  1. Past hour
  2. This quote expresses an important principle: If we keep making the same decisions, maintaining the same way of thinking, and holding on to the same habits, the results will usually not change. The Bible goes even deeper. It not only identifies the problem but also provides the solution. 1. Jehovah urges us to renew our thinking In Romans 12:2, we read: “Stop being molded by this system of things, but be transformed by making your mind over.” The Bible does not simply say, “Try harder.” It says: Change the way you think. If a person continually entertains the same negative thoughts, chooses the same harmful influences, or makes the same unwise decisions, the results will likely remain the same. But when Jehovah shapes our thinking through his Word, our life begins to change. Illustration: A ship’s captain cannot reach a different destination if he never turns the wheel. Even a small change in course can lead to a completely different destination after many miles. Likewise, small adjustments in our thinking can have a tremendous impact on our life. 2. Wisdom means learning from mistakes In Proverbs 26:11, we read: “As a dog returns to its vomit, so the stupid one repeats his foolishness.” That is a powerful statement. A wise person makes mistakes—everyone does. The difference is that he learns from them. Someone who keeps repeating the same wrong habit while hoping for a different outcome will often be disappointed. Jehovah wants us to stop and ask: What has not worked so far? What does God’s Word say about it? What change should I make? 3. Jehovah blesses meaningful change Consider Zacchaeus. When he met Jesus, he did not simply say, “I want to become a better person.” He made changes. He repaid what he had wrongfully taken and corrected his conduct. What was the result? Jesus said that salvation had come to his house. The change brought the blessing. Many people desire better relationships, greater peace, more joy, or spiritual progress. Yet all these things often begin with the question: “What change does Jehovah want me to make?” 4. The greatest solution: Ask Jehovah for help Some changes are difficult. Perhaps we have struggled for years with a particular weakness, fear, or habit. The Bible does not promise that change will be easy. But it does promise help. In Philippians 4:13, we read: “For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power.” So the solution is not: “I must change myself.” Rather: “With Jehovah’s help, I can change.” A beautiful concluding thought Perhaps we could express the famous quote from a biblical perspective like this: “Those who keep walking the same path will usually experience the same results. But those who allow Jehovah to shape them can experience results they could never achieve on their own.” This is one of the Bible’s most beautiful thoughts: Jehovah does not see us only as we are today. He also sees what we can become with his help. That is why he lovingly encourages us again and again: “Renew your mind, and your life will change.”
  3. Today
  4. My undisclosed song is 'Clandestined' A L Z M R
  5. Well he does make music.
  6. Sorry I uploaded by mistake kindly delete it 😔
  7. The new post on ig/tt is not on that other page, so they might have decided not to use it anymore for cross posting. But I’ve mirrored the new post on the telegram channel: https://t.me/jwpressroom/17 (along with all the other posts too!)
  8. Well, good news ... We never needed to be on the list that members of the military say is their religion of choice.
  9. Wait ... You are saying someone in the Trump family lied just to make money? I am shocked and appalled https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/06/04/ivanka-trump-jared-kushners-planned-albanian-resort-draws-protests/
  10. I love "Preaching to All Sorts of People." Song 57. And this one Pauline, is specifically for you. https://www.jw.org/en/library/music-songs/original-songs/We-See-You-Sister/
  11. Low expectations of this being on the update but there was a major renovation of an assembly hall near Bethel in Canada and it will be ready to be used this RC season. My other guess is about RCs in general
  12. Like Tortuga said, which one? This thread is like a mothership. It carries all 🥰
  13. “Hegseth’s Pentagon slashes the number of religious faiths it officially recognizes” https://apple.news/Adn3He9G_T8OgU07bA_r_PQ
  14. Which means the great tribulation is really great?.. all systems of satan are destroyed. First religion, then commercial system . Last is politics.
  15. Yesterday
  16. I don't use Tiktok or Instagram either, and have no intention to make an account there, so that's very ok. I'm sure the sister didn't mean you are against the Slave, just that it's good that the Slave tries different methods to reach people. Maybe this pilot program won't be successful, or maybe it will be. We'll have to wait and see.
  17. Actually, yes every year before the pandemic hit. This is my mall from the 80s and 90s. 🤣
  18. I remember a WT article that said we may have to rely on Jehovah for our very next meal in the challenging times ahead.
  19. Yes it does require to support Putin to have fuel coupons now only coupons grant fuel not money food shortages in Crimea as from today
  20. The old Westminster Mall by 405 would be a good place to keep an eye on. Maybe they are just saying they are tearing it down...
  21. What your saying is, someone like me who has downloaded videos and photos before and ran them through filters, FinalCut, or CapCut and turned them into memes? Or even any popular AI video editor and add and skew things? Then uploaded to any account? Yes, very possible. But as you know, it won’t be the official page since only Bethel has access to those accounts unless something happens like a brute force, malware or a backdoor it like Meta AI did.
  22. Two of our midweek songs this week are lively and bright. Song 76 and Song 84 (I attached the children's videos because they are happy. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/ChildrensSongs/pub-pksjj_76_VIDEO https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/ChildrensSongs/pub-pksjj_84_VIDEO
  23. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/ChildrensSongs/pub-pksjj_46_VIDEO
  24. Israeli startup unveils world’s first chocolate bars made with lab-grown cocoa butter https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/r1zgo51tzx
  25. I have been distracted by a recurring earworm. I happened to see the name of a (popular)recording artist and was reminded of an occurrence from many years ago. My mother used to come home with a bunch of people from a bar, last call, and get me up to sing acapella to her drunken friends. I had a brief song that used to work on interrupting that earworm, but am looking for a kingdom song as my previous tactic is not completely successful. Most Kingdom music is emotionally moving to me and I am looking for something that is just joyfully positive without having to overthink the message. Any suggestions?

    • 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 think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)

      There were many JW artists I followed on Instagram, they created beautiful Christian illustrations. But for some reason many deleted their accounts out of the blue, no trace left.
       
      I don't know why and it makes me very sad

      It's time for me to take a break from JWTalk for just a bit. We have our Regional Convention starting tomorrow! For those of us confined to watching the convention on a screen (rather than in person), at least they give us a choice of watching the recorded version from the US, or the live streamed version of our own convention (with the local brothers doing the parts). Because of the convention, I likely won't have time to peek in here at all.
       
      So, enjoy the weekend everyone!

      Carlos, I don’t think that is correct. I read a lengthy post on this forum from a brother who stated that he was one of the developers. It would be great if the devs would identify themselves in the forum.
