahead and gave it up. I now realize it was unnecessary to have 2 copies of the KJV w Strong's. I console myself by getting access to our (Wescott & Hort) Greek Interlinear via the web on WOL. However, I now have the Hebrew interlinear on my Lin app as well. Bit of a bonus. This makes up for me losing my hardcopy of JP Greens interlinear.

I did not like having to give up my Kingdom Interlinear to get the King James Interlinear. So I chose the King James Inline Strongs version the Brother offered. That way I kept the Kingdom Interlinear and the Strongs numbers at the same time. I still miss the chance to add it to my new Iphone.

Sympathy is a quality we as Christians should express. Hebrew 10:34 says it’s okay to feel sympathy for Christian’s who are in prison. If we are to feel it, why we should prohibit others from feeling it? I don’t understand. Please explain.

Agreed. I assume that some people may be reluctant to visit JW.org because it is a religious site, however the social media sites make some of the information available to them and perhaps they will eventually visit JW.org for more information.

An extremely strange thing to say!! Why would we need sympathy?? Initially, I somewhat was thinking the same - "Sympathy"?? Then I looked up the word ... even though I felt pretty confident in the meaning and found this: "Agreement with or support for an opinion or position." "agreement, consonance, or accord" So, for me, yes, I agree and can understand better @Jim Jam Not too strange. Or ... is it? 😆

Do you realize it is the GB that approved this? It’s announced in the congregations. By criticizing the action, you are essentially criticizing Jehovah as he and Jesus are directing the work.
