We’re ready to go.
by lastmanstanding inwe meticulously obeyed the divine counsel from the slave.
we prepared our “to go” bag, and we await gods direction from the slave on our exit plan.
we submitted our “destination” away back when, the address of our worldly relatives where we planned to flee to for salvation.

The GB should have a private jet like Kenneth Copeland. Then they needn't miss that appointment in Jerusalem.

Warning!
by FedUpJW inno...not a warning from me, rather that is the subject of the "local needs" that i heard was presented via zoom tonight.. beware of apps!
they harped on the idea that only apps approved by the governing body should ever be downloaded or used by jdubs.
they said if they had not been featured in the litterature or specifically recommended by the governing body then jdubs should heed the warning and avoid them.. i guess they are, as we all suspected, very afraid of what the dubs will find out now that they have to use only electronic devices for their "food"..

i wonder what next...ummmmm...final part of the final part of the final part of the finalpart...(on a recurring loop), you get the idea!.

"we are living in the final part of the last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days, shortly before the last day of the last days"
Are we to apply the day-year principle to this?
Is a day just a long period of time as in Genesis Ch 1?
Could these days overlap? -

I use Twitter as a News Feed and pretty much exclusively follow news organisations, think tanks and commentators I'm interested in, including those with view diametrically opposed to my own. I almost never Tweet. I consume the content of those who's opinion I value.
I know a research scientist who does a similar thing, following people in the field and he finds it gives him a heads up on what people are working on ahead of their research being published. He also engages in, erm, science literacy outreach work, otherwise known as arguing with Young Earth creationists, a calling from which he derives much pleasure.
I did use Facebook as a social platform, "friending" friends and family but found them much more boring online than in person so pretty much gave up on that side of it. I still use it for planning discussions on a closed group for the local Scouts group where I volunteer.
It isn't that social Media is junk in and of itself. It's that most people use it for junk. It can also be a treasure trove of interesting information and engaging material if you want it to be. If you prefer a Twitter spat, it's good for that too.
If you're posting stuff that could jeopardize your career prospects or ruin relationships if it was found out, do it anonymously and never drunk rant.

#2 - It's right and Ge 1:30 means that vegetation is the ultimate source of food for all creatures - not directly the source for all creatures.
*** g83 1/8 p. 28 From Our Readers ***I am profoundly disturbed by your article “The Design in Nature.” Surely, when Almighty God announced that ‘to every wild beast of the earth I have given all green vegetation for food’ he meant that he had provided green vegetation as the basis of the food chain.R. B., EnglandI found your article convincing as concerns the principle that design requires a designer. But on page 11 you make the statement that features of animals that are used for maiming and killing have evolved by adaptation to the new situation in Eden. Can this be said of the poison that some snakes and spiders use to kill their prey? What of other ingenious instruments of various kinds of predators. How can they exist if not by creation?D. K., GermanyWe did not claim that certain features evolved by adaptation, but that existing features were put to a different use from what was originally purposed. We do not believe it is possible to establish for a certainty how things were in the distant past by observing the present. Conditions have changed. But we do have a clear statement from the past, namely Genesis 1:29, 30: “And God went on to say: ‘Here I have given to you all vegetation bearing seed which is on the surface of the whole earth and every tree on which there is the fruit of a tree bearing seed. To you let it serve as food. And to every wild beast of the earth and to every flying creature of the heavens and to everything moving upon the earth and in which there is life as a soul I have given all green vegetation for food.’” This does not mean that vegetation was merely the ultimate basis for food supply through a chain of animal life. Obviously it was not the case with humans because later when they were to begin to get some nourishment from animal flesh they had to be given a special concession. (Genesis 9:3) Further, during the Flood of Noah’s day, eight humans and ‘flying creatures and all moving animals of the ground’ were obliged to live on vegetable matter exclusively for more than a year. (Genesis 6:17-21) And the fact that Isaiah 11:6-9 and 65:25 specifically state that former predators will be at peace with other animals, and the lion will eat straw like the bull, would seem to confirm that animals and humans were meant to be vegetation eaters.As for the many predators being suited for the chase and the kill, what about humans? They have shown an extremely efficient talent for attacking and killing their fellowman. Does that argue for humans’ being designed that way from the beginning? Admittedly, we cannot answer all questions that arise in this matter from what we can observe today, and the account in the Bible is quite brief. Yet, we believe that humankind and animal kind were originally designed to live at peace with one another and to get their nourishment from vegetation. That original purpose will be restored during the Messianic Kingdom. We will have to wait and see how those prophecies are fulfilled.—ED.
It is in the last bolded section in the quote above that they give themselves wiggle room to get out of the straightjacket.
If they're going to start making messy compromises with reality, they might end up accepting evolution.
