    I am aware of everything you mentioned, including the different types of “cash” purchases, since I've bought cars cash different ways. The point I was making was paying in full (Whether using actual currency, cashiers check, bank wire or personal check) is frowned upon as opposed to financing by dealerships. I wasn’t concerned with getting into the specifics of various forms of cash payments.

    Yes, it looks great. I saw it on my iPad app yesterday and took some screenshots.

    My cat died right in front of me after several violent spasms. It was very shocking and it was difficult to comprehend that she was gone. I held her and pet her until rigor mortis set in and we went to the woods and buried her next to her brother. We decided no more pets until the New System because we feel a deep responsibility for their welfare and we can't guarantee their safety or want them used as leverage against us during the GT. I know the future will have endless animal friendships that I can't even imagine and I'm content to wait.

    I know that this does not answer the question, but since you know 3 words in the scripture quote and one of them is somewhat unique, why don't you just search for the word 'indescribable'? The scripture in 2 Cor pops up right away.

    "Indescribable free gift" search options. May I put forward some suggestions. I am not sure if you want to search the 'topic' or search for exactly the same phrase or words in the NWT or other translations. The first step is to type the words in the search section at the top. (Pic-1) This gives 3 search sections: Top verses; All verses; Articles This will find the exact match (Pic-2) And also some articles (Pic-3) The quickest search for information specific to the verse, is to press on the '💎' (Gem) logo. (Pic-4) This opens the side (or secondary) pane specific to this verse. (Pic-5) There you can find articles, topics and referenced scriptures. A final option: If you are in a verse (like Pic-2), you can also press and hold on the word. This pops up a box. (Pic-6) Move to the right arrow, and it will show an option called "Topic". This too will give insight to the verse and 'Topics'. I hope this helps. (There may be others too. These are the ones I use.) And you also can go out of the app to the WOL (online library), and search online there. (Pic-8) This will also allow examination of the word search and index search as well as the scripture index. There are many powerful operators (and/or *) and search options available online. I think there is a video on these online search options. (And I think they work on the CD/DVD version as well.)

    Apparently it’s flexible for scrubbing skillets, etc. and can be dropped inside of glasses, vases, etc. to scrub them clean—made of stainless steel.

    I have noticed that too. Doing a search for a phrase cannot be done easily in JW Library or on jw.org. However, if you are looking for "Indescribable free gift" (which is 2 Corinthians 9:15), do your search on Watchtower Library (DVD version) or wol.jw.org; it can be done easily there. Type in the phrase you are looking for in the search box, surrounded by quotation marks ("), and you will find it quickly.

    To survive in this system I often prayed to not feel. Begged for it, and Jehovah answered. There's so much hurt in this world sometimes not feeling is the best medicine. FYI, in the last 5 years I had 4 little dogs and lost all. Heartbreaking. So to pray to not feel is a good coping mechanism for where we are.

    How much more sadness we feel when our loved ones, suffer.
  19. Ludwika
    My cats lived to 20 and 18 and my dog to 15, so yes I understand how you are feeling ❤️ And I've made the same decision, no more pets this side of Armageddon, simply because I would worry about them if I can't look after them during the GT.

    Yes ... so many of us have experienced exactly what you describe. It's a deep and profound sadness. On the day we lost our last pet, a sister happened to call not knowing what just happened. I told her it was one of the saddest days of my life losing our little "guy". She said something that initially hurt and seemed cold, heartless. But ... it worked for me, well, somewhat. She said "Don't think about it." So every time I started to think about how badly I missed him, I prayed and prayed to Jehovah to please let me not think about it. He helped me. Over time the pain subsided. This was my experience and even now as I type, tears well up. Please know you are not alone in your feelings. They bring us such happiness and comfort, don't they. It's difficult when they are gone.

    I'm sorry you're feeling so much pain, @Dhanyel. I think Brother @Araujo JW would have something to say about this, and I hope I'm not overstepping by saying that.💛

    This is not the appropriate place, but I didn’t want to create another topic to talk about this. My 12-year-old cat passed away today and I am devastated. It is very sad to see animal suffering. What a feeling of sadness… I need to learn how to deal with this situation and be aware that I need to maintain a more balanced perspective about animals, but it hurts a lot. Has anyone ever gone through the situation of having a pet for so long and watching them pass away naturally? Honestly, I don’t want to get another animal to take care of; it is too much suffering. I will wait for paradise.

    I find it difficult to search beyond just words on nwt or any translation on jwl. Do others have the same difficulty? Like can I search for: Indescribable free gift... Phrases, sentences rather than singleton words ? If possible please help Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk

    Some years ago we had a group like that, but they put shopping bags over their heads, phoned the news agency locally, and did an interview. When the interviewers left, so did they. Hmmm? Is that grandstanding?

    Monday, July 6 Let us not give up in doing what is fine.—Gal. 6:9. At Psalm 15:2, a friend of God is described as “the one who is walking faultlessly, practicing what is right.” The terms “walking” and “practicing” imply action that is both constant and progressive. But can we really ‘walk faultlessly’? Yes. While no human is perfect, Jehovah will view us as “walking faultlessly” if we do our best to obey him. When we dedicate ourselves to God and get baptized, we are just starting on our journey with God. Note that in Bible times, merely belonging to the nation of Israel would not automatically qualify a person to be a guest of Jehovah. Some called on him but not “in truth and righteousness.” (Isa. 48:1) Sincere Israelites had to learn about Jehovah’s requirements and follow them. Similarly, to enjoy God’s approval today, more is required of us than getting baptized and associating with the Christian congregation. We must keep “practicing what is right.” w24.06 9 ¶4; 10 ¶6

    One additional point worth mentioning is that there are actually two different "cash" issues that often get lumped together. One is profitability. Dealerships often earn additional income when a buyer finances through them, so a financed deal can be more valuable to the dealership than a purchase made without dealer financing. The other is compliance. My daughter's boyfriend is a sales manager for Toyota, and he explained that transactions involving large amounts of actual currency can create anti-money-laundering reporting requirements and additional paperwork. So when some dealership employees are less enthusiastic about a "cash deal," it isn't always just about profit. It's also worth distinguishing between paying with actual cash (currency) and buying without financing. Those are not the same thing. A cashier's check, bank wire, or personal check is often referred to as a "cash purchase," even though no currency changes hands. So both explanations can be correct, depending on what type of "cash" we're talking about.

      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 think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)
