Hello everyone! I'm attempting to plan a wedding, but I haven't been to a Witness wedding for many, many years. I'm due to go to one in November and another in possibly March, and it is looking like ours will be September time next year. So I was wodnering if anyone had pictures from inside the KH so I can see what kind of decorations people had? Namely, flowers, as I suppose that's about the only thing that there could be! 😂🙈 Any help is appreciated, thank you!!

About that, yep! If he can still love me after seeing my ugly teenage phase, then he's a keeper 🤣

Hello everyone!! I bear some great news that I got engaged to my lovely man on Tuesday! 😍 We've known each other about 10 years, and have been dating for the last 1.5 years. He's supported and held my hand through lots of ups and downs recently and truly loves Jehovah (and me 😉). We haven't had a chance to do proper wedding talk, and with our convention and a couple of busy weeks ahead of us, we're not planning for the future just yet and enjoying this time. But, does anyone have any advice for engaged couples, the wedding, new married life... Etc! Any advice will be gratefully received. We have such a lovely congregation who are so pleased to get involved, many sisters offered services before we'd even got engaged 😂

It's a bit of a trip for me, but if I was single and not trying to save to get married, I would absolutely be up for travelling around visiting other brothers and sisters!

Haha, yes i did do that, I'm just a lazy typer! 😆 Maybe I didn't see it because it's not easy to nagivate that part of the website on my phone

Thank you for this info, it wasn't coming up when I tried to search a BSL meeting, and I knew there was a congregation in Kent-ish area! It's about an hour from me, but I would like to visit at some point. ☺️

Yes please for the explanation between deaf and Deaf!! I didn't learn this in lessons, and have picked up there is a difference over things I read on the Internet, but never researched it.

@pgwenlan thank you so much, it looks so full of Jehovah's spirit and love!!! I'm going to see if I've got any friends that would like to go!

Pgwenlan, thanks so much for that info!! I would definitely go to my assigned assembly/convention, but I'm so tempted to come up for a day to experience it and meet new friends. I will certainly have a look at the dates (thanks thesauron for the info!) and see if I can afford to come up and have the time off work. Jonathan, I thought exactly the same before I started learning! Exactly as Pgwenlan said, similar to the spoken language, there are dialects/accents. I remember chocolate down here in our area is a cupped hand on the chin, but in her local area, it's tapped fingers down the chin a bit like you've dribbled 😂

Hi everyone, I've searched 'BSL' in the search bar, but nothing came up! I was wondering if there is anyone willing to learn/practice BSL, or if there are any congregations that hold BSL meetings or sessions that are local-ish to me, I live in Kent, UK 😊 I learnt a few bits from a Sister, but as she lived in Liverpool, it made some things tricky as they were different signs to what is used down here. Plus, we've parted ways since then, so it'll be nice to get to know other brothers and sisters with an interest in BSL. It's something I've loved for years. I learnt a few bits at an after school club about 5 years ago, and when the odd thing comes up locally I do what I can to attend. I don't feel like I know enough to visit the BSL assembly, but it's something I'd love to experience one day if they don't mind a hearing person attending! 😨

This is one of those scriptures that I cannot express the trueness of it!! So often do I feel so much lighter after a prayer to Jehovah, or a conversation with my boyfriend, or close friend after a meeting. One sister and her husband, once, invited me back after a midweek meeting to discuss something on my mind, and I couldn't express how much that meant to me especially after a late meeting. There's so much love in Jehovah's organisation!

To be honest, with all the films and media that comes from the US these days, I don't often give a US accent a second thought!

So wine is good for my anxiety-fuelled sickness then... I know it's a worldwide text for the day, but interesting that it's come at this time for me, because there's been a lot of talk about a product which is supposed to be incredible (almost a miracle for some) for fibro. I don't personally have a need for it, but it's all I seem to see or hear about at the moment from some people.

The study bible was definitely discussed in the broadcast (pretty sure it was May) as that's where I first heard about it, and wanted to know more, only for this announcement a few weeks after watching the broadcast (I'm a little behind...!)
