  1. Last night a sister called my wife, this sister's mother is currently in the hospital. She had asked an elder in our hall if he could drop off some medical equipment to her mother. She needed it before 8am today. This elder however lives about 20 minutes away from the sister and the hospital is located another 15 minutes after from them in the downtown area. The sister felt bad because it would take about 1 1/2 away from him just to do this favor. I work in the downtown area and live just a few blocks away from them. Because of this, the sister asked my wife if I could do it instead. She was very embarrassed asking us for this favor. My wife asked me and I said yes I could do it. It would put me out a little, I would need to leave work 20 minutes earlier than usual, and my wife would need to walk the dog (my responsibility) but honestly I did it because it was the Christian thing to do. I wasn't bothered by it, but I really only did it because I felt I had to do it as a good follower of Christ. The morning came and I woke up early and drove to the hospital. I dropped off the medical equipment and got back in the car. As I turned the car on, I was filled with an enormous amount of joy. I just felt great. I start thinking about how if we follow Jehovah how he rewards us. I started thinking about the scripture "there is more joy in giving than in receiving". I felt happy and proud to be a part of Jehovah's organization. It even strengthened my faith a little. I just wanted to share this, as I have felt soo good all morning.
  2. I am waiting for some to grow it first. We have 2 elders and 2 MS growing it as we speak. I will be chairman in January, so I want to wait till then before I grow mines. I don't want to be chair with a baby beard, so I will shave in the meantime. Hopefully, by then the excitement will die down
  3. So I found something. Leviticus 19:27 “‘You must not shave* the hair on the side of your head* or disfigure the edges of your beard. The note for "the hair on the side of your head*" says *Or “cut your ­sidelocks.” Does this mean no for goatees?
  4. Last assembly there was guy dressed in a suit with a beard sitting in front of us. We saw that he was sitting with a brother who had a talk. So my wife started up a conversation with him thinking he was a study. Turns out he was a brother. I guess there will be more encounters like that in the future.
  5. In my last hall there was a brother who started having deep depression and anxiety due to covid. He grew a beard because he said he needed to hide his face due to the anxiety. When we came back to hall he finally shaved.
  6. I like how he said, we are gonna see bethilites, pioneers, special pioneers. It was kinda like "This is happening"
  7. I downloaded it. How do I find it in JWL? edit: Found it, however, the english version says Spanish
  8. How do we download them? I want both the english and spanish
  9. They better stop monkeying around and settle their argument, or the gorilla will go ape on both of them
  10. I would really like it if they produced their own software for this, but I understand that it is a huge undertaking. Additionally I think they only focus on software that pushes the preaching work. ie. JWL and MEPS. However, there is a clear need for scheduling software's to exist.
