  1. Today
  2. I don't understand these photos. I can not think of any point of view where these patterns would show up.
  3. The way things are looking with the heat forming out of the Oceans currently, Earth will be hottest or second hottest for 2026, Most likely a Super El Nino by fall, for sure hottest for 2027. March 2026 Global Temperature Update, Tied 4th Warmest March on Record +1.51°C Temperature Mean March (1880-1920)NASA Current record (2024) (+1.67C) Second (2025) (+1.64C) Third (2016) (+1.63C) Tied Fourth (2023&2026) (+1.51C) +1.49°C➖ For the Year Hottest year (2024) 1.56c Second hottest year (2025) 1.46c Third hottest year (2023) 1.45c +1.44°C👇 Last 12 Months
  4. I think that there is no book in the history of Germany that will be complete if it does not mention the relentless stand of the Jehovah's witnesses in that country against a regime that was clearly not doing the right thing. Every right thinking person would admit that such an act deserves it's own place in any book on German history.
  5. This is really really nice,I immediately recognized the song. Those brothers in that era where heroes of faith. they set an astonishing example of steadfastness and Loyalty to Jehovah,It's a beautiful thing.
  6. I’m a delegate 😁. Looking forward to meeting up with my lovely Filipino friends 🤗😘
  7. ...and in great style he'll deliver 💖 we are so privileged yet undeserving of all these.
  8. @Hope Thank you so much for this video! It helps a lot 💜 As long as Jehovah permits us to do this then the possibilities for new planet homes would be as infinite as the expanding universe 🤯
  9. Yesterday
  10. @Kiana Williamson Shawn may be thinking of this process from "Wrath of Khan" (awesome movie - go see it!). I know for me, this was the first time I heard about "terraforming". It's not a real thing now... but it does capture the imagination 😉
  11. I agree, nothing is impossible in Satan's world. I think the main idea is that the government here will not want too much military personnel that they can cater for, Although,there's currently so much fighting against terrorism going on,Boko haram,ISWAP. Who knows, if these terrorists begin to overwhelms the government forces they may probably start thinking of drafting more personnel.but that's just maybe, because I don't really see that happening as these terrorists are highly subdued now. However,We really can't expect things to get easy no matter where we live in this evil system of things, somehow the problems always find a way to involve you.we just have to always be prepared.
  12. Saturday, April 11 Look out for yourselves, so that you do not lose the things we have worked to produce, but that you may obtain a full reward.—2 John 8. Jehovah created us with a special ability. Although we enjoy receiving, we gain even greater happiness when we give to others. We feel good when we are able to help our fellow believers. And we are happy when they express their appreciation. Yet, whether the receiver expresses appreciation or not, we can be glad that we did the right thing. Never forget that whatever you give, “Jehovah has the means to give you much more.” (2 Chron. 25:9) We simply cannot outgive Jehovah! And there is no greater joy than to be repaid by Jehovah himself. Let us be determined, then, to continue imitating our generous heavenly Father. w24.09 31 ¶20-21
  13. well good to know that congress would have to pass such a thing before it could be implemented.....certainly no one would try to circumvent congress just because they want to. whew.
  14. Yes, all of these backs are strictly insectivorous.
  15. I know the young ones in the world esp are thinking about that hypocrisy. Thank you for the reminder Sister Justinah of our neutrality and how it could slide and stay close to Jehovah. 1st Samuel Chapter 8 has always quickly come first to my mind as a reminder -stay neutral.
  16. A sister shared this with me in service today. The story behind the pic goes like this. The Berlin symphony orchestra sings our song “Give Me Courage” The occasion for this unusual performance was a commemorative concert marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of of the Auschwitz concentration camp in Jan 2025 The song was chosen for the following reason: Historical Context-Jehovah’s Witnesses (then known as Bible Students” were persecuted under National Socialism because of their faith and were interned in concentration camps. The song symbolizes the religious resistance and steadfastness of the prisoners under the Natzi regime I did not recognize the song instantly since it is in another language but once I could identify the song it was a goosebump moment. Hope y’all enjoy as much as I did! 5634540367915519231.mov
  17. I think focussing on political hypocrisy, a redundant phrase, is a slippery slope to breaking neutrality.
  18. I am having the original version and this is what the about box tells me about the version I have. Is there a reason why I should update to the version that is linked now on the jw.org home page? Are there feature changes? I presume the data packages will still be updated for the original version?
  19. Heavens’ Declaration — a Glimpse of Wonder entry™ — Most of us think the earth is quiet. Not silent in the way of wind or rain or traffic. We know those sounds. We live inside them. But beneath all of that, most of us imagine the planet itself as still. Solid. Mute. A stage where life happens. Yet Jehovah built something far more remarkable than most of us would ever imagine. All around the earth is a vast space between the ground and the ionosphere, and when lightning flashes around the world, that space does not simply absorb the energy and lose it. It answers, like a great chamber stirred by lightning. Lightning activity around the world continually excites waves that circle the globe and reinforce certain extremely low frequencies, creating what scientists call Schumann resonances. The main peak is near 7.8 hertz, with additional resonant peaks above it. Think about that for a moment. A storm breaks open over one part of the world. Another rolls across a distant ocean. Another flashes above jungle, desert, mountain, plain. And the planet does not merely endure that scattered activity. It is structured in such a way that this energy forms a kind of global response. Not music in the way human ears normally hear it, but order. Pattern. Structure. The earth is not randomly battered by energy. It is arranged in such a way that lightning can make the whole world ring. Maybe that is part of the wonder. Jehovah’s works are not strange in themselves. They are wise. They are precise. They are fitting. What seems strange is often only our first reaction to something far deeper than we expected. Not because there is anything odd in Him, but because there is so much depth in what He has made that we are often standing at the edge of things we barely understand. That is what moves me here. This is not just power. Power alone can frighten. This is controlled power. Measured power. Power working within boundaries Jehovah established. Even lightning, fierce and sudden as it is, is still operating inside laws that He set in place. What looks wild to us is not outside His order. “The heavens are declaring the glory of God; The skies above proclaim the work of his hands.” (Psalm 19:1) That verse feels bigger after learning this. The skies are not only beautiful when they glow at sunset or split open with white fire in a storm. They are declaring. They are proclaiming. Even when no human ear hears a thing, the world Jehovah made is still bearing witness. It tells us that creation is deeper than it looks. It tells us that what seems empty is not empty. It tells us that above us and around us are hidden arrangements, quiet laws, unseen marvels, all holding their place because He willed them there. So the next time thunder rolls away and the sky grows still again, it may not be still at all. It may be that the world is quietly answering lightning. It may be that the earth is carrying a hidden rhythm most of us never notice. And if Jehovah built even that into the very structure of our home, how much more is surrounding us every day that we have not yet learned to hear?
  20. The irony of a known and admitted draft dodger implementing a draft is beyond rich. And, we also get bonus hypocrisy: It applies to green-card holders, refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented men. Wait, didn't the President's campaign to abolish birthright citizenship rely on the assumption that green-card holders, refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants aren't subject to US jurisdiction? If people cannot see the accuracy and truthfulness of Jeremiah 10:23, they are spiritually blind.
  21. World anxiously waits to see if US-Iran peace talks can deliver. Here’s what we know https://edition.cnn.com/2026/04/10/middleeast/us-iran-war-talks-pakistan-what-we-know-intl-hnk
  22. Thank you Yvonne, I appreciate the reminders, my intent is to place these reminders in my encourage and courage files! The tenth talk, “Jehovah Will Perfectly Deliver His People at Armageddon,” 🥰

    • 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.”

      When u think that Jehovah’s promise is too slow and taking long time to come to pass, kindly remember these Bible passage:
      2Peter 3: 8,9.
      "However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day."
      "Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance."
      Since a day is like a thousand years in his eyes, have u lived up to an hour in HIS eyes so that u may lose patient and consider HIS promises slow 🐌 ? Food for thoughts! ✌️

      To all brothers and sisters 💜
       
      I truly appreciate the opportunity to read your posts and think deeply about subjects I may not have considered before.
       
      It’s often been difficult for me to express my thoughts clearly in person—those conversations sometimes end in silence, awkwardness, or embarrassment. But having the chance to share my thoughts here and respond to others has been a new and amazing experience for me.
       
      Thank you all for that.

      Good morning/evening friends,

      I am feeling terribly ill and wonder how my brothers and sisters keep hanging in there.

      A little insight on my mystery illness/condition: I have always had intestinal issues, but recently, last August, things have shifted drastically. Instead of the usual bouts of intestinal pain, uterine pain has come about as well. It wasn’t anything too unusual since both parts are in close proximity and affect each other a lot of the time. But this time, the pain is constant, makes me sick, and makes me feel weak.

      It affected me so much that I lost my appetite and lost 25 lbs. Recently, I am able to eat a bit more. The pain isn’t as constant, but the sickness is. I never understood what motion sickness was like until this condition struck me. Just turning in bed or walking is so sickening.

      I have to cut back on my days at work because the illness affects me all day. Some days it’s bearable, and having to drive to work puts my adrenaline in gear, and when I start working, I get another dose. However, now at work, I sweat so much, and I always feel like I’m going to throw up at any moment. Weakness is starting to replace the adrenaline.

      I have an MRI set up for the end of next month and am currently still waiting for a call from the gastroenterologist and gynecologist to schedule appointments. I might have to call again Monday to ask why I am not getting the calls.

      I have been praying, reading the Bible, and using jw.org, but my mind is so chaotic, and I end up biting off more than I can chew when I try to focus on something. I start with one task, then it ends up branching into 50 other sub-tasks. I am being very inefficient and would like to know what scriptures or articles you find helpful during these kinds of days.

      Also, what else helps give you peace, soothes, and helps you remain patient through the frustration of waiting for approvals and appointments?

      Now, at least in my part of the world, everyone in just about heading out the door for the memorial.
       
      I have a feeling that's going to lead to a quiet evening on JWTalk.

      Saying "a Jehovah's Witness elder" in french is awkward, because elder and former are the same word ('ancien').
      So "a Jehovah's Witness elder" sounds the same as "a former Jehovah's Witness"

      Michael—welcome.
       
      Romania feels like one of those places where the past and present are constantly in quiet conversation… mountains that have seen generations come and go, cities that carry their history without needing to say much about it. There’s something grounding about that.
       
      I noticed you’re serving as a publisher—that’s meaningful. It also brings to mind how the work has continued to move forward across Eastern Europe, including Romania, often under changing conditions, yet with a steady kind of faith that doesn’t draw attention to itself—but endures.
       
      I’m really glad you’re here. Communities like this benefit from thoughtful voices, and I have a feeling yours will be one of them.
       
      Looking forward to hearing from you when you’re ready.

      Hey Logan—welcome!
       
      Sherman has that wide-open North Texas feel to it—big skies, steady pace, and a strong sense of community.
      It’s a great place to be grounded while still staying active, especially if you enjoy things like running and staying sharp with computer science.
       
      I noticed your “Hello Everyone” post—jumping in like that says a lot. It takes a certain openness to step into a new space and engage right away, and that kind of presence adds something real to the whole community.
       
      I was also thinking about how Jehovah’s people have come together in Texas during difficult times—like the relief work highlighted on JW.org after the winter storms. It’s a reminder of how quickly genuine unity forms, even among those who have just met.
       
      Glad you’re here. Hope you settle in easily and enjoy the conversations—there’s a lot of good ahead.

      Hi Hayley—welcome! It’s nice to see someone here from Myrtle Beach. That whole area has such a relaxed, coastal feel to it… you can almost sense it just hearing the name.
       
      A few publishers from my congregation actually head down your way each summer, so Myrtle Beach has come up in conversation quite a bit over the years—I’ve always been a little curious what it’s like during that season when everything comes alive.
       
      It’s really encouraging to see you jump right in as a publisher and already engaging with others. That kind of spirit makes a real difference in a community like this.
       
      I was thinking of a report from Madagascar where brothers and sisters would travel long distances just to be together for meetings—it really highlights how much we all value association, no matter where we are.
       
      Glad you’re here, Hayley. Looking forward to seeing more of your thoughts and getting to know you.

      Seeing that you’re in Accra immediately brings a picture to mind—the coastline, the warm air, and that steady, lively rhythm of the city. There’s a real sense of community there that stands out.
       
      Ghana has such a beautiful spiritual history too. I was thinking of the Yearbook accounts that highlighted how the brothers there showed steady faith and endurance even during difficult periods—those reports always leave an impression, because they reflect a deep love for Jehovah that continues to this day.
       
      It’s especially encouraging to see that you’re a baptized publisher. That says a lot about your commitment and the path you’ve chosen, and it’s something we all value deeply.
       
      Your being here matters. Each brother brings something that can strengthen others, and I’m sure your experiences and perspective will do just that.
