This also reminded me of our last talk in the Regional Convention with respects to 2 Timothy 3:1-5............if we look at the word "critical" in a medical sense:
1. Stable - Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. Patient is conscious, but may be uncomfortable. Indicators are   favorable.
2. Serious - Vital signs may be unstable and not within normal limits. Patient is acutely ill. Indicators are questionable.
3. Critical - Vital signs are unstable and not within normal limits. Patient may be unconscious. Indicators are unfavorable and patient could well die...........doesn't this depict the condition of the world today.............we certainly need God's Kingdom.

"Of course I am right"..........I used to be conceited once............now, I am perfect!!!!!     I WISH.
........but, on the serious side, one day we will be able to say we are perfect and isn't that something to look forward to

Certainly a nice experience.........it reminded me of the time (1984) when my late wife and I went to the UK on holiday. We went to the British Museum one Saturday morning and a couple of brothers conducted a tour through the Assyrian Section of the museum. There were several other brothers and sisters in the tour as well, all armed with Bibles at the ready..........we had only been on the tour a couple of minutes and three nuns joined the group and stayed until the completion of the tour. Whenever we looked at particular artifacts from Assyrian history we would read the account in the Bible..........It was impressive for the brothers and sisters to see these artifacts that were related to in God's word, but, the nuns were completely blown away and boy, were they impressed.

"Pretty  brave  and  spontaneous  our  kiddies..." 
I have to agree that our young ones are seem to be fearless........fear of man and other things comes as we get older. It certainly adds meaning to the words of Jesus found at Matthew 18:3

WHAT ??   Of  course  we  can  use  that  point,  also  similar  points !   The  humans  like  to  hear  such  of  examples  ;o)   Jesus  made  it  too !!    But  okay,  its  your  personal  opinion........

I am not sure whether I would be game to try that!!!
.......but, as they say, "out of the mouths of babes".............how true that is.

Certainly a good illustration to keep in mind.

A  wonderful  little  story,   we  can  good  use  by  our  serving !  The  Bible point  is  phenomenal  ;o)  ( video )  Watch  the  end....

Thank you for kind comment.
I spent two weeks in Germany in Friedrichshafen on Der Bodensee. I was at the ZF gearbox factory.......that was way back if February 1965, I was in the Royal Australian Navy then.
Just a point I noticed today on the music/video before the afternoon session, I saw a photograph (an old sepia photograph) of a similar set-up to that shown in this recent photograph. I would guess, and its only a guess, that it would be in the nineteen thirties, however, I thought it was worth a mention.

I don't know about WOW............a bit scary though, but I thank Jehovah that I am still in pretty good shape (I think!!!)
Had the first day of our Circuit's Regional Convention today here in Adelaide, South Australia (at our Assembly Hall........much more comfortable that the Adelaide Entertainment Centre); just about to download the video from last years convention that the brothers said was available  

I also meant to say, I think that it is quite a novel and practical idea; a good place to store extra literature AND coffee.
As I have mentioned before, Jehovah's people are very resourceful.........another good example.

I can vaguely remember........I think (must be nearly 70 years ago).........something like that at seaside resorts in summer.......they used to sell ice cream!!!!

Looks very nice............however, I think that the reflective ceiling (aluminium or stainless steel?) is rather off-putting!!!

I thought that it was very entertaining - there is nothing like brothers and sister enjoying themselves at congregation get-togethers like this.

The Kingdom Hall surroundings look delightful.......tropical rainforest!!

This is so lovely..........thanks for sharing ;0)?❤️?

The book is someone's opinion, a wrong look at us, but still simply a person's opinion.  Here's why:

1)  Jehovah's Witnesses ARE Christians.  A Christian is one who follows Christ TO his God, Jehovah.  We do that.

2)  Jehovah can use "anti-JW" opinions to draw the right hearted ones to Him.  I became a witness because I was presented with a LOT of hate against them and said to myself "well I wonder why so many hate them?  There must be something there since Jesus said the world would hate his followers"  So I checked them out thoroughly and found: "Yes the world does hate them because they have biblical truth."

3)  Why should we waste what little precious time we have before the end even acknowledging such hate?  Naw, we concentrate on the job Christ gave us:  Jehovah's work: preaching of God's wonderful Good News!!! 

The Warwick sign is simple ,but looks quite impressive.

The first pcture is a explanation for: "How woman think".
A+
 

I only wish I could remember when I was that age!!!!!
All I know is that seems a long, long time ago.
Roll on the new system.

I think that this picture says it all. The universe, our beautiful Earth in our solar system and man...........all creations of the Sovereign Ruler of the universe, Jehovah.
