  1. Past hour
  2. The audio description only specifies older editions (plural) of the NWT. So the 2 bibles depicted are black and the other green. The green NWTs were pretty thick, especially the early ones when they finally had the entire Bible
  3. Today
  4. I agree with the above assessment. As closely as I can see, that green book is one of the old Bibles. The title on the spine takes five lines, but the title on 'Things in Which it is Impossible for God to Lie' is six lines. Taking a closer look, the last two lines seem to begin with a capital H and a capital S.
  5. The green book on the far right? It looks like ‘………..on the holy scriptures ‘ to me….🤷
  6. It’s rated R for violence and profanity so I won’t be watching the movie.
  7. I studied The Odyssey as one of my A levels in school as part of Classical Civilisation. That and the Aeneid and the Iliad.
  8. In March of 2025, Brother @Lance posted that a privacy legal case in British Columbia may go to the Supreme Court of Canada. That topic is now closed so I will continue it here, since that case will indeed be decided by Canada's highest court. These links will give a little background on the case: https://albernivalleynews.com/2025/03/23/bc-jehovahs-witnesses-privacy-case-may-go-to-supreme-court/ and https://www.scc-csc.ca/pdf/case-documents/41816/MM050_Applicant_John-Vabuolas-Paul-Sidhu-Grand-Forks-Congregation-of-Jehovah's-Witnesses-Coldstream-Congregation-of -ehovah's-Witnesses-and-Watch-Tower-Bible-and-Tract Society-of-Canada_Reply_2.pdf. Now, we hear the following news. (This was sent to me in an email, so there is no official news link.) To my knowledge, we have never had the opportunity to see a live session of the Supreme Court of Canada before. So this should be interesting, if you can follow the dense legalese language they may be speaking there. However, the Court's final decision of the case will not likely be heard until some time later.
  9. Yesterday
  10. In next week's 'Treasures from God's Word' section, there's a picture showing an old, black New World Translation Bible and the Sing Praises to Jehovah songbook. But the green book, actually, it looks like “Things in Which It Is Impossible for God to Lie.” Is that right?"
  11. The problem with ink, besides being expensive, is that unless you use the printer often the cartridges dry up. I bought a laser printer many years ago and don't want to have an ink printer ever again. Laser printers may be more expensive at first sight, but toner lasts for ages. You can often find a laser all-in-one device at second hand for $100 or less. If you prefer buying it new, you can find them for between $200 and $300, or almost half that if color is not a need for you. I now have a wireless Brother MFC-L3750CDW that has everything your Canon does, and it has been working without a glitch for eight years. This model is big because it also works as a photocopier with all the different paper trays, but there are much smaller models out there.
  12. Doesn't post-production mean that it has already been filmed? They didn't finish gnj yet.
  13. Monday, July 20 Kindly forgive and comfort him, so that he may not be overwhelmed by excessive sadness.—2 Cor. 2:7. Imagine what could happen if the elders refused to allow a truly repentant man back into the congregation or if after his return, the congregation refused to show him love. He could be swallowed up by “excessive sadness.” He could easily feel that his situation was hopeless. He might even give up in his efforts to repair his relationship with God. Even worse, if the other brothers and sisters in the congregation refused to forgive the repentant sinner, they would put their own relationship with Jehovah in jeopardy. Why? Because they would reflect, not Jehovah’s forgiving attitude toward repentant wrongdoers, but Satan’s harsh and merciless attitude. They would, in effect, become tools that the Devil could use to destroy the man spiritually.—2 Cor. 2:10, 11; Eph. 4:27. w24.08 17 ¶7, 10-11
  14. LC406 Ink Combo Pack Replacement for Brother MFC-J5855DW MFC-J6555DW Inkvestment Tank All-in-One Printer (4 Pack) current price $36 Can
  15. Which means it’s already filmed that’s nice !! where was it filmed? in Australia?
  16. Any desserts? https://www.space.com/astronomy/black-holes/james-webb-space-telescope-discovers-how-black-holes-feed-themselves
  17. I bought a Brother all in one with internal tanks that you fill by means of a cartridge. It empties cartridges into tanks, no mess, no fuss. lasts a Long time. Got mine on sale at Staples Canada. duplex printing 3 colours plus larger black internal tanks. MFC - J5855DW p.s. bought extra set of ink from Amazon.
  18. All the convention dates, version 0.2 June 2026 Douala, Cameroon — June 19–21 Bucharest, Romania — June 19–21 Curitiba, Brazil — June 26–28 July 2026 St. John’s, Canada — July 3–5 Warsaw, Poland — July 3–5 Stockholm, Sweden — July 3–5 Kaohsiung, Taiwan — July 3–5 Porto, Portugal — July 10–12 Panama City, Panama — July 10–12 Calgary, Canada — July 31 – August 2 August 2026 Vilnius, Lithuania — August 7–9 Utrecht, Netherlands — August 7–9 Quito, Ecuador — August 7–9 Johannesburg, South Africa — August 7–9 Hamburg, Germany — August 14–16 Milwaukee, USA — August 28–30 November 2026 Manila, Philippines — November 6–8 San Diego, USA — November 27–29 December 2026 Bangkok, Thailand — December 11–13
  19. It seemed snappy with my 6k notes. I think this tool will motivate me to use my phone for more studying as I didn’t have a reliable and easy sync method before. My first attempt had playlists in it and it yielded some mixing of some custom media I had in there. But I had them backed up so I just deleted them.
  20. Jehovah's Witnesses Conventions, Canada, St. John's, Welcome to Canada! Held from July 3–5, 2026, at the St. John's Convention Centre (101 New Gower Street) and the adjoining Mary Brown's Centre (formerly Mile One Centre). https://www.jwevent.org/Home/AboutConvention 2026 ETERNAL HAPPINESS (INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION) Canada https://youtu.be/ZMggMKbEfcg?si=GjibEptCm0CriSfs
  21. that sounds like an excellent printer . To replace the cartridges for my wife's printer cost around £220
  22. I use a Canon Pixma printer TR8622. It has ADF, back side vertical paper dispensing and lower front paper source as well. It is a multicolor unit with 4 CLI-221 cartridges and a large PGI-280 black cartridge. The XXL hold the most ink. A set of five cartridges is less than $10 (even at Walmart). I pay less than that on eBay.
  23. The reason the question was asked is that Ramapo is not built yet. So if filming is over and sent to "post-production" for finishing...where was it filmed? Pre-production would be getting ready 'before' filming.
  24. Jehovah's Witnesses Conventions, Ecuador, Quito, Welcome to Ecuador! Held from August 7–9, 2026, at Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado (nicknamed 'La Casa Blanca,' Spanish for 'The White House' — the home stadium of LDU Quito) https://www.jwevent.org/Home/AboutConvention "2026 International Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses, August 2 to August 11, 2026." (This website refers to room bookings provided for delegates of the 2026 International Convention, Ecuador, Quito. So the convention date falls on August 7–9, 2026. Around 30,000 people are expected to participate, including 4,300 visitors from various countries, who will arrive in Quito, Ecuador.) https://www.swissotelquito.com/testigosdejehova2026
  25. I watched this cartoon as a kid if that counts
  26. I have never read the book - I also did not know Homer made a movie ...

    • 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.”

      I always thought that "branch representative" meant a member of the branch committee, but apparently it's not the case? So who can be a branch representative?

      Jehovah's name is explained to Moses as meaning "I shall prove to be, what I shall prove to be". This is a reference to the fact that, whatever is his will, he can make it a reality.
       
      If that is so, why did the Septuagint, which was translated by Jews who knew the language, translate it as egō eimi ho ōn? (“I am the One who is”), which seemingly refers to God's aseity rather than having to do with his purpose?
