Please remove, wrong topic Well, I found this in research, and from my gathering Jehovah was not putting a limit on our life span, he set a limit for the length of time for his will at that time, to be accomplished. I think🤔 However, Genesis 6:3 reads differently; it does not mention Noah, nor does it say that God was addressing him. It can be taken to be a simple expression of God’s purpose or determination. (Compare Genesis 8:21.) Significantly, in the historical record about developments long before Adam’s time, we find such expressions as: “God went on to say.” (Gen. 1:6, 9, 14, 20, 24) Obviously, Jehovah was not speaking to a human on earth, for man had not yet been created. It is logical, therefore, to conclude that Genesis 6:3 expresses God’s resolve to end the corrupt system of things on earth. Jehovah issued a judicial decree to do so in 120 years, though Noah was not yet aware of that. But why set a time limit? Why wait? The apostle Peter provides reasons: “The patience of God was waiting in Noah’s days, while the ark was being constructed, in which a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water.” (1 Pet. 3:20) Yes, when God made his determination concerning 120 years, there were things remaining to be done. Some 20 years later, Noah and his wife began to have children. (Gen. 5:32; 7:6) Their three sons grew up and married, bringing the family up to “eight souls.” Then they had to build the ark, which was no quick task considering its size and the size of Noah’s family. Yes, God’s patience for 120 years allowed for those things to be accomplished and set the stage for the preservation of life, allowing eight faithful humans to be “carried safely through the water.” The Bible does not specify the year in which Jehovah informed Noah that the Flood would occur. Inasmuch as his sons had been born, had grown up, and had married, possibly 40 or 50 years remained before the Flood. Then Jehovah said to Noah: “The end of all flesh has come before me.” He added that Noah was to build a huge ark and go into it with his family. (Gen. 6:13-18) During the remaining decades, Noah did more than provide an example of righteousness by his life. He served as “a preacher of righteousness” who had a very pointed warning message to declare—God’s determination to bring to ruin the ungodly of that time. Noah did not know long in advance in what year that would be, but he knew that it definitely would come. And you know that it did.—2 Pet. 2:5.

I noticed that in today's WT, I could not cut and paste in the notes box.

Suster, thanks for sharing this special moment of your life with us all. It's a very special memory and yes, you will open that bottle. AGAPE Sis Little

This tells ChatGPT your “ground rules.” You can even copy and paste that every time you start a new conversation! 4. Ask One Question at a Time Keep things simple. Some examples: “Can you summarize Watchtower Study Article 8 from April 2024?” “What scriptures support the idea of Jehovah as a loving Father?” “Help me explain 2 Corinthians 4:16 to someone struggling with illness.” 5. Use It With Caution and Prayer ChatGPT is smart—but not inspired. It can sometimes make mistakes, especially with spiritual topics if not carefully guided. Before using any answer: Compare it with JW.org Use your discernment Pray for insight (James 1:5) 💡 Bonus Tips Don’t treat ChatGPT like it knows everything. It doesn’t! But it’s excellent at helping you organize your thoughts. It can’t read your mind—be specific. You can ask it to rewrite things in simpler words, make outlines, or give suggestions for field service topics. 📌 One Final Reminder As 1 Thessalonians 5:21 says: “Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine.” That includes anything ChatGPT gives you. 😊 Thanks for the lovely advice my brother!!!!

I use it as well, and like our sister stated, you have to have those true spiritual boundaries. Now, sis how do you program it?

sister, can you please teach me how to make these bracelets?

Jehovah certainly anticipated that individuals with fragile faith might become discouraged by the seeming delay of divine intervention. He also recognized that the influence of immoral people could affect his true servants or, at the very least, diminish their belief that the sanctification of God’s name is on the horizon. It would be quite regrettable to lose one's resolve in these final days! This is why today's text is such a much-needed reminder!!!! While we understand from the Bible that Jehovah God will act at the appropriate time, we must pay attention to an additional warning from Peter. “Having this advance knowledge, be on your guard that you may not be led away with them by the error of the law-defying people and fall from your own steadfastness.”—2 Peter 3:17.

Bro Mike, when the anointed ones pass on, they will not see the pit, they goes straight to heaven. Anyone correct me if I’m wrong, but this is what I get.

Does anyone know how he is doing, is he still with us?
