  1. A powerful way to illustrate the truth of the phrase, "the times, they are a changing".

  2. If you can Watch that video without choking up ... you're dead Inside...lol Seriously, when the little sister is speaking that lost her entire family except her brother, I started to bawl like a baby. The faith of these brothers and sisters is just so moving. It's terrible but wonderful because it shows our brotherhood. May Jehovah help us all during these terrible last days!!

  3. I have a younger brother that got disfellowshipped when he was 19. 25 years later he found himself sitting in prison and thinking about Jehovah for the first time in a long time. I never really held out any hope that he would ever come back to the truth because when he left it, it never seemed that the truth had gotten into his heart - he never talked about it. I thought Satan would make a turn around before my brother would. The actual story of how he came back to Jehovah is truly miraculous! (the things Jehovah did for him while he was in prison!) As soon as he got out, he went straight to my older sisters' house (she is married to an elder) and asked for a Watchtower for the Sunday meeting (she didn't even recognize him because none of us had any contact with him for 25 years). He got reinstated 3 months later and has even brought someone else into the truth! He is doing fantastic and Jehovah has blessed him immensely and I feel like I have already literally experienced the resurrection of a loved one! Just goes to show that you can never discount Jehovah in any equasion! Jehovah knows when those who have left him are fully ready to come back! I am so grateful that Jehovah didn't give up on my brother like I did.

  4. I can tell you this. I have never seen such a well monitored and spiritually protective forum for Jehovah's Witnesses as JW Talk. Most apostates and opposers would be too lazy or clueless to know, or find, the answers given to prove genuine credibility. And even if they did somehow make it past that, there are all the diligent moderators and seasoned members here to keep an eye on things. I was impressed, and knew I wanted to be a part of this. Thanks for having me.

  5. A sister asked me if I was planning to see the movie "Son of God" http://www.sonofgodmovie.com/home.html. Did any of you seen it or are you going to see it, and why? I'm not sure I want my brain to experience a 'sensory overload' of incorrect information that I will retain. What about you?

  6. I need a picture of Moses with his stone tablets, the tablets of paper that we used in school, and those newfangled electronic tablets that are all the rage, lol. Times sure do change, or maybe we're all just getting old.

  7. Oh that's just the silliest thing I have ever read... did you notice the men can wear their underpants - does that mean they don't need "the touch of christ"? Just another of Satan's ministers giving the demons a giggle. Nothing new Under the sun I suppose, ancient pagans had temple prositutes that were viewed as having sex for their God so I guess this is a step up, although who knows what the "pastor" will suggest next. It would be hilarious if not for the tragedy that no doubt some of these poor women and girls will obey this charletan.

    Thai food?

    Someone say noodles?? I bought Yakisoba Noodle, first time buying. I used the noodle with beef. I had shanks, braised, 2 of them, instead of doing the asian thing I poured my home canned beef broth in, onion, carrot, garlic and red pepper. Simmered it for a couple hours, took the meat out. When the broth was done I used the emersion blender to make the veggie broth into a gravy-like thingy. And added the sliced meat and noodle and man oh man was it ever good. The noodle tastes so different. Oh so good. Would have been better with mushrooms and edimame. Next time.

    My husband is looking for a number he has. Amazon will back it up. You just need to get to the right person. And, before you do anything, find out if you need a return reference number. This can make a big difference in the amount you get back. When, and if all else fails, threaten to dispute it with the credit card that you use to back up Amazon. They really don't like that. At all. And credit cards are pretty good in supporting you. But Amazon will give you the support you need. It can be a tedious process. But just wade through it. With Amazon, I'd ask for a supervisor. He can't find the number. Sorry.

  14. Wt 2012 2/15 DO NOT GIVE UP! 17 If you are a faithful Christian living in a religiously divided household, do not give up. Remember that “Jehovah will not desert his people for the sake of his great name.” (1 Sam. 12:22) He is with you as long as you cling to him. (Read 2 Chronicles 15:2.) So “take exquisite delight in Jehovah.” Indeed, “roll upon Jehovah your way, and rely upon him.” (Ps. 37:4, 5) “Persevere in prayer,” and have faith that our loving heavenly Father can help you to endure hardships of all kinds.—Rom. 12:12. 18 Petition Jehovah for his holy spirit to help you promote peace in the home. (Heb. 12:14) Yes, it is possible to foster peaceful conditions that may eventually touch the heart of unbelieving family members. You will experience happiness and peace of heart and mind as you “do all things for God’s glory.” (1 Cor. 10:31) In these endeavors, how heartening it is to know that you have the loving support of your brothers and sisters in the Christian congregation!

    I wish I knew the answers to these questions, sister. I cannot imagine that one would be able to download the entire wol, though. On iPad you can check the storage used for each app you have, so if you add a language at a certain depth and compare the before and after figures, that might help, but beyond that, I don't know. I'm no expert in these matters, just someone who plays around with things!

    Great addition, Deborah! I know nothing of android apps, so this helps round out the help on this thread. Jasmin, I went about 3 or 4 links deep and about 100 to 200 pages, depending on the language . In English I downloaded more pages. I have 10 languages with material downloaded and it is taking about 9gig! That's quite a lot, so I'm being circumspect now. I try to keep in mind that I am only giving a quick demonstration of the site to encourage the h/h to use the site for themselves, not going into a study with them. Elizabeth, the video of it is on meekspace already. Look under the videos section for "How to use JW.org in the ministry...." The brothers have made some exceptional instructional videos.

    The android AP OFFLINE BROWSER Pro costs $2.50 Its install is very different than the IPAD version but it fairly easy to install. When the app opens you click the " + " sign at the bottom of the screen and the edit screen opens. From the edit screen- on the LINK line you type in the web address ( jw.org or if a foreign language such as French, type jw.org/fr/ Then select the options you desire. Make sure you set the MAX Depth level for links. The HELP function explains what each option means. Once you have selected your options and click OK and DOWNLOAD. it works really well.

  20. Friday, March 7 Have you shown yourself discouraged in the day of distress? Your power will bescanty.—Prov. 24:10. In today’s world so full of disasters, challenges, and pressures, many feel overwhelmed. Even some Christians have felt that way. Lani, who was enjoying the full-time service in Australia, says that when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, it was devastating and struck like a bolt of lightning. She says, “The treatments made me very ill, and I was left with no self-esteem.” On top of everything else, she had to care for her husband, who had undergone spinal surgery. If we find ourselves in such a situation, what can we do? We do well to remember that Satan wants to use the tribulations we suffer to undermine our faith. However, we must not allow him to sap our joy in this way. Meditating on Biblical examples of servants of God who faced life’s trials with courage will help us to muster up courage in the face of any adversities that we may encounter.w12 10/15 1:8, 9

  23. I'd love to hear it Shali. Not sure why you wouldn't be able to post a real example of Jehovah's help in action personally. I wish more people would share their stories. It is encouraging. Even hardships are real and we all face them in various forms, so it makes me feel more like a part of an organization. We call this the "Truth", so I love hearing real talk about how things go for people in this struggle.

  24. No individual nation can tackle current events, especially dispute over Ukraine....and Syria, Israel and Palestine... List goes on and on . Will the nations give more power to the UN ? Well we must wait and see .... The ten horns that you saw mean ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they do receive authority as kings for one hour with the wild beast. Revelation chapter 11. We must be very alert and not distracted by this system , things change amazingly quickly these days .... Agape

    So, I saw Anthony Hopkins in the trailer and thought to myself, "who could he possibly be playing? Could it be?" IMDB confirmed: Methuselah. I thought that was a nice touch, though I've always wondered if Methuselah happened to die in the year of the flood or if he died in the flood. Only one way to find out for sure; but you better believe that if I'm there, I'm gonna ask.

  27. I want to say that in spite of all the joking around about men, I dearly love my Bill. He is everything a man should be and more. I feel so blessed that he came into my life and showed me what a loving husband can be, otherwise I would still probably very leery of men.

  29. Whatever is happening between the East and West at the moment surely is significant, time will tell I guess. Could this be the KOTN raising it's head or a confrontation that will then result in peace and security, everything large event that happens seems to be significant and I'm sure that everyone is paying close attention.

  30. Re Getting excited. For me the whole idea is that, just as with a womans labour pains the signs just keep getting stronger and stronger and the interval between incidents gets closer and closer until even those that don't have bible knowledge are aware that "SOMEthing" is immenent and that the system cannot possibly continue. We probably won't know the identity of the King of the North during the attack of Magog until it's happening but the "shoving" between East and West, something I for one thought had settled down after the collapse of the USSR, has been shown this week to be just as stronge but covert. The superpowers are veying for power and energy resources and this will no doubt go on until the end... I enjoy getting excited, keeps me Young!

  31. For some reason I am unable to tolerate the lies or fallacies. So watching movies on the Bible just get me irritated with the world and what they believe in. I would rather read what you all got out of it and that satisfies my curiosity of the movie. So thanks for the discussion.

  32. I love Nemo. I just pull it out and watch it again when I want to relax, and enjoy a movie without worrying out what may be next. Just a classical favorite of mine.

  33. Me too, actually! I don't think I'll ever grow out of watching animation, especially Disney films... but fortunately I'm not the only one, there's actually quite a few older people out there who love animated movies and shows, including animators themselves. Besides, in the old days of theatrical shorts like Looney Toons, Tom & Jerry and Betty Boop, they were created for adults and not only kids And here's a favorite Walt Disney quote of mine: "You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway." You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.Read more at http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/w/walt_disney.html#l2RQkaRhqiQ1fHv0.99 You're dead if you aim only for kids.

I actually had a weird dream about it a week or so ago... it involved the word "ship". Don't ask. I was hoping to see it with my mom soon when we have our "girl day".
