  1. He's in all the Tom Cruise "Mission Impossible" films... excellent actor Also... I like the nuggets 😋
  2. Making sure our body, hair, breath, clothing (get those suit coats dry cleaned, please! ) are clean and fresh is basic and essential. Smelling good is a fine gift of ourselves that we can give to others... 💐🤲🏼
  3. Lume deodorants are a miracle. Seriously. ❤️ https://lumedeodorant.com/?utm_term=lume deodorant&utm_campaign=Brand%3A+Core+Brand+Lume+Exact&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=638567044983&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=18071231412&gbraid=0AAAAAC4SCozAdqWecF8BFfSbasxyDaldu&gclid=CjwKCAjwu9fHBhAWEiwAzGRC_78AcDjFtBa4GDzqH7ojwOex2ohAe66fUEQQDBEZRBHG3mSgd-WBYBoCjJUQAvD_BwE
  4. Here's my link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X64Z1sdNtd9TqGUEPng4iYKPrdLZ2mfh/view?usp=drivesdk It's from the 143rd Gilead Class (2017)- before the talks were all separated out, I think. It brings tears to my eyes every time..
  5. It is incredible! It came out a year that my son was df'd. I used to sit in the back row, saving a seat for him in case he came to meeting.. which he didn't for a long time. 😢 It was my way of keeping the birds and animals from his body.. 😭
  6. Beautiful. You've heard Bro Noumair's Gilead talk on Rizpah, right? "The Glowing Coal"? Very touching.. 🥲
  7. It's also the name of one of the PREMIER funk bands of all time 😎
  8. First I read this and thought - why do they keep messing with old ladies? My next thought was - I'm a 60-year old sister...
  9. Oh, I'm so sorry to heat this. I always enjoyed his comments here.. he was a lovely brother 😢
  10. Excellent Broadcast, as usual. The new song is a little kicky... not sure if I love it yet.. 🤔 Brother Liang's wig was a bit unfortunate, but his experience was outstanding!
  11. It's sad to read some attitudes about it, that if we can lay off 300,000 that means we don't really need them. I can think of a whole bunch of jobs that people do that *I* don't personally need in order to live my life but being so crass as to say that 300k citizens losing their livelihood is no big deal is simply awful. Love of the greater number is stone cold these days... The only slightly upside is that many government workers are paid monthly, at the beginning of the month. If they were paid for October, they may be okay until the end of the month.
  12. Nah... there are plenty of people who've never had any sort of romantic relationship who are just fine living a single life.
  13. For the people who cannot homeschool (I was one), these days must be truly horrific.. 😢
  14. I get highlights from the NY Times every day. I admit, I do like to hear what's going on out there... but my news is not from social media sites, as a rule.
  15. His manner of death is merely ironic to me.. I do not share his morals. Other than that, I'm more sad about the three more children shot at school in Colorado yesterday 😢 I am deeply glad I don't have children in school..
  16. Any death is tragic. He did, however, claim that some gun deaths were a necessary price to pay... I'm sorry for his young family... 😕
  17. It is truly tragic.. 😢 https://igberetvnews.com/1487795/trailer-collision-claims-15-jehovahs-witnesses-imo-state/#forward
  18. Sisters can be assigned to conduct a "recovery" study with sisters who have been reinstated; I've had that privilege (on both sides of the table.. ), but no one studies with df'd ones except elders.
  19. There was a demonstration on a circuit assembly some years ago about a couple either being assigned to or determining on their own (I can't remember; this was back when I lived in Chicago) to serve a congregation in the Deep South/ Bible Belt in the United States. The couple discussed the challenges of dress and grooming they would face moving there; they were from a big, metropolitan city. Their dress and grooming - particularly the sister's hair, make-up, and jewelry would be considered immodest and inappropriate where they were headed, even though she looked perfectly chic and well put together in the city they currently lived in. The brother's suits were a bit too slick. She expressed concern about her own preferences and what she'd be comfortable with - even where she'd get her hair done (she "takes her glory to the beauty shop EVERY week" ) vs. the opportunity to assist a congregation/ area that really needed their help. There was no decided conclusion in the demonstration, but the message stuck with me. Sometimes - maybe even many times - we need to reign in our own sense of style and propriety in order to be effective and represent Jehovah without getting in His way. Sometimes, we can't bring all of our culture with us.. Of course, we can ALWAYS do whatever we want, right? We just need to be prepared for the consequences and repercussions.. that's just life..
  20. I'm hoping for a chance... I talked to a sister this weekend who has been to NINE international conventions!!! 👀 I wanna go.. 😢
  21. Wanting to change the name Department of Defense to Department of War doesn't sound peaceful.. And hasn't he already met Kim? They're like, besties or something
