  1. Past hour
  2. Although a hookah lounge in the United States is seen as a modern social spot, similar to a café, its main focus is smoking and spending time in an environment filled with constant smoke. And that already shows why it’s not an appropriate place for us as Christians. Even those who don’t smoke end up inhaling the flavored smoke, which is harmful just the same. In addition, the atmosphere in these places — loud music, people smoking together, and an environment that encourages unhealthy habits — doesn’t match the clean and healthy life we strive for in order to honor Jehovah. If we want to maintain a pure heart and a lifestyle that strengthens our spirituality, going into a place like that would only expose us to unnecessary, uncomfortable, and even risky situations. It just doesn’t align with the principles we live by or with the kind of influence we want to have and receive.
  3. Today
  4. I think you're reasoning this way because you've never been hungry, literally. Try not eating for at least one week. And then tell me how you feel. Did Moses and Jesus undergo special training at Survival School to go without food for 40 days? Matthew 4:1
  5. Even if this is the case, does frequenting such an establishment give the impression the brother condones or abhores smoking? Is potentially stumbling someone worth eating a tasty pastry unavailable elsewhere? Is potential exposure to second-hand smoke worth the temporary enjoyment of the treat? Would the congregation view a Christian who frequents such an establishment as exemplary?
  6. Thanks Jeremy, don't worry I knew what was the answer was 😉 I just couldn't believe that Bacon, Beef jerky, Cheese, Hot dogs, Salami, Sausage are classified as highly processed, maybe in USA but not over 'ere in Blighty I eat these products many times in the week inc. steak, pork chops, chicken, minced beef, eggs for the abovementioned reasons. To each their own, we are all made differently and therefore have different dietary requirements and needs
  7. eponyms include zipper, crockpot, Lego, coke, and diesel.
  8. The word shrapnel is named for General Henry Shrapnel. Shrapnel is an eponym, like qtip and fridge.
  9. Yes, I noticed that as well. It could be that copilot's index is not up to date.
  10. Yesterday
  11. Saturday, December 20 A man’s footsteps are directed by Jehovah.—Prov. 20:24. The Scriptures contain accounts of youths who drew close to Jehovah, had his favor, and saw their life turn out well. David was one of them. At a young age, he chose God’s side and later became a loyal king. (1 Ki. 3:6; 9:4, 5; 14:8) You can be encouraged and motivated by studying about David’s life and faithful service. Or you can focus your study project on the example of Mark or of Timothy. You will see that they served Jehovah from a young age and gained a lasting record of God’s approval. How your life turns out may be determined by how you use it right now. Your trusting in Jehovah and not in your own understanding will lead to His directing your steps. You can have a happy and rewarding life. Remember, Jehovah values what you do for him. What better way could you use your life than by serving our loving heavenly Father? w23.09 13 ¶18-19
  12. Neither. If he had been anything more than a perfect, mortal human, he would not qualify as a sacrifice. It is possible for imperfect humans in excellent health to survive for a month without eating. Jesus was perfect, so he no doubt could endure that long without food.
  13. There's a topic called A random thread of absolute randomness... Your post was made for it
  14. There is “News and Current Affairs “ section for that. Hope this helps in the future.
  15. Things are very difficult in that country. Beside several epidemics, they lack basic needs and spend most of their time without electricity.
  16. Even antelope rarely linger, yawning Y A W N Q
  17. Interesting ... Thanks for the list I did notice that, for a comprehensive list and, even though it listed Folk/Country, it did not include "Living Peacefully in a Peaceless World" anywhere in the list
  18. During the 40 days in the desert, was Jesus immortal or eternal? After all, he didn't eat.
  19. zugev zookeepers usedta give early vaccine. EARLY
  20. pareidolia is looking for figures in the clouds. Hamlet: Do you see yonder cloud that’s almost in shape of a camel? Polonius: By th’ mass and ’tis: like a camel indeed. Hamlet: Methinks it is like a weasel. Polonius: It is backed like a weasel. Hamlet: Or like a whale. Polonius: Very like a whale. – From Hamlet (1603) by William Shakespeare, Act III, Scene 2
  21. I didn't know where to post this, and I didn't want to create a new thread
  22. Interesting but how does it relate to P&S, GT and rescue mission codenamed Armageddon?

    • 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.”

      Found this note I wrote myself. 
      Jehovah promises freedom to those who love him. He promises to catch our tears in his skin bottle. He has a high regard and love for us and is willing to reach out willingly to those who reach out to him. True freedom is bounded by God’s law, which allows full expression of the individual in a proper, upbuilding, and beneficial way, and which recognizes the rights of others, contributing to happiness for all. Therefore stand fast, and do not let yourselves be confined again in a yoke of slavery.

      When I remember this video "Walk by faith not by sight" it always reminds me important of marrying a spiritual brother or sister, someone that loves Jehovah wholeheartedly, who value spiritual things and he or she is always ready to make a sacrifice for Jehovah even when it's hard for them.. Someone who can Encourage you, strengthen you or give you reasons to trust Jehovah and continue obeying him when there seems to be no hope. Not who can discourage you or even make life difficult for you in terms of obeying Jehovah. Not someone who only sees value in money or material things.
      You can't be weak and still marry a weak Person but if you are spiritually strong and marry someone spiritually strong too then, it's a double blessing

      Time
       
      TIMEKEEPER
       
      Imagine a soccer game (or other sport) in which the score is tied. There are only a few seconds left and the best player has the ball. He starts running, aiming to make the goal. But all of the sudden he stops and asks: 'how much time we have left?' Wouldn't that be atrociously stupid? Time is running out, and he will miss the chance of winning the game! Something similar happens today. In this time of the end, it is not our job to ask how much time is left. (Acts 1:7) Time is running out! Jehovah is the timekeeper, he knows how much time is left. Our job is to run, run, run for our lives, scoring the winning goal by serving Jehovah wholeheartedly.

      Temptations
       
      FAST-FORWARD
       
      If you are ever tempted to scheme and commit a sin, just try to do this: fast forward your life and visualize the consequences of it. You committed the sin... now, how did it change your world? Are you happy or do you regret it? Are you close to your family and friends? Do you have true friends alongside you? Do you have a bad marriage? Are you sick with a disease you could have avoided? Are you disfellowshipped? Did Armageddon catch you out of the congregation? If you play fast forward to your life and you see where you could end if you compromise your faith, it will certainly help you to flee from sin.
