“parents train your children to love jehovah “.
the title says it all really, but par 6 has this piece of advice.. “jesus likened our time to “the days of noah,” and there is no doubt that we are living in “critical times hard to deal with.” (matt.
24:37; 2 tim.
Older ones may remember similar comments in the past when parenthood and even marriage was discouraged in the printed material. For example the book “Children “ . Oddly this was written as a dialogue between two single people in the WTS , John and Eunice and it concludes on this note...
"Eunice? That's a person named Eunice?" -- Judy Maxwell (Barbra Streisand), What's Up, Doc?
i haven’t seen her posting lately, is she all right?
i miss her insight..
useful information for students of history - why are bat viruses so deadly.. a bat virus may be responsible for the highly infectious coronavirus respiratory illness in wuhan china.. long ago, when i was growing up in a tiny fishing village on the far south coast of new south wales, some people still ate flying foxes, which were a type of bat.
they were kept in cages "to fatten them up," then killed and cooked.
i do not recall any specific sicknesses that may have swept that village.. other wild creatures were also eaten.
The ending reveals the source . . .

However:
At the end of the movie, with ominous music in the background again, we see a bat grab some fruit and drop it to the pigs below. We see the pig get sold and prepared by the chef that holds hands with Paltrow’s character for a photo. And that is presumably how it all started. In real life, it would likely take several contacts between animals and humans before a virus becomes fully transmissible to humans. It’s also unlikely that there was enough virus on Paltrow’s character’s hands to spread and infect other people. -- https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/481652-what-does-the-movie-contagion-tell-us-about
i received a call from a friend in new york city that don adams passed away late last evening (30 dec 2019).
many of you bethelites know him and he was the president of the society for a number of years after the gb got out of the corporate structure business.
from what i understand, he was generally liked by many there.. some in my family knew him.
It's a thread like this that draws up old memories. I was driving from a job today and, at precisely 4:41 p.m., I recalled something Don Adams said to me (circa 1970).
I can't recall which meeting it was and why a newbie would have been called on to conclude with prayer, but I was asked to do so. After all the usual bases were covered, I requested the forgiveness of our sins.
Afterwards, Br. Adams approached and commended me for pronouncing "err" correctly.
Made my day, or evening!

I worked with Karl's wife, Bobbie.
She told me that she had made a pie, which really wasn't very good. Nevertheless, her appreciative husband ate the entire thing without complaint.
True devotion.
hello forum.
my aunt, flyinghighnow, has passed away.
i don't know if you remember her, but she was a long time member.
not having attended any meetings since about 2001, for reasons of safety (sounds a bit dramatic but i don't like my wife being out on her own late at night where we live now), i have started accompanying her to the mid-week meeting.. when i was young, the ministry school and service meeting were central to training brothers to take the lead.
you were assigned instruction talks, then if you cut it, you moved pretty rapidly to public talks - a full 55 mins at the time.
i was just 18 years old when i gave my first public talk and this was a first step to moving rapidly through the ranks.
Excellent book, definitely old-school training:
in one country they're david and sophie.
in another they're petra and olena.
i just chanced across this recently.
But anyway, thanks. It could also be a nice name for a Labrador Retriever my wife and I are planning to get. I
Many Biblical characters bore animal names, including names which in the sensibilities of later times would be considered insulting, such as the woman prophet Hulda, whose name means "weasel". In some traditions, Caleb's being a "dog" symbolizes his devotion to God.
Is the soundtrack from the movie INCEPTION?
