I hope we see this....

“Also, at 82, I do not "just run around" like 60 years ago. I put less than 3,000 miles a year on it now.” Quoted from James. 👋 You and I are about the same age. I’ll turn 83 in November. My husband has ordered a vehicle for me. It’s a Toyota Crown Signia(?) white with a black top. It’s a hybrid, so it should average out at 38 miles per gallon. It looks like my trips to the kingdom hall, (round-trip around 50 miles) might be almost free. And for the most part, that’s why I put mileage on my rig. We bought it on the Internet from a dealer three hours away, inland. And it was complicated. He’s changing it from low profile wheels to normal normal profile wheels. We have to clear things with the Tribe., (we pay no sales tax) and last, but not least WeatherTech mats for front and back. Never mind the financing. You’ll be able to put almost half of it down because of the sale of the Subaru. Now, my traveling partner, Paula, will probably be putting the most miles on it because she drives us to the convention and the assembly. Now we get to give her rig a break. You cannot imagine how stressful this has been for me. Well, not really. When this whole thing started, I started praying to Jehovah because I can get anxiety attacks, lose sleep, have a hard time following a decent train of thought. You get the picture. Pretty much will make a mess of me. And I noticed that my anxiety was pretty much not there. And I’m so grateful. This is in spite of the fact I have to have surgery on an esophageal hernia come Monday. Never mind I have a small part in the assembly on 18 October. That’s 20 days after my surgery. And two weeks of that 20 days will be liquid only diet. I shall be svelt. If I’m able to walk.😕 I think this is the last huge event in my life, I hope, until the Memorial next year

Then you hear from the back of the room. "Don't worry, here, we will give you all of our power and authority"

Wow, we switched from the UN topic to smart TVs, I love you guys 😄

Hi David, Nice topic about Jehovah's "Fungi" creation And your title made me think of the following: We have several hot topics currently about the recent adjustment concerning "blood" and conscience. I dont want to start another discussion about this, but I just wanted to share a simple thought. I hope you like this. Often when we think of Jehovah's marvelous creations, we tend to think of the large -- the blue whale, Jupiter, Milky Way Galaxy, etc. But as you nicely expressed in your post, there are also very tiny, incredible "fractions" of Creation. While this sacred fluid inside all of us is vital for life and Jehovah taught us that this precious red fluid represents life, we must also appreciate and value the special designed "fractions" that composes blood. We could easily get so caught up in debating issues concerning blood, the 4 components, the small "fractions", transfusions, medical procedures, etc, etc, etc, that we might forget to meditate on the incredible design and value that each component and every tiny fraction serves to make our bodies perform as super efficient -- organic machines! This post was made to support this good topic about the marvelous "fractions" of Jehovah's creation found all over the universe, on Earth, and deep inside our human body! Just looking at these images above makes me think of David's words (Psalm 139:14)  I praise you because in an awe-inspiring way I am wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful... Your eyes even saw me as an embryo; All its parts (including all tiny fractions) were written in your book

You are only 54 lbs from being a ton! Come on! You can do it!!!

Put the chocolate down, then get back on the scale.

It's a smart move.

I watched the UN press briefing from yesterday. The litany of world issues he listed off was incredible but not even everything going on. Right before he left he said, see everyone Friday if we are all still standing. I was like woah….they are worried. He would probably deny he thinks anything catastrophic will happen but they also know all it takes is one nuclear event to kick off the firestorm.

Put on your glasses Dusty, its 194.6 🤣

It does feel very Babylonish right now, doesn’t it?

Friday, September 25 My strong rock, my refuge, is God.—Ps. 62:7. We make Jehovah our Rock when we rely fully on him. We trust that by obeying him even during difficult times, we will benefit. (Isa. 48:17, 18) As we experience his support, our confidence in him will grow. We will then be better prepared to face trials that only Jehovah can get us through. Similar to a massive rock, Jehovah is firm and stable. He is consistent in his personality and unshakable in his purpose. (Mal. 3:6) When faced with the rebellion in Eden, Jehovah did not waver. As the apostle Paul wrote, Jehovah “cannot deny himself.” (2 Tim. 2:13) This means that no matter what happens or what others do, Jehovah will never deviate from his qualities, his purpose, or his standards. With confidence in our stable God, we can look to him for salvation and for help to cope during turbulent times.—Ps. 62:6, 7. w24.0627-28 ¶7-8

Thursday, September 24 Exult and be joyful.—Isa. 65:18. Isaiah reveals why we have every reason to “exult and be joyful” in the spiritual paradise. This environment is a creation of Jehovah. (Isa. 65:18, 19) No wonder he is using us to direct people away from the spiritually parched organizations of this old world and into our beautiful spiritual environment! We are excited about the blessings we enjoy because of being in the truth, and we are moved to tell others about them. (Jer. 31:12) We are also grateful for and excited about the hope we have as residents of the spiritual paradise. The Bible promises that we will “build houses and live in them [and] plant vineyards and eat their fruitage.” We will “not toil for nothing” because we will be “blessed by Jehovah.” He promises us a secure, satisfying life with a real purpose. He knows each one’s needs and “[will] satisfy the desire of every living thing.”—Isa. 65:20-24; Ps. 145:16. w24.04 22-23 ¶11-12

I went on a weighing scale to see how much I weigh. I thought I weigh around 200 pounds. I was way off. The scale show that I weigh 1,946 LBS. I guess I'm eating to much chocolate. The life I go through

I just love the way that's serving Jehovah transforms us into beautiful people. I mean that figuratively of course. But in the case that I want to talk about at the moment it's a literal meaning. A rather rough looking woman started studying with a sister shortly after I arrived here at my new kingdom hall, her hair was not only unkept but was choppy looking. Her skin was deeply wrinkled and kind of gray and her teeth looked funny. But she was studying faithfully and was coming to every meeting. She got baptized at our last circuit assembly which was oh I don't know four or five months ago, you should see her now. Her hair has grown out and is styled not in a fancy way but in a more organized delicate fashion. Her face has lost that ashen look and someone has helped her to apply a delicate amount of makeup. Her clothing now is beautiful, clean and modest. Tonight at the meeting I just marveled at the complete transformation of this woman since getting baptized. This is what serving jehovah does for us, we just look different. Better. Away from the hate of the world. The stress that satan system puts on us and the things this world says is normal will break a person down. She no longer has those influences but has us as her new family. And she's beautiful.

Scientists have identified more than 200,000 species of fungi. That sounds like a lot. Until you realize that they estimate there may actually be around 2.5 million species. That means we may still know very little about most of them. And, we are not talking about some distant planet. These are here. In the soil. On trees. Under leaves. Inside plants. Growing in places we walk past every day without ever realizing they are there. Thousands of new fungal species are still being identified. I find that amazing! We sometimes speak as though mankind has explored the earth. We’ve named things. Classified them. Studied them. Written books about them. And yet there may be more than 2 million species of fungi alone that we have not even identified. Fungi. One small part of creation. It makes me wonder how much of Jehovah’s workmanship is still around us that no human being has ever studied, photographed, named, or perhaps even noticed. The more we discover, the more we seem to discover how little we know. What an extraordinary reminder of the depth of Jehovah’s creation. Ps 104:24

We are getting more mainstream news about a powerful el niño this and next year, citing the heat could be deadly to many people. Thailand Branch sent an announcement for all congregations to prepare in advance for the effects of el niño bringing possible droughts to Thailand in December 2026 - January 2027, citing Awake! No. 5 2017, pages 3–9 for us to review. Stay safe, everyone
