  1. Past hour
  2. 3 are left, and 3 are on the right
  3. If you had shown an image of a carton of a dozen eggs the answer would have been obvious!
  4. 4, but @Witness1970 makes a good point. It's hard to tell if there is a language barrier sometimes.
  5. The words broke 2 are ambiguous. I break eggs before I fry them and eat them. it would be tha same 2 eggs. But the words "I HAVE six eggs" indicates that you have 6 eggs after you 'broke 2, fried 2 and ate 2' so, the answer is 6 are left.
  6. Should You Pay Off Your Mortgage or Invest? https://clark.com/personal-finance-credit/investing-retirement/should-you-pay-off-your-mortgage-or-invest/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=Newsletter&utm_campaign=ClarkDailyNewsletter&_bhlid=53f4e1676adb1af44c64601ac1786af66cf90cd4

  8. The concept of eternity has a broad range of interpretations for this state. Immortality is one form of eternal life. Perhaps in the future, we will learn more about what the concept of eternity encompasses and what other varieties of state Jehovah can apply to something or someone. For example, Jehovah describes himself as eternal. We do not doubt his immortality. However, angels, cherubim, and seraphim, just like humans, are not endowed with such a capacity. The Bible nowhere mentions this. Of course, we can compare our state of eternity to that of the angels. However, we are not talking about the state of the body, but about the state of eternity that Jehovah applies. Jesus and anointed Christians receive eternal life, which includes a state of immortality, autonomy (as we understand it). But, whatever the state of Jehovah's creation, it will always be subordinate and under Jehovah's control. Jehovah is the Supreme Ruler, the Creator of everything. Here, the issue is most likely not one of trust, but of the reward Jehovah bestows upon his creations. Immortality is a reward, like eternal life, not a matter of trust. When there are several children in a family, the Father will want to give each one a unique gift. This doesn't mean He trusts one child more than the other. It's a reward, not a trust.
  9. That depends on the browser you are using. Is that Chrome on Android?
  10. If you mark someone by mistake as the group overseer or assistant, or if the group overseer or assistant changes, that "no" serves to unmark the previous brother. Selecting a new overseer doesn't unmark the previous one.
  11. When we are provoked, we can resist the tendency to react harshly. Comment: The example of Isaac shows that mildness is not a sign of weakness, but of trust in Jehovah. Even though he was treated unjustly repeatedly, he avoided conflict and left the matter in God's hands. This attitude reflected the spiritual training received from Abraham and Sarah and demonstrated faith that Jehovah blesses those who seek peace. Mildness protects our spirituality and promotes peace. Practical Lesson: When we are provoked or treated unjustly, we can resist the tendency to react harshly. Imitating Isaac means remaining calm, avoiding unnecessary disputes, and trusting that Jehovah will take care of the situation. Developing a “quiet and mild spirit” helps us preserve peace in the family and in the congregation, and maintain a good friendship with God.
  12. Best Leave Everything Sensible, Sister. W H I C H
  13. I understand that, it's just that then I somehow fail to see a meaningful difference between being immortal or not. If you are not immortal, you ultimately depend on Jehovah to sustain your existence. But he will never stop to do that as long as you are faithful (in the new world). If you are immortal, you don't depend on him to sustain you, but he can still end your existence, if you don't stay faithful. Where is the big difference then? Where is the need that he has a great trust in them that they will stay faithul?
  14. The first sentence makes your answer incorrect. The sentance has "have", not "had".
  15. Nicaragua bars tourists from bringing Bibles https://aleteia.org/2025/12/20/nicaragua-bars-tourists-from-bringing-bibles/ Government likely wants to control translations I guess.
  16. Palantir CEO buys monastery in Old Snowmass for $120 million https://www.denverpost.com/2025/12/17/palantir-alex-karp-snowmass-monastery/amp/ I mean if that’s the value? Why buy? Why not just get teeth and take worldwide! 😆
  17. If it's only on Jehovah, not really. We have to be careful with the "omni/all/everything/nothing/forever" expressions, they very often allow exceptions
  18. zxqxz zebra's xray quiets xylem zoos. bless
  19. Wife, as in midwife is a healthcare professional assisting in child delivery.
  20. Gentleness doesn’t come naturally. Isaac’s moment in Gerar puts that tension in plain view. The wells were his. The provocation was deliberate. The loss was real. And still—he stepped aside. Late one evening, the house was quiet when a message arrived from a brother who believed you had handled a matter the wrong way. His memory of the conversation left out an important detail, and without it, the situation reflected poorly on you. You felt the urge to explain immediately, and your reply began forming on the screen—calm, accurate, corrective. Then you stopped. You realized that even a perfect explanation might deepen the strain rather than heal it. After a brief prayer, you deleted the response and sent a simple, peace-seeking reply instead. The misunderstanding remained, but so did a quiet confidence that Jehovah had seen the whole exchange. That kind of restraint doesn’t emerge from analysis or pattern-following. It can’t be assembled by observing outcomes or mimicking behavior. It is formed slowly—through research, prayer, and meditation—through yielding our thinking long enough for Jehovah’s to take root. So when a lesson like this settles in and refuses to stay superficial, it isn’t just understanding taking shape. It’s care being felt. And care like that always has a single source, Jehovah.
  21. Yesterday
  22. ******** this is a tough one because of the apostrophe. ************* "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," I said it once to me girl, and now me girls, me wife.
  23. TY — Beautiful. Hubble’s stunning images have been nothing short of mind-blowing from the very beginning. I recognize some of them from over the years—a few of my faves are Year 16 - Crab Nebula; Year 17 - V838 Monocerotis; Year 31 - Caldwell 69: Butterfly Nebula; and Year 34 - HP Tau, a glittering cosmic ‘geode.’ Thanks for the memories and this awesome confirmation of our creator’s boundless dynamic energy and unfathomable design. Exquisite🙏🏻
  24. Monday, December 22 A slave of the Lord does not need to fight, but needs to be gentle toward all.—2 Tim. 2:24. The Bible contains many accounts that highlight the value of mildness. Take the example of Isaac. When he settled in the Philistine territory of Gerar, his envious neighbors stopped up wells that his father’s servants had dug. Instead of fighting for his rights, Isaac moved his household farther away and dug other wells. (Gen. 26:12-18) But the Philistines claimed that the water in this location was also theirs. Despite this, Isaac acted peacefully. (Gen. 26:19-25) What helped him to remain mild even when others seemed determined to provoke him? He surely observed the example of his parents, learning much from the peaceful ways of Abraham and “the quiet and mild spirit” of Sarah.—1 Pet. 3:4-6;Gen. 21:22-34. w23.09 15 ¶4
  25. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! is what Mary Poppins sang followed by "even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious".
  26. I just got back from travelling with family. I think I’d be scared to travel by myself. Not sure why, just haven’t done it I guess. Central America is beautiful.

    • 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.”

      Found this note I wrote myself. 
      Jehovah promises freedom to those who love him. He promises to catch our tears in his skin bottle. He has a high regard and love for us and is willing to reach out willingly to those who reach out to him. True freedom is bounded by God’s law, which allows full expression of the individual in a proper, upbuilding, and beneficial way, and which recognizes the rights of others, contributing to happiness for all. Therefore stand fast, and do not let yourselves be confined again in a yoke of slavery.

      When I remember this video "Walk by faith not by sight" it always reminds me important of marrying a spiritual brother or sister, someone that loves Jehovah wholeheartedly, who value spiritual things and he or she is always ready to make a sacrifice for Jehovah even when it's hard for them.. Someone who can Encourage you, strengthen you or give you reasons to trust Jehovah and continue obeying him when there seems to be no hope. Not who can discourage you or even make life difficult for you in terms of obeying Jehovah. Not someone who only sees value in money or material things.
      You can't be weak and still marry a weak Person but if you are spiritually strong and marry someone spiritually strong too then, it's a double blessing

      Time
       
      TIMEKEEPER
       
      Imagine a soccer game (or other sport) in which the score is tied. There are only a few seconds left and the best player has the ball. He starts running, aiming to make the goal. But all of the sudden he stops and asks: 'how much time we have left?' Wouldn't that be atrociously stupid? Time is running out, and he will miss the chance of winning the game! Something similar happens today. In this time of the end, it is not our job to ask how much time is left. (Acts 1:7) Time is running out! Jehovah is the timekeeper, he knows how much time is left. Our job is to run, run, run for our lives, scoring the winning goal by serving Jehovah wholeheartedly.

      Temptations
       
      FAST-FORWARD
       
      If you are ever tempted to scheme and commit a sin, just try to do this: fast forward your life and visualize the consequences of it. You committed the sin... now, how did it change your world? Are you happy or do you regret it? Are you close to your family and friends? Do you have true friends alongside you? Do you have a bad marriage? Are you sick with a disease you could have avoided? Are you disfellowshipped? Did Armageddon catch you out of the congregation? If you play fast forward to your life and you see where you could end if you compromise your faith, it will certainly help you to flee from sin.
