  2. James Webb Space Telescope watches our Milky Way galaxy's monster black hole fire out a flare By Robert Lea published 9 hours ago 29 Dec 2025 "In order to get such high sensitivity in the mid-infrared, one needs to go to space, as the atmosphere severely messes up ground-based observations at this wavelength." Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe flares from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, in a new light. The new modelling of these observations could help scientists get to the bottom of how black holes launch these flares, as well as reveal the role magnetic fields play in sculpting matter around these cosmic titans... "At the same time," von Fellenberg continued, "the result goes further." For the first time, he explained, the team was able to observe the source at four different wavelengths simultaneously with a single instrument. This allowed them to measure what's known as the mid-infrared spectral index.

  3. High school students may have learned that Tutankaman was a worshipper of Aman. Part true, for the time of his death, but even though he was very young, he had previously worshipped the Aten, and his cartuchesaid, Tutankaten.

  5. Hey! I resemble that remark!!
  6. I really hate when I see an old person and then realize we went to high school together.

  8. Saturday, November 29 With what will I repay Jehovah for all the good he has done for me?—Ps. 116:12. During the past five years, more than a million people have been baptized as Jehovah’s Witnesses. When you dedicate yourself to Jehovah, you choose to become a disciple of Jesus Christ and make the doing of God’s will the most important thing in your life. What will Christian dedication require of you? Jesus said: “If anyone wants to come after me, let him disown himself.” (Matt. 16:24) The Greek phrase translated “let him disown himself” can also be rendered “he must say no to himself.” As a dedicated servant of Jehovah, you will need to say no to anything that conflicts with his will. (2 Cor. 5:14, 15) That includes saying no to “the works of the flesh,” such as sexual immorality. (Gal. 5:19-21; 1 Cor. 6:18) Will such restrictions make your life difficult? Not if you love Jehovah and are convinced that his laws are for your own good.—Ps. 119:97; Isa. 48:17, 18. w24.03 2 ¶1; 3 ¶4
  9. From JW.org: Over 257 of Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide are imprisoned for their faith as of November 2025. Russia: Currently, at least 156 of Jehovah’s Witnesses are either being held in pretrial detention, serving sentences of forced labor, or serving prison terms. I was thinking about the brothers and sisters in Russia who are being convicted, on what seems an almost weekly basis, but then I remembered the total number mentioned above, and it helped me put things in perspective. Let me first say, that even one brother or sister being arrested for their faith, is one too many. However, if I remember correctly, the total number of publishers in Russia at the beginning of the ban in 2017 was approximately 175,000. Statistically, the 156 who are presently being held in pretrial detention, serving sentences of forced labor, or serving prison terms, as mentioned above, is a rather small percentage when you think about it. In other words, if my math is correct, 156 is less than 1/8 of 1% of 175,000. That means that more than 99% of our brothers and sisters have either evaded arrest while continuing to live in Russia or have fled from Russia to avoid arrest. So, once again, while even one arrest is one too many, and is a travesty of justice, I think it's encouraging to see the big picture as we continue to pray for all 156 of our brothers and sisters who are suffering this injustice and proving Satan a liar by their endurance.
  10. When the Titanic had an accident at sea, reports went out that there were NO casualties. Even newspapers like the Boston Globe praised this mistaken conclusion. Halifax prepared a rescue ship for the survivors and planned a parade. Soon they found out this would become a death ship. Many Titanic bodies are buried there, in Canada.
  11. Does that verse describe only 1 fulfillment or does it describe a pattern of ongoing fulfillment?
  12. The “end“ or the “time of the end” starts on verse 40. that verse 27 was fullfilled decades ago
  13. Not the only thread on here touching on linguistics, so I thought I'd use one I found on the syllable rob (Not the name or the podcaster). I came across 'rob" meaning fabric, cloth, or material. This may have been instrumental to the forming of wardrobe, bath robe and chiffarobe.

    • 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.”

      Why the trinity cannot be true:
       
      Since God is a completely perfect being, there cannot be a second person who is God, for they would have to differ in some way, and to differ from complete perfection is to be less than perfect and not be God.

      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....

      If you've received a shepherding call & things got better, please let the shepherds who shepherded you know.  It makes our day!!!  

      I got to hear about the immediate improvement after our last shepherding call with a sister who has an unbelieving husband.  Prayers answered!!
