    The closest I had to that experience was in 2006 when my wife and I were in Canada in Banff National Park. I was taking pictures of Moraine Lake. And a young man approached me and said "Wouldn't it be nice if every place was a beautiful as this?" I knew immediately he was a Brother. The quickest way I could think of to convince him I was also, was to pull out my wallet and show him my medical directive card showing NO BLOOD in big red letters. As it turned out, he was there with two sisters. They had already approached my wife. She showed them some magazines she had brought, even though we flew from Florida to Canada, and were in a rental car, so she would be prepared in the event she had an opportunity to talk to someone. It is always a "lift" to your spirits when you come across another of Jehovah's "Dear Ones." Thanks, Jim

    I think we'll be doing more than carpooling. How about house sharing. Growing up in the 70's it was all about home food preservation, prepping. This has been something I find hard not to do as I've grown older, so I have many things prepped, kind of survival gear, water purifiers and solar. (Thanks mom and dad). At least I'll have items to share with the friends. You can make your own water collection device you know, Google it, its not hard.

  14. feebee started following US Gas prices - up or down?
  15. feebee
    Prices are rising in Australia. Diesel this morning was 272.9 per litre which is equivalent to $7.33 USD per gallon. This will lead to even higher food prices.

  18. Áine started following Thursday, September 17 Just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive.​—1 Cor. 15:22.
  19. Áine
    Thursday, September 17 Just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive.—1 Cor. 15:22. In the Bible, the word “redemption” refers to the releasing, or acquittal, that results because of the payment of the ransom. The apostle Peter expressed it this way: “You know that it was not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, that you were set free [lit., “you were ransomed; you were redeemed”] from your futile way of life handed down to you by your forefathers. But it was with precious blood, like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb, that of Christ.” (1 Pet. 1:18, 19; ftn.) Because of the ransom sacrifice, we can be set free from the oppressive rule of sin and death. (Rom. 5:21) Certainly, we have good reason to feel deeply indebted to Jehovah and Jesus for the redemption that comes from the precious blood, or life, of Jesus. w25.02 5 ¶15-16
  20. Reader started following What is your first "where were you when"?
  21. Reader
    My most significant memory is age 5 when I attended the Divine Will International Assembly in 1958 in NY with my mother and grandmother.It was 8 days from 9am-9pm except for the final day. I still have my mother's program with attendance figures for each day- over 250,000 on the final Sunday. Speakers included brothers Knorr, Suiter,Franz, Schroeder, Adams, MacMillan and others from around the world. I remember eating lunch standing up at wooden tables in a tent, seeing people everywhere, riding the subway and staying in a rooming house. We were at the Yankee Stadium location. The experience will be in my memory always. My next memory of events was the assassination of JFK. I was age 10 in school. Teachers were crying and students were sent home. So it seems the older we get the more living history we become.

    Sort of the same for me. But I wasn't baptized yet. I was studying, but with a brother in a different territory. (That's a long story.) And I had never been to the local congregation for the territory I was living in, so these two Witnesses at my door didn't know me. So the brother launched into his presentation. And I just let him continue! His whole presentation! About 2 or 3 minutes! I was listening patiently, pretending to enjoy it. Actually I was enjoying it, but just to hear how he would "sell it" to me. And then, after all that time, I just said, "Very good presentation, brother! I go to another congregation in your hall!" Well, the brother was with his wife at the time, but neither one of them chided me for letting them go on. They just laughed. Actually, the brother did do a good job on presenting the Good News to me, but that's what I was listening for. Yeah, I used to do dumb things like that.

    I found the 2016 election surprising. I was thinking that it was the first US election that everyone who voted did so to keep someone else out of office! Usually, people vote someone into office, not to keep someone out! People didn't want Trump in office, so they voted for Clinton for no other reason! Everyone else didn't want Clinton in office, so they voted for Trump so she wouldn't get in. It was the weirdest thing. Me too, almost. I'm not even an American citizen! I live in Canada, so why would I care about a US election?

    We didn’t start the fire… it was always burning, since the world’s been turning. 🎵 I was born before the September 11 attacks, but I am too young to remember that event specifically. (Can you believe that nowadays, more than 100 million Americans have no memory on 9/11?) I think the earliest that I can say for certain, would be the 2016 United States presidential election. I was in university, and we were in a computer room, and everyone went crazy over the live result. And mind you, this was from the complete opposite side of the earth!

    Hi @Beggar for the Spirit, The plugin only handles citations in the "universal" format used in the indexes. Using your example, it would have to be "w26.3 5" Otherwise, it would be impossible to make it in sooo many languages. But I will think about the possiblity of handling those kinds of citations.

    One point that a speaker made at our last convention was that we should use the Bible as a mirror, not a window. By that he meant to apply it to ourselves not to point the finger at others. It is very easy to criticise elders , perhaps say “ well, he doesn’t shepherd me” . However, we must understand what they have to do and perhaps politely remind them that we are still here and request a visit when they can. Thats far more constructive.

    Gas is 5.89 a gal, the cheapest. Diesel, over $6. I think we will be forced to simplify, which has been something the society has already suggested. If we are not frivolous with our money, putting things in the right perspective, Jehovah will take care of us. He knows we need gas to get to the hall and go out in the ministry. This is an integral part of our worship. We need to take care of business, but not ourselves sick over this nonsense. Jehovah will take care of us. That’s a fact. I have a 22 Subaru Outback with less than 37,000 miles on it. My husband has been pushing for me to get another rig. I’ve hesitated because I really enjoy that Subaru. But, we make electricity, and sell it back to PG&E. So a hybrid is starting to look pretty attractive. I’m letting him handle it. He knows what I need and he knows what he wants. But I suspect we won’t be getting another vehicle with all the bells and whistles.

      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.”

      Ai has been in the news lately as an existential threat to world…as a growing menace to society.  I couldn’t help but draw a comparison to the menace to society that appeared in Noah’s day…the Nephilim/angels. The  people of Noah’s day were helpless against the power and influence of rebellious angels and the Nephilim.  We too, (if we are to believe the power and influence of Ai) maybe as helpless as those in Noah’s day.
       
      Is Ai another indication (2Tim 1-6) as to where we are in the stream of time? With all that’s going on in the world (Matt 24:7) could Ai be the “tipping point” in harmony with Gen 6:5?
       
      We know Jehovah did not let the menacing influences take over in Noah’s day. He will soon end the Satanic (Ai et.al) influences that permeate our world today and bring an end this system of things.
       
      I will continue to enhance, nurture and fortify my relationship with Jehovah, Jesus and my brothers and sisters.

      Hello again, everyone!
      Imperfection has a way of getting the best of me sometimes—I had actually forgotten that I had signed up on this site.
      A short introduction: I reside in northern New Mexico and attend the Chamisa Taos Congregation. I have been baptized since 1986.
      Expressing myself and sharing about who I am here is a bit new to me, but I’m looking forward to getting to meet new friends

      I have been going through some situations lately, and honestly, it really discouraged me. I became less active in attending meetings and doing some of the things I normally do. I was feeling very down.
       
      But something happened that really helped me regain my strength.
       
      I started seeing videos on TikTok about the recent earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters happening in different parts of Asia and other places. Seeing all those things reminded me of the words of Jesus about earthquakes, famines, pestilences, and other events that would happen during the conclusion of this system of things. He also reminded us not to panic or become frightened when we see these things happening.
       
      That really made me stop and think.
       
      I began meditating more on Jehovah's prophecies and the things we have been taught through his organization. I realized again how grateful I am to be among Jehovah's people, because we have been taught to understand what these events mean. Many people see these things happening but may not understand their significance.
       
      For me, seeing all those events was a reminder that Jehovah's promises are real and that we are living in the time the Bible warned us about.
       
      And somehow, I felt my strength coming back.
       
      My faith came back. I started attending meetings again and became more active in my worship of Jehovah. I realized that even when I feel weak or discouraged, Jehovah has not forgotten me.
       
      I am truly grateful for the love, care, and patience Jehovah has continued to show me. I am also grateful for the reminders he has placed in my heart at a time when I really needed them.
       
      I just wanted to share this because sometimes we need a little reminder to look up, strengthen our faith, and remember why we trust in Jehovah in the first place. ❤️
