front of jw.org has this article.... https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/archangel-michael/.
i am at work right now so can't examine it very close but was just curious what some of you more knowledgeable ones think of it?.
So did I, DD.
I researched a lot of extra-Biblical writings and came to the conclusion that Michael is one of 7 archangels.
Four of these stand in the very presence of God: Gabriel (Luke 1), man-like; Michael, lion-like; Phanuel, eagle-like; Raphael, bull-like. This is confirmed at Revelation 4.
The WT HAS to know this.

on my commute past 25 columbia heights, i noticed that the large 25'x25' jworg sign has come down.. i'm sure the sentiments of the entire brooklyn heights neighborhood are something like, "don't let the door hit you on the way out.
".
Sorry.
Wrong sign.

I have kinfolk who live there, and that's just how they feel.
I remember visiting them in 1969 and being intrigued by the sign - five years later, I was suckered into WT domain.

my boy is going to play for watford football club!
and whilst i didn't take his revelation to seriously, i am was glad his " goal" isn't to pioneer.
:-).
Nice!
Even though y'all have a strange brand of football.

just had a wild conspiracy theory.
get your tin hats everyone.
what if this mass letter writing is all a bethel conspiracy to increase declining service hours?
LOL!

I remember it quite well.
We had a WT study on that just before I got baptized in October of 1974.
I can still feel the queasiness that came over me during the study.
Looking back, I should have run like the wind!

and i can't wish him a happy birthday.
they converted when i was an infant, so birthdays were never a thing for us.
still, i'd love to be able to throw him a party, surround him with friends and family, and show him how much he's appreciated.
Just let him know how much you care about him.
He will appreciate it, I believe.
What a blessing for him to reach the Biblical three score and ten!
Love.

following from the worldwide campaign to send letters to the russian government: topic covered here.. i started observing a scary trend, i got around 100 messages on multiple messaging apps, facebook and other social media posts encouraging all jws to send letter to the russian government protesting on the ban with the hope they will overturn it.. what struck me is that all are doing it and encouraging others to do it.
so, what if the gb via jw.org request something like street protests, civil disobedience, to the extreme of voting for or against a particular law or fighting (far-fetched).. what would the jw membership do, not the awakened one?
in addition, i feel this exercise exposes the awakened ones.
A business letterhead is thought to carry more weight with authorities.
You know, the pecking order thing.

greetings, aging young men and women:.
the term, "aging young man," came to my attention when in my early 40s.
now, nearly thirty years later, i am definitely old.
I am both.
When illness forced me to retire, my boss and I wept.
Now, I'm dependable Mama Sylvia to my children and g'children.
I love them so, and I do believe it's reciprocal.
Sylvia
