You mean that I cannot speculate Revelation 16:21 as those hailstones as being big chunk of chocolate???? AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

 

They cannot be chocolate, as hailstones is made of frozen water. Now if you said icy poles, caplyso, sunny boys or any other icy confectionery, then we cannot speculate that it will be these.

I liked the study 9


paragraphs 6 and 7

6 The Bible is not a book about health or diets. But it does reveal Jehovah's viewpoint on this. For example, Jehovah says to 'put away from our bodies things that are harmful' to health. (Eccl. 11:10) The Bible says that we should not do certain things that put our lives at risk, such as overeating or drinking too much alcohol. (Pro. 23:20) Jehovah expects each of us to have self-control in deciding how much to eat and drink. - 1 Cor. 6:12; 9:25.


7. How can we make good decisions that show that we value life? By using our reasoning. (Ps. 119:99, 100; read Proverbs 2:11.) For example, we can think sensibly about what we will eat. If we like a certain food, but know that it is bad for us, it would be better not to eat it. We also show that we have discernment by getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, having good personal hygiene, and keeping our house clean.



We just "got out" of a pandemic 
So the advice about hygiene is still valid


Interesting also about eating and drinking


As we are apparently in an "apparent normality" it is necessary to be careful about these things as they are also "signs of the end of the system of things" - Luke 21:34

Something I've always thought and expressed and gained constant rejection from some in the congregation and here. Now the GB has explicitly included these words in the Watchtower let's hope the few who disagreed with me will "take back their words" as did faithful Job 😊

I really like this paragraph. War in Ukraine and the prophecy of KOTN come to mind. 
 

I understand that we may ponder how world events fulfill Bible prophecy but we shouldn’t force others to agree with us. I’d imagine it’s okay to share our reflections to our spouse/close friends/dedicated topic on JWTalk in a non-intrusive manner but it wouldn’t be upbuilding to spread them to wider audience. 

 

🙏 Thank you! 🙏

I just remember the general flavours of cola, raspberry, orange and lime for the Sunnyboys. The thing with Sunnyboys, you could win a free one when you looked inside the packaging. There was like something like 1 in 5 chance of getting a free one.

 

There was a frozen milk product called Snips in a similar packaging as the Sunnyboys, but they were based in South Australia - Golden North was the maker.

I remember we had these thickshake satchets which were stored in the freezer, but we're in a plastic rectangular packaging which came in strawberry and chocolate flavours.

No I haven't seen them. My Mum worked at the Sunnyboy factory in Sydney, and she bought those milk ones home,

I never knew that they made milk versions. I was at school in the 80's, so it may have been in the 70's and previous years that they made these.

 

Even in many websites discussing Sunnyboys, they never mention a milk variety, but other flavors that they discontinued or made available. Sunnyboys were sold out to National Foods in 1991 then later to Daily Juice Co.
