  1. I must say, I do appreciate this question because it wasn't until recently that I realized when loved ones die on or near a holiday, it adds a new layer of grief, especially birthdays and Christmas. So much so that it ruins the holiday for the person. That's so sad to me [emoji20] Sent from my SM-A205U using Tapatalk
  2. Forgive my ignorance, I'm just a bit confused. I hope this isn't going off too much of a tangent. As our rewarder, Jehovah repays acts of faith. (heb 11:6) But what's the difference between undeserved kindness - which is "given unearned and unmerited, motivated solely by the generosity of the giver" (glossary), and what's brought out at Heb 11:6 & even Heb 6:10? Is there even a difference? We as imperfect sinful humans who misses the mark everyday, are not and should not feel *entitled* to getting something from Jehovah. This is the thinking I've had up to this point but I'm not getting a satisfying connection. Sent from my SM-A205U using Tapatalk
  3. DUH, Awesome [emoji38] I knew I JUST watched it, Thank you bro/sis! Talk about irony [emoji28] Sent from my SM-A600T1 using Tapatalk
  4. I remember reading or listening an illustration the organization released that went something like this: "not meditating on spiritual gems is like holding up a camera to take a beautiful photo, only to end up not taking the picture." Been thinking and researching this all week, could someone please help me out?? [emoji28][emoji4] Sent from my SM-A600T1 using Tapatalk
  5. Hello brothers and sisters!! Our Deliverance is truly near!! I'm sure if anyone has noticed fully but The Governing Body has written two studies of the Watchtower, to prepare us for the upcoming trial/situations ahead. We will have them on September 8 and 15/19 Just by glancing at it, the articles contain practical advice, as: 1-Meetings in small groups. 2-Wear clothes that do not attract attention. 3-Talk low. 4-Do not leave publications when we preach. 5-Hide some publications at home. 6-Memorize from now on songs that strengthen us. 7-Know how to keep quiet. 8-From now: constant prayer. 9-Know Jehovah well to show our trust in him at all times. The Watchtower of July 2019. Link for the first study https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=2019485&srcid=share Second study https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=2019486&srcid=share Jehovah is equipping us very soon with vital advice that will help us endure up coming persecution. Stay sharp, and agape 😉🤙
  6. "Be wise, my son and make my heart rejoice, so I can make a reply to him who taunts me" - Proverbs 27:11 If Jehovah's happy, I'm happy 😊
  7. Here's something I'm planning on finishing soon (probably not lol)

      Leonardo's works especially drawings were often unfinished ... most of mine are unfinished too.

      Perhaps now highlight the facial expressions and leave rest unfinished? So your eyes are drawn to the emotion you are trying to convey? Just a suggestion.

      WOW! Where did you learn to draw like that.  Is there a course, method, or art school?

      @kejedo Thank you! I actually haven't been to any schooling. Though, I haven't been without help. Pretty much all of my dad's side of my family is drawing or has drawn and they've helped me a lot with the basics. Once they taught me everything they knew, I tried to watch as much YouTube videos and online tutorials as possible. 😊 Some hands-on training would be awesome though

  8. I thought it could be a good idea to share the occasional artwork I draw. Here's my most recent portrait of Henry Cavill aka Superman

      Your interest is correct. Your talents could be well used in Bethel.

  9. When the text mentioned how Jehovah understands our genetic make-up, it reminded me of my favorite chapter of Psalms, chapter 139. David goes in depth about how Jehovah really understands us about individuals. Looking at the complexities of not only our genetic code but everything that may involve. Why our hair color may be different or the same from our relatives, the mixture quirks we share with our parents may seem simple or trivial to us, but are what makes us us, to Him. In the context of the text though, it helps us to appreciate Jehovah knows our inherited imperfections as well. That inherited disease, mental problem, or struggle we got through something that was totally out of our control: Jehovah knows it. He knows the relative we inherited from, whether it was 2 generations ago, or 10 generations ago, he knows the source. It no doubt hurts him to know that another imperfection beyond our control has been added to the list. That's why he's moved to "make a way out" for us. Truly a loving God 😊😊😊
