Hello,
I am Roberta Brown, and I used to visit a previous version of jwtalk way back when. There are familiar names here, and a few that are no longer here - I know that at least two have passed away.  I didn't know until today that this site is still active, and am pleased as punch about it !!

lol i just realized after 50 you have nothing but Doc appointments, every day for the next 4 months i have nothing but all appointments M-->Fri.

So...
Goooood morning, Vancouver!

I am doing some research on my family tree and just found today that one of my ancestors in the 19th century opened in Madrid one of the first wax museums in the world.

TODAY we are celebrating our 66th wedding anniversary.
He has been a faithful Brother for 50 years, a MS who pioneered many years. He is now in hospice in a nursing home so I don't know if there will be a 67th. 😢
So please celebrate this day with us....💕

My Bible Student, who got baptized (serving as MS now) will have his first 15min Public Talk in few months, I will finish the other 15min... what a blessing from Jehovah. 

Even small communities are affected by random violence. This is where MH is supposed to be working for the next few months. He now has to delay his arrival because of it.

Last I developed a serious case of pneumonia. Because of the covi/hospital cituation I put off going to the emrgency a little too long and required immediate hospitalization. No beds to be had on the Oregon Coast. Nearest  bed was 100 miles away. Ambulance was ordered, they too are busy, it took 5 hours for them to show up. Two hour run to the Hospital in Spring field. Checked in at 11:30 PM.
The worst part besides haveing to do it without my wife's presence was the two hour ambulace ride. I was told it would be very uncomfortable and it was. Given the choice of the ambulance trip or having my fingernails pulled out one by one, I think I would lean toward the fingernails.
 

 
 

Was assaulted yesterday, punched 5-6 times in the head by violent neighbour. Still shaken.  Need prayers.

Read/heard 2 things today that inspired me.
Special Talk point; "See the value of the truth not the cost". 
Then the experience in the 4/1/04 WT; "Compared with the blessings, the sacrifices are small."

I have read through this forum again and again and it simply can't be left unnoticed how much you love these spiritual discussions. 👨‍👦 If its proves anything, its your love for Jehovah. Every one of you; you are  awesome.  Don't give up!  ❤️ 

Changed my profile photo. It says "Me looking outside to see what chapter of Revelation we're doing today."

YAYYY!! The USCIS check was finally cashed after waiting for 47-48 days. Not often I've been happy to say bye-bye to that kind of money. Now waiting for the green card extension letter and then back to the waiting game 🙄

Hey those downunder do you see the great tribulation starting since you are 2021😂

😟😠Our family in Russia continues to be harassed and beaten  and interrogated needlessly. Lets not forget their strong faith and good example.

I wasn't going to say this again this year but I can't help myself...there's only 3 weeks till the shortest day of the year! Things'll start looking up after that.

In the last five years, I went from a full-time employee in a high-stress job, to found a tumour in my chest, then went back to work. Had a full hysterectomy (no wimpy laparoscopy for me, always gotta do everything the hard way) after they discovered a pumpkin sized growth in my uterus, my husband lost his job, twice. His Dad died, and mine had emergency surgery. My aunt died. Adopted two children, and then moved one province over and 1400 km away (it was a fantastic move) Got bit up by the family dog and needed 18 stitches, had to put him down because he had a brain tumour. Started homeschooling during a pandemic. I have to say Jehovah ❤️ is good. He's sustained me through one trial after another, and I haven't lost my sanity yet. NO WONDER I'VE BEEN CRANKY LOL!

Enjoying an unseasonably 😎warm, sunny day 🌞 while it lasts...

Good evening Everyone!   I just wanted to share  what has been going on since April due to the Pandemic.    As some of you already know, I work at a school.  Well, my Superintendent has been connecting and listening in on our congregation zoom meetings since April and has not missed but three since she began (one was due to a funeral).  She has even listened in when we have abbreviated Watchtower lessons due to our Circuit Assembly last week.    She and her 89 year old mom listen in and said they love listening in and learning.  They are Catholic.   I send her via text the public talk title each week and the Watchtower lesson for that week.   About a week ago after she missed a couple of Sundays she said to me, "Please don't forget us!"   I told her she can rest assured that we would not.   Anyways it is encouraging to see ones of a different faith connecting to our Zoom meetings.

Hey you! Yes you. You've lived to see another November! And what a year it was...though its not over.

I'm watching this video, my goodness I didn't realize how relevant this is for us today. Worth the watch. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/VODMoviesBibleTimes/pub-ivnwf_x_VIDEO

Got a temp job for two months starting on October 15th!! (background check pending 🙄) Thank you, Jehovah! 🙏🏻
