If it's only on Jehovah, not really. We have to be careful with the "omni/all/everything/nothing/forever" expressions, they very often allow exceptions

Gentleness doesn’t come naturally. Isaac’s moment in Gerar puts that tension in plain view. The wells were his. The provocation was deliberate. The loss was real. And still—he stepped aside. Late one evening, the house was quiet when a message arrived from a brother who believed you had handled a matter the wrong way. His memory of the conversation left out an important detail, and without it, the situation reflected poorly on you. You felt the urge to explain immediately, and your reply began forming on the screen—calm, accurate, corrective. Then you stopped. You realized that even a perfect explanation might deepen the strain rather than heal it. After a brief prayer, you deleted the response and sent a simple, peace-seeking reply instead. The misunderstanding remained, but so did a quiet confidence that Jehovah had seen the whole exchange. That kind of restraint doesn’t emerge from analysis or pattern-following. It can’t be assembled by observing outcomes or mimicking behavior. It is formed slowly—through research, prayer, and meditation—through yielding our thinking long enough for Jehovah’s to take root. So when a lesson like this settles in and refuses to stay superficial, it isn’t just understanding taking shape. It’s care being felt. And care like that always has a single source, Jehovah.

******** this is a tough one because of the apostrophe. ************* "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," I said it once to me girl, and now me girls, me wife.

TY — Beautiful. Hubble’s stunning images have been nothing short of mind-blowing from the very beginning. I recognize some of them from over the years—a few of my faves are Year 16 - Crab Nebula; Year 17 - V838 Monocerotis; Year 31 - Caldwell 69: Butterfly Nebula; and Year 34 - HP Tau, a glittering cosmic ‘geode.’ Thanks for the memories and this awesome confirmation of our creator’s boundless dynamic energy and unfathomable design. Exquisite🙏🏻

Monday, December 22 A slave of the Lord does not need to fight, but needs to be gentle toward all.—2 Tim. 2:24. The Bible contains many accounts that highlight the value of mildness. Take the example of Isaac. When he settled in the Philistine territory of Gerar, his envious neighbors stopped up wells that his father’s servants had dug. Instead of fighting for his rights, Isaac moved his household farther away and dug other wells. (Gen. 26:12-18) But the Philistines claimed that the water in this location was also theirs. Despite this, Isaac acted peacefully. (Gen. 26:19-25) What helped him to remain mild even when others seemed determined to provoke him? He surely observed the example of his parents, learning much from the peaceful ways of Abraham and “the quiet and mild spirit” of Sarah.—1 Pet. 3:4-6;Gen. 21:22-34. w23.09 15 ¶4

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! is what Mary Poppins sang followed by "even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious".

I just got back from travelling with family. I think I’d be scared to travel by myself. Not sure why, just haven’t done it I guess. Central America is beautiful.

I originally came up with this as a personal study exercise. I was doing it on my own, and then it occurred to me that it might be something we could share here and benefit from together—especially by hearing different voices and tones. The idea is simple: What might be the backstory behind some of the pictures we see in our Watchtower Study lessons? For some, reading this thread may simply be enjoyable. For others, the real value may be in writing their own backstory before reading what anyone else has written. This isn’t about comparison, creativity contests, or “better” interpretations. It’s about reflection and learning from how others think and express themselves. To keep things readable, please try to limit your contribution to no more than one page. How the Exercise Works Each week, the images come from the Watchtower Study that was considered the previous week. The article “God’s Love Is Enduring” (considered the week of December 21) included two images: – a boat anchored in stormy or rough seas – a man facing several problems, illustrated by three labeled circles Choose one image from that study and imagine a possible backstory that fits the lesson being discussed. Please work on your backstory now, but wait until the MONDAY after your Watchtower Study has been considered before posting. You may begin posting tomorrow morning, allowing time for personal and congregation reflection. The key point is to write before reading what others have shared. No advance prompting will be given for next week.

Thank you! I have friends who have moved there from my old Chinese congregation in Florida so I think that is definitely somewhere I may be going soon!

I'm open to anything as long as it wouldn't be too pricey or unsafe for me to travel there by myself! The more general the suggestion the better because I can plan from there. I don't have an exact idea yet or plans set in stone which is why I'm looking for recommendations to start with Thank you so much for your suggestions. I've had friends who have been to different parts of Europe and have heard some good things. I would love to visit the UK or Ireland and somewhere in the Mediterranean especially out the places you mentioned. I will definitely look into which could fit my budget.

Remember majority of congregations had a lot of trouble, even a guy commit incest was removed at the congregation and after return. Do you think everyone go to heaven is equal the apostles? Majority is like us. Just read the letters of apostle Paul or even the Revelation about the congregations.

Yes.

lol. Not quite. It was just an image of a man holding a flashlight in a dark forest. The image was entirely superfluous, but sign language gets away with that a lot more often.

I really enjoyed the reminders in this policy. I hope some of the AI users in JWTalk take them to heart. Personally, I have never used AI. And I hope I never will. It doesn't make sense to me to use something artificial when the real thing is right at hand!

That is an interesting point to think about, on the one side it would seem logical to me that Jehovah could still end life of immortal being because he is stronger. On the other hand I remember hearing in a talk or reading somewhere that the fact that Jehovah grants them immortality shows how much he trusts them that they will stay faithful. If he could still end the life of immortal being that may negate the main meaning of this word, right? But have to say I am not 100% sure what is the right answer to this question.

Interesting thread. I thought this tablet issue was just my tablet acting up. Very annoying- I hope it's fixed soon.

Encouraged by the way this game has caught on its just supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

I am translating it also but I did not notice any new application other than it will support CLM Explorer-files. Something that I am missing is the possibility to add songs via NWP and other minor details to the public talks. Now I need to wait until I get home and start my main computer to make small changes.

25 years from the ESA & Hubble From planets to planetary nebula, and from star formation to supernova explosions, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a wealth of astronomical objects in its 25-year career. This montage presents 25 images that sample the space telescope’s rich contribution to our understanding of the Universe around us. Follow the links below for more information and credits. At the centre of the montage is star cluster Westerlund 2, the image released on the occasion of Hubble’s 25th anniversary.

Glittering new James Webb telescope image shows an 'intricate web of chaos' Photo of the week By Jamie Carter 4 hours ago This mash-up of data from the James Webb Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory reveals two galaxies mid-collision, with their spiral arms overlapping and bending toward their neighbors' cores. Quick Facts: What it is: The spiral galaxies NGC 2207 and IC 2163 Where it is: 120 million light-years away, in the constellation Canis Major When it was shared: Dec. 1, 2025 A stark new portrait of two colliding spiral galaxies combines different kinds of light to evoke the colors, shapes and moods of autumn. The image, which shows the galaxies NGC 2207 (lower right) and IC 2163 (upper left), was created by combining infrared light captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) with X-ray light from the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The spectacular layered image of NGC 2207 and IC 2163 is one of four Chandra-based composites that were published at the same time. The other three include NGC 6334, a star-forming region known for its arcs of glowing gas and dust; supernova remnant G272.2-0.3, where hot X-ray-emitting gas fills an expanding shell; and a star system called R Aquarii, where a white dwarf star sucks material from a red giant star.
