    My wife has been sick since Thursday morning, she tested positive for COVID today. We will be Zooming the Memorial too. Since she is sick, I am going to try and make the bread for us this year.

    Tortuga got a reaction from daydream in Am I the only one who gets irked when people call the memorial a 'celebration' of Jes   
    I found many articles that refer to it as a celebration. You might find this one interesting.

    Tortuga reacted to Myew in Am I the only one who gets irked when people call the memorial a 'celebration' of Jes   
    I know. Thank you. I'm just pedantic. I prefer it to be called the 'celebration of the lord's evening meal' and 'the commemoration/memorial of Jesus' death', not 'the celebration of Jesus' death'. It's too easy for my literal brain to misconstrue and seems like it would give people who aren't familiar with the hope the wrong impression.

    I could add a laundry list of my wants but most of all I want is a friend, someone who looks forward to seeing my daily messages and longs to see me everyday. Been put on hold for 60 years plus and that is a lonely existence. Like living on an island. 
    Wait a minute, I had forgotten all about my friend Annie aged 75 who lived an hour away. Yeah, going to take a bus and join her Malay group. A great friendship going back 40 years ago. 
    Yikes this is looking like my daily journal.

    Yes, I understand from a nearby congregation that there are a couple of sisters who will be approached concerning the growing of facial hair.

    Tortuga reacted to Watching and Waiting in There is the scripture in the Bible that includes the question “perhaps in the privy?   
    The wording was changed in the Study Bible, but perhaps you're thinking of 1 Kings 18:27 where Elijah is mocking the Baal prophets.  The NWT w/References Bible uses that term.

    Tortuga reacted to cricket246 in Does JW.org login no longer show publisher photo and status?   
    Mine is correct on that part thankfully 😂 It still has my name and infromation, there just isn't a profile pic, publisher status and I'm not sure if there's an email I'd have to check lol

    I fell asleep at a Regional Convention once, I was sucking on a candy to stay awake but I fell asleep anyway and then drooled all over myself. My wife thought I had a heart attack, so I wake up to her yelling at me during the convention. Be glad no one woke you up yelling during the meeting..
