    What a beautifully perceptive and wise understanding is shared here, David - thanks. We are so grateful that Jehovah doesn't punitively watch for our errors so as to pounce. He notices even the slightest turning towards him, and we feel his loving kindness and that peace that excels all thought.

    Thank you! I will post how how reading and studying helped me come up with my theme for the dinner party. I'll have to post under another topic so as not to take up space here. I'm so excited to share it.

    Please dont forget to share what you have learned in the Walk Courageously thread Leslie. We look forward to study that with the help of the Imitate your faith book. (Last week, a thought ran across my mind that Jonah didnt even recalled that Noah preached around 40 years and no one listened yet he only did for 40 days and everybody listened. And I said: Oh yeah, that makes sense 🙂) Enjoy your dinner party. 🌷

    A sister doing door to door started a study with my mom in 2003. We just immigrated to Canada and didn't speak much English. I didn't really understand the book but I felt the sisters' love and Jehovah's love. Later, the Bible teaches book came out and I studied that along with my book of Bible stories as a teenager 🤠 I finished studying the yellow Bible teach book, YPA books and was in the middle of God's love book when I decided to get baptized.

    I remember in the 4th grade studying out of the orange book, "From Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained" and it wasn't again until the fall of 1972 I began studying twice a week out of the "The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life". But I had already proved to myself this is "THE TRUTH" before ever finishing it. Was baptized April 1, 1973. I have watched Jehovah's organization grow just like Isaiah 60:22 says. So many dear ones have come to worship Jehovah earth wide and it is so heart warming and faith strengthening. And for some of you older ones who have been in the truth much longer it is ENCOURAGING for the rest of us to keep on ENDURING.

    85 seconds till Midnight. The closest the world has ever been to the point of no return: If scientists can see that mankind “has not made sufficient progress on the existential risks that endanger us all,” then how much more so Jehovah and his Son? “Be steadfast, immovable,” the real life is about to begin. We’re almost home. (1 Cor. 15:58)

    I think the former logo was because the app originated in Australia and so that is the continent they showed in the logo. Now that it is being used on other continents, the new logo reflects that.

    We see this comment on the forums from time to time, but it's important to remember where it comes from and what it means. It comes from Ezekiel 7:19 meaning, https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1102017166#h=25 It is not in relationships to some economic collapse, but rather the realization by ones than no amount of money can buy someone's salvation. And this happens AFTER the great tribulation has begun not before. So, money must still have value then (just not to God) for ones to even attempt to use it. We agree money is not where our focus or salvation is, but using this verse in reference to an economic collapse is not accurate.

    Friday, January 30 [Love] hopes all things, endures all things.—1 Cor. 13:7. Avoid questioning others’ motives. If others do not express appreciation for something we have done, we could ask ourselves: ‘Are they truly unappreciative, or did they simply forget to express appreciation?’ Perhaps there are other reasons why they did not respond as we may have hoped. Some may feel deep gratitude but have difficulty expressing it. They might be embarrassed to receive help, especially if in the past they were the ones helping others. Whatever the case, Christian love will move us to make allowances for our fellow believers and to keep finding joy in giving. (Eph. 4:2) Be patient. With regard to being generous, wise King Solomon wrote: “Cast your bread on the waters, for after many days you will find it again.” (Eccl. 11:1) As these words indicate, some may respond to our generosity long after the fact—“after many days.” w24.09 30 ¶18-19

    The fact that Trump says the peace council can unite with the UN for an unprecedented and lasting peace is interesting!

    Me, too. Nobody studied with me. I got baptized because we were discussing it at the meeting for field service. (When what we did was discuss the text, if i remember right) when we met for service. (My friends Mom was being studied with. My friend and I sat in, knew we needed to go to meetings. We did. At the meetings we learned about field service. We went. At that time it was the magazine work, or sermons.) We were sheep with wings, and our legs weren’t all that shored up. Took a while, and we got sturdy legs now. The wings atrophied…

      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.   🧏‍♀️
      Have a good night everyone!!  
      STAY WARM!!

      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.

      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!
