    I raised my children already and have the advantage of looking back at what i did. The ages of those children are very important in this issue because they are already making up their mind about all kinds of things and that is what all kids at that age do naturally . I have 50% success with my kids. If i could go back in time...which i cant....i would spend more time and thought and heart in talking to them about what their thoughts and doubts are...what do they love about the truth and what do they dislike....what are their questions and issues....i would talk more to them and spend no time or energy trying to force them or co erce them into it. react to what they say in a very calm loving way...they may have some valid points to consider.

    I don't have that answer but many of the major oil companies also do oil exploration, so they make more money from their crude.

    If the high prices are due to war and supply-chain issues ~ why are the oil and gas companies making huge profits?

    If I was in your situation If they were baptized the only thing I would do is remind them of their vow to Jehovah. That it's serious business. If they were not baptized only thing to do is encouragement. Encouragement and reminders. At 15 they have formed an opinion of what they want in life. As a parent just help them realize that decisions without Jehovah's backing leads to regret and disappointment. Physical and spiritual. When you try your best leave the rest to Jehovah.

    Could AI trigger a nuclear war ?
  13. Milele

    Ai has been in the news lately as an existential threat to world…as a growing menace to society.  I couldn’t help but draw a comparison to the menace to society that appeared in Noah’s day…the Nephilim/angels. The  people of Noah’s day were helpless against the power and influence of rebellious angels and the Nephilim.  We too, (if we are to believe the power and influence of Ai) maybe as helpless as those in Noah’s day.

     

    Is Ai another indication (2Tim 1-6) as to where we are in the stream of time? With all that’s going on in the world (Matt 24:7) could Ai be the “tipping point” in harmony with Gen 6:5?
     

    We know Jehovah did not let the menacing influences take over in Noah’s day. He will soon end the Satanic (Ai et.al) influences that permeate our world today and bring an end this system of things.
     

    I will continue to enhance, nurture and fortify my relationship with Jehovah, Jesus and my brothers and sisters.

    I think the underlying problem is just consuming too much media, to be honest. It just goes to show how strong the influence of media can be on us.

    Check hub.jw.org. If you can apply, the form is there even if your congregation didn’t get the letter.

    Not everyone has the circumstances to do both. Energy levels, health, family responsibilities etc may prevent them from going on the ministry at those times. or they may live in an area where there are no arrangements and it’s not safe to go out solo 🤷‍♀️

    It's easy to see how this happens. Jehovah's people are conservative people. Conservative politicians pay lip service to values that are echoed in the scriptures such as traditional family values, life begins at conception, marriage should be between one man and one woman. From there, though, the slope begins to get very steep and slippery. Certain fiscal political topics might benefit us more than others. We might find ourselves agreeing with the thinking or way still other hot button topics are presented. Before we know it we can find ourselves thinking in our heart that one man's (or group) way of rule is preferred over the other. The best thing to do is stop drinking the Kool aid. Stop feeding on political stories. Realize that there is a difference between the news (this is a thing that happened) and politics (the supposed why the thing happened). The why is not that important. Jehovah is the only one with the solution. Move away from people, even if they sound like they have a better solution.

    If we weren't informed our state is invited last week, does that mean we're not invited?

    Quite the same for me - except we were within school bus riding distance (2 hours) to our location in Milwaukee, WI, so our family of Mom and five kids aged 5 - 13 traveled back and forth for the five days with others in our congregation. It was rough.. but happy to do it. We were so excited about the Bible Story Book! I don't remember a whole lot about anything else... but I did get baptized later that year ☺️ My only experience, too..

    Does anyone know if there would be a tour to the “Jesus” village arranged for the delegates in connection with the Brisbane convention? Because Sydney is quite far away from Brisbane….

    There's a good nonfiction book called "Ex-Vangelicals" that I'd recommend reading. It's a collection of experiences from people who were raised in fundamentalist Christian churches (and homeschooled) and how they eventually realized that their religion wasn't meeting their spiritual needs.

    In the meantime China reduces oil usage while caring for over billion people. All I Can say humans aren’t designed to rule over themselves and when they try we all suffer.

      jwhess posted a post in a topic,

      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.”

      Hello again, everyone!
      Imperfection has a way of getting the best of me sometimes—I had actually forgotten that I had signed up on this site.
      A short introduction: I reside in northern New Mexico and attend the Chamisa Taos Congregation. I have been baptized since 1986.
      Expressing myself and sharing about who I am here is a bit new to me, but I’m looking forward to getting to meet new friends

      I have been going through some situations lately, and honestly, it really discouraged me. I became less active in attending meetings and doing some of the things I normally do. I was feeling very down.
       
      But something happened that really helped me regain my strength.
       
      I started seeing videos on TikTok about the recent earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters happening in different parts of Asia and other places. Seeing all those things reminded me of the words of Jesus about earthquakes, famines, pestilences, and other events that would happen during the conclusion of this system of things. He also reminded us not to panic or become frightened when we see these things happening.
       
      That really made me stop and think.
       
      I began meditating more on Jehovah's prophecies and the things we have been taught through his organization. I realized again how grateful I am to be among Jehovah's people, because we have been taught to understand what these events mean. Many people see these things happening but may not understand their significance.
       
      For me, seeing all those events was a reminder that Jehovah's promises are real and that we are living in the time the Bible warned us about.
       
      And somehow, I felt my strength coming back.
       
      My faith came back. I started attending meetings again and became more active in my worship of Jehovah. I realized that even when I feel weak or discouraged, Jehovah has not forgotten me.
       
      I am truly grateful for the love, care, and patience Jehovah has continued to show me. I am also grateful for the reminders he has placed in my heart at a time when I really needed them.
       
      I just wanted to share this because sometimes we need a little reminder to look up, strengthen our faith, and remember why we trust in Jehovah in the first place. ❤️
