  1. Past hour
  2. GLOBAL DEBT that may initiate the U.N. to tax religious organizations. 2020: Global debt surged dramatically due to pandemic support, reaching around $226 trillion (IMF) or 331% of GDP (IIF) by Q1, a massive jump from late 2019. 2021: Continued increases pushed total global debt to a new record of over $303 trillion, notes the World Economic Forum. 2022: Debt slightly increased to about $305 trillion, according to Wikipedia. 2023: Global debt continued its upward trend, with the IMF's Global Debt Monitor 2024 showing shifts, including falling private debt in some areas. 2024: Debt crossed $318 trillion by year-end, driven by government borrowing, notes the Institute of International Finance (IIF). 2025 (to Q3): A fresh peak of nearly $346 trillion was reached, with over $26 trillion added, primarily from government borrowing in both mature and emerging markets, according to the IIF's Global Debt Monitor.
  3. At one point our mortgage rate was 15% in the late 1980's, and although the system is different now, which is why I agree with you that, if you can pay it off, its better to do so.
  4. I was married twice and am now a widow. For me, marriage will only be possible in the new system. I don't have more patient for it. I Corinthians 7:28 But even if you did marry, you would commit no sin. And if a virgin married, such a person would commit no sin. However, those who do will have tribulation in their flesh. But I am trying to spare you.
  5. Today
  6. If you have a fixed rate mortgage there won't be any variations. The question is would you be better off to keep paying the monthly mortgage and invest the money? Or, should you forget the investments and pay off the mortgage? Would the investments pay more than the interest? If the interest rate was close to the rate of return on investments, I would pay off the mortgage. (Mortgage is related to words like morgue and mortuary. Mortgage comes from French and means death grip.)
  7. “Reject evil jesting ever”, counsels Timothy.
  8. The Stanley Theater assembly hall in New Jersey is really beautiful 

  9. From my perspective, there are 2 eggs on the left, two on the right and two in the middle.
  10. Yes, I am married since 53 years but the more important to be realy happy is to put Jéhovah at the first place
  11. God has the physical strength to destroy them at will, but due to his promises that they will never die he will not be able to destroy them if they are unfaithful because that would make Him a liar. That means He is trusting them completely to never sin, because He would have no recourse if they did.
  12. I created this slide show using Google's Notebook LM which really helped me as a visual learner to understand this enlightened adjustment. https://drive.google.com/file/d/18l2UJI7qVWoSnoU_yBOpb3E6Ml5X5jLz/view?usp=drive_link
  13. That's the best thing to do. Jehovah will provides when you don't expect it. - Yes. - I was already happy. It just bring a different kind of happiness. - No one can answer this question in your behalf. Rejoice in Jehovah, he will bring you opportunities. Just make sure any potential mate LOVES JEHOVAH more than you
  14. Yesterday
  15. When people make plans, things often change. We forget. We get tired. We run out of time or strength. But Jehovah is different. When He decides something, nothing can stop Him from carrying it out. (Numbers 23:19) Jehovah sent Jesus to teach about the Kingdom and to give his life so humans could be saved from sin and death. That was not a random idea. It was part of a plan Jehovah had already decided on. And just as He promised, He followed through. (Acts 2:23) Imagine a teacher who promises the class a safe field trip. The teacher plans the route, brings permission slips, checks the weather, and stays with the students the whole time. The trip happens because the teacher is prepared and dependable. Jehovah is far more dependable than any human. When He promises a peaceful future and a paradise earth, He has already planned every step. (Revelation 21:3, 4) That means we don’t have to be afraid about the future. Even when life feels confusing or unfair, Jehovah has not forgotten His purpose. He is still moving everything toward a good ending.
  16. Tuesday, December 23 I have purposed it, and I will also carry it out.—Isa. 46:11. Jehovah lovingly sent his firstborn Son to the earth to teach people about the Kingdom and to give his life to ransom us from sin and death. Then Jesus was resurrected back to heaven to rule as King of God’s Kingdom. The main theme of the Bible is that Jehovah’s name will be vindicated as he fulfills his purpose for the earth by means of his Kingdom under Christ. Jehovah’s purpose cannot be changed. He has guaranteed that he will carry it out with success. (Isa. 46:10, ftn.; Heb. 6:17, 18) In time, the earth will be transformed into a paradise where perfect, righteous descendants of Adam and Eve will “enjoy life forever.” (Ps. 22:26) More than that, Jehovah has an even broader purpose in mind. His ultimate purpose is to unite all his intelligent creatures in heaven and on earth. Then all those living will loyally submit to him as their Sovereign. (Eph. 1:8-11) Are you not amazed at the beautiful way that Jehovah accomplishes his purpose? w23.10 20 ¶7-8
  17. Plato never was married and never used the word platonic to describe a non sexual friendship. Ben Jonson's phrase "platonick Love" is a translation of the Latin phrase "amor Platonicus", usually credited to the Renaissance philosopher Marsilio Ficino. (15th century)
  18. I'll take a few freeze dried for the tribulation. Thanks in advance. 🙃
  19. WHICH Which hamburger is cool hunger? REJECT
  20. Using the word transparent is not the same as truthful and candid. It means see-thru like saran wrap and looking at things on the other side. Words can and do change over time, but deliberate misuse is never advisable.
  21. To view the entire Videos WITH the New World Translation goto to my personal Webpage using these links: Isaiah Chapter 11 - https://www.bibliaprints.com/bible/isaiah/chapter-11/ Isaiah Chapter 12 - https://www.bibliaprints.com/bible/isaiah/chapter-12/ Isaiah Chapter 13 - https://www.bibliaprints.com/bible/isaiah/chapter-13/
  22. I research the verse first. Then I write a detailed prompt (about 100 words) describing exactly what I want. After that, I use several subscribed AI tools to generate the image, and then I post-edit—either with AI or by hand—until it’s 100% correct. There are so many sloppy, low-effort AI images out there. Honestly, it’s no surprise people end up hating AI.
  23. Hello friends! My name is Dayja, I’m a 28 year old sister, I’ve been baptized for 6 years. I have always desired to have a mate, but I have not had success with finding one. I’ve actually never had a relationship or dated seriously. It has been somewhat discouraging, because I have felt overlooked, while some sisters are able to get attention from brothers more easily. My main concern at this time, is to focus on my spiritually and do more for Jehovah, as well as adopt qualities that would make a better wife, as well as work on my physical appearance. However, the desire for mate is still strong and sometimes I worry if I will ever find true love, but I determined to wait on Jehovah. Which brings me to my question for those who are married who have felt like me, if you were to go back, would you get married again? Did married life make you happier? Or would it be better for me to wait until the new system to get married?

    • 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.
