    Everyone close your eyes and try to visualize what you're looking at. This is a planetary nebula. The "ring" is actually a sphere of gas left behind as the star expanded and then collapsed on itself as it died. It looks like a ring simply because perspective has us looking through sphere so it is thinner at the center and thicker at the edges. It luminesces because of the ionization of those gasses from the remnants of the central star. Just...wow. I cannot WAIT to own a telescope in the new system.

    Okay . . Chapter 11 reorganization allows a business to restructure their debt while remaining open and keeping employees. Chapter 11 assumes the debtor is more valuable to the economy as an ongoing entity than shutting down. Creditors get to vote on the reorganization plan. For the court to sign-off, it must be convinced the plan is in the best interest of the creditors. It involves significant court oversight. A debtor is not permitted to file any chapter of bankruptcy if it can be proven they have been involved in criminal activity. Enjoy Life Forever ~ Lesson 56 , Endnote 7: There are some situations that may need to be settled legally: Bankruptcy. A Christian who uses the court to settle such matters as peacefully as he can is not violating the Bible's counsel.

    Agreed because he has bankrupt about 6-7 of his own businesses. His crypto is mostly a failure. His wealth is from his daddy that got him started. He's not self-made. He is not a Bezos.

    My favorite would most likely be I usually put crushed red peppers on mine Coming in second may be something I make either in a cast iron skillet of air fryer ... chicken breast with potatoes and onions. The easy air fryer method for 1 person: Cut up one potato into medium sized cubes. Lightly oil and season with your preferred seasonings Put in air fryer set at 400º for 15 minutes. Shake basket a couple times during first 8 minutes While potatoes cook, cut up chicken breast into similar sized cubes (chicken can be semi-frozen) Lightly coat with oil and season with your preferred seasonings. When timer reaches 8 minutes, add chicken and shake slightly. Re-shake every two minutes When there is about 5 minutes left on air fryer, place desired amount and type of onion in microwave and cook on high setting. Onions don't fare well in an air fryer basket at 400º Serve in bowl or on plate with cooked onions.

    Are those dill pickles or sweet pickles?

  17. Cats started following Republican politics is killing churches and Quick and easy Polish pickle and pork sausage soup
  18. Cats
    I made this a while ago and only once, but it tasted like how it did in Poland. It's probably better to use Polish pickles but I used normal British pickles cut up as well as a bunch of the pickle juice and sliced Mattesons original smoked pork sausage. I think I put some diced onions in it too. Also, you could put sour cream on top of it, but I don't think I did. It was so good and easy to make. Hopefully I'm telling you guys the right recipe here 😅 let me know if you make it
  19. Cats
    Good idea thanks. I only made it once and it was super simple compared to how you're meant to do it but it tasted the same, so good...
  20. Cats
    Lots of 'cultural Christians'/atheists nowadays. They will complain about people of other religions living in their countries and having lots of children yet they don't want children themselves (birth rate is falling, and not surprising when even 2 middle class incomes is barely enough anymore when you used to be able to live on just 1 working class wage for example!). No professionalism at work anymore - it's pretty shocking what people will say at work; swearing, NSFW jokes, borderline or completely racist comments, discussing politics, etc.

    Friday, January 23 When you make gifts of mercy, do not blow a trumpet ahead of you.—Matt. 6:2. After Jesus returned to heaven, the apostle Peter performed a miracle by healing a man who was lame from birth. (Acts 1:8, 9; 3:2, 6-8) Naturally, this amazing event drew a crowd of people. (Acts 3:11) Would Peter bask in the glory of the moment, given that he had come from a background where prominence and position were greatly emphasized? No, Peter humbly directed praise away from himself and gave the rightful credit to Jehovah and Jesus, saying: “Through [Jesus’] name, and by our faith in his name, this man whom you see and know has been made strong.” (Acts 3:12-16) We can follow Peter’s example in cultivating humility. We perform tasks for others because we love Jehovah and we love people, not because we love to be admired. If we happily serve Jehovah and our brothers in any way we can, regardless of whether our efforts are noticed, we give evidence of being humble.—Matt. 6:1-4. w25.0310-11 ¶11-12

    NEW: Secrets of the Human Body, Episode 3 - How to Build a Baby From the website: "Consider whether the remarkable coherence of birth and human development is better explained by chance or by intention. In this episode of Secrets of the Human Body, join medical doctor Howard Glicksman and systems engineer Steve Laufmann as they investigate the intricate systems required to build a human baby. Human development requires extraordinary coordination, timing, and information from the very start. Cell differentiation and organ formation depend on plans and signals that are still poorly understood. The placenta and fetal circulatory system demonstrate precise, just-in-time biological engineering. Many foundational problems of life must be solved before evolutionary mechanisms can operate. A design-based framework offers an alternative way to interpret biological coherence and complexity. It’s an amazing story you won’t want to miss. Be sure to share it with your family and friends!"

    Here in Brazil, many people have abandoned the Christian religion to follow “Christian influencers” on TikTok. These influencers teach that people do not need to go to church, because true Christians understand that God is not worshipped in a so-called “church building” or a “temple.” They say you can have fellowship with Jesus wherever you are today. As the Bible says: “God is a Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24) In this sense, the waters around Great Babylon will dry up. People will abandon temples and churches and will follow Christian influencers instead.

    The Scriptures tell us to show respect for governments because they are permitted instruments for maintaining order, not because they are righteous or lasting. (Romans 13:1; 1 Peter 2:13, 14) Jehovah’s organization has consistently taught us not to analyze political parties or weigh in on whether one side is doing better or worse than another. We do not point fingers at Republicans or Democrats, left or right. Instead, we speak about the limits of all human governments by comparing them to God’s Kingdom—the only arrangement that can truly bring justice, peace, and relief. (Daniel 2:44; Psalm 146:3) That restraint is not silence born of fear, nor approval by default. It is neutrality—respectful, deliberate, and anchored in the understanding that no human system deserves our confidence or our commentary beyond what the Scriptures already say.

    And even a lot of republican jesus-worshippers don’t go to church as they don’t believe in organized religion. They’d rather watch “Christian influencers” on tik tok
  31. Barbllm
    Yes, it is, but the point remains: evangelical Christianity in the US is coming under further scrutiny based on its involvement in politics and the politicians who claim to be Christian and yet act in a way that is diametrically opposed to Christ's teachings.

      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.”

      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!

      Hi Alter, welcome to JWTalk!
      It’s nice to have you here. I see you’re from the Lake Chapala area—beautiful place, and I imagine the scenery and weather don’t disappoint.
      You’ll find this is a friendly, encouraging forum. Many enjoy browsing the ongoing discussions or spending some quiet time in the photo gallery when they feel like reading rather than posting.
      One small note that may help: since the forum works in English, most brothers use translation software when posting. That usually makes things smoother and helps everyone follow along easily.
      Thanks for joining us, and we’re glad you’re here. Looking forward to getting to know you and seeing what you’d like to share.
