Beautiful!

Let's see what Brother Cook, cooks up this Friday. 😆

I did NOT expect a book of mormon in here 🤣. It Gideon Bible I'm used to seeing, but not a book of mormon. Ngl this is my first time seeing one in person.

The only delay will be from our perspective. Jehovah has an appointed time, a set day, it won't be late. That's the certainty that keeps us going.

I started to watch in Hawaiian Pidgin. Lol

Where do you live?

Sorry, it's 398, I was thinking about another thing.

Even if it shall delay.

That is fair. As I shared above, Jesus said it was harder for a rich man to enter the Kingdom than a poor one. Of course, that would also be true for all situations, no? Some homosexuals have an easier time to change than others. Some heterosexuals have a harder time than others.

Yes, it would be nice to meet

@Qapla thank you kindly for your offer. I am planning to go up I95 for sure, however, if possible, I might be able to take I75 back. I will DM you if so, it would be tremendous to meet up.

Yes, I still have a computer that runs a photobooth that runs on Windows 7 - I won't let it update so the already installed photobooth software won't quit working.

The only thing we need to know is that "it will be on time", Jehovah's time and that "it will not be late." To speculate as to when the end will be only leads to disappointment. Jesus said to "Keep on the Watch" and “It does not belong to you to know the times or seasons that the Father has placed in his own jurisdiction."

W.O.W. What an amazing job!!!

Honestly it can be a number of things but from my experience it's been that some feel: "no one (no other human) understands what I'm going through." To help I've taken note of those a bit distant socially at meetings and try to strike up a conversation. Some are brief while others tell me everything that is going on with them. So I would say personal interest combined with their trust in our sincerity when speaking to them helps the most.

That I can't disagree with. There is a lifestyle or thinking that needs to be rejected. I'm not going to try and compare and measure difficulties and struggles. I have seen women and men struggle with both sides of this coin. Jehovah's holy spirit is the only thing that can help all those that struggle with desires that we need to control. As far as the violence and hatred that many experience. You are definitely correct. We need to be sure we treat people with the respect and dignity that Jesus gave to all.

Harder or easier I don't know (as I have never been both), but I do know - that the Creator of the Entire Universe can help anyone overcome anything!

This should be this Friday

Not that this is a competition... (), but I still have a desktop computer with Windows 98 on it!!! I still run an old program on it that won't work on anything new. And... uh... yeah... I also have an old laptop lying around with Windows 7. (No Internet on either of them...)

True, a heterosexual person can just get married to avoid immorality, but a homosexual person will have to stay single until the paradise. I’d say it’s harder for a homosexual person in my opinion.

Because their struggle IS greater than someone who's heterosexual as illustrated by the example you highlighted in your comment. They are discriminated against consistently and hated for their identity which they are powerless to change during this system and often relentlessly bullied from a young age. They are the target of violence and hate crimes regardless of whether they engage in non-heteronormative activity or not. Our beliefs shouldn't discount a marginalized group's lived experience especially considering there are many members of this community within our ranks whether we realize it or not. There is enough lack of understanding in the world for their plight but diminishing/dismissing it serves no one but Satan and is in opposition to Jesus' direction in Luke 6:32-38: 32  “If you love those loving you, of what credit is it to you? For even the sinners love those loving them. 33  And if you do good to those doing good to you, of what credit is it to you? Even the sinners do the same. 34  Also, if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, of what credit is it to you? Even sinners lend to sinners so that they may get back as much. 35  On the contrary, continue to love your enemies and to do good and to lend without hoping for anything back; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind toward the unthankful and wicked. 36  Continue being merciful, just as your Father is merciful. 37  “Moreover, stop judging, and you will by no means be judged; and stop condemning, and you will by no means be condemned. Keep on forgiving, and you will be forgiven. 38  Practice giving, and people will give to you. They will pour into your laps a fine measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing. For with the measure that you are measuring out, they will measure out to you in return.”

I have Misophonia though I only discovered that it had a name fairly recently. I used to think it was just me being grumpy so tried hard to keep my responses to the feelings under control. My children didn't need me to tell them to stop playing basketball because the bouncing sound of the ball was driving me crazy. Though they did get gently stopped from finger tapping, leg jiggling under the table,(misokinesia - a related condition) and leaving taps dripping among other thing. Sometimes I feel giving these things names and public air time allows people to use their condition as an excuse for negative attitudes and behaviour. The onus is not only on others to exercise compassion and empathy but also on the sufferer to exercise a level of self control over their responses.
