  1. Past hour
  2. Iran and Islam are inseparable. An attack on Iran is in my view an attack on Islam.
  3. Today
  4. One of my favourite resources on this subject is the SI Book. Study Number 2—Time and the Holy Scriptures Describing time divisions used in the Bible, the calendars in common use, pivotal dates for the Bible, and interesting points with regard to “the stream of time.” Study Number 3—Measuring Events in the Stream of Time The counting of time in Bible days and a discussion of the chronology of outstanding events of both the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures.
  5. Oh my goodness! I had the cutest little hamster when I was growing up, and my kids had guinea pigs. I would be horrified to feed a living creature to a python or anything else! I know that's what they eat, but I couldn't do it! Nor could I watch anyone else do it! Nothing to do with the blood issue on the thread of course, just my own reaction 🥴 Note to self - never keep a snake!
  6. ref animals again - Isaiah 11 6-8 comes to mind
  7. A friend who attended Gilead back in the early 60s quoted Br Knorr as making the same statement in one of the lectures.
  8. I'm with you. Time doesn't change just because somebody counts days differently.
  9. It happened in France too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infected_blood_scandal_in_France
  10. Maybe you can share this with your local branch office, they may be able to apply this idea to the official app! I’m sure they’d love for you to submit it!
  11. Yes, of course, the basement is not the main point. That’s actually quite obvious, because no one would think about being in a basement if they didn’t understand that our real safety depends on Jehovah’s power. For me, the example just helps remind us of the importance of developing now the qualities we will need, such as strong faith, trust in Jehovah, loyalty, obedience, courage, endurance, humility, and love. It even reminds me of that idea in Psalm 27:13: “Where would I be if I did not have faith that I would see Jehovah’s goodness in the land of the living?
  12. What's the difference between this update and what we already had?
  13. Fourth warmest during a La Niña, now imagine a year from now with a very strong El Niño. Looking like El Niño will start to emerge late April/May. February 2026 Global Temperature Update, Tied 4th Warmest February on Record +1.54°C Temperature Mean February (1880-1920)NASA Current record (2024) (+1.74C) Second (2016) (+1.67C) Third (2025) (+1.56C) Tied Fourth (2020&2026) (+1.54C) +1.49°C👆 For the Year Hottest year (2024) 1.56c Second hottest year (2025) 1.46c Third hottest year (2023) 1.45c +1.44°C➖ Last 12 Months
  14. This seems to be coming up more and more. I had never heard of it till recently but I am in a couple of groups for RB cats and it appears that some of these suffer from a problem that requires a blood transfusion and it seems that some have a rare blood type - and I'm sure it's not just RB's. Slightly OT but related - I do feel that pedigree cats (and dogs) are being born with weaker immune systems along with other issues - I won't ramble on about interbreeding or constantly expecting an animal to produce year after year!!! It seems to be less of a problem with mixed breeds or your general moggy. (I also won't get on my soapbox about sterilisation either!! 🤐) I wonder how people would react if I suggested that they use a blood alternative for their pet. (semi joke)
  15. Showing legs in my culture, Philippines, is not yet ok (for jw, but non jw is imitating the western culture) So wearing long short that is above the knee is good and shirt should be thick that wont show underneath the shirt when wet is approved by the public.
  16. This war makes me uncomfortable .. i have been buying tinned cans, I bought a bike because of fear of not having public transpo soon. Each week, I decided to buy canned food, fearing that groceries will hit over the roof. Some people believe that things will get back to normal. Its good to be positive but we dont really know what will happen next . Iran has been hitting oil reserves and I think thats so evil. They know that oil runs the economy and they drag everyone by it and I know that US is after oil. Its on Daniel 11:43 .
  17. With no cargo ships carrying essentials to the world through the Strait of Homuz, this will drive oil proces through the roof, daily necessities will not only disappear on the shelves, but the prices will hit where no human will be able to afford anything. Even those who are super rich. We don't know how far this will go, but Jehovah said it will hit like Suddenly. Am just glad the end of this rotten demonic run world will soon be over! Come Lord Jesus!!!
  18. I'm glad you like it. please just let me know if there's anything you would like changed or added or made more clear. I'm always happy to work on it to make it easier for everyone once again I would like to stress that nothing is uploaded to any sort of server or anything. everything is just down there on your browser and no files or transferred anywhere
  19. I wish the files were still available. I want the strongs version again, it's convenient alongside the interlinear
  20. We are feeding it from the monitor out. We have a Yamaha mixer with all the pesky knobs and slides. I'll check it out and look at the settings
  21. Yesterday
  22. The Insight on the Scriptures article “Calendar” explains the structure of the Hebrew calendar — including common years, leap years, and the adjustment of certain months. It does not list the possible year lengths directly, but when the rules described there are worked out, they result in six possible Hebrew calendar year lengths: 353, 354, 355, 383, 384, and 385 days. The math is simple once the rules are laid side by side. A common year has 12 months. A leap year has 13 months because an extra Adar is added. The article explains that two months can vary: Heshvan can have 29 or 30 days, and Kislev can have 29 or 30 days. So that gives three possible totals for a common year: 353, 354, or 355 days Then add the extra month in a leap year, which is 30 days: 383, 384, or 385 days So the six possible Hebrew calendar year lengths are: 353, 354, 355, 383, 384, and 385 days. But I was never good with math, so I probably misunderstood.

    • 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 sometimes mix-up my terminology so this is to help me:
       
      The Lord's supper is the ceremony in which Jesus and his apostles partook on Nisan 14.
       
      Jesus said to do this in remembrance of him, a remembrance of what he is about to do (give his life for mankind). So what we commemorate is the blood and flesh given in our behalf, and we reproduce this event by observing the sacrament of the Lord's supper.
       
      This death serves to enact a new covenant between the spirit-anointed sons and daughters of God, and the other sheep are respectful attendees and participants that honor that contract.
       
      In summary the Memorial (or 'eucharist', meaning 'thanksgiving' in biblical Greek) is our commemoration of the death of Jesus by observing the Lord's supper. The partaking (other denominations call it 'communion') of the emblems, the wine and bread, is done by spirit-anointed christians who are part of the new covenant.

      I know he is a brother because he gives the memorial talk on stream.jw.org

      Our congregation is finally moving to NW Scheduler from KHS. I'm having trouble exporting publisher reports from KHS to NW Scheduler. I get log error "cannot import record. Missing Date"
      I tried changing date format to year/month/day as it is in KHS. Same thing.
      I will have to enter data manually, but if there's anyone out there that has found a fix it would be hugely appreciated.
