  1. Past hour
  2. Idk about the algorithms but I've only had problems on tiktok. I don't use it very much
  3. I came here to say that! It’s down to algorithms… they follow you around the internet and give you content that it thinks you would like to see ! I’ve never come across an apostate account on Instagram etc, the only time I may see any kind of apostate on FB is if they’re commenting on a news article and then I avoid it like the plague!

  4. Saturday, June 27 Go on bringing them up in the discipline and admonition of Jehovah.—Eph. 6:4. What about baptized minors—those under 18 years of age—who engage in serious wrongdoing? The body of elders will arrange for two elders to meet with the minor and his Christian parents. The elders will find out what steps the parents have already taken to help their child come to repentance. If the minor has a good attitude and the parents are reaching him, the two elders might decide that it is not necessary to take the matter any further. After all, it is the parents’ God-given responsibility to provide loving correction to their children. (Deut. 6:6, 7; Prov. 6:20; 22:6; Eph. 6:2-4) The elders will thereafter occasionally check with the parents to make sure that the minor is getting the help he needs. However, what if a baptized minor unrepentantly persists in a wrong course? In that case, a committee of elders will meet with him along with his Christian parents. w24.08 24 ¶18
  5. Oh my🙏🙏🙏🙏. A report on Jw.org says: So far 1 sister and 5 brothers are now in Jehovahs memory. 58 missing and 35 injured. Pray everyone else is accounted for 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/venezuela/Multiple-Earthquakes-Devastate-Venezuela/
  6. Today
  7. Both my comments were in regards to the ministry and how the Slave encourages us to go where the people are. Whether adjusting the times/ days we go door to door, engaging in cart/ public/ informal witnessing, or either directing people to or sharing videos from jw_pressroom- those are all excellent ways to share Jehovah's Organization with others. Why would anyone feel bad or left out? All ages are included, right? It's not an exclusive club.. 😖 I'm honestly puzzled that some seem to be viewing this new avenue as a dirty secret or something. The Slave has clearly endorsed it- let's advertise, advertise, advertise it! 💪🏼💥
  8. Thank you! I will add this to my screen for easy multiple reviews. When I said I follow directions if I understand them does not mean they have to make sense to me. It does mean they need to be easy to follow, not over complicated, not have so many steps I can't remember what to do next. So my memory retention is somewhat faulty. Gso, gve me a string of numbers and I will definitely struggle trying to remember what order I heard them but I will be pretty accurate recalling all the numbers I heard. Transpose. Phone numbers? I got the right numbers just turned them around. So what good is that? If I'm partnered up with someone good at sequencing I'm good with remembering the right numbers. I'm a rule follower. Our marriage counselor told Rick and I that we were the perfect example of opposites attract. He used the example of a no trespassing sign. He said I would turn around without questioning but Rick on the other hand would read it, interest would spark and now nothing can stop him. He took it as a challenge not instruction. Does that make sense? Yes my default mode is to apply humor to everything. It may land me in the principals office but I laughed as the way there.
  9. I'm not sure if you're kidding or not, but you might want to watch this new video, if you haven't already. I like the way he lays out the specifics of the detailed instructions. https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=jwlshare&wtlocale=E&lank=pub-jwbvod26_24_VIDEO
  10. Sometimes Pauline enhances living language W O B T N
  11. Finally was the other last word. Finally, an heir was born and a new story because each ending suggests a new beginning. I hope someone suggests a new beginning of a fictional story.
  12. IMHO Social media requires less or equal tech-savyness compared to other types of platforms, like webshops or government tax filings etc Also I see another trend: the more tech savy a person becomes often they become more aware of the downsides of technology but maybe thats just my bubble as a tech policy advisor.
  13. Nice. If I could somehow do that in a comment I would as well. And yes it's fantastic. I'm not sure I'm shy about bringing it up necessarily but in the past, when I've brought up technology and it's advantages within the brotherhood/organization, I think I've made some older ones feel left out. They're struggling just to keep up and doing the best they can. Sometimes ... okay well, many times ... I'm not as sensitive as I ought to be, so even at 70yo I'm a work in progress! 😄 Younger ones? I wouldn't hesitate to talk about it, just there hasn't been an occasion. My association is limited is all. B-t-w, I noticed on IG previously there were 14 posts, now there are only 13. What's missing? or did I imagine the 14 posts? Lol!
  14. Retired school teacher here. Tectonic plates move (slowly) b/c of the way Jah made the earth. Tsunamis and volcanoes occur when the bonds within rocks break, That is why we say Jehovah s a rock; his bond is THAT strong.
  15. I don't understand, why do tectonic plates move? Why does a volcano erupt? Is it natural or a consequence of human mismanagement?
  16. Why ewww? It's a decent social network....way better than Facebook...
  17. What sort of algorithm do you have? I've been on socials since 2012 and I can't recall running into any apostate accounts. I'm only on Facebook and Instagram, not TikTok, but still..
  18. That's too bad. 😞 I referenced the Pressroom in two different comments at meetings over the past month. It's a fantastic channel the brothers have provided- why be shy about it? 🤷🏽‍♀️
  19. Same. I'm wondering if once the pilot program (I forgot, is that what it is called?) is over and it is established/set then likely it will be featured on an update ... don't you think? Then, at that time, it may become a topic of conversation. Most likely 🤷‍♀️🙂
  20. The days text today 26th June. So true, Jehovah reads heart's. That's why we have to work hard to protect them
  21. Yesterday, a new article regarding this case appeared on JW.ORG. Brothers said that on the 26th of July the BGH court in Germany is supposed to give a verdict and in fact they did. According to the source below this higher court overturned a ruling by the Cologne Higher Regional Court and remanded the case for a new hearing and decision: https://www.diesachsen.de/en/culture/dispute-over-jehovahs-witnesses-archive-must-be-reopened-3152554
  22. Same here, hours later it no longer appeared. However it has a blank screen for a lengthy period when it just says "Authenticating" which I never noticed before. Since the pop up box disappeared it seems that this was on the developers end.
  23. There are more JWs than apostates. If more JWs learned to be tech-savy, JWs would outnumber apostates on social media and the problem would be no more. If JWs hesitate to use social media because of apostates, we remain trapped in a vicious circle where we would always be outnumbered even though we are more numerous irl.

    • 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.”

      Sniff, THE turtle has turned himself into Prince Charming. Somehow the mutation has gone horribly wrong.
      He's practically the mascot of this forum.

      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)

      There were many JW artists I followed on Instagram, they created beautiful Christian illustrations. But for some reason many deleted their accounts out of the blue, no trace left.
       
      I don't know why and it makes me very sad
