Forgot to rember this was here.

Hope you have recovered by now, Sis Linda.

That's bad b/c they are flying to Wales and have no auto awaiting for them.

Let's do fast friends everlasting, Frank

A few days ago, a brother told me that the brazilian branch is waiting for a specific printer to print these tracts. If any arrive soon, they may have been printed at another branch.

New issue after the update this morning. When trying to open a map in the NW app I get this error message with a blank screen. It is across all publishers best I can ascertain. I tried changing the map settings but no joy. Any ideas from the brilliant minds out there?

@On the huh are you getting all nine? or just one or two of them?

In the USA branch the S-147 announcements form for October 2025 said (point #3): It may take a year. Our congregation shows one tract pending since October and another pending since the middle of November. No other tracts are showing as requested. The announcements stated that we are not to "request" them, just wait for the congregation's "assignment".

1) Does this imply that if the cry happens before the destruction of BtG, the destruction of the nations won't be imminent? 2) If the destruction of BtG starts the GT and the end comes right after the cry, doesn't that imply there would need to be a pause after BtG is destroyed and before the cry is made so that there would be a time period we could even call the GT? In other words, wouldn't the GT be extremely short if the cry happened right after BtG is destroyed and that brings the end immediately? It sounds like the GT could last for mere days. Is that possible? 3) I think it makes the most sense (of course I can be wrong) that the cry would be a series of announcements. That way they could cry peace when they destroy BtG, and the announcement would actually make sense to them, and then they could continue to make the cry until the timing is right for Armageddon. That gives breathing room for the GT to last anywhere from days to years and the Nations would still be destroyed immediately after the last cry, without rushing the timeline. I'm mentally preparing for the GT to be years, but I'll hope for days.

I don’t know if the end comes in a few months or years (the sooner the better) but all the recent clarifications show it’s really close.

You are in Merseyside, Britain The brother who says he is getting a delivery this week is in East Anglia, Britain The official word from the Britain Branch simply said: "It may take some months before your congregation receives these consignments." Thus for Britain it appears hopeful that congregations will get the tracts over the next month or two.... 😀 Other countries/lands may get them months and months later, or even earlier 🤷‍♂️ (though no one on this forum has said they've had them already?) The brother who said 'a year' is in an undisclosed location (likely not Britain?) and actually just covered his bases by saying "You will likely need to wait for about a year or so... things can change between now and then, and we may receive them earlier than expected." 🤷‍♂️

Very apt, Carlos, as always

That's the problem of asking in an internet forum. It's not like we are an official channel or anything. The friends who are replying know as much as you do. Imagine asking a question from all the attendees to a circuit assembly. How many different answers will you receive? Well, there are more members here than attendees at the assembly.

And may that always prove to be.

Many of the brothers and sisters on here will remember, back in the day, when Rom 13:1 was understood to refer to Jehovah and Christ Jesus, and many spent a long time persuading bible studies that this was what it meant. When my wife was a youngster pioneering, she had such a call and had basically convinced the person that this understanding must be right, just at the time when our brothers confirmed that a prayerful review proved the true meaning to refer to the national governments as the 'superior authorities', and she had to go back to this call with the scriptural basis for the change. To the student's credit, the change was accepted.

You are very keen, Hannah, I'm sure your new congregation will benefit from your ministry zeal.

I’ve been printing them out at home and using them already but very excited to get the “official” ones

A couple of questions please 🙂 Are you getting the same quantity for each of the nine tracts? Approximately how many of each tract are you receiving 'per-publisher' in your congregation? TIA

Which is exactly why we did the display that we did - and the display with the Make Disciples brochure/s we have is also good for using in conversations with publishers about the new tracts 😀 https://jwtalk.net/topic/62012-new-tracts-when-will-they-arrive/#comment-1076152

After the fall of Babylon does make sense, then sudden destruction!

We will be making little "starter packs" of the tracts 10x9 for each publisher, maybe a few more for the pioneers. Many publishers are keen to receive them and use them, but most do not realise the purpose of the tracts - that they are designed to start conversations in line with the Appendix A of the brochure. I can just foresee many simply giving the tracts away and will go through the tracts in no time. The AM won't be out till Jan/Feb that explains that, so a little explanation might be needed when we get them. And even though we can order more after this delivery, who knows how long it will be before we get more, as they work hard to send supplies to all congregations.

So what is being explained to us now is the following, if I understand it correctly: A declaration of peace and security can come either because of Revelation 17:13, or as a satanic lie. We do not know at this point what the cause of the declaration will be. That is the difference. This leads us to understand 1 Thessalonians 5:2,3 as saying that Jehovah’s day begins before the declaration of “peace and security,” because Jehovah has put his thought into the hearts of the nations and Babylon the Great is destroyed. Then a sudden destruction comes upon the nations immediately after this declaration (which has been preceded by the nations giving their power to the UN, which has eliminated false religion). The other scenario would be that Satan’s world itself brings about a declaration of “peace and security,” and after that Jehovah puts it into the hearts of the nations to give their power to the UN. Then the great tribulation begins, which will lead to sudden destruction for all parts of Satan’s system (starting with false religion, the nations, etc.). Is that how you understand it as well?
