Annual Meeting, annual meeting, annual meeting...

I agree, my brother. Your points are totally valid in your context.

In case they need the help (😉)... https://www.kiro7.com/news/photos-person-vehicle-of-interest-in-attacks-on-jehovah-witnesses-halls/792672611

By yourself!🤣 I think it is when you bounce a ball against the wall in your house, get yelled at, then put it away...by itself...and then you're all by yourself again...

Jehovah gets a free pass! 😘 I'm not speaking about necessary discipline my brother. I'm referring to a person criticizing another person.

My brother, speaking in general about a group is not the same as gossiping about a single person. I was specifically referring to a person - let's say me - who accuses someone else - let's say you - for BEING a gossip. I am unable to accept my own inclination to gossip about others so I put that disowned part of me on someone else. Gossip is a killer of relationships. And very prevelent today. If we understand that the gossip we are hearing about ourselves is actually the person who started it - their own recognition and refusal to accept the fact that they themselves are guilty of the criticism they just threw at someone else, we don't get as hurt, we know that this person needs help ACCEPTING their imperfections, we do this by "heaping fiery coals on their head", showering them with love and acceptance - in the end, we win our brother. This is how a little understanding of our psyche goes a long way in our relationships with our brothers and sisters.

Im sorry brother - my experience and knowledge disagree with your explanations. If you feel the need to criticize others who do something you disagree with, you have an internal fight with something about yourself related to the person's issue that you don't want to admit. You can find out what the issue is by examining, interviewing yourself - playing both sides of the issue. In 1 chair, yourself and your critique; in a facing chair, play the part of the person, thought, concept, etc. you are criticizing. Talk it out. You'll be amazed at what you may uncover about yourself.

They have clear video of the man who started 1of the fires.

HTLV-1 is another ancient virus awakened and being called a cousin to HIV. It is spreading in Australia like wildfire and contaminating the blood supply in whole countries. Jehovah only knows what other ancient diseases we'll uncover before the end of mankind's rule comes...

A tiny bit of understanding the psyche goes a long way toward helping with our interpersonal relationships. When you see a long time single person - who would rather be married - that person might be suffering from a serious attachment disorder. Imagine - sitting in the presence of an adult who didn't get to know the advantages of being attached to their parents as a baby. How sad and so much easier to give them love even when they say something unloving due to their inability to make healthy attachments. The more we understand about what we are FEELING, the more empathy we develop.

Thank you brother for the excellent reminder! If you want to know the truth about criticism, in the mental health field, criticism is part of what we DONT ACCEPT ABOUT OURSELVES - we split off and toss it at someone else. So when a person criticizes someone for being a gossip - they themselves are unable to accept their own propensity to gossip (unfortunately, we all have it!) and want someone else to take this unsavory trait off of them. In this way, a critical person reveals their own insecurities. Which helps us know how to help them. Pour on the positive commendation and heap those fiery coals! It's so awesome to watch an insecure, critical person melt into a puddle of "mushy goo" from being so appreciated and treated with love! Love is always the answer.

It's crazy, isn't it? People are just taking it in stride!

Since we really have no idea what is really going on with all the mixing it up between the iron and the clay (Dan. 2:41-43), or with any other governmental leaders, there could be any number of things to divert our attention from. The killing of the journalist, the so-called caravan of people fleeing poverty and corruption in central America walking their way to the USA border - where they will likely be met with less than hospitable greeters; the Nov. 6 mid-term elections that usually greatly influences whether the President will be able to get any of their agenda promoted (however, one has to take into consideration that Jehovah is dragging these guys around like bulls with hooks in their noses so all the usual bets are off); the fire storm ignited over sexual harassment during the recent supreme Court selection - you name it - someone is trying to divert our attention from it!

Because they were sent to all the usual targets of the President's hostile rhetoric. Like someone took his hit list and tried to carry it out. Including 2 former Presidents and an entire news organization.

Also, the endangered Monk Seals. Hardly see them around the islands anymore.
