To destroy the harlot BtG -
Remind me what was it about with 10 kings getting power for 1 hour? -
You know, that could certainly be possible.
-
I don’t think it would affect our form of govt (ceremonially a monarchy, but also a constitutional democracy/parliament). In fact majority of European countries are still technically monarchies and have their own king/queen, but they have little power over the 3 branches of government.

That's bad because I have hypoglycemia and I have a shaky spell and need quick food right now or else.

As a side thought - if Canada becomes a member of the EU, could that strengthen the bond between the US and the UK since the UK left the EU? I know this is kind of a 'back door' way of keeping the UK and US joined at the hip. Also, will it have any impact on King Charles III as the head of state for both Canada and the UK? -
What is your first "where were you when"?

Attending Yankee Stadium for International Convention in 1953 Baptism 1955 in San Jose California In school when announced that Sputnik 1 was successfully launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957 Back to Yankee Stadium to attend the International Convention in 1958; this time working in kitchen (Food Service) washing pots, pans and food trays. And watching the U.S. Military taking a tour to see what Divine organization looks like. 😊 -
More globally influential: the UN, because it is near-universal and central to diplomacy, legitimacy, humanitarian coordination, and peace/security. More legally authoritative over its own members in everyday governance: the EU. More binding on individuals and domestic law: overwhelmingly the EU. “Giving up power”: EU states delegate/coordinate some concrete governmental powers; UN members mostly undertake international obligations while retaining ordinary domestic governing authority. Question EU UN Who belongs? 27 states, by treaty choice Nearly every sovereign state Can it make binding rules? Yes, in treaty-authorized fields Usually no; General Assembly mainly recommends Do rules bind individuals/businesses? Often yes—EU regulations can apply directly; people can invoke certain EU rights in national courts Normally no—UN obligations run between states Can it override conflicting national law? EU-law primacy means national courts must generally disapply conflicting national rules in areas of EU competence No comparable general supremacy over domestic law Enforcement Commission, national authorities/courts, Court of Justice, possible financial penalties Relies chiefly on states; Security Council enforcement is limited and can be vetoed - Today

That’s how I feel too. I’d love the right to travel to virtually any part of Europe and work there freely.
-
I’d say strong yes, because the power it has is binding on all of its member states. That’s a large reason why the UK left, because they wanted to reverse they previous act of having giving up sovereignty on some issues. Definitely. The EU courts and regulatory commission are absolute. The EU acts like a single country in many ways.
-
From my perspective I feel that EU has impact on my life in Poland. There are some nationalists who are against it but I like border free passage and access to public health care while traveling.
-
This is an interesting point worth discussing. Does the EU have more power than the UN? Is the EU stronger? More authoritative? More binding on individual members? Currently every country is a member of the UN yet we feel this membership is not "giving their power" to the UN. -
Interesting. Stay tuned, the best is yet to come... -
I just find it interesting how when a country makes accession to EU member state status, it literally “gives its power” to the EU— meaning, the country fully gives up quite a few rights that a sovereign nation normally has, and gives those up to the EU. The country is then no longer sovereign in many spheres, such as laws, economics, etc.

The fall of Babylon the Great is not simply a political development that Jehovah later uses; it is an act that Jehovah himself brings about through the political powers. Jehovah actually inspires them to carry out his will. Revelation 17:16 says that “the ten horns” and “the wild beast” will turn against the harlot, hate her, devastate her, and burn her with fire. Then verse 17 explains why they act in united fashion: “God put it into their hearts to carry out his thought.” So the nations will be the visible agents of Babylon the Great’s destruction, but Jehovah is the One directing the outcome and executing his judgment on false religion. This does not mean the political rulers will consciously be serving Jehovah or understand his purpose. Rather, Jehovah will maneuver matters so that their own decisions and united action fulfill his declared purpose. Revelation 18:4-8 also makes clear that Babylon’s destruction is a righteous judgment from Jehovah. Therefore, it would be reasonable to say that the fall of Babylon the Great is an action inspired and directed by Jehovah, though carried out by the world’s political powers. Revelation does not identify which nation or bloc will take the lead, so it is best not to attach the prophecy specifically to the EU or any current political development.
-
Since the entire world under Satan's power is going to play a role in the great tribulation, then the answer is yes. It's not like some countries are going to not be involved in the destruction of false religion and the final attack on true worship. Will one country or a group of countries take the lead? Who knows? It's possible some countries might be more eager or zealous than others. It's also possible they all act with equal effort when that time comes. The Bible presents the efforts as a united front. The wild beast as a whole (all nations) attack the harlot. All the nations turn against Jehovah. All the kings of the earth are destroyed at Armageddon.
-
While I appreciate the humour, I was wondering if anyone thinks the EU could play a role in international affairs that relate to the great tribulation, the fall of Babylon the Great, or other prophecies.

I’m imagining the chosen Canadian joining in on the first group hug, “Sorry, excuse me, sorry, sorry, …” -

The 31 Out-of-this-World Winners of Astronomy Photographer of the Year By Jeremy Gray. 17 Sept 2026 Photographer of the Year Alobaidly’s winning photo, The Quiet Predator, is a beautiful look at the Shark Nebula. The Shark Nebula (LDN 1235) is nearly 650 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. It is a dark nebula comprised of dense, starlight-blocking dust, which creates its striking shark-like shape.

Firstly I'm surprised you have registered addresses in W.A. Besides that it's difficult to distinguish the boundaries between blocks. It so happens you have a public walkway to work out the boundaries between block 4 and 5. However we sometimes don't have that sort of landmark. BTW how did you add those large red text block numbers? -
It appears for me and on 4.1.6

I always wondered why Eurovision isn’t mentioned by Paul in 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

I've created an internal message board with Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini to round-robin discussions and challenge the best ways to accomplish tasks (as well as a few offline local models). It has helped me with research and deepens my love of learning and constantly makes me awe at the Bible. I recently asked them to come together in consensus to evaluate how they "perceive" me in regards to being one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Here is that initial response: -
all elders were having the issue ... took your advice and now all fixed. I've given same advice to others when glitches occur but it didn't occur to me 😒... thanks. Tortuga -
I don't have the answer, but you might try changing the view in NWS so no one can see the inactive, send it, then change the view back to elders and send it again. I think that would be the NWP App Settings page in NWS and it's the Spiritual Information in the Elders column under the ME section. I've heard that toggling things can fix them. Are all the elders having the same problem or is it just your device? If it's just your device, then the NWP>About>Refresh Data may help. Let us know if any of that helps.

Post in 1975 End of World ?
jwhess posted a post in a topic,
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.”

Ai has been in the news lately as an existential threat to world…as a growing menace to society. I couldn’t help but draw a comparison to the menace to society that appeared in Noah’s day…the Nephilim/angels. The people of Noah’s day were helpless against the power and influence of rebellious angels and the Nephilim. We too, (if we are to believe the power and influence of Ai) maybe as helpless as those in Noah’s day.· 2 replies
Is Ai another indication (2Tim 1-6) as to where we are in the stream of time? With all that’s going on in the world (Matt 24:7) could Ai be the “tipping point” in harmony with Gen 6:5?
We know Jehovah did not let the menacing influences take over in Noah’s day. He will soon end the Satanic (Ai et.al) influences that permeate our world today and bring an end this system of things.
I will continue to enhance, nurture and fortify my relationship with Jehovah, Jesus and my brothers and sisters.

Hello again, everyone!· 0 replies
Imperfection has a way of getting the best of me sometimes—I had actually forgotten that I had signed up on this site.
A short introduction: I reside in northern New Mexico and attend the Chamisa Taos Congregation. I have been baptized since 1986.
Expressing myself and sharing about who I am here is a bit new to me, but I’m looking forward to getting to meet new friends

Hello my dear brother jwhess (john)! I really appreciate reading your comments. I also really enjoy your experiences and biblical research. I hope everything is well with you. May Jehovah bless you and may you soon return to commenting. I've missed you these past few days.· 1 reply

I have been going through some situations lately, and honestly, it really discouraged me. I became less active in attending meetings and doing some of the things I normally do. I was feeling very down.· 1 reply
But something happened that really helped me regain my strength.
I started seeing videos on TikTok about the recent earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters happening in different parts of Asia and other places. Seeing all those things reminded me of the words of Jesus about earthquakes, famines, pestilences, and other events that would happen during the conclusion of this system of things. He also reminded us not to panic or become frightened when we see these things happening.
That really made me stop and think.
I began meditating more on Jehovah's prophecies and the things we have been taught through his organization. I realized again how grateful I am to be among Jehovah's people, because we have been taught to understand what these events mean. Many people see these things happening but may not understand their significance.
For me, seeing all those events was a reminder that Jehovah's promises are real and that we are living in the time the Bible warned us about.
And somehow, I felt my strength coming back.
My faith came back. I started attending meetings again and became more active in my worship of Jehovah. I realized that even when I feel weak or discouraged, Jehovah has not forgotten me.
I am truly grateful for the love, care, and patience Jehovah has continued to show me. I am also grateful for the reminders he has placed in my heart at a time when I really needed them.
I just wanted to share this because sometimes we need a little reminder to look up, strengthen our faith, and remember why we trust in Jehovah in the first place. ❤️
