  2. Hey sis, Are you trying to Make the Great-Tribulation Great Again (MGGA)😂? That happens when you read people's posts on this discussion board backward in time!
  3. Today
  4. The funniest joke I ever heard was on the back of a package of bacon. It said "Serving size - 2 slices" That's hilarious!! Who are they kidding???
  5. I always found the melody to be the most complicated in the entire songbook: somewhere in between dull and sublime. That's the only song in the entire songbook I could never sing because I never did grasp the melody.
  6. We have a translation 'problem'. More a question. In NWS there are different terms: Area, Territory, TerritoryArea. What is the difference? How do you use Area in relation to Territories?

  8. No, it’s a link to the telegram channel. If you have the Telegram app, it should open directly in the app. I’ve been manually mirroring each post to t.me/jwpressroom (I first tried with an underscore, but someone had already claimed that telegram username)
  9. Some links to trusted media would be appreciated, rather than screenshots from SM.
  10. These are peppy: Joy of Conventions https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/VODOriginalSongs/pub-osg_13_VIDEO We Won't Stop Now https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/VODOriginalSongs/pub-osg_66_VIDEO
  11. Our convention will be the first one there next month! We get to inaugurate the new reno! My wife and I, along with all who helped in the work, are invited to an open house to see the new facilities this afternoon. Very excited! 🥳😃
  12. Posted the wrong chart. So the average is more around +3.5C and a few of the plume models showing past +4.0C. Heres a chart made by a meteorologist that shows stripes of various strengths.
  13. They knew i was weak they knew i had issues But they carried on Without even the thought that it was them that I sought. I needed love... If not in tons But a few fragments... enough to Suffice me. But there was just heaviness.. Heaviness of despair and anxiety. I kept calling unto my Father He kept on hearing He did show my mercy and grace But it did not take away my loneliness Fortunate are those who have true friends They help meet the ends. But there are some like me who can bolden a half dead but can't fight my own battles. Should I shrink back? That's what my heart said. Should I cower ? That's what seemed right. But i decided to surprise myself I went for a ride.. Knowing that i was weak Knowing that i had issues. Though it did not make me happy But it did not make me sad either. lesson to myself.. Move forward and try anew Reminding myself that the world is busy and lost in its own issues. And when I do this The heaviness will loose its weightiness . Increasing the chances of me becoming lighter and abel to fly.
  14. My work is delayed for a week. 

    My UPS that power my entire workstation catastrophically failed, and I’ve never been scared in my life seeing it emitting lots of smoke and loud sparks. 
     

    This scares me because I was originally planning to go out of town this weekend. If I had gone, my place could have burned down. Thankfully, I decided not to leave town this weekend.

  15. My favorite song from 1984 songbook: Song 102 The Resurrection Joy (Revelation 20:13) https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1101984122#h=1:0-53:0 The melody is unforgettable 😊

  17. You have no idea, but you're an answer to my prayer. Thank you so very much Brother Hubert @Hubi For those deep thoughts. Seeing that quote yesterday, I've been trying to see how to apply it in one area I'm working on and failing repeatedly ( Being an INFJ, I'm very observant and notice things people miss, which leads to over analyzing every interaction and situations hours on end, leading to negative thoughts which if not controlled leads to negative speech as well. I know how many times I stumble my mum by pointing out things people do that the dear woman chooses to ignore or may have missed (fortunately being introverted I don't talk much with people, mostly listening and being the sweetheart they love, but if I shared those thoughts I'll end of causing division since I notice too much) And I feel guilty each time I blurt out an observation, coz what's the point, we are being encouraged to overlook offenses not flash a light on them. But since, there is always something off in this or that, while watching how people behave with others, I find myself analyzing things that aren't my business and drawing conclusions I have no right to, whether true or false.) It's been a battle. So seeing that quote, I prayed about it trying to see where to fix it in my mind to make a difference. I came here and your comments shows exactly how to apply it in a detailed manner. I'll hold on to this " “Renew your mind, and your life will change.” Renewing my thoughts. Not letting it run free. I will win this, With Jehovah's help. Thank you once again. May Jehovah bless you.
  18. It must be because there is no dedicated article. the url: t.mtrbio.com/pressroom provides simple „link in bio” feature because posts on IG/TT don’t allow for links in posts (unless they’re paid)
  19. In Poland in 1980s you could buy sugar, meat, milk and other products only if you had government coupons. In a city it worked but in smaller towns even if you had coupons there were no goods in stores. Now Poland is worlds 20th economy, the scene of the world is changing. We got used to semicomfortable conditions in Europe but basic life’s necessities are a Constant problem in a lot of places in Africa.
  20. ALZMR Again let's zero math's reasonableness. THREE
  21. This quote expresses an important principle: If we keep making the same decisions, maintaining the same way of thinking, and holding on to the same habits, the results will usually not change. The Bible goes even deeper. It not only identifies the problem but also provides the solution. 1. Jehovah urges us to renew our thinking In Romans 12:2, we read: “Stop being molded by this system of things, but be transformed by making your mind over.” The Bible does not simply say, “Try harder.” It says: Change the way you think. If a person continually entertains the same negative thoughts, chooses the same harmful influences, or makes the same unwise decisions, the results will likely remain the same. But when Jehovah shapes our thinking through his Word, our life begins to change. Illustration: A ship’s captain cannot reach a different destination if he never turns the wheel. Even a small change in course can lead to a completely different destination after many miles. Likewise, small adjustments in our thinking can have a tremendous impact on our life. 2. Wisdom means learning from mistakes In Proverbs 26:11, we read: “As a dog returns to its vomit, so the stupid one repeats his foolishness.” That is a powerful statement. A wise person makes mistakes—everyone does. The difference is that he learns from them. Someone who keeps repeating the same wrong habit while hoping for a different outcome will often be disappointed. Jehovah wants us to stop and ask: What has not worked so far? What does God’s Word say about it? What change should I make? 3. Jehovah blesses meaningful change Consider Zacchaeus. When he met Jesus, he did not simply say, “I want to become a better person.” He made changes. He repaid what he had wrongfully taken and corrected his conduct. What was the result? Jesus said that salvation had come to his house. The change brought the blessing. Many people desire better relationships, greater peace, more joy, or spiritual progress. Yet all these things often begin with the question: “What change does Jehovah want me to make?” 4. The greatest solution: Ask Jehovah for help Some changes are difficult. Perhaps we have struggled for years with a particular weakness, fear, or habit. The Bible does not promise that change will be easy. But it does promise help. In Philippians 4:13, we read: “For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power.” So the solution is not: “I must change myself.” Rather: “With Jehovah’s help, I can change.” A beautiful concluding thought Perhaps we could express the famous quote from a biblical perspective like this: “Those who keep walking the same path will usually experience the same results. But those who allow Jehovah to shape them can experience results they could never achieve on their own.” This is one of the Bible’s most beautiful thoughts: Jehovah does not see us only as we are today. He also sees what we can become with his help. That is why he lovingly encourages us again and again: “Renew your mind, and your life will change.”
  22. My undisclosed song is 'Clandestined' A L Z M R
  23. How does TG mirroring work in this case? Is t a shortlink to the IG post and content itself (showing under a different url) or is t a duplication of the content?
  24. Well he does make music.

    • 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 think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)

      There were many JW artists I followed on Instagram, they created beautiful Christian illustrations. But for some reason many deleted their accounts out of the blue, no trace left.

      Is jw_pressroom on IG legit? Friends I know are liking a post on and following it. There is nothing officially on our Press Room page nor is it in our News page or a headline about it. I’m treating as junk but does anyone have details?

      It's time for me to take a break from JWTalk for just a bit. We have our Regional Convention starting tomorrow! For those of us confined to watching the convention on a screen (rather than in person), at least they give us a choice of watching the recorded version from the US, or the live streamed version of our own convention (with the local brothers doing the parts). Because of the convention, I likely won't have time to peek in here at all.
       
      So, enjoy the weekend everyone!

      Carlos, I don’t think that is correct. I read a lengthy post on this forum from a brother who stated that he was one of the developers. It would be great if the devs would identify themselves in the forum.
