Courage in Trials — a Scriptural Consideration —
dljbsp commented on dljbsp's blog entry in Scriptural Consideration
@Pikachu @Mike047 @Denton The scriptures have always been there. What changes is when we take the time to read them carefully and apply them in our life. When we meditate on Jehovah’s Word, that’s when we begin ‘putting meaning into it’ and allowing it to reach our heart — just as was done when the Law was read and explained to the people. (Nehemiah 8:8) Just to clarify, this was simply a meditation on one of the five principles Brother Flegel highlighted in the first part of the annual meeting. It wasn’t meant to introduce something new, but to reflect on how applying what Jehovah has already given us can deepen its meaning for us personally. -
After he killed his brother Abel, Cain left the area and became a wanderer. His descendants spread out themselves and found caves wherever they went. (Genesis 4:13-16) 'At this Cain said to Jehovah: “The punishment for my error is too great to bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your face; and I will become a wanderer and a fugitive on the earth, and anyone who finds me will certainly kill me.” 15 So Jehovah said to him: “For that reason, anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times.” So Jehovah set up a sign for Cain in order that no one finding him would strike him. 16 Then Cain went away from before Jehovah and took up residence in the land of Exile, to the east of Eʹden.' Eden was in the middle of this map which archaeologists have located sites of Neanderthal occupation. Seth's line seemed to have stayed in the Middle East where we believe Noah built the Ark then later landed on Ararat. Just speculation of course.

Sis who you thinking of? Because I got a couple too 🤣 -
Friday, February 6 We should no longer be children.—Eph. 4:14. A Christian who remains immature can easily be misled by “trickery” and “deceptive schemes” and be taken in by conspiracy theorists and apostates. He may be prone to being jealous, creating strife, taking offense, or yielding to temptation. (1 Cor. 3:3) The Scriptures compare the process of growing to spiritual maturity to the process of growing to adulthood. (Eph. 4:15) A child lacks insight and needs supervision. To illustrate, a mother might ask her young daughter to hold her hand while crossing the street. As the girl grows older, the mother might allow her to cross the street on her own but will still remind her to look both ways for traffic. When the child becomes an adult, she avoids such hazards on her own. Likewise, when Christians become mature, they reason on Bible principles to get Jehovah’s thinking on the matter and then follow through accordingly. w24.04 3 ¶5-6 -

Took my old ute to the mechanics to check out a knocking noise under my hood. I think he is full of hot air when he says if you rev it harder, the noise will eventually disappear. m2-res_480p.mp4

You can also click on the text below the picture and play the audio. It immediately reads out the audio description, then it reads the picture description that is below the picture.

In case this helps any iOS mobile users. 😃 It looks like it is working on iOS again too. On my iPhone, I open the publication in wol.jw.org (tap a paragraph, tap share arrow, tap open in Online Library Or go to WoL manually, meetings, this weeks wt study) Then select some text before the image and after the image. As seen below then hit copy then go to JW Library to paste it into a note or comment box for that article. Resulting pasted text in JW Library study note or text box: "faithfulness. An Israelite man reflecting as he stacks bricks in Egypt. Nearby, Egyptians use rods to beat other hardworking Israelites. Eventually" The words between "faithfulness." and "Eventually" is the picture description.

Post in 1975 End of World ?
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.”

I applied to be an Auxiliary Pioneer. I had a wonderful meeting with two of the Elders in my congregation. One of them , I'd never met before. I think that they have a better idea of who I am and what I deal with every day with my mental illnesses. Not sure if I'll be approved, but it's okay if I'm not. I've been attending field service on Zoom on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays. But will be adding Tuesdays as well. 🧏♀️· 2 replies

A little boy wants to make his father happy. He wants to buy him a gift, but he doesn’t have any money. So he turns to his father and asks him for a few coins. Now he has money, but the gift he wants to get is in a store, and the store is in town. Again, he needs the help of his father. Once in the store, he finds that the gift is way up on the shelf. The father has to lift him up. Same thing at the register. Having returned back home, the son, beaming and proud, hands the father his gift.· 0 replies
A sweet little story but strictly speaking one could argue that the father himself was the generous giver here. In the end, he had to accompany and help his son at every step of the way, and he was even the one paying for it all.
If, however, the father had done everything himself, the outcome wouldn’t have been the same. In the way that it happened, the father, in fact, made it possible for the son to be something he could not have become on his own: a gift-giver.
This story illustrates how God relates to us. God does not need man, but God allows man to share in his saving work. Man is given the grace to take part in God’s work, and this actually shows the true greatness of God. Man is not kept in a completely inactive dependency, but rather he is equipped with the power to do good.
And this is exactly the reason there is a congregation. God does not need the congregation, but he wants the congregation so that through her we can become active sharers in the divine work of salvation.
In this way, man, who through sin causes so much woe and pain in the world, is now enabled and empowered to bring healing and share in God’s redemptive work. Fallen man, in a way, is rehabilitated in the congregation. He can live as a new creation.
So God doesn’t need the congregation, but we need the congregation, and that is exactly why she was given to us as a means to salvation!
