  1. Trump looks to be desperate to get Greenland, whether they want to submit to that or not. I don't follow the news too much, so I don't know why he wants it so badly. But whatever it is turns him into a bully.
  2. We usually start a new topic for the new JW Broadcasting, which will appear tomorrow. But we already know what this month's JW Broadcasting will be: (99.9% likely) the Annual Meeting! However there is already a topic for the Annual Meeting: https://jwtalk.net/topic/59094-2025-annual-meeting-parts-1/ It's already 45 pages long! So just scroll to the end, and we can continue our discussion of it over there. So I'm not sure what we'll use this topic for. You can decide.
  3. Of course, it was COVID that put us on the road to using Zoom instead of going to the hall. Our congregation has about 45 to 60 on Zoom at all meetings. Most of us there (yes, myself included) cannot get around as easily as we once could, simply because of age. We do all our service on Zoom too (maybe ten of us), writing letters or making phone calls. Once in a while, a snow storm prevents some of us from being at the hall. Because our hall is on a little used street, the city doesn't remove the snow for a few days after a big snow storm. No place for parking! So the hall becomes off-limits to everyone, and all of us meet on Zoom. @carlos used a very good illustration above. It's like IV fluids. Not very appetizing, but necessary.
  4. A blonde goes into a nearby store and asks a clerk if she can buy the TV in the corner. The clerk looks at her and says that he doesn't serve blondes, so she goes back home and dyes her hair black. The next day she returns to the store and asks the same thing, and again, the clerk said he doesn't serve blondes. Frustrated, the blonde goes home and dyes her hair yet again, to a shade of red. Sure that a clerk would sell her the TV this time, she returns and asks a different clerk this time. To her astonishment, this clerk also says that she doesn't serve blondes. The blonde asks the clerk, "How in the world do you know I am a blonde?" The clerk looks at her disgustedly and says, "That's not a TV -- it's a microwave!"
  5. I really enjoyed the reminders in this policy. I hope some of the AI users in JWTalk take them to heart. Personally, I have never used AI. And I hope I never will. It doesn't make sense to me to use something artificial when the real thing is right at hand!
  6. Hhmm... Are you still here, Pauline? You weren't feeling up to coming on to our Zoom chat tonight, but you're here? Okay, just ignore that.
  7. FIve study articles. That's all. But as @Dolce vita affirms, they're extra-good ones!
  8. The story of Kimihiro Nakata is in the Watchtower of October 15, 1959, pages 637-9: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1959766#h=1:0-15:0 As for older recordings, see the PM I sent you.
  9. We'll see. We've been getting eight GB Updates since 2022.
  10. It is now! And yes, it's 133. ...and it's almost an hour and a half!
  11. I remember once when some JW-hater in one of Russia's anti-cult groups said something like: 'if we throw enough JWs in prison, all the rest will get scared and leave their religion.' When are they going to learn it doesn't work like that?
  12. I am updated. But you could go on to jw.org and download the update if you don't want to wait anymore.
  13. Me too. I'm not nearly as dead as it's been reported. At least... not yet.

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    I was visited during a tract campaign in 1974. I spent the next 11 years studying on and off, with three different brothers, before finally accepting the fact that this is where I belong.

    If you can count the number of times you have prayed today, then you haven't prayed enough.

    The reasons some brothers and sisters give for not being at the meetings are the very reasons they should be there.

    We need to be at the meetings to "incite to love and fine works."—Hebrews 10:24. But how can you incite if you're not in sight?

    When one flees temptation, one should never leave a forwarding address.

    Never forget what Jehovah remembers, and never remember what Jehovah forgets.

    Life can be understood by looking back but it must be lived by looking ahead.

    If Satan keeps reminding you of your past, just remind him of his future.

    Man says, "Show me and I will trust you." Jehovah says, "TRUST ME AND I WILL SHOW YOU."

    Let the Mind of your Master be the Master of your mind.
