    It's been sunny and hot these past few days. Very summery. I love it. Was outside in the humidity last night at 9 pm watching fireflies in the yard. Need to find a body of water to go swimming in soon.

    It makes a lot of sense, I can only imagine what they went through during that wicked regime.

    It archives the government persecution of this Witness family, including several executions, and now the same military that killed them is holding the records hostage. It's a double insult. The records were always intended to be given to the Society and that's where they should go.

    After the resurrection so the original people can recreate their roles?

    It's very significant because it relates to our history, and it provides evidence of JWs exceptional steadfastness in the face of fierce opposition. Moreover, it contains over 1,000 pieces. It is a gross injustice to put such a treasure in a military museum, where it only collect dust (only 6 pieces are shown out of 1000). "When she was 26 years old, Annemarie began meticulously compiling the archive of materials related to Jehovah’s Witnesses during the Holocaust. She preserved it, at times even at the risk of her life, for over 65 years until her death in 2005. What she preserved for posterity, and especially for her fellow believers, has been appreciated internationally as a historical treasure." "Among the notable documents in the archive is a farewell letter from Annemarie’s brother, Wilhelm, who wrote his last words on April 26, 1940. As one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, he refused to perform military service. For his conscientious objection, the Nazis sentenced him to death." "The archive brings to life the family’s exceptional example of faith. The materials vividly illustrate how faith can impart strength in the face of severe persecution and the threat of death. This central theme of the archive can only be fully appreciated within the museums of Jehovah’s Witnesses." https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/germany/Jehovahs-Witnesses-Launch-New-Legal-Case-in-Germany-Over-Annemarie-Kusserows-Archive/

    Well, the Slave said their intention is to finish the Jesus drama even if it's in the new system. So, there is that...

    In various ways: - the amount of assets is huge - persecution is part of our cultural identity and heritage. So we ourselves want to act as a curator of those artifacts, and not depend on worldy entities to look after them for us.

    I'm okay with watching the end of Jesus drama in Paradise
  20. LeolaRootStew
    I can't decide which is worse: having the GT before we finish the Jesus drama or finishing the Jesus drama before we can start the GT.

    Not sure where to post this question....but what are some things you all pack for you convention lunches?

    Spiritual maturity is not measured by how many rules we cam memorize, but by how rather how we apply Bible principles, train our conscience, and consider the effect our choices have on others.
  24. foghorn
    Yes - that will work. And just so you know, if they BOTH served your congregation, you would do exactly the same thing. And you could even add their wives in the same way as well. My understanding is that the 'CO' connection is similar to what a regular publisher would see on the app - no private or confidential information. Just schedules and territories.
  25. foghorn
    I also created one to schedule several families providing another family transportation to meetings. The scheduled items show up in several places 1. Bottom of Schedules page: entire schedule shows up here (if i check the "Show on NWP box"). All the items in the list show up here, even the expired ones. If I uncheck the box, entire schedule disappears 2. In the "Upcoming.." box on top right of main page: Just the current items. 3. In the "Duties" page. All current and future items show up here. Expired items do not. I'm giving it a little time to see if this is a feature worth using...

    Thursday, July 2 Concerning the eating of food offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world.—1 Cor. 8:4. Immature Christians often struggle when faced with situations that call for reasoning on Bible principles and applying them. If no Bible law exists, some might feel that they can do whatever they want. Others might ask for a rule when no rule is required. For instance, Christians in Corinth apparently asked the apostle Paul for a rule about whether they could eat food that had been offered to an idol. Rather than tell them what to do, Paul acknowledged the role of the conscience and the fact that each person has a “right to choose.” He reasoned on principles that would allow each individual to be at peace with his conscience while not stumbling others. (1 Cor. 8:7-9) Paul was thus helping the Corinthians to grow up spiritually so that they could use their own powers of discernment instead of depending on someone else or simply looking for rules. w24.04 5 ¶14

    This has happened on 2 different phones When ever I try to play music the sound is very garbled. When I watch the dramas the voices are clear but when the music plays it is garbled. Has anyone had this happen and was there a way to fix it?

    In this case they shared it in the “What’s New” section, but many other recent cases (like Italy) are not there at all 😢 to make it worse, there’s no RSS feed for the Global Communications section

    Here are my newest songs. The other day I went to the drive-thru at McDonalds near the job I had just finished to grab some lunch. The line was not moving. I sat there waiting. I was in the right-hand lane just after the split. There was a car behind me. The girl came on the box a couple times to tell me it would still "a minute or two" ... they had to reboot the computer. After about 10 minutes, I checked mu mirrors and saw I could back up and leave the lane since the car behind me was not right on my bumper. So, that's what I did. On my way home, I pass another McDonalds, so I stopped there and found the line was quite long - although it was moving. This was the inspiration for this song about going to the drive-thru at McDonalds. A brother I Zoom Chat with regularly who lives in Vermont (he is a member of this forum) has some black raspberries that grow wild behind his house. He picks them and gets enough that he can freeze some for use during the cold, snowy winter. That prompted my next song. After being inspired by this brother, I was inspired by my close relationship with my own fleshly brother, also a JW. We have lived on the same property we grew up on most of our lives. We used to work secularly together at various times and are friends as well as brothers. When we can, we like to go fishing together just to relax. That is the inspiration for the third song in this group.

      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 think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)
