  1. Babylon the Great's final days? The world is getting tired of her! We're seeing history unfold before our eyes, my friends! https://apnews.com/article/vatican-trial-pope-critique-becciu-3cee6a7f78070e590c5e90f31d56d52d?user_email=821590ea51baf8434ebcd83d9aaeedf830f2527759d59144f45843fcc67435eb&utm_medium=Morning_Wire&utm_source=Sailthru_AP&utm_campaign=Morning Wire_19 Mar_2024&utm_term=Morning Wire Subscribers The legal opinions cite Pope Francis’ role in the trial, since he secretly changed Vatican law four times during the investigation to benefit prosecutors. And they call into question the independence and impartiality of the tribunal since its judges swear obedience to Francis, who can hire and fire them at will. The critiques underscore the growing problems on the international stage for the peculiar microstate that the Holy See calls home: an absolute monarchy where Francis wields supreme legislative, executive and judicial power.
  2. Is THAT what that break was for? I thought it was so that me and the other little ones could go outside and run off some of that energy!
  3. What are these called? I could definitely do these!
  4. Hmmm... maybe not with the whole "Hebrews 10: 24" thing.....but what about Midweek meetings in homes? Like the old book studies were.
  5. Wow. I am just a little envious. I've read most of Thomas' books and loved them all. And you're just getting started? What treats you have in store!❤️
  6. Like Cheryl, every time someone passes away, I think: this is their best chance for being in the New System! Death, where is your sting now? Jehovah can (and will) fix everything!
  7. Ths week ST:SNW made Star Trek history with the first musical episode ever. Sure, some characters have sung in selected episodes in the past (in various series)--we even ALMOST heard Worf one time on ST:TNG--but no episodes where there was singing and dancing throughout the entire episode. What did you think of it? If you haven't seen it, check it out on Paramount+
  8. My son and I have been working on a new Family Worship Project. We have been writing small encouraging notes to our local brothers and sisters, a few at each meeting. Each envelope is decorated on the inside and out with appropriate stickers, tuck-ins and upbuilding scriptures we've hunted down for each person. (not the same scripture over and over) Now, we are looking to expand a little. We'd love to write some (or all!) of the brothers and sisters who are currently in prison for their faith. The only time we did this was when as a worldwide brotherhood, we wrote letters to Russian leaders. How would we go about getting addresses? Should we translate using Google? Has anyone else done this? All ideas, suggestions and comments are welcome.
  9. Wow! How great are you to have an actual experience that illustrates the theme of the convention you are attending??? Kudos, my brother! (Oh, and I hope you get the car thing straightened out. Would be happy to start a gofundme page for you!)
  10. There's a Kingdom hall in East Palestine. Has anyone heard any news about the brothers in this area?
  11. John, sorry for hijacking this conversation, but this is the closest topic I could find to my question: I know there must be a way to "undo" it when I've downloaded a Broadcast in 240 and really want to "delete" it so that I can download it in a higher resolution--like 720p instead. I just can't find a way to do it. Do you know how?
  12. So, it's the discrimination aspect, and not the funds we object to. Jehovah would make up for the lack of money, no question. But we object to the government trying to influence what Bible principles we support.
  13. I would like to correct this information just a little. Babylon the Great actually has already fallen. I was actually referring to the time when all religion is gone and Jehovah's people are the only ones left, so that Gog of Magog turns to attack us. Sorry for the confusion.
  14. I think this could be one step closer to the fall of Babylon the Great. The article references "conversion" therapy and has announced a push for the criminalization of "religious teaching, prayer or other speech aimed at groups or individuals which does not affirm their view of gender or sexuality." If passed, this would mean it would be a criminal offense to have a teaching against LGBT unless it was....in the most non-judgmental or non-directive way.

  15. Even if it is 500% more contagious... https://www.newsweek.com/new-covid-variant-possibly-500-percent-more-infectious-delta-1653596 it wouldn't be too bad, if the symptoms are light as David says. I already feel tired most of the time, and I could take pain medication for the light headache......
  16. I knew it! I just knew you'd find a way to sift through those bazillion ideas in your head and come up with something new for us. And I'm so glad! Your newest treasure is read and reviewed! I'm mentally reviewing all my favorite Bible accounts and wondering which one is next for you!
  17. Possibly not the primary reason, but it is definitely leading up to that situation prophesied in Revelation. Babylond WILL come down. It's only because we're watching it happen in slow-mo that it seems like it's taking soooooooooo long............
  18. I wonder if anyone has contacted this associate pastor to advise him on the ramifications of writing novels that feature Jehovah's Witnesses and their beliefs?
  19. But not the white ones. https://religionnews.com/2021/02/04/southern-baptist-leaders-decry-racist-letter-received-by-dwight-mckissic/
  20. Could be getting close now! https://www.phillytrib.com/religion/amid-calls-to-taxthechurches-what-and-how-much-do-us-religious-organizations-not-pay-the/article_ec7ffe52-53d0-530e-a105-a93369f3fa5f.html
  21. If they can get a "token" woman to join their government, I don't believe she would even be allowed to speak without her husband or father there. Perhaps they could persuade more people to stay in the country instead of fleeing to surrounding areas. After all, they have to have someone left to rule over, right?
  22. Well, that's keeping a positive outlook. Let's file that one away for the New System, shall we?
