Tuesday, October 20 The virgins who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast.—Matt. 25:10. In the parable of the virgins, Jesus spoke of ten virgins who went out to meet a bridegroom. (Matt. 25:1-4) They all hoped to accompany the bridegroom to his marriage feast. Jesus described five of them as “discreet” and the other five as “foolish.” The discreet virgins were prepared to wait for the bridegroom as long as needed, even if he arrived late at night. Thus, they brought oil lamps to provide light in the dark. They even brought extra oil in case the bridegroom should delay. So they were prepared to keep their lamps burning. (Matt. 25:6-10) When the bridegroom arrived, the discreet virgins went in with him to the wedding feast. In like manner, anointed Christians who have proved ready by remaining vigilant and faithful until the coming of Christ will be judged worthy of joining the Bridegroom, Jesus, in his heavenly Kingdom.—Rev. 7:1-3. w24.09 21 ¶6

Hi Steve, Beautiful song I also number a number of songs on my site eltonhendrix.com Four you might might like to hear are' Dark Horse 'About when I was going through a though time and the negitive things never seemed to end, 'Earths new distant shore' about our hope, 'Never run away' about loyalty to ones mate and 'Sailing Ship' about when one makes a bad decision but tries to get back to square. Many of these songs were inspired by Biblical principles that are mentioned in my comments in Behind the song. Please send me more of your music or where I can hear them. You have a beautiful talent very pleasant to listen to. Thanks, Your brother , Elton in Florida, USA

But its not about just corporal punishment I guess? The government guidelines, presented in a question-and-answer format, give examples of what it deems physical abuse, such as whipping during religious activities. The guidelines also cites parental acts it considers neglect, such as refusing blood transfusions deemed necessary for a child by doctors. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/04/13/japan/crime-legal/jehovahs-witnesses-sue-japan-government/

My topic title should be read as: AI Videos (ANY kind!) & Pictures of the New World… 🙃😄

Done! 😊 gemini_generated_video_1b22564f.mp4

I was actually thinking about it.... Will try.. 👍

It would be great if we had a video of each account we are studying in the CBS. Do you have one of Jericho?

Don't know whether there are musical sardines, but I know of a piano tuna

The dragon was spitting fire in the first video, so I had to put out his fire…😄

.

If the Tampa Bay Rays win tonight they will be playing the Milwaukee Brewers in the World Series. I have a sudden craving for beer battered seafood...🤣

Wow, it's impressive that it can recreate that account. Good job!

I live in senior apt complex. Ground floor living. Very small 550 sq ft. No garage. There are 9 witnesses here and several more on the waiting list. The manager is also a witness but I would not have known it without her telling me. Very aloof, not warm friendly like I am use to. I have way to much stuff for the space I have. But I have bought a rocket stove that would cook off liquid sterno. I bought a bed tent so when I loose electric for heat my Poppy and Maggie Mae and I can stay cozy and warm. I have two Tupperware type totes that I have dry food in. They are large like 2.5 ft long by 2 ft tall approx. I hate what little space I have no longer feels homey and pretty but looks like a old lady hoarder. I have gone to all the friends and told them where I live so we all know where to go, who to trust. I know my neighbors. Alma who lives directly behind me is a character. She looks like granny Clampett but smokes weed like Willie and Snoop. I do believe she could smoke them under the table. I thought weed makes you hungry but it looks like she does not eat at all. Yes Granny Clampett described her size, stature and shuffling gait. Instead of a shotgun she totes bear spray holstered on her hip and a life alert hanging from her neck. In just under one year that I have been here she has been to the hospital 3 times. She asked me if I ever 'got a good look at our fire men (department)? I said no I am sure they look good. 🤪 It never hurts to have an attractive face to look at as all muscle and brawn lift you to what might be your final destination. Our maintenance man cautioned me to avoid her baked goods because she gave him a gummy candy that put him in the dirt. I do believe the GT will be very interesting in my neck of the woods. I also bought heavy contractors bags to put in bathtub and hopefully can have enough notice to fill them up with water and they are used as a bladder to hold a 55 gal bag of water. Life straws and a solar batter. I've thought about small freezer but just no space. I must rely on Jehovah for the rest. I pray for all our friends everywhere that we stick tight like Velcro.

It didn't come out well as I expected... gemini_generated_video_cd781563.mp4

I was going to use beef stew as my password. But apparently it wasn't stroganoff 😳

We also have canned foods and packaged dry foods , all stored in plastic containers in our garage (no room for a car). We hope to be able to store enough for 3 or so days, and hold quantity for at least another 2 - 3 people. In our road and the adjoining one, there are 24 brothers, including 5 under 10. If we all did the same in terms of storage, we could also help our neighbours, who are not as likely to be so well prepared.

I keep cans of sardines and tuna around on a shelf.

We have canned food and other necessities in plastic containers but I also purchased marine emergency rations that are very small and have a long shelf life. We have some in the to-go bags and in the vehicles just in case.

We are now being told by both our organisation and our governments to store food etc for 3 days plus, depending where we are living I know that many Americans have huge houses often with cellars and can easily store things… but most of us in other countries either have small apartments or houses, so space is limited I’m thinking of storing things under the bed etc… I don’t have lots of food here but I’m trying to buy extras as I can So where are you storing food? i need to keep things away from mice and because the house is very damp all dry goods will need to be in a sealed container

Meanwhile in my world I’m still trying to decide whether I buy tea bag’s or potatoes 😆

A lot of countries are now bringing in curfews to try and bring back law and order… they’re rioting over many different things, food shortages, schools, economy etc, but one thing is sure that it’s spreading through Europe It must be so frightening for the friends caught up in this, maybe unable to leave their homes etc It’s good to keep them all in our prayers.

Peace & Security

Protest is finish.

In some countries in Europe they eat without letting the guest eat with them! Or they let them eat and then bill them at the end for literally every slice of bread etc. We definitely don't want to do that to guests ourselves 😅
