  1. Yesterday
  2. Colossians 3:15 "Also, let the peace of the Christ rule in your hearts, for you were called to that peace in one body. And show yourselves thankful."
  3. But only a few dozens, maybe around one hundred, participate actively. People keep coming and going.
  4. The write up says that was 2014 …. Perhaps a convention? Not FIFA I don’t think 🤔
  5. 2025-2026 Circuit Assembly Program With Branch Representative theme is “Hear What the Spirit Says to the Congregations” based on Revelation 3:22 2025-2026 Circuit Assembly Program With Circuit Overseer theme is “Worship With Spirit and Truth” based on John 4:24 2026 Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses theme is "ETERNAL HAPPINESS" with daily themes Friday ~ “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need” based on Matthew 5:3 Saturday ~ “There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving” Acts 20:35 Sunday ~ “Happy are your eyes because they see and your ears because they hear” Matthew 13:16
  6. Sunday, June 21 If any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him keep asking God.—Jas. 1:5. Jehovah promises to give us the wisdom to discern whether a certain path will please him. He gives such wisdom “generously to all and without reproaching.” Once you have prayed for Jehovah’s direction, pay careful attention to his answer. To illustrate: If you got lost while traveling, you might ask a local resident for help. But would you then walk away before he had a chance to reply? Of course not. You would listen carefully to his directions. Similarly, after you ask Jehovah for wisdom, try to discern his answer by finding out which Bible laws and principles apply to your situation. For example, when deciding whether to attend a social gathering, you might consider what the Bible says about wild parties, bad associations, and the need to put Kingdom interests ahead of your personal preferences.—Matt. 6:33; Rom. 13:13; 1 Cor. 15:33. w25.01 16 ¶6-7
  7. Am I missing something here. 2015 the way the truth then light what about this year. Have I confused everybody. I did speak about the theme of the assembly for this year and then I went on about publications. But it was the themed the assembly I was interested in.
  8. Yeah, I tried it out and the concept is solid. I also didn't see any data being collected.
  9. Is that why I have almost 144,000 reactions? 🤣
  10. It's called gamification. "Gamification is the process of integrating game design elements and principles (such as points, badges, and leaderboards) into non-game contexts in order to increase user engagement and motivation." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamification
  11. A little bit more than a congregation then more like a small assembly. That's good!
  12. Oh dear, thought I was going to win a cuddly 🧸 Yes there is those kind of things on the site Duolingo that I am on it doesn't mean anything. And there is no subscription here. " Give your gifts and secret"
  13. Well there over 9000 members in total.
  14. How many brothers and sisters on this side it seems like a large congregation size of all over the world. Well some of it 😁
  15. Basically it means nothing ... no free trips or extra days of everlasting life .. Just a feature in the commercial program.
  16. Hello What are the badges that you earn on this site? What is the purpose of them? And the other awards? Is there some kind of incentive to it?
  17. Interesting pick up ...... I wonder if that means the United States Branch territory will get a branch-wide live streamed special talk/s each year?
  18. I believe it was Lessons You Can Learn From the Bible back in 2017 ? https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200276167#h=1465 https://jwtalk.net/topic/30972-official-spoiler-2017-regional-convention/page/6/#comment-474432
  19. 2015 - Jesus—The Way, the Truth, the Life
  20. I don't think we've had an actual book released at the annual convention for quite a number of years now... The Walk Courageously With God book was released at the Annual Meeting in October 2025 https://jwtalk.net/topic/59094-2025-annual-meeting-parts-1/page/26/#comment-1070633 So the question is, what was the last book that was actually released at the Annual Convention?
  21. I've been to both and no there was no release at the Circuit Assemblies. There haven't been for a long time. The convention last year was the book you have or linked here https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/walk-courageously-with-god/ I do not think there is a book release this year. It is just the videos - as far as I know. Welcome to the site.
  22. Searched a bit around for fact checking, found these reports. UNITED STATES COMMISSION on INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM from November 2020 https://www.uscirf.gov/sites/default/files/2020 Issue Update - Jehovahs Witnesses.pdf UNITED STATES COMMISSION on INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM from November 2024 https://www.uscirf.gov/sites/default/files/2024-11/2024 Jehovah's Witness Issue Update.pdf The specific Bitterwinter quote I didnt find, but needs further reading.
  23. Here is the link to the YouTube video: CHAPTER 1: THE CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION The Cambrian Explosion represents one of the most abrupt changes in the entire fossil record. Below the Cambrian, some relatively simple organisms are known, but above the Cambrian, an “explosion” of complex animals appears for the first time. DARWIN’S DILEMMA begins with computer animation of some of these creatures, then tells the story of the Burgess Shale in Canada where spectacular fossils of Cambrian animals came to light in the early 20th century. DARWIN’S DILEMMA is based on the book Darwin’s Doubt by Dr Stephen Meyer. Production was completed in 2009. The documentary presents fossil evidence that defies Darwinian evolution and supports Meyer’s argument that the Cambrian fossil record gives strong evidence for intelligent design. https://youtu.be/g-C3ifVAnrQ?is=t2dWwDoPIqddhwEH
  24. The latest update #4 has a cross to Harold Corkern. He says the following: "In April 2026, the United States received a branch visit for the first time since 2014. The U.S. branch is unique in that we have five different complexes. We have Wallkill, Patterson, Warwick, Fishkill, and San Juan. The Governing Body decided that from now on, the United States will receive a branch visit each year focusing on one of our Bethel complexes." [Brooklyn does not get a ment ion.]

    • 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.”

      Sniff, THE turtle has turned himself into Prince Charming. Somehow the mutation has gone horribly wrong.

      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
