    Do you guys think Marseille is in really high demand? I have Denver, Marseille, Spain, Peru, and the UK, but I’m not sure which one is the least likely option.

    I tried it and only wanted it on the lock screen. It randomly takes over the other screens. I uninstalled it and it still is there and takes over all the other screens. How do I get rid of it?

    A long time ago I saw some rings that also functioned as watches. I wear a watch and I like it very much too. There are watches at all price points. There are rings at all price points. Usually a man wears a gold or silver ring. Although there are rings that are costume jewelry. I don't remember seeing men wearing costume jewelry rings. Women wear costume jewelry rings. But men want gold, silver, or gemstone rings. A ring of that type is synonymous with wealth. That's how it works, that's how it is. In my old job, men who weren't Christian wore rings, chains, and bracelets. It was a status symbol of wealth. Maybe that's where this blockage comes from.

    This information was once passed on to me by a circuit overseer.

    It's very good to know how things are done in other cultures. I've never seen a brother wearing a necklace. Some wear rings. Knowing how brothers think helps my mind better understand each person's individual decision. It's not a dispute about who is right. It's about information, knowledge, and respect for each other's customs and decisions.

    Some of the GB, and other brothers who are featured in videos and talks are seen wearing rings in addition to wedding rings. Personal choice. Maybe in your area, it is less accepted.

    Well, as has already been mentioned, there is no specific Bible principle involved here, except perhaps one related to the motivation behind the choice. Apart from that, there is nothing inherently wrong with a man using the object itself. It is a matter of personal decision, but that decision should also be considered in light of how the congregation where we serve views the matter. Let me share my own experience. I have always liked rings, but for many years I avoided wearing them because I knew my congregation would not view them favorably. Later, some elders moved to my congregation who wore rings themselves. This gradually made the congregation more accustomed to seeing appointed men wearing such ornaments. So, after some time, I felt comfortable wearing one myself. If we think about it, many small things we consider perfectly normal could technically be described as “showing off” or “drawing attention to ourselves.” Why continue wearing a nice watch when it is so much more practical to check the time on a smartphone? Why does a sister choose to wear earrings when she could simply go without them? Often, the answer is simple: we wear them because we like them. But, as with many other matters, we should take into account how the people around us view these things. And, as my own experience shows, that perspective can change when someone is willing to take the first step, especially when that first step comes from outside our congregation.

    We do? I didn't know there was such a thing. Do they all look the same? Are they bought and worn by the graduating brothers only. Are they given to them as a gift for graduating?

    I really loved this month’s program! Since the reminders are so important, I was able to pay attention to the details and to the time we are living in. It’s so important to have good spiritual health and a spiritual mindset, to stay very alert and aware of Satan’s schemes, and to be very careful with subtle information that may seem convincing but, in reality, does not come from Jehovah. It’s so important that we focus only on the Association’s official website and app in order to protect our spirituality and receive the right spiritual food. And yes, the great tribulation is coming, and it’s coming with full force! Many important reminders were given.

    Tuesday, September 8 Jehovah kept warning Israel and Judah through all his prophets.—2 Ki. 17:13. Jehovah often used his prophets to warn and correct his people. For example, God said through Jeremiah: “Return, O renegade Israel . . . I will not look down angrily on you, for I am loyal . . . I will not stay resentful forever. Only acknowledge your guilt, for you have rebelled against Jehovah.” (Jer. 3:12, 13) By means of Joel, Jehovah said: “Return to me with all your hearts.” (Joel 2:12, 13) He had Isaiah declare: “Make yourselves clean; remove your evil deeds from my sight; stop doing bad.” (Isa. 1:16-19) And by means of Ezekiel, Jehovah asked: “Do I take any pleasure at all in the death of a wicked person? . . . Do I not prefer that he turn away from his ways and keep living? I do not take any pleasure in the death of anyone, . . . so turn back and live.” (Ezek. 18:23, 32) Jehovah takes delight in seeing people repent because he wants them to keep living—forever! w24.08 9 ¶5-6

      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.”

      We may be quick to say that folkloric characters such as Zeus, Baal or Isis do not exist.
      But it's interesting that the Bible identifies them as demons, which do exist.
       
      For example, Psalm 106:37 and Deuteronomy 32:17 speak of the apostate Israelites sacrificing their children to the demons.
      The Hebrew word used here is לַשֵּֽׁדִים (lashedim). It originally refers to the shedu, the protective deities of the Akkadians.
      In the New Testament, the writers used the word δαιμόνια (daimonia). But where did they get this word? It was used by the Greeks for lesser divinities, intermediaties between mankind and the gods.
       
      Clearly, for the worshippers of Jehovah, idols were not merely inanimate objects. They may have been ascribed imaginary backstories, but there really was a real spiritual presence that influenced the daily lives of these heathens. And this influence was not benign contrary to what they believed, but harmful.
      So demons are the ones who throughout all history and all cultures been identified as immaterial beings. They have been revered and given mythological origins, or they have been feared and mistaken for the ghosts of the deseased. Demons enjoy deceiving and torturing mankind.
       
      But the Holy Bible contains passages about seeking refuge in God when facing evil:
      James 4:7 — “Oppose the Devil, and he will flee from you.”
