    It's not just you - I don't see what the problem is. This is general advice for when you think there is a problem.

    Yes, otherwise you will just give them an opportunity to spout their vitriol at you and denigrate the organization, the Governing Body and perhaps you too! "If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your homes or say a greeting to him. For the one who says a greeting to him is a sharer in his wicked works." --- 2John 10, 11

    I, as many here have stated, won't see the movie. The R rating makes it a no go for me. But I have read it. It is a fascinating read. This gives you a real idea of how the Greeks felt about these gods during that time period. In fact, we are reading Jeremiah and you can see how even God's people were sidetracked into worshipping what some called powerful deities. Even today, there are many who believe in superstition, astrology, saints, etc. One would think with the advance in technology and scientific discovery that these things would go away, but nope. Sadly, the devil has powerful weapons at his disposal.

    It was the 2014 International Convention held at the Olympic Athletic Center of Athens, the site of the 2004 Olympic Games. https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/greece/athens-olympic-stadium-jw-convention/

    FWIW interestingly the official convention report says the peak in-person attendance was 35,863, with another 3,093 people tied in by video in Belgium and Cyprus, for a total of 38,956.

    About 10 years ago my father-in-law had to have his right leg amputated from mid-calf as a result of diabetes. He adjusted to his new situation fairly well and, at 92, is still able to drive and live an independent life - although, due to his age and other medical issues, he does attend all the meeting on Zoom. His losing the leg and recovery was the inspiration behind this song: I have some 'unusual' allergies - among them is an allergy to Aspartame (NutraSweet). I put that together with a conversation I had with a brother about how good berry pies can be. With that, I came up with this song:

    Looks like it worked Mostly made on a Casio keyboard (including the drums), but there is also a little guitar. Originally recorded on a hard disc recorder, and later transferred to my DAW.

    I have a recording studio with Presonus DAW. If I figure out how to post a song in this thread, I may do so ... It's only in mp3 format, so no hifi quality. Wonder if this works ... Save Me.mp3

    Hi Brother @Sam67 I took a look and tested a few of the features. Very well designed and looks to be an excellent tool. I’m particularly interested in the features beyond just the convention notes, Personal study, talk preparation and so forth. I do share some of the concerns stated by others, but your Q&A seems to clear up a lot. Of course, beyond that I would say confidence in ongoing Support and regular maintenance is essential and expected. Thanks for the excellent work put into this my brother.

    So... I am reminded of the video we saw at the "Pursue Peace!" Convention in 2022. "Put away Peace Wreckers" about 2 sisters, Haley and Emily. Haley had a social media account. https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=jwlshare&wtlocale=E&lank=pub-jwbcov22_14_VIDEO Lesson: Let's not be Emily 😁 Not saying you are my brother but yeah, may want to ask yourself: Is it really necessary to broach this subject with her? Only you can say. May Jehovah guide you in the right direction. 💙

    Two women who are identified as Jehovah's Witnesses were reportedly robbed in Valle de Ángeles, Francisco Morazán, Honduras. According to the report: Two women were walking when two men on a motorcycle approached them. One of the assailants got off the motorcycle and took their belongings while the women remained still. The robbery lasted only a few seconds and was captured on video by someone inside a nearby building using a cellphone through a window. After taking their possessions, the robbers fled on the motorcycle. The article says residents of Valle de Ángeles report that robberies have become increasingly common, and they're calling for a stronger police presence and for authorities to identify those responsible. The article doesn't indicate that the sisters were physically injured, only that they were robbed. -- AI Summary

    I read Oddesey (or rather a good summary) because it was one of the set books in primary school. I don’t regret it because I understand better Greek/Roman culture. However I wouldn’t watch a movie (woke or not woke) because I don’t want to feel emotional attachment to the (godless) stories.

    1. Can you translate 2. Is this the legal definition of assault? 🧠 Key elements To count as assault, most legal systems look for: Intent – The person meant to create fear or knew it was likely Apparent ability – It seems like they could actually carry out the threat Imminence – The harm appears about to happen (not a distant threat) Reasonable fear – A normal person would feel threatened in that situation ⚖️ Important distinction Assault ≠ physical contact (necessarily) Battery = actual harmful or offensive touching

    What counts as a political action ? 

     

    There's a tree blocking my road where I walk through to go to work. If I go see the mayor or the city council and ask him to do something about it, am I breaching my neutrality ?

      Don't be silly. You're only breaching neutrality if you take action that would reasonably be interpreted as endorsing, opposing, or aligning with a particular political party, ideology, candidate, or partisan cause. The core idea is to avoid the appearance of taking sides in contested political matters.

    I dont think he was an apostate but once in the field ministry a muslim man came to us and said Rutherford is a liar don't listen to him Me and my partner looked at each other like he was crazy and continued on our way

    There are quite a few articles aimed at teenagers, but if the sister is approaching her thirties, she might not respond well to that approach; she might not feel that the tone of those articles applies to her. Perhaps portraits of remarkable women who have developed a remarkable faith in Jehovah would resonate with her more. “Imitate Their Faith” profiles some of them. Just in case: https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/awake-no4-2016-august/bible-says-about-beauty/ https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/Imitate-Their-Faith/rebekah/ https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-no3-2017-may/sarah-bible/ Some of these women faced serious problems because of their physical appearance: Tamar, David's daughter, Dinah, Sarah... food for thought!

      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 met an older sister at the regional in 2024. She was really nice. We talked the first two days together before being able to go in. I always wondered how she was doing. I found out yesterday she's friends with my bible teacher 😭🤣. Who knew at a convention that has people from three different states, i run into someone that's actually local to me. My bible teacher was gonna invite her to a game night yesterday but she was unable to go, she mentioned the sisters name and showed a picture and i nearly lost my mind (in a good way)

      I always thought that "branch representative" meant a member of the branch committee, but apparently it's not the case? So who can be a branch representative?

      Jehovah's name is explained to Moses as meaning "I shall prove to be, what I shall prove to be". This is a reference to the fact that, whatever is his will, he can make it a reality.
       
      If that is so, why did the Septuagint, which was translated by Jews who knew the language, translate it as egō eimi ho ōn? (“I am the One who is”), which seemingly refers to God's aseity rather than having to do with his purpose?
