  1. Today
  2. El Niño is at +1.73C as of Saturday, getting close to a Very Strong or Super El Niño Strength (+2.0C).
  3. I don't understand the logic. If they were tempted, wouldn't that have settled the universal issue? Wouldn't it had already proven Jehovah is right? The second Satan defied Jehovah, wouldn't Jehovah have rightly destroyed him?
  4. If he already created intelligent physical life and called it 'good' wouldn't that be his best? Why would he created a different intelligent physical life and call it 'good' also?
  5. Would Jehovah call this good? https://aliens.fandom.com/wiki/Alien_(Close_Encounters_of_the_Third_Kind)?file=Cropped_image_of_gray_aliens.png
  6. Once Jehovah created the earth and mankind and said it was "good", doesn't that mean his creation was perfect? Doesn't it mean that the earth and everything on it was his best creation? Would life on other planets also be called 'good'? Are there variations of "good"? I like to think that the physical life he created on the earth is unique and there isn't any other life. His creation was 'good' not just 'good enough'.
  7. Gas in my town has been dropping for weeks. I fill up when I reach half a tank of gas and it cost 10$ less than last time.
  8. I think we all agree that they would only announce the start of the GT if they were sure - whether in an update to Witnesses or a public announcement. That's why I think they might release a quick article after the UN gets power that details what the GT looks like from start to finish. They wouldn't say in the article that the GT had begun because we would still be waiting for the destruction of false religion. Thus, there would be no need for a retraction because they wouldn't have made the claim that it had begun. No claim = no retraction. Later on, when BtG is destroyed they can make one final announcement: THE GREAT TRIBULATION HAS BEGUN and refer people to the previous article. I hope they announce it to Witnesses first - it feels appropriate. I'm going to cry at that update. 😭
  9. I still believe in other life out there. Again, the bible only applies to humans. If there is a planet out there inhabited by intelligent life (let's just say they're called "Galaxians"). Maybe the Galaxians were loyal in their temptation, so they don't need a ransom and a bible like ours. Once you drag humans into the argument, it becomes invalid because, of course the bible is for humans. But as for other life, there is no definitive yes or no.
  10. This is an issue I have seen several people have. I would recommend you search the Microsoft Store for the "Support" link and contact the developers directly. https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfj3b4?hl=en-US&gl=US
  11. Thanks Erik Yes I think that would work, but I am reluctant to do it because I will loose all my marked publications like WT study going back years. I think I will just leave it there and ignore the KJV for now (with its more than 20,000 errors! - Benjamin Wilson diaglott - History of English Versions page 5) Perhaps the programmers might look at it and fix it. I am using the latest JW Lib. Would be OK if the latest version of JW Lib could completely delete the KJV for the catalog allow a fresh install of KJV. Thanks again KB
  12. I just filled up and it was $5.75. it was actually lower. I'm surprised and wonder.... How long will that last.
  13. @Nede89, have a look at this: jwlIntegrator.
  14. Yesterday
  15. Well, I figure that's probably long enough for it to filter through to all of Amazon's Distribution, and webcrawlers. So the new book is now available on the blog, too. Thanks to you all, the new book has made it into the Top 20 of it's category on the Amazon Store. Foreward and Prologue Chapter One: Living Arrangements Chapter Two: Breaking News Chapter Three: "It's Called Reputation." Chapter Four: Two Meetings Chapter Five: "It's Too Late." Chapter Six: "War Comes Next." Chapter Seven: What Are The Odds? Chapter Eight: Downsides to Waiting Chapter Nine: Least Likely To Be Saved Chapter Ten: Undeserved Kindness Chapter Eleven: A Victory Song Chapter Twelve: After The Fall Chapter Thirteen: Welcome To Paradise Chapter Fourteen: A Life You Can Live With. Epilogue
  16. This is very true. I recall from my background in Christendom that thr great tribulation happens after all the faithful have been raptured. However our Study of the Bible and the publications of the Slave helps us understand that the great tribulation will begin and will be well under way before the anointed remnant are taken to heaven.
  17. Monday, June 22 Look! My servants will eat, but you will go hungry.—Isa. 65:13. Isaiah’s prophecy draws a vivid contrast between what life is like for those inside the spiritual paradise and what life is like for those outside. Jehovah abundantly satisfies the spiritual needs of his worshippers. We have his holy spirit, his written Word, and ample spiritual food so that we can “eat, . . . drink, . . . [and] rejoice.” (Compare Revelation 22:17.) In sharp contrast, those who are outside the spiritual paradise “go hungry . . . , go thirsty . . . , [and] suffer shame.” Their spiritual needs are not being satisfied. (Amos 8:11) Jehovah generously supplies His people with what they need, including spiritual food. (Joel 2:21-24) He does so through the Bible and our Bible-based publications, our website, as well as our meetings, assemblies, and conventions. We can partake of spiritual provisions every day, and as a result, we feel healthier and more refreshed. w24.04 21 ¶5-6
  18. I hope not, because if something doesnt happen SOON afterwards, we would be ridiculed as fluff. Not only that, but even though it's the GT, people would translate it as we're saying that Jesus is coming back (in christendom, the great tribulation happens AFTER the rapture of ALL Christians), and will start calling us hypocrites/doomsayers for preaching the end of the world....(A good example is Rapturetok last year). I think IF they want to announce the GT is about to begin, that should be kept and sent to congregations so elders can relay the message to people in the halls.
  19. A Grand Poobah badge would be good.
  20. Too true. I have a lot of experiences in the field and witnessing incidentally. I have been loaded down with being a carer for about 20 years for two adults, so I know Jehovah knows my limitations and remembers what I was a able to do with his help. As you say we here to build each other and help the lowly ones. Jehovah loves a cheerful giver.
  21. In Atlanta, FIFA games are being played at Mercedes-Benz stadium (where the NFL Atlanta Falcons play) but it was used for an international convention in 2019.
  22. The JWST discovers a "cosmic vine" of galaxies. This megastructure — nicknamed the "Cosmic Vine" in a study published Nov. 8 to the preprint database arXiv — swoops through space in a bow shape, estimated to stretch more than 13 million light-years long and about 650,000 light-years wide. (For comparison, our Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light-years wide.) Astronomers detected the vast tendril of gas and galaxies while studying James Webb Space Telescope observations of an area called the Extended Groth Strip, located between the constellations Ursa Major and Boötes. The team was looking specifically for light from very early galaxies, focusing on a property called redshift, a measure of how light increases in wavelength as it travels vast distances through the expanding universe. All of the galaxies observed in the Cosmic Vine showed a redshift of roughly 3.44, meaning the light emitted by the objects traveled between 11 billion and 12 billion years — or for most of our 13.8 billion-year-old universe's lifetime — before reaching JWST's lens.
  23. I have a few news songs: I spend quite a bit of time on the road. In addition to my theocratic things, I also listen to audiobooks I get from our Public Library. This song is about listening to audiobooks. Audiobooks Carry Me Away We rescued four kittens and the momma cat from behind one of the Walmart's my daughter services. This is a tribute to the kittens (BTW - the kittens do look like the ones in the pictures and that is their names) Four Little Kittens Have you ever watched a TV program that relaxes you? It was found that, during Covid and the lockdown, many people did just that. One of the programs that they watched was Bob Ross's "Joy of Painting". This is about watching him. Happy Little Trees Ever done 'shift work' ? If so, did you work second shift? How did you feel when you got home? This song os for those people who have worked that shift ... Here's to All Us Second Shifters Do you text? Are you on WhatsApp? DO you use social media and watch shorts, clips and memes? This song is not about that - exactly - it is about actual letters ... written by hand on actual paper and send through snail-mail. It is told from the perspective of the letter. I AM the Letter

    • 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
