    It's so lovely that Enjoy Life Forever covers the material of two books (Bible truths and Christian living). I'm trying to remember what was the second book before United in Worship without looking it up, but I have a lapsus :)))

    We don't talk about "door-step studies" or "5-10 minute studies" anymore. If you do a whole lesson each week, possibly skip one or two chapters...you could finish in just over a year. reminds me of the old Truth Book studies of just 6 months to finish the book...♥️

    So I bought a new laptop to replace the old one that hadn’t worked well for several years. The old laptop… Somehow, in the very beginning, I set up two different user accounts: administrator and non-administrator. I didn’t want 2, but didn’t know what to do, so just lived with it. Last week, when I finally got around to trying to set up the new laptop, it indicated that I could transfer information from my old laptop, and asked if I wanted to proceed. Of course, I told it to go ahead. Here’s the problem: it transferred only the administrator side of things, but most of my information is under the other username. I have Carbonite, so can download documents, but is it also going to download both user accounts? Should I reset the new laptop back to factory settings and start all over so I don’t have to do anything else? Do I know what I am doing? Absolutely not!

    Feels more like within the next 30 weeks, for me. A major debt crisis is spreading to the whole world and the UN debt crisis is a symptom of it. Perhaps its only hope of survival is a certain thought.

    Given where we are in the sands of time then I doubt you will find many who agree with you! Or maybe you could give your reasoning on why you think this way?

    Saturday, January 31 Reprove before all onlookers those who practice sin, as a warning to the rest.—1 Tim. 5:20. Sometimes an announcement is made in the congregation that a person has been reproved. In such a case, we can continue to associate with him, knowing that he repented and abandoned his wrong course. He is still a part of the congregation and needs the encouragement that comes from associating with fellow believers. (Heb. 10:24, 25) However, the situation is quite different with a person who has been removed from the congregation. We “stop keeping company” with that person, “not even eating with such a man.” (1 Cor. 5:11) Does that mean we would completely ignore him? Not necessarily. Certainly, we would not socialize with him. But Christians can use their Bible-trained conscience in deciding whether to invite a person who was removed from the congregation—perhaps a relative or someone they were close to previously—to attend a congregation meeting. w24.08 30 ¶13-14

    New support is urgently needed for the UN to continue. Secretary-General has sent a letter to members declaring a financial emergency. He said the ship must right itself by June or it's a race to bankruptcy, "As of early 2026, the organization is grappling with a severe liquidity crisis driven by record-high arrears from member states - notably the USA, China and Russia - and outdated financial rules". But, Guterres has been Secretary-General for 9 years, and this problem has persisted on his watch. One official said Guterras will have the legacy of the worst SG in the history of the UN. The UN was the hope of the world, but now is viewed as an irrelevant, failed idea. There are four things converging on the UN: The deeply-rooted systemic problems resulting in a financial collapse. A new Secretary-General needs to be selected, acceptable to the security council plus 4 rotating nations. Trump's new Board of Peace alternative. Rev. 17:17. Only by an act of God will the UN last long enough to carry out one final mission, destroy religion.

    Hello, I am having trouble getting the nws to display in full page. It is oversized so that view is off screen and I cannot see 1/3 of page. How do I resize page? Also, I have a double pointer that makes selections very confusing. The white one (black one doesn’t function) is bigger and runs off the screen easily. Any suggestions? Thanks

    I don’t know exactly when, but I estimate that the end of the current system will happen in about 30 years or more. Who agrees with me?

    They highlight risks of nuclear war, climate change, the misuse of biotechnology, the potential threat of artificial intelligence, and other apocalyptic dangers. Thankfully, we know we must not be afraid of all those and keep trust in Jehovah.
  23. idezotl
    Thank you for sharing this. I think it will help me. For practical application, do you think it's best to keep the group small when possible? As it would be hard to sort through dozens in a single group?

    Real love keeps showing up. It keeps giving without keeping score. It hopes all things, not because people are perfect, but because Jehovah is. —1 Corinthians 13:7

    It's important to meet the student's needs, and if possible, study one chapter at a time. The videos can be used as homework; you don't need to watch them every time you study.
  27. Dustparticle
    I like the point about forming committees around 50 years ago. Can you imagine one brother over a department? There were a lot of problems back then having one brother over the department? We can see Jehovah and Jesus took care of this. I assuming there are committees in heaven like this too.

    When I try to schedule the Local Public Talks on NWS Mobile, only elders show up, no MS. Does anyone encounter the same issue?
  29. dvdgarofalo
    Thank you. I'm hoping to only have one of us use the mobile app until it's out of beta testing. Likely me as I'm the primary user. Just less lost/dirty data that way. I hope.

      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!
