  1. Past hour
  2. Enthusiasts often confuse words like 'piece' and 'peace', as well as to, too and two.
  3. Thank you Sister Nelly for sharing those encouraging points from the talk. This also reminded me of one of the interviews with Brother Negede, in Eritrea. Where he said something like ... After awhile I started praying for Endurance, and not just please help me to get out of here.
  4. A blind man walked into a bar, then a table, then a pole, then the counter.
  5. Monday, June 1 For you, O Jehovah, are good and ready to forgive.—Ps. 86:5. We are already benefiting from Christ’s ransom sacrifice. For example, on the basis of the ransom, Jehovah forgives our sins. He is not obligated to forgive us. But he wants to. (Ps. 103:3, 10-13) Some may feel unworthy of Jehovah’s forgiveness. Actually, we are all unworthy. The apostle Paul understood that he was “not worthy of being called an apostle.” And yet, he added: “By God’s undeserved kindness I am what I am.” (1 Cor. 15:9, 10) When we repent of our sins, Jehovah forgives us. Why? Not because we deserve it, but because he loves us. If you are disturbed by feelings of unworthiness, remember that Jehovah provided the ransom, not for sinless people, but for repentant sinners.—Luke 5:32; 1 Tim. 1:15. w25.01 26-27 ¶3-4

  8. Hubble Captures M88 on Journey to Center of Virgo Cluster By Goddard Space Flight Center 29 May 2026 The focus of this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image is an active spiral galaxy on a journey lasting hundreds of millions of years. The galaxy Messier 88 (M88), also known as NGC 4501, is located about 63 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices (Berenice’s Hair). M88 is an active galaxy, which means that its center harbors a supermassive black hole that is snacking on gas and dust. Astronomers estimate the black hole is around 100 million times as massive as the Sun, and it appears to be powering outflows of gas from the galaxy’s center.

  9. Comedian Marty Feldman once said: "You offer a sincere compliment on a great mustache and suddenly she's not your friend."
  10. If we have any non-witness acquaintances who work in media or certain academic fields, it would be good to mention the new Global Communications/Pressroom, and let them know they can follow it via ig and tt it’s nice that witnesses want to “elevate” the accounts, but ultimately we want this to be an outreach and ministry towards those in the world, especially those in the 3 categories mentioned on the GC page it might also be of interest to non witnesses who (1) are interested in freedom of religion and (2) are already using one of the two platforms we’re now on
  11. Titeuf is a popular European comic strip and one of the characters is a Jehovah's Witness (he only appears in this one story though IIRC) In the series "The Practice", Rebecca is revealed as being a Jehovah's Witness right when she needs a blood transfusion, but the other attorneys at her firm argue that her personal practices clearly indicate that she is not a Witness and therefore should receive a transfusion. So it's never actually confirmed whether she considers herself to be one or not. A scene from South Park shows Butters being visited by two Jehovah's Witnesses An episode from the french comedy series Les Lascars has two Jehovah's Witnesses visiting a man pretending to be a satanist so that they leave him alone, but the episode has male nudity in it so I'm not going to post a clip
  12. The Family Guy pilot and the first episode feature a Jemimah's Witness, preaching door to door about pancakes Another Family Guy episode has Peter Griffin pretending to be a Jehovah's Witness A Simpsons episode has two Jehovah's Witnesses ringing on the Simpsons' door A main character in Community is a Jehovah's Witnesses, as revealed in an episode where christmas is discussed The Watchmen comic has a scene where two Witnesses are witnessing about the end of the world, Watchtower in hand I can't find a clip but Otto Aquarius is a character from the Venture Bros series, and he mentions having converted to the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses https://venturebrothers.fandom.com/wiki/Otto_Aquarius
  13. Clue is one of my top 5 favorite movies. Could this scene POSSIBLY be a reference to JW's? Also im kinda mad i thought of this as a connection despite watching it constsntly growing up https://youtu.be/imowsl1i0_s?si=buPwRtJtzgd8kbHU
  14. Never have I ever observed an anomalous astrophysical event whose spectral characteristics, relativistic dynamics, nucleosynthetic signatures, and gravitational interactions could not ultimately be accommodated within the prevailing framework of contemporary theoretical physics.
  15. never have I ever answered a question on Quora, although the answers even to set-up questions seem to be ones that would turn people towards Bible study. Any comments about Quora?
  16. One of our elders is getting the "Identify Yourself" message. Not only that but what he was seeing in his NWS is an updated version but in the admin section he was still showing with an older version. I tried your steps which are logical and should have worked but it didn't. I next had him uninstall and reinstall NWS. That fixed the version issue. He is showing with the current version now. It did not fix the "Identify Yourself" issue though which he still gets when opening the program. Anyone have a suggestion?
  17. Jackie Robinson was not the first Major leaguer of African descent he was the first to have a season contract. Before 1885 at least three African-American men played in the major leagues: William Edward White, played one game for the Providence Grays in 1879; Moses Fleetwood Walker, played for the Toledo Blue Stockings of the American Association between May 1 and September 4, 1884; and his brother, Weldy Walker, played five games with the Toledo club between July 15 and August 6, 1884.
  18. I, first person singular, is often used in writing; but other choices are available especially when choosing the narrator for a written piece.
  19. Well said Brother Ken. I love these points " Bearing things with blazing hope " (Indeed where would we be without hope?) And " the virtue which can transmute the hardest trial into glory because beyond the pain it sees the goal" We all need this beautiful quality, especially as the days get tougher. May Jehovah help us all strengthen this quality... Endurance🙏
  20. WHAT IS ENDURANCE? "In the Bible, enduring means more than simply putting up with trials or adversity. Endurance involves our mind and heart, or the way we react to hardships. A person who endures manifests courage, steadfastness, and patience. Endurance is “the spirit which can bear things, not simply with resignation, but with blazing hope,” says one reference work. “It is the quality which keeps a man on his feet with his face to the wind. It is the virtue which can transmute the hardest trial into glory because beyond the pain it sees the goal.”" --- w16 April, p. 14

    • Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      There were many JW artists I followed on Instagram, they created beautiful Christian illustrations. But for some reason many deleted their accounts out of the blue, no trace left.
       
      I don't know why and it makes me very sad

      Is jw_pressroom on IG legit? Friends I know are liking a post on and following it. There is nothing officially on our Press Room page nor is it in our News page or a headline about it. I’m treating as junk but does anyone have details?

      It's time for me to take a break from JWTalk for just a bit. We have our Regional Convention starting tomorrow! For those of us confined to watching the convention on a screen (rather than in person), at least they give us a choice of watching the recorded version from the US, or the live streamed version of our own convention (with the local brothers doing the parts). Because of the convention, I likely won't have time to peek in here at all.
       
      So, enjoy the weekend everyone!

      Carlos, I don’t think that is correct. I read a lengthy post on this forum from a brother who stated that he was one of the developers. It would be great if the devs would identify themselves in the forum.

      I was just talking to a brother whose son is in video services in the US. They are reducing staff and even discussing downsizing Ramapo - because they are able to use AI for so much of the artwork and videos.
       
      He was telling me that what used to take weeks is now taking days and with only a few people instead of a large staff. More and more are getting sent back into the field. They are even able reduce the number of people needed for acting out scenes. That is a lot of donated funds saved and more workers for the field. It won't surprise me if we see an update soon describing all the ways the GB has approved for AI usage.
       
      I know they will always have humans to review, edit and approve the final product; but most of our pictures and videos will be at least partially if not fully AI generated.
