    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.

    Im on the watch for this. People are getting angry at govt. It just a matter of time. Meanwhile, we do our best to share good news.

    Busy hands are a sign of a devoted heart. Elders don't just carry titles in the congregation/organization, they carry people.

    Reminds me of the protests to the Vietnam War which went on for nearly 20 years and did not effect the outcome. This war has no congressional approval and is therefore defined as illegal. So sad that people are dying. These protests won't help. The Kingdom will.
  20. Beggar for the Spirit
    Thanks Eryk for deigning this! Can you give us some simple instructions for in(REF)ens to show how this plugin will automatically find references to our publications? For example, I already have many notes that have a copy of a paragraph from an article and it has the citation, like this: But after I installed in(REF)ens I then attempted to see how this plugin would find the reference, but I could not see how to do it?? Thanks for your help

    Please remember, though there is the GOAL to complete the territory within a year. You can only accomplish what can be accomplished, and that is why the CO will ask pioneers to work with 'this' congregation for a few weeks. Or even groups have been arraigned.

    No ... and the letter I sent, I just didn't recognize the brother's last name. At the time he was studying and whenever he got called on they referred to him by his first name. It wasn't until he got baptized did they call him by his last name, Bro So and So. He asked if he could keep the letter! 🥰

      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. ❤️
