  2. It gets better https://www.livescience.com/space/black-holes/james-webb-telescope-may-have-discovered-the-earliest-most-distant-supermassive-black-hole-ever-seen
  3. Much thanks, Mike…unfortunately, I no longer have the original downloaded file. Those ideas would have worked, though. I still have a PDF copy…it just will not be integrated into my library app anymore. Thanks anyway!
  4. Today
  5. Meriwhether Lewis died at age 35, in a one room cabin he was renting, over night. He had been Thomas Jefferson's personal Secretary, and completed a transcontinental expedition following the Louisiana Purchase with Clark,(whom he had served in military duty with)translator Sacajawea, and her husband.He had been appointed governor of Upper Louisiana and settled in St. Louis, Missouri. His reputation is mixed, having successfully settled and enforced some indigenous treaties, but got involved in political, financial,freemasonry and administrative controversies. The night of his death in 1809, he was on his way to Washington D.C. to settle some financial questionings and to have his expedition notes delivered to a publisher. He had chosen a risky pioneer road to travel and is reported to have already attempted suicide once. Murder or suicide? The debate continues.
  6. Yonder window breaks is the last part of a well known line from Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet, spoken by Romeo.
  7. Uani, this is for the original, and still used Watchtower Library, on Windows operating systems. Formerly WTL on DVD.
  8. Question... is this update for the app or for online version? I haven't checked my laptop, just my phone and tablet.
  9. I am updated. But you could go on to jw.org and download the update if you don't want to wait anymore.
  10. Me too. I'm not nearly as dead as it's been reported. At least... not yet.
  11. Keep this meandering topic going! I enjoy hearing what you share.
  12. The Mayflower and the Speedwell left for America, but the Speedwell has problems,(leaking and illnesses on both boats, pneumonia and tb) and the passengers joined the Mayflower. The ship was overcrowded and people got tired and sick quickly. A man kept urging the other passengers to throw the sick people overboard but they wouldn’t, as their colony was already going to be very small. One passenger that died was the man who urged others to throw the sick overboard. A baby was born aboard the journey,so it is believed the same number boarded the ship as disembarked.
  13. Large dandelions included obvious undertones A J R S W
  14. Interviews usually always have to be edited. If the time allotted is shorter than the footage that was recorded, then there has to be an edit to fit the time. Saying the interview was edited to "make it seem president was encouraging Capitol riot" does not seem like much of an edit. I have seen the videos on other news outlets, and it seemed to me that the president did encourage the Capitol riot.
  15. home a gift for our family - it was a paper cup of chex cereal with a bow on it. Also got a similar paper cup with bow from my (former) sister in law, with four small cookies in the paper cup and covered with aluminum foil and again a stick on bow. I really don't miss those holidays at all.
  16. Keep seeing ads on tv for chex cereal. Years ago when I was first quitting holiday observations, my (now late) husband brought
  17. Roger strapped on his tool belt b/c he was going to help on a municipal building project, then check for info on a mountain or trail to hike later.
  18. The time varies depending on the server. Mine just updated to 2506.
  19. I am trying to liquify some debt owed to me and have settled from 6 figures to 4 figures so I can open up a new bank account, b/c mine is frozen due to theft, etc, and I cannot pay bills without a bank card or active checks. I have enough dog food to last another day (maybe two) and have to go to the bank tomorrow. I have been waiting for a health care aide, which was approved one and a half years ago. The agency was here last Thursday and said the aide would start last Friday, this Monday, Tues and Weds would be her first 4 days. Friday she came, but did not show up MOnday and Wednesday. I asked her to call if she is not coming, she never called me. Finally spoke to her today (I don't have a number or last name for her, or for the agency) and she said she has been calling the agency when she is not showing up and they should have notified me, NOT. Once again, I asked if she will PLease call me when she is going to skip it all together. I know she means well, but this is annoying and my ulcers and hernias act up more due to stress. I will attend the meeting on zoom tonight. Yikes, she just blew a circuit breaker. I told her the probs with my electric circuits, but it seems when she does bother to show up, she has her own mind of how to fill up her paid time here. Hope every one is having a decent day. YS

    • 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.”

      My deep love for my heavenly father and his confirmed love for me seems to be the only thing keeping me going lately. Picturing being reunited with my earthly father again; seeing the happiness versions of ourselves bring comfort to my scarred, broken heart. I love you, even when I haven’t met many of you. Keep enduring friends, paradise is just around the corner...

      Sad news 😭 that sister LindaL from Sardegna Italy passed away. She was on this forum. She will be remembered for her quiet generosity. She loved the world wide family of brothers and sisters dearly.

      I tried to change my handle to 'whoosh>' but the system doesn't allow. It would be good to know the rules beforehand on what is not permitted. 😮‍💨

      I am thoroughly convinced that 99% of people are programmed, and only 1% really think & reason on matters.

      As an example, how did the above statement make you feel right away?

      Did you:

      1. Feel a twinge of offense?  Like I was insulting you or someone you know?

      2. Not feel anything?  Because you knew it wasn't about you or someone you cared about?



      If you answered either 1 or 2, you are programmed.

      Now are you offended?  

      Any knee-jerk reaction = programming.  🤔🤔🤔

      When I originally made that statement, if you are not programmed, then perhaps you asked yourself:

      1. Could this apply to me?
      2. Could the brother be mistaken?
      3. Is there any truth to what he's saying?
      4. What is the brother trying to convey with this thought?
      5. Is this situation even worth my time and attention?

      We need knee-jerk reactions for life-or-death situations.  For snap decisions that cannot wait.  But this isn't one of those.  You have time.  Did you ask any of those questions when you read my first statement?  Did you ponder over it at all?

      NOW how do you feel?  A little enlightened?  Mind opening up to new possibilities for responding to situations?  Or more upset because this brother has no idea what he's talking about?  

      In any case, hope you had fun with this thought experiment....
