    As others have said, you need to find the reason. Some common reasons teenagers don't want to attend meetings are that they get bored and that they don't have friends there. If they get bored, maybe preparing the meeting with them in a different way could help. If they don't have friends, maybe you can start spending time with some in the congregation so that they can make friends. You cannot force a 19-year-old to attend meetings, but if you find out his motivation you can do something about it.

    The point he makes is just like Fox is a tool for the right, Afternet is a tool for the left. If thatcher way you lean you are more likely to agree with their material. It really seems we are misusing this board going off on these tangents. Let’s get out of these political strings and do more up building huh?
  12. Qapla
    One thing to keep in mind ... many people start talking when they think their job or position is being supplanted by a particular technology or advancement - when it doesn't take those things away, they are OK with whatever comes along

    But we can’t single out one persuasion. Evangelicals, Catholic, Baptist, none teach the truth and most all are leaking members.

    I can definitely see a progression towards getting rid of religion if it interferes in the consolidation of power. Religion, throughout the years, has been a useful tool for controlling people. The problem is that most people think their religion is what Jesus taught because they don't actually read the Bible for themselves. They listen to sermons and agree.
  15. Regular
    Which religion besides ours looks like what Jesus taught?
  16. Regular
    Or maybe Satan is using his powers over governments worldwide to break religion. Or maybe it’s part of Jehovah’s plan? I kinda lean that way.
  17. Regular
    I would say there is lots of flavors of kool aid. I see friends here supporting the democratic/socialist flavor also. definitely a fine line

    I am on a fixed income from SS benefits. We will get a small increase and the last 3 years since I started it only covers the increase of part B so I don't look for it to be different this year. May I ask how you are coping with the increase in fuel since most need it for work and service? It's mostly retired pioneers out in our hall during the week because the others are working and have families. I'm curious as to how fuel increase will effect our ministry? I always contribute to the gas fund because some are not able. We had an announcement a month ago re contributions being a little shy , you could tell it was an uncomfortable part the elder had to address.

    Price for diesel in my neck of the woods in regional NSW varies between AUD$2.48-2.74/litre. So a US gallon, allowing for FX conversion would be US$6.71- 7.42 😕

    When I was growing up my parents had a messy divorce, which still affects my family 10+ years later. After they split up I started to have serious doubts about the truth and Jehovah- this wasn’t helped by the way the elders mishandled it at the time. But working through those doubts and overcoming them made me realise how valuable my relationship with Jehovah is and motivated me to dedicate my life to him. I think the 1st step to helping them is finding the root cause- and it may be different for each one of them. They may wonder why Jehovah had allowed the family breakdown to happen, or they may worry that others are judging or gossiping about them. There are so many possibilities and really the only way to know is by trying to have an open conversation with them, on an individual basis if possible. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/teenagers/spirituality/ This may be helpful for your family too: https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/teenagers/ask/my-parents-are-divorcing/

    If I’m calculating correctly, We are about $9 or $10 per gallon here in Scotland.
  25. Dhanyel
    Yes, it’s similar in Brazil. We also have different prices for gasoline and diesel. Here in Brazil, we pay in Brazilian reais (BRL). As of September 2026, regular gasoline is around R$6.60 per liter, while diesel is around R$6.50–R$6.90 per liter. I converted the prices to US dollars only for comparison: that’s roughly US$1.30 per liter for gasoline and US$1.27–$1.35 per liter for diesel. So yes, there is a difference between gasoline and diesel here too.

    Understanding music from the academic perspective of how music has been taught, written, and institutionalized have been used to maintain social classes, gatekeep professions, and protect elite status

    Monday, September 14 Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.—John 6:53. Back in Noah’s day, God prohibited humans from consuming blood. (Gen. 9:3, 4) Jehovah repeated that restriction in his Law to Israel. Anyone eating blood was to “be put to death.” (Lev. 7:27, ftn.) Jesus upheld that Law. (Matt. 5:17-19) So it is unthinkable that he would urge a crowd of Jews to consume his actual flesh or drink the blood in his veins. Jesus was speaking in a figurative sense, as he had done earlier when he told a Samaritan woman: “The water that I will give . . . will . . . impart everlasting life.” (John 4:7, 14) Jesus was not suggesting that the Samaritan woman would get everlasting life simply by drinking certain literal water. Similarly, he was not saying that the crowds he spoke to in Capernaum would live forever if they ate his literal flesh and drank his literal blood. w24.12 9 ¶4-6

    Same here, a little over $6 per gallon

    Some thoughts in point form; Do you need to work full-time ? 2 days fulltime service not fullfilling? Think about the quality not the quantity of hours. Working front of house ,receptionist clinic you will connect with so many people. Receptionist clinic / customer service jobs are draining, it is not a mindless job. There's many demands mentally. Most likely you'll want to go straight home and sleep after.

      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. ❤️
