Thursday, October 1 I will keep on the lookout for Jehovah.—Mic. 7:7. We often receive theocratic direction—from our local elders, the circuit overseer, the branch office, or the Governing Body—that guides us in our worship. But what if on occasion we cannot understand the reason for the direction we receive? We may see only the negative effects that the direction could have on us. We may even begin to focus on the imperfections of the brothers who gave the direction. When we walk by faith, we trust that Jehovah is in control and that he knows our circumstances. As a result, we are quick to obey, and we do so with a positive attitude. (Heb. 13:17) We recognize that our obedience contributes to the unity of our congregation. (Eph. 4:2, 3) We trust that even though the brothers taking the lead are imperfect, Jehovah will bless our obedience. (1 Sam. 15:22) In due time, he will correct anything that truly needs to be corrected. w25.0323-24 ¶13-14

I dream that the episodes are released early rather than waiting for the conventions, even if they are still discussed one by one at the conventions.

Gas prices in Honolulu today...yikes

(Laughs evilly like a disney villain at the end of their theme song)

This is one of the few jobs in the world that have moral requirements. This gives us confidence in those taking the lead, not only that they are living according to Jehovah's standards, but that they will be removed promptly if it is discovered that they aren't.

"And there was evening and there was morning..."

Hiking. Exploring the outdoors. Even in the most mundane of places, we have found beautiful and peaceful places to explore.

Klingons use Bat'leths largely aggressive S T T O S

I'm curious, is this the song? 😅

Naomi, if you are using a computer, the easiest way is to click on the name of the member you wish to message to go to their profile, then click on the Message button: If you are on a phone or tablet, it's the same but instead of that Message button there is a blue one with an envelope:

Sis Vickie - I smile at your posing - it reminds me of a old song....The world is a ghetto!!! a 1972 song...things are. truly heating up! Striving to stay strong and continually pray for courage!!!

I love it, much possibility with film making

Antarctica now Lowest on record, it’s in full blown melt season about a month+ ahead of schedule.

7 eps to go. Will each ep be 1 day of Jesus life?

There is a 30 second 'pan' Video as well:

Just have a try. I updated it. Now it supports a health check with /health and study stats with /study.

We have some from the Cong currently filming on set. They are now filming Episode 11. It means the schedule is tracking well. What I didn't think through though, is they are now filming the final days of Jesus earthly ministry. I guess it makes sense. The book of John for example, the first half of the writings (up to chapter 11), gets us to Nisan 10. The final 10 chapters cover the last few days. I have heard a whisper that the computer (Ai) and the monster screen will play a big part of the upcoming filming. 📽️

Webb Photographs One of the Most Beautiful Gravitational Lenses By Jeremy Gray 29 Sep 2026 ESA Webb describes the newest JWST Picture of the Month as a “cosmic house of mirrors,” noting that the galaxies featured in the image are “warped and multiplied” as though they stepped into some galactic carnival. These warped galaxies, part of the galaxy cluster MACS J0454.1-0300, are extremely far from Earth. While the orange galaxies on one side of the cluster are even more distant, MACS J0454.1-0300 is five billion light-years away. The galaxies in Webb’s photo are being viewed as they were when the Universe was about eight billion years old. It’s a cosmic time machine. Webb and other space telescopes like Hubble can view the far distant Universe because of gravitational lensing. The same phenomenon that warps the galaxies in the frame is also what makes them visible at all. Gravitational lensing occurs when a celestial body, like a galaxy cluster, is so massive that it literally bends the light traveling from behind it relative to the viewer.

We're also in election talk here in Hawaii, since we have gubernatorial elections on November 3rd, though being neutral allows me to not worry about who's gonna win.

Tomorrow (Thursday, October 1) at 11:00 CEST, the Higher Regional Court of Cologne will once again hear the case to determine who is the rightful owner of the Kusserow Archive. Let’s all pray that Jehovah will give our lawyers, and everyone else involved, peace of mind. May Jehovah’s will be done in this matter.

Do you want things like<ireguardless, or maybe along those lines?....

In a Bible study last week there was a discussion of the prodigal son. So I asked about the meaning of the word prodigal. It's 'wasteful', but got me thinking about words we use but don't really think about the actual meaning.Any other examples?

I do not know where to post this question Where do we go to direct message someone? Thank you. Naomi
