Bolivia, Contributions Decline
Letter to all Congregations of Bolivia:
To all Congregations

??????

Subject: donations for world labour
Dear Brothers,
With this letter we want to point out something that concerns us. This is the sum of donations for the global work donated by the bolivian assemblies during this year, which has declined compared to previous years.
One of the reasons for this decline is that the brothers don't plan their donations in advance, something that needs a change. In view of this, we want to ask you to help us implement a change:
Take the opportunity to present a 2-minute demonstration in the local needs of the week of 16 October 2017, where a married couple talks about the importance of planning donations. Not to mention figures, they consider their household income, expenses and unexpected costs. Finally, they decide to donate "this amount" to the world play.
In the same programming period, 3 minutes are used to explain the nature of voluntary donations:
(a) should be planned and planned as planned (1 CO. 16: 2 a)
(b) should be proportional to income (1 Corinthians 16: 2 B). Although a Christian earns little, the Lord estimates a small donation (Luke 21: 1-4).
(C) they should come from the heart and be given joyfully (2 COR 9: 7).

I haven't seen the original of this, which I assume is in Spanish, but I suspect that the word "estimates" here is actually an error based on the word "estimado" or a related word which in this context would have referred to "holding dear" or "esteeming." (In other words, the Lord esteems [dearly appreciates] even a small donation.)

I  can  tell  you  @JW Insider  'Bible Speaks'   often  copied  reports  from  our  Spanish  Brother  by  FB !   btw. me too :)    -   but  she  not  proofread  her  translated  texts, sorry :(  Last  time  she  made  a  big  title  mistake !  The  Librarian  read  that  and  asked  her  in  a  comment...

She  is  living  in  the  US.  -  I'm  living  in  Germany,  weird  situation.  I  always  proofread  my  postings,  not  want  making  any  mistakes :D  but  we're  all  not  perfect.  Maybe  she  posted  really  TOO  much...   then  mistakes  are  preprogrammed.  Thats  my  personal  opinion.   I  love  posting  since  ca. 7 years  and  I  learned  alot ! :)  For  me  it  were  awkward,  making  regular  such  of  mistakes ;-(    But  we're  all  so  different....

I love what both of you are doing. Very positive attitude and a lot of good work that many people can enjoy. I think it's great that some people post as much as they can. All of us make mistakes, but there is always more that's right compared to what's sometimes wrong.

      Dendera zodiac

      By the way, if you're into stuff like this, you might wanna check out https://thepythagoras.com/. They have some neat articles about ancient civilizations and their contributions to science and math. It’s really interesting how much we owe to these early thinkers.

      The Dendera Zodiac is such an amazing piece of history. Imagine ancient Egyptians looking up at the same stars we do now and creating this detailed map. It's mind-blowing! So, what do I think about it? I think it's a fascinating blend of art and astronomy. Those ancient folks really knew their stuff. The way they incorporated their gods and mythologies into the constellations is just brilliant. And it's not just about the stars, it’s a glimpse into how they viewed the universe and their place in it.

      Algorand Partners With FIFA World Cup

      By caminando · Posted

      FIFA's collaboration with Algorand represents a significant milestone for blockchain technology. Algorand will serve as the official blockchain platform for FIFA, supporting events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022. This partnership is poised to enhance FIFA's digital asset management while boosting Algorand's visibility through advertising and promotional opportunities. On another note, I've been tuning into African football recently. The match between Kanifing East FC and Latrikunda United was unexpectedly impressive. African football often goes underappreciated, yet the skill and enthusiasm in these matches are evident. We can expect even more significant development and excitement in African football with increased attention and support.
