  1. Maybe they will use money from false religion and all it's properties as a reason to destroy
  2. Thank you! I will post how how reading and studying helped me come up with my theme for the dinner party. I'll have to post under another topic so as not to take up space here. I'm so excited to share it.
  3. I started studying our new publication Walk Courageously with God yesterday with two sisters. We spent 3.5 hrs talking to get to learn about each others past, as two of my sisters had never met. One from the cart I met and one from my congregation. The first chapter was on Enoch. Upon starting to discuss the chapter we realized we have already been walking Courageously and started to see ways we could improve. For the first time in 30;yrs I studied not to learn facts but simply through the eyes of bonding with my spiritual family. I am starting a dinner party this Saturday afternoon....oops I'm late for appt but will write more later.
  4. Over time, Jezebel stopped being treated as a name at all and became more like a warning term, similar to how Pharaoh or Herod function symbolically. Just googled this thought. Interesting
  5. August 2025 “Questions From Readers” in The Watchtower A more recent article discusses when the preaching work will end and clarifies that the good news of the Kingdom will continue to be preached right up until Armageddon, rather than being replaced entirely by a doom-and-gloom judgment message. This is an adjustment of earlier understanding and shows the Society’s current stance on the timing of any judgment-focused message.
  6. Worked cart at court house yesterday. About 45 mins into our shift a group formed carrying red, white, green flags and the American flag. No one knew the striped flags country of origin because Mexico and Iran same colors, ones stripes are vertical and one horizontal. I googled it. Iran. Then the news cameras started rolling in, more people arrived to the 'peaceful' protest then loud chanting is forgien language started. We were instructed to pack up and leave quietly. A sister said that Monday a Spanish brother was 'picked up, handcuffed if front of his wife and small children by Isis and taken away. The sister said he was prepared with all legal paperwork but it did not matter. They said the brothers/elders knew he was legal and it was a concern but still relied of having the legal documentation kept their hope up. It is evident documentation will not prevent deportation so now the Spanish brothers are all quiet anxious as well as their spiritual family.
  7. I like reading the different responses. It's like watching a tennis match. Someone poses a question or thought that may have never occured to me, then one gives a reply, I see and like the response, then the next person gives a different reply. It allows me to consider the many different ways that things may happen but I know only Jehovah will reveal the correct one. It keeps my curiosity high.
  8. I use it to verse map. How would I use a verse map format in jwlibrary or on our authorized web site to perform this research please?
  9. I hope so. I found it exhilarating. I felt Jehovah lending me his courage.

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    Was at the end of my rope in my 2nd marriage--honestly felt suicidal. Remembered my grandmother visiting years ago from CA and that she would talk to my Mom about the Truth. My Mom died at 53 but had mentioned to me that if there was a right religion JW had to be it. My Mom had died and JW's came to my door. I had a house full of company and invited them in. Later they would remark that they "knew" I was a sheep because I invited them in and visited with them and got them cold beverages to drink and made them feel so hospitable in the midst of all my turmoil. If anyone knows Phyllis Bittner, originally from Bartlesville, OK and now residing somewhere close to San Diego tell her I am in the Truth now.Thanks for our time together and planting that seed. Anyway, I read the Truth Book and quickly stopped my study due to my unhappiness with my first marriage. I was a nurse and took care of my present husband who was in for ETOH tx. Began a relationship with him, divorced, remarried and began a life that was always drama filled due to the alcholosim. Left Oklahoma and moved to LA. Had an unbelievable life style change, went from living in the Salvation Army shelter because I was to afraid to tell my family my husband was still drinking and lying to constantly make things appear better to my husband getting sober and starting his own business and even having a yacht slipped at Marina Del Rey and living in a 6000 sq ft home owned by the wealthest family in CA (Otis Chandler)--lots of things I am not able to talk about transpired, I made a cold call to JW's from the yellow pages and Gwen Logan was sent to study with me--6 months later I was baptized.
