In the November QFR, it says more directly that the "wild beast" , venting their hatred, will plunder her wealth and expose her wickedness. This has been suggested in the past, but only as a possible reason the wild beast would attack. Other possible reason is meddling in politics. This adjustment answers the question of "Why" the nations give their authority to the UN. To plunder religions vast wealth, as we have long suspected. Rev 17:17 then 1 Thess 5:3 . Will the common person be distraught to see their church closed and their religion go out of business? Maybe some will. But maybe the majority will feel a sense of liberation, because their church has been a burden on them. A reason to proclaim 'Peace and Security'! Notice in the image: Politicians and one military man. No religious characters!!!!!! They are in hiding . . "And people will in fact say to the mountains "Cover us!" and to the hills "Fall over us!" Hosea 10:8, Luke 23:30, Rev 6:16.

nothing new here

You will likely need to wait for about a year or so. It’s very possible that your congregation won’t receive an allocated number of the new tracts until late 2026. Even then, the supply could be limited, and you might not be able to get one easily over the counter. Still, keep in mind that things can change between now and then, and we may receive them earlier than expected.

Did anyone notice the footnote at the end of the article? Footnote: "The wording that the apostle Paul uses allows for the possibility that this could be, not one, but a series of proclamations"..Any thoughts?

Hope to see you on Qapla chat (again?). I'm in NY, but about 11 generations from being a native New Yawkah. It's nice to see some locals zooming. Yes, this is a tough day for poignant reasons. One of my cousins (from Fl) will call back soon. I have no family members in the truth, but we go way back with nostalgic memories. Some times that helps. Thanks for the good wishes. I have been able to send some scriptures to B Students today. Makes the day seem productive.

Wednesday, November 19 Be in subjection to the superior authorities.—Rom. 13:1. Many people acknowledge that we need the secular governments and that we should obey at least some of the laws set by these “superior authorities.” But those same people may hesitate to obey a law that seems unfair or appears to require too much. The Bible acknowledges that human governments cause suffering, are under Satan’s control, and will soon be destroyed. (Ps. 110:5, 6; Eccl. 8:9; Luke 4:5, 6) It also tells us that “whoever opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of God.” Our relative subjection to the superior authorities is part of Jehovah’s temporary arrangement to maintain order. Therefore, we must “render to all their dues,” including taxes, respect, and obedience. (Rom. 13:1-7) We may view a law as being inconvenient, unfair, or costly to obey. But we obey Jehovah, and he tells us to obey these authorities as long as they do not ask us to break his commands.—Acts 5:29. w23.10 8 ¶9-10

It is now in JW Library app!!!!!

A break is what you give yourself my brother,this system never gives you a break. The good thing is, happiness does not really depend on what is happening to you,it depends on how you choose to respond. Feeling bad or disturbed may seem like an automatic and unavoidable response to disappointments,but in reality this response is actually our choice and we just allow it to happen since you know we feel it's unavoidable. I closely studied the connection between disappointments and the feeling it produces in us,I realize that we actually have a choice on how to feel in the face of disappointment and unless we train our minds to choose something else for ourselves,the common connection or pathway will simply apply. Fighting the negatives requires a great deal of training my brother,but it is achievable to choose to be happy no matter what we're experiencing.it requires you to develop your thinking on the fundamental principle of happiness:we don't choose what happens,but we can choose how we respond. You have made the best choice to simplify your life(by quiting one job) so that you can give more attention to Godly devotion,this is a very wise decision Bro Steve,living simple leaves you with very few things to worry about,that in itself is peace-assuring.

OFTEN One fare takes every nickel. takes

Anyone know when we will be getting supplies of the new tracts...just looking at buying a display stand to put them on,

I'm sorry to hear about the lost you've experienced with your husband and son. (Psalm 34:18) Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted. And I'm sorry for the other trials you've experienced. I've been a victim of identity fraud also, so I empathize with you. May Jehovah's spirit bring you comfort and peace.

Yes I love the ministry. I've been doing more letter writing lately, and informal witnessing every chance I get. But I went out in the door-to-door ministry last week. And I had a wonderful time as always. Thanks for the reminders of Jehovah's gifts and His many displays of love. I love you all too, and thank you for your words of encouragement, they are greatly appreciated.

JW.org doesn't have February study edition watchtower yet for me.

When you wrote "So when someone says “I can’t seem to catch a break,” they’re expressing the fatigue of constant setbacks." You definitely described how I've been feeling for quite a while. But I appreciate your positive angle of looking at matters. I definitely appreciate my blessings and never forget all Jehovah does for me. Not a day goes by that I don't thank Him for all the good in my life. In my original post, I did say "I try to focus on the positive... but a lot of negative things occur that try to disrupt my peace." So I was acknowledging that theres positive things in my life... including having peace from Jehovah. But maybe I could've emphasized that a little better in my original post. As far as your friends, that's wonderful they're in SKE! But I'm sorry to hear about their living situation with no stove. May I suggest they get an Instant pot. They can get 1 on Amazon for about $100. I have 2 that I use 95% more than my stove. They cook food in a fraction of the time a stove/ oven does. They save on space, energy cost, and clean up time. Maybe this can be a great help for their current living arrangements.

Yes, even today!

Just got it now.

Can someone who knows confirm that the Watchtower is ready to be uploaded to our website?

I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you've been experiencing. I've had my fair share of car issues lately as well. I appreciate the Ecclesiastes 9:11 reference you made. Great reminder to keep matters in perspective. I hope things work out with you.

Well well well looks like the security council is becoming functional after all this stalling time
