  1. There are some good bible references used by these ladies who are making pocket letter for informal witnessing - might be helpful? They use a special format for Muslims
  2. . . . . a face like a chewed toffee, coz pineapple does that to me!! 🤪
  3. Taken from the European Patent Office web site: - “Eventually, though, it may be possible for some aircraft to travel around the world without any kind of traditional engine power. That's the goal of Solar Impulse, a long-range solar-powered flight project developed by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. The project team has created an aircraft with the same wingspan as an Airbus A340 airliner that uses the sun to charge lithium polymer batteries via 11 628 photovoltaic cells on the upper wing surface. The batteries power a 10 hp motor and a twin-bladed propeller. Excess energy is stored during the day so that the plane can also fly at night. The aircraft has already completed extensive test flights in Europe and the USA lasting up to 26 hours, and a round-the-world test flight is planned for next year.”
  4. I am sure that our wonderful New Government will approve amazingly clean and efficient new modes of transport, in order that we all get to “widen out” no matter where we are in the New World! Our perfected brains will be needed to apply ourselves to the challenge of inventing them. Rumour has it that some forms of “clean” transport have already been invented but shelved because there is little profit to be made from them. (Look forward to meeting you too! 🙂 . . . and everyone else here. Lets 🙏🏻we make it!)
  5. That was what Nimrod & Co. did WITHOUT Jehovah’s seal of approval. . . . so I guess you are all right, there will be no limits, except those put in place by the New Government. I guess laws & restrictions will have to apply in order to ensure we don’t ruin the planet and endanger God’s plans a second time - hence the new scrolls. ( I may concede to upgrade from feet, to a solar powered bicycle, based on this knowledge! 🤣🤣)
  6. Dunno!! Sorta figured that’s what Jehovah gave us feet for, I guess! 🤪
  7. Me too, if that were possible! But given that travelling to meet them on foot might take years. . . . and that they are gonna be in huge demand by everyone. . . . maybe just a little holographic snippet in the meantime, hey. . . .?! 😆
  8. Why travel at all? Why not simulate it with a good old Star Treck Holodeck “recreational room” where we get to take a break from the mundane and interact with holographs of all the resurrected prophets of old and other biblical characters. . . . In any country or time period of the world. . . . . . . well, its a bit “out of this world” but then . . . with God, all things are possible!
  9. My secret is out - I am a cat-lover! Having two American Ragdoll boys in our family, I am rather partial to all things “cat”. . . . . . so my recommendations are. . . .
  10. Toast and butter every time! The perfect marriage mates! ( . . . with a cup of tea, like Sue!) But then there’s butter and butter. . . . spreadable Lurpack for me! 🍞👌
  11. It truely is a wonderful scripture! When we think of all the odds that are stacked against us. . . Inherent sin from Adam & Eve means that there is a constant struggle inside of us between “IT” and our created nature, which was in God’s image. Then of course, we are born into Satan’s world - his territory - his rules, all of which conspire to overwhelm our God given conscience from the start. In many instances, our families, neighbours, aquaintances, workmates, authorities. . . can all be pawns in Satan’s hand to be used against us. We are not even Jehovah’s first choice of people, as were the Israelites - just a grafted on wild branch! Satan has so many weapons at his disposal to overwhelm us. . . . but nothing is a match for the incredible power of Jehovah’s holy spirit which we have at our disposal, just by asking through Jesus! Imagine our Father’s pride when, despite all the odds, miserable creatures like us ASK for that holy spirit using our own free will! (We really cannot go it alone in this time of the end, against all those odds!) Jehovah really wants us to succeed! What a reply our Father will have for Satan at the final test if against all odds, we can maintain our integrity until then - because we really have nothing to recommend us, except our faith in the ransome sacrifice, our obedience and love for the One who allowed Jesus to volunteer to die for us. Our loyalty and steadfastness vindicate both Jehovah’s name AND his decision to provide the ransome. Like Paul, I pray constantly that I will not disappoint - and I worry constantly that I might!
  12. I’m sure you will do very well Brian - let us all know how it went! Including you in my prayers 🙏🏻
  13. Hello Mandi - great to chat with you too! Ah! Then I am not a “Creationist” either in that sense then! Thanks so much for the brill references - my head is a bit clearer now! 🤪👌 I will have to spend more time viewing the older threads, as much has obviously been said already. . . .
  14. Depends what you mean by creationist, I guess. I believe Jehovah cannot lie - therefore, however long the “days” of the creation and evolution of the rest of life on Earth were ( possibly billions of years) I do not believe that Man followed the same route to Eden. Eden was it seems, a small area of the earth which Jehovah perfected in order to place his first perfect man. That man and his descendants were to spread Edenic conditions all over the Earth. True, we do not know how long Adam had been in Eden before being turfed out and we do not know how long the process of making Adam took.(Genesis 2:7 And Jehovah God went on to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living person) I believe it took only moments rather than millenia - based on the account of Eve’s creation being a rib taken from Adam & fashioned into another person. Also, how the Angels can fashion up a body to order to be able to give a witness to us when Jah needed them to. I guess that I believe that the creation of Man was an “exception to the rule” of evolution - given that the Grand Creator has the power to do whatsoever he wishes. Look at it this way - setting aside all the complex scientific knowledge and education there is in the world ( which I don’t understand either!) logic tells me that if Man had existed for much more than 6,000 to 7,000 years - we would have destroyed our planet ten times over! God’s word, the bible, is always right - maybe all will be revealed if we keep the faith and make it to the new Eden!
  15. Bro. william how long are the “periods of time” estimated to be by science? I only ask because the biblical account of the creation of man and the time span of generations meticulously recorded in the bible, only takes us back to around 4’000 bce.
  16. Very interesting and I have quoted the post above, which is seemingly credible because the interviewee claims to be a Biophysicist. If this is totally inaccurate, then we all need the accurate knowledge so that we are not misled, or indeed mislead others - and for that, I thank you for contributing. 🏆
  17. :22Evolution is a proven fact, Is it? Last I heard, ALL bio physicists who have studied the human genome since it was fully documented in 2002 state that, rather than moving FORWARD from some primeval amoeba to perfection over billions of years, we are actually moving backward FROM perfection with each new generation. In fact, the speed at which the human genome is degenerating seems to indicate that we may have had a level of near perfection some 10k or less years ago and may be extinct a couple of thousand years from now! All very contrary to the theory of evolution! In short, each new generation is passing on its own defects and all those of the generations before it. That is why God’s word says “unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved. . . “ Matt 24:22
  18. Access to Jehovah’s ear, through Jesus Christ - what a wonderful provision! 👏🏻👏🏻❤️
  19. Well. . . we don’t say we speak “proper” English! We say that we speak English “properly” - and that’s Queen’s English! But roll on the pure language which will truely unify us all!!! 🙏🏻👌😆
  20. I think that strange critter is a skeleton - meant to be death following them around from now on. . . . and the funny “cocoon” thing on the floor beneath it is probably Adam’s shroud waiting for him! ( I could be wrong but I think the artist had a sense of humour too. . note Adam’s hand shielding Eve’s breast from view in the “banished” side of the picture.) Also, the introduction of flies, insects and creepy crawlies after the banishment - facinating interpretation of Paradise Lost!
  21. I notice the document dates back to the 4th centuary BCE and is pretty word perfect in accordance with our modern day bible - just not put into modern day language like our lovely NWT. very faith strengthening - thanks!
