    My apologies, but I’m lost on how this fits in with my question. Can you clarify for me please?

    Sometimes I feel like when I pray for a mate, it's like the nation of Israel asking for a king. They knew Jehovah was their King, but they wanted a physical representative that they could see and talk to. I know Jehovah loves me, but I want a human being to tell me so.

    A life changing tool I would like to share with you. Separating identity from injury. Here’s the basic concept: What happens if you drop a diamond in the mud? Does the mud change the diamond? No. The diamond is still a diamond. The diamond represents your identity. The mud represents your injury. The mud is real and does need to be addressed…but it is not who you are. We often confuse the two and begin to identify with the injury instead of recognizing it as something that happened to us. Jehovah never identifies us by our injury…and difficult as it may be, neither should we. Consider these examples: David was overlooked by his own family, yet Jehovah said: “I have found a man after my own heart.” Moses felt inadequate, but Jehovah said: “I will be with you.” Jeremiah felt too young, but Jehovah said: “Do not be afraid.” Jehovah saw who they were, not what their brain was telling them or what they had been wounded by. We all have wounds and if consciously or unconsciously we may say….hi my name is …. Here are my wounds what do you think of me so far .. That is not our calling card … The wounds are not you .. so we should not present them as ourselves.. In retrospect Jesus never identified with his wounds … it was something that happened to him … he was not just that guy hanging on a stake …even though the world still tries to identify him as such… he is sitting at Jehovah’s right hand.. full of power, ready to exercise his true potential

    I am just considering the thought that if this is true, they don't have much time to start their attack on religion. Which would be good news to me. And no, I am not trying to predict, just an interesting thought to me.

    This is satans world you you dont think he is trying to stop the prophecy? It just shows how close we are nothing will change except those with little faith or a wicked heart.
  15. davanz started following UNITED NATIONS COLLAPSE?
  16. davanz
    If this were to happen within the next year, how do you think it would affect world events? Especially considering that we have been taught that the UN would move against organized religion.

    @BigMAC Thank you for your answer 😁 I wanted to know a bit before testing in our KH to make life easier for brothers handling these stuff
  22. BigMAC
    There is some really nice functions that makes life easier when it comes to present stuff att KH. It gets the media automatically for each meeting, you can add media from the S-34. You can open playlists from JWL. You can easily show pdf, images and even our website and zoom in and stuff. Really handy piece of software if you ask me. It supports several languages as French and many others so. @987 Is there something specific you wonder about M³?
  23. BigMAC
    No unfortunately, I have not seen such function. It would be a great feature so feel free to send it to them as feature request.

    My dear sister, I understand the natural longing for a mate. After all, that’s why woman was created. I’ve been married twice, first marriage was miserable, due to the abuse of my then husband. My second marriage yes, we have both expressed how happy we are with each other in marriage. I love being married. Would I marry again, No, because I am more than satisfied and happy with the one I love. I ask Jehovah everyday to let me keep him. And quite frankly, I would not want to have to get to know someone all over again. That’s a lot of work. 😂 so did married life make me happier, No, but it has brought me much happiness. As far as waiting for the new system. 1 Cor 7:29-40. note that Paul says it is a matter of opinion. Also bear in mind that we will not be perfect until the end of the 1000 years in the new world. (Rev 20:5) Agape your sister

    Yes she is. I'll tell the forum when she'll have finished her Earthly journey.

    For some time we had 2 books to study (the last recent being Bible Teach Us + Remain in Gods Love) which could take 2 or more years to finish. 5 years ago we received a one stop book with 60 chapters which reduces the time from 3 years to less than 1 year and a half. Last GB update gave us updated instructions to make sure we cover the book in a year or so. * It seems that the Head of the Congregation wants to speed things up. The advancement of Kingdoms work is in my opinion the best indicator of closeness of the GT. —- * Of course in all ot the study programs the baptism could happen well before the end of the book(s).

    Is your mom still alive David?

    For the most part because it is 2 imperfect people and the air of this system of things. Then there is failure to apply Bible principles, cultural differences, family dynamics, mental health Issues and perhaps the most important issue is one or both not having a close relationship with Jehovah. Marriage is a lot of work. Even a “good” marriage requires compromise and giving 100/100 of yourself, not 50/50 as the world thinks. However, Jehovah will help you and your mate. I like to think of this scripture as to apply it in a marriage: when both partners work together Ps 1:1-3 Happy is the man who does not walk according to the advice of the wicked And does not stand on the path of sinners And does not sit in the seat of scoffers. 2 But his delight is in the law of Jehovah, And he reads His law in an undertone day and night. 3 He will be like a tree planted by streams of water, A tree that produces fruit in its season, The foliage of which does not wither. And everything he does will succeed.

      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!
