Well that's answered my question. Thanks guys .

Seven years ago my husband passed away after 42 years of marriage ( l really was a child bride ) . After three years l decided that l didn't like this being on my own thing so l joined an online dating agency .

What an experience that was. The good, the bad and the perverted. Some very odd profiles and even odder photos .

Then a chap called Len caught my eye and l winked at him ( saucy madam) . He thought that l looked ok ish so we started chatting online . We just talked for a long time before meeting. I think that because we are both a bit more mature we felt that slow and steady was best .

Three and a half years later we are planning our wedding . He's my toyboy as he's a few years younger. An accountant who works for himself he is a widower and has 2 stepsons.

You did ask 😂 .

Do local JWs want in-person meetings back in your congregation?

by JWTom in

i realize many here think that in-person meetings will return as soon as things are safe with covid.

but many acknowledge it will likely be 2022 or later when this happens.. surprisingly, many pimi jws in our congregation are not shy about saying they are fine with zoom meetings forever and do not want to go back to in-person meetings.

many speculate similar thoughts that are on this site....such as a combination of in-person and zoom meetings.

jhine

Here in the UK many churches have been having Zoom services or Bible studies. Unlike with the WT this hasn't been compulsory but lots of churches have used technology to keep in touch .

However l know that the members of my church , by which l mean my local church , can't wait to be able to meet in person again. .

Jesus Creates a Monster

i recently found this image of jesus, with a caption, a reminder of past stupidity in believing that kind, loving jesus, would (on behalf of old yhwy) look after me when he 99% of the people on this earth.. .

in case you're wondering i found it on a pinterest page.. proverbs 8, of course.

personifies wisdom - and the passages are controversial and the subject of some academic analysis (e.g.

Sea Breeze , that's what l was thinking as l read the op . I said on another thread that l think of it like an IT person creating a perfect programme then a rival finds a way to put a virus in to corrupt it .

So , has someone messaged me recently and l haven't replied?

Also , l have news . One reason that l haven't been on for a while is that l have been organising a wedding - mine ! .

Why did Paul call Jesus, “the firstborn from the dead”?

by Doug Mason in

"jesus christ was resurrected on nisan 16, 33 c.e., the day when the jewish high priest offered up the firstfruits of the barley harvest.

this fits in accurately with jesus' being the "firstfruits" in the resurrection of the human dead.

(1 cor.

Phizzy , l have given this some thought and done a lot of Googling and tbh l can't find anything to explain exactly how in a practical way sin came into the world , the actual mechanics of it .

the gaping hole in this week's weak wt study.

by waton in

for pimi pimo persons: give us one text that says those aspiring to everlasting life should not partake of the bread and wine.

in the article, the whole proposition of refusing the emblems is based on the personal experience of one brother in the 1930s.!

all jws partook.

Yes, nowwhat ? Exactly.

AstraZeneca Vaccine For Canadians

by Vanderhoven7 in

the usa is "selling" us canadians huge shipments of the astrazeneca vaccine.

i wonder why they ordered them in the first place if they are not needed in the us.. http://sciencenorway.no/covid19/norwegian-experts-say-deadly-blood-clots-were-caused-by-the-astrazeneca-covid-vaccine/1830510.

jhine

Well here in the UK our vaccination programme is well ahead of any others. I am 65 and am due to have my second jab on Friday. I haven't heard of any problems caused by the vaccines .

The Astra Zeneca does seem to make people feel a bit rough for 24 hours ( l experienced that after my first jab) .

However l haven't heard of any other issues

I totally agree that everyone should partake in the Bread and Wine .

I still don't see this 2 hope teaching as valid. The quote from Revelation says specifically 12.000 from each tribe . And no one has commented on the Great Crowd , who are in front of the Throne
