  1. Past hour
  2. I have been distracted by a recurring earworm. I happened to see the name of a (popular)recording artist and was reminded of an occurrence from many years ago. My mother used to come home with a bunch of people from a bar, last call, and get me up to sing acapella to her drunken friends. I had a brief song that used to work on interrupting that earworm, but am looking for a kingdom song as my previous tactic is not completely successful. Most Kingdom music is emotionally moving to me and I am looking for something that is just joyfully positive without having to overthink the message. Any suggestions?
  3. Saturday, June 6 In all the nations, the good news has to be preached first.—Mark 13:10. Think back to how you felt when you first learned the truth from God’s Word. You discovered that your heavenly Father loves you, that he wants you to be part of his family of worshippers, that he has promised to end pain and suffering, that you can hope to see your dead loved ones come back to life in a new world—and much more. (Mark 10:29, 30; John 5:28, 29;Rom. 8:38, 39; Rev. 21:3, 4) Those truths warmed your heart. (Luke 24:32) You loved what you were learning, and you could not keep those precious truths to yourself! (Compare Jeremiah 20:9.) When love for Bible truth takes root in our heart, we cannot keep silent. (Luke 6:45) We feel like the first-century disciples of Jesus who said: “We cannot stop speaking about the things we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4:20) We love the truth so much that we want to share it with as many as possible. w24.05 15 ¶5; 16 ¶7
  4. Today
  5. This Makes Identifying Disciples Possible D I T T Y
  6. Yes, some additional context would be great. it could be also stated that you can but you don’t have to follow and share the content - sometimes a few friends can be confused.
  7. I understand that @Canyon_1985 was afraid that some may copy and manipulate content. I don’t think friends would do that but our opposers will attempt tondo that for sure. But Jehovah is in command so let’s not worry about it.
  8. It's been over 10 years since Jade Helm. Do you see an abnormal number of ice cream trucks around abandoned malls? 🤔🤣
  9. I saw this quote and it made me think of areas I'm trying to work on. And I thought it could help others trying to make adjustments or changes in life. Here are different variations of the quote. "Insanity Is Doing The Same Thing Over And Over Again And Expecting Different Results" " Only A Fool Keeps Doing The Same Thing Over And Over And Expects A Different Outcome" "If You Keep Doing What You've Always Done, You'll Keep Getting What You've Always Gotten." Hmmmm! Iconic!!
  10. We've been dealing with military training operations in LA/OC the last few days. Mostly from 8p to 1a. Little to no broad public notice. It's been leaving some people settled. I only hear the helicopters but even some brothers and sisters local to me close to one of the sites said they could hear the helicopters, gun fire and flash bangs. I could only hear helicopters. Unsettling to be awoken like that. https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/video-military-training-exercise-helicopters-industry/3900378/ https://abc7.com/story/nighttime-military-training-exercises-anger-pasadena-residents/19235509/ https://www.longbeachlocalnews.com/2026/06/05/military-training-exercise-brings-helicopters-explosions-to-east-long-beach/ Also, they claim it's in preparation for the World Cup and supposed threats. Who knows.
  11. They can't edit it as you suggest. Only the brothers at Bethel have control.
  12. Sorry got that mixed up, not social media platforms but other BigTech like Microsoft and Google.
  13. Carmen Olsterfield used little doilies T M I D P
  14. Your not a bad person, the org using it for this purpose isnt a recommendation or stimulance for us using it also for other purposes. For my personal use I despise these platforms, the surveillance capitalism it brings, the wholesale influencing of people and governments by the power its ownership gives, the billions the owners spend on weapon industry, lobbying against mankind and the destruction of our environment because of the computing power, energy and water etc. I know only Jehovah can solve this so I be patience. Doesnt mean I support it in the meantime. Our dependence on those systems is also imaginary. So I avoid them, but I dont stumble if others use FB, IG, WA, X, TT etc.
  15. ...It is to provide public information to journalists, government officials, academics, and the public. This can mitigate the damage that is caused by slander, such as negative public perception, which can lead to legal persecution and/or hate crimes. In short: PR (public relations)
  16. Thank you my brother for expressing this thought so well! 💞
  17. New EMCWF plumes forecast, a bit stronger than the May 1 forecast. The average the models are showing seem to be around the +3.0C above average range which would be historic and into the uncharted territory, and since the spring predictability barrier is pretty much over, this forecast should be taken seriously.
  18. Thank you Brother John and Manfred for this info, much appreciated. It's hard to imagine that Ukraine didn't have a sign-language on JW.ORG but happy that it is there now. next one: Punjabi (Shahmukhi) Roman Pakistan Content: New Tracts (in Latin Alphabet) pnb-latn There's no data of how many people in Pakistan read Punjabi (Shahmukhi) in Latin alphabet
  19. The cart work started as a pilot program and I'm sure some felt the same way you do. The idea of standing in public for hours where people could ridicule and abuse you probably sounded like a bad idea. No doubt some didn't think it would work. Here is a nice video about how that pilot program turned out. https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=share&wtlocale=E&lank=pub-jwb_201707_7_VIDEO
  20. This is what I have always thought- and I speak all the English ☺️. I've been trying to figure out what was so upsetting about anyone showing or receiving sympathy/ compassion.. to anyone
  21. It's legitimate they announced it at my hall. The thing I'm worried about is what if the younger generation gets to it and edits it into a meme or ai generate it to say something werid
  22. I think it may be like a news channel for non believers,and news reporters. We will get the content that the account posts from updates and jw broadcasting. But my friend in my hall said she follows the account which should be OK to do

    • 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.”

      I think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)

      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.
