  1. Past hour
  2. Is there a reason why you take this out of context? Actually it does matter because it’s relevant to where we are regarding the bigger picture… and this thread is regarding peace and security
  3. Friday, June 12 This is the work of God, that you exercise faith in the one whom he sent.—John 6:29. Exercising faith in Jesus is needed in order to “have everlasting life.” (John 3:16-18, 36; 17:3) Many Jews did not accept Jesus’ teaching about a new “work of God.” They asked him: “What are you performing as a sign, so that we may see it and believe you?” (John 6:30) They mentioned that their ancestors in Moses’ day had received manna, which could be likened to bread. (Neh. 9:15; Ps. 78:24, 25) Clearly, their minds were still centered on being satisfied with literal bread. They even failed to press Jesus for clarification when he next spoke of “the true bread from heaven,” which was like life-giving manna from heaven. (John 6:32) They were so focused on their physical needs that they ignored the spiritual truths that Jesus was trying to share with them. w24.12 5-6 ¶10-11
  4. I read quick and thought it was an attack on BTS, I was like awwwh
  5. there was an article on the home page like a week ago but I forgot to check it out
  6. Today
  7. That would be interesting but I don't think we will get any direction about AI on an update. One day we might get some information about how AI is being used, but I wouldn't think it would be an Update.
  8. That’s the main bug for me, on Apple devices. My iPad can take 10 seconds to open the Library tab. My (newer) iPhone and Mac are quicker. From memory, this started to happen 3 or 4 years ago in May/June when the app had a major update. (Each device got that problem immediately on updating. All had been fine until that point, with over 100GB of files.) I assumed at the time a buggy new framework/library or something was being used and that it would be fixed in time, but the problem remains.
  9. Sea turtles are air-breathing reptiles with lungs located beneath their carapace and along the vertebral column. Sea turtles can hold their breath for varying durations depending on activity and species. While actively swimming, they typically dive for 20 to 40 minutes, but when resting, they can remain underwater for several hours.
  10. How quick will that be? Would there be enough time during? How peaceful will the world be during the destruction of false religion? Destruction isn't peaceful. Nuclear weapons might be used. Thousands or millions of people might die. Would anyone sincerely say that would be a time of peace and security?
  11. Nope. Why actually quoting someone from years ago when this belief was clarified recently?
  12. Few years ago an elder was giving a talk about the end times and he said that the Cry of peace and security was the same as in Noah's day when God shut the door to the ark
  13. Soooo, you're saying there's a chance! I'll take that as a definite maybe!
  14. recent issue of The Watchtower,a Jehovah will soon put into the hearts of “the ten horns” (all the political powers) “his thought,” namely, that they give their power and authority to the “scarlet-colored wild beast”—the United Nations. This beast is also called “the image of the wild beast.” (Rev. 13:14, 15; 17:3, 16, 17) Then “the ten horns” and the newly empowered wild beast will remove false religion worldwide. Will the nations proclaim “peace and security”b before or after the destruction of false religion?—1 Thess. 5:3. What about DURING?
  15. Does the Bible show that Jesus healed any of his Apostles? Did Jesus heal any of their ailments, problems, medical issues? Why not? Why did Judas take care of the money? Wasn't Matthew better qualified? Inquiring minds want to know...🤣
  16. It didn't actually "fall to its death," but just dropped dead due to exhaustion and overwork. Ryders law has been trying to get horse drawn carriages outlawed from central park since the '80's, according to the newsreel. Who knew?
  17. It doesn't matter. They are wicked and Jehovah might take of this world mess. w26.02 30-31
  18. Since I OD on chocolate and floated through time, I hope I'm sure. Who knows?
  19. Almost 100% probability from June through March for El Niño, extreme weather around the globe incoming… The Indian Ocean Dipole is looking to be Positive around August, adding to what El Niño is already bringing. EL NIÑO/SOUTHERN OSCILLATION (ENSO) DIAGNOSTIC DISCUSSION issued by CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER/NCEP/NWS 11 June 2026 ENSO Alert System Status: El Niño Advisory Synopsis: El Niño conditions are present and expected to strengthen into the Northern Hemisphere winter 2026-27. El Niño conditions developed over the past month, as shown by above-average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) across the central to eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean [Fig. 1]. The latest weekly Niño-3.4 index value was +0.7°C, with the westernmost (Niño-4) and easternmost (Niño-1+2) indices at +0.7°C and +2.1°C, respectively [Fig. 2]. The equatorial subsurface temperature index (average from 180°-100°W) decreased in the past month [Fig. 3], but significantly above-average subsurface temperatures remained in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific [Fig. 4]. Low-level westerly wind anomalies and upper-level easterly wind anomalies were evident over the central equatorial Pacific. Convection was slightly above average over the central and east-central equatorial Pacific and was near or below average over Indonesia [Fig. 5]. The traditional and equatorial Southern Oscillation indices were negative. Collectively, the coupled ocean-atmosphere system reflected the onset of El Niño conditions. The North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) average, including the NCEP CFSv2 [Fig. 6], forecasts El Niño to intensify into the Northern Hemisphere winter 2026-27. High confidence in El Niño [Fig. 7] is also linked to anomalously high oceanic heat content and expanding westerly wind anomalies across the equatorial Pacific Ocean. There is a 63% chance of a very strong El Niño during November-January [Fig. 8] that would rank among the largest El Niño events in the historical record going back to 1950. Even very strong El Niño events do not lead to the expected impact everywhere, but stronger events can more significantly tilt the odds in favor of expected outcomes (see CPC outlooks for probabilities of seasonal anomalies). In summary, El Niño conditions are present and expected to strengthen into the Northern Hemisphere winter 2026-27. This discussion is a consolidated effort of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NOAA's National Weather Service, and their funded institutions. Oceanic and atmospheric conditions are updated weekly on the Climate Prediction Center web site (El Niño/La Niña Current Conditions and Expert Discussions). A probabilistic strength forecast is available here. The next ENSO Diagnostics Discussion is scheduled for 9 July 2026.
  20. Let’s hope this peace deal gets signed https://news.sky.com/story/iran-israel-latest-trump-lebanon-hezbollah-netanyahu-strike-attack-live-13509565
  21. Thanks, Jeremy. I wasn't able to find it but maybe someone will be able to point me to it. I would like to have a dismiss button next to warnings. My About Me section permanently has a red exclamation sign. Either a brother hasn't connected in several weeks, or someone is lacking a phone number or there is an unassigned local needs talk. Notifications are very useful, but when the red sign is constantly there you no longer pay any attention.
  22. I was expecting that too, Brother John, as well as Br. Sanderson’s talk, which presented Jehovah’s protection at Armageddon as some sort of novelty, even though we were all convinced of it. I was hoping for a study that delves into the precise moment, during the Great Tribulation, when that protection would be fully and completely effective. Well, I think we can start mourning; it seems we’ll have to settle for the spoken talks, because new ones are in the works. The AM 2026 is just three and a half months away... Time is flying by.
  23. Update growing like “weeds”. Rows are freshly tilled and weeded/weed free. Irrigation system in place P.S. how do you like that fancy “gate”😝😝😝😝🥴
  24. I think its weird in general, but on par with the behavior and history of current administration. No topic to far fetched, unhinged or misinformed to not use in tactics to distract.
  25. There is another NWP Update today (#15) I haven't had any problems with NWP lately so I don't know what this latest update is for. Has anyone seen any changes after updating?

    • 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.

      My work is delayed for a week. 
      My UPS that power my entire workstation catastrophically failed, and I’ve never been scared in my life seeing it emitting lots of smoke and loud sparks. 
       
      This scares me because I was originally planning to go out of town this weekend. If I had gone, my place could have burned down. Thankfully, I decided not to leave town this weekend.

      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!
