France was hit very hard with 44°C (111F) in Bordeaux (remember it's calculated in the shade, not under the sun where it reached almost 60°C (140F).

Over 1k Deaths so far and 50k missing latest data

Significant, dangerous heat wave expected next week for the Central to Eastern U.S A dangerous heat dome is expect on the east coast next week according to NOAA. A temperature range between 90-110 with overnight lows to also be very warm bringing little relief.

Thank you all very much for helping me understand. I asked because I wondered if there is any use in Jehovah creating something so grand that moves and causes disruption to humans and animals. If there are eruptions and earthquakes in the new world, then we will need to take safety measures, even though Jehovah is in control.

Could be but I believe this is being called another earthquake that occurred about 53 miles from the Caracas quakes. https://earthquaketrack.com/quakes/2026-06-26-22-16-11-utc-4-7-10 https://www.bignewsnetwork.com/news/279150492/magnitude-47-earthquake-strikes-off-venezuela-northern-coast-emsc#google_vignette

These aftershocks are to be expected but can be particularly dangerous, as damaged buildings can finally collapse and rescue efforts have to be paused.

Tectonic plate movement is a natural consequence of how our earth is made, it is outside the control or influence of humans today. The consequences, however, are somewhat within human control through awareness of the dangers, constructing buildings capable of withstanding the strongest expected ground movements and how we live and work in the areas susceptible to the highest tidal waves. Short term thinking is one factor. We don't live long enough to experience these potential disasters ourselves so we discount the chance of them happening. Some faults build stresses over millennia and the historical evidence isn't enough to convince people that there is a potential danger. Greed is another factor. Building to withstand large ground movements is possible but expensive, it is easy to gamble with other people's lives. The lack of safe options have people living and working in dangerous buildings in areas subject to dangerous ground movements or high waters from tidal waves. The dangers don't just exist close to known faults and tectonic plate boundaries, the ground composition is a factor as well (Matt 7:24-27). In many areas, the wind load against a building is stronger than any expected ground movement from earthquakes. On the other hand, alluvial fans and high ground water in sedimentary areas (silt and sand) that are great for growing things amplify ground shaking and are terrible for buildings. A perfect world would have us taking appropriate precaution in areas subject to ground movement and tidal waves. Adequate foundations, strong buildings, and low densities of people. Escape plans and other safety measures. A creator involved in our day-to-day activities and in control of the world around us could ease these stresses that build up in the tectonic plates. Daily or weekly movement of a hair's breadth would be more than enough to avoid catastrophic ground movement that causes these tragedies. Growing up, geology seemed boring, with the image of the old rock hound with his pointy rock hammer. However, living in a geologically interesting area (Nevada, USA) that clearly doesn't resemble the tectonic plate boundaries and simple volcanism taught in school started making me wonder and personally research some of the geologic aspects of the basin and range geology around me. Then a job opportunity came my way to work as an equipment operator for a university lab researching earthquake risk and I got to see firsthand various fascinating aspects of the ground we live on. If the spiritual aspect of my life wasn't a priority I would have pursued further education in this fascinating realm but I'll be content to learn more in the future when we're not constrained by grant funding or the choice of jobs that further mankind's destruction of the natural world.

A new earthquake measuring 4.9 on the Richter scale has been felt in Venezuela. 😥

884k for Instagram 154k for Tiktok

Today's social media is the equivalent to the town market in ancient times, where (among buying and selling stuff) rumours and latest news was exchanged. I am not either on Instagram or TikTok. I really love the idea of jw_pressroom ❤️ How many followers do we have now?

With out being there, neither. BOSTP

Idk about the algorithms but I've only had problems on tiktok. I don't use it very much

I came here to say that! It’s down to algorithms… they follow you around the internet and give you content that it thinks you would like to see ! I’ve never come across an apostate account on Instagram etc, the only time I may see any kind of apostate on FB is if they’re commenting on a news article and then I avoid it like the plague!

Saturday, June 27 Go on bringing them up in the discipline and admonition of Jehovah.—Eph. 6:4. What about baptized minors—those under 18 years of age—who engage in serious wrongdoing? The body of elders will arrange for two elders to meet with the minor and his Christian parents. The elders will find out what steps the parents have already taken to help their child come to repentance. If the minor has a good attitude and the parents are reaching him, the two elders might decide that it is not necessary to take the matter any further. After all, it is the parents’ God-given responsibility to provide loving correction to their children. (Deut. 6:6, 7; Prov. 6:20; 22:6; Eph. 6:2-4) The elders will thereafter occasionally check with the parents to make sure that the minor is getting the help he needs. However, what if a baptized minor unrepentantly persists in a wrong course? In that case, a committee of elders will meet with him along with his Christian parents. w24.08 24 ¶18

Oh my🙏🙏🙏🙏. A report on Jw.org says: So far 1 sister and 5 brothers are now in Jehovahs memory. 58 missing and 35 injured. Pray everyone else is accounted for 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/venezuela/Multiple-Earthquakes-Devastate-Venezuela/

Both my comments were in regards to the ministry and how the Slave encourages us to go where the people are. Whether adjusting the times/ days we go door to door, engaging in cart/ public/ informal witnessing, or either directing people to or sharing videos from jw_pressroom- those are all excellent ways to share Jehovah's Organization with others. Why would anyone feel bad or left out? All ages are included, right? It's not an exclusive club.. 😖 I'm honestly puzzled that some seem to be viewing this new avenue as a dirty secret or something. The Slave has clearly endorsed it- let's advertise, advertise, advertise it! 💪🏼💥

Thank you! I will add this to my screen for easy multiple reviews. When I said I follow directions if I understand them does not mean they have to make sense to me. It does mean they need to be easy to follow, not over complicated, not have so many steps I can't remember what to do next. So my memory retention is somewhat faulty. Gso, gve me a string of numbers and I will definitely struggle trying to remember what order I heard them but I will be pretty accurate recalling all the numbers I heard. Transpose. Phone numbers? I got the right numbers just turned them around. So what good is that? If I'm partnered up with someone good at sequencing I'm good with remembering the right numbers. I'm a rule follower. Our marriage counselor told Rick and I that we were the perfect example of opposites attract. He used the example of a no trespassing sign. He said I would turn around without questioning but Rick on the other hand would read it, interest would spark and now nothing can stop him. He took it as a challenge not instruction. Does that make sense? Yes my default mode is to apply humor to everything. It may land me in the principals office but I laughed as the way there.

I'm not sure if you're kidding or not, but you might want to watch this new video, if you haven't already. I like the way he lays out the specifics of the detailed instructions. https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=jwlshare&wtlocale=E&lank=pub-jwbvod26_24_VIDEO

Finally was the other last word. Finally, an heir was born and a new story because each ending suggests a new beginning. I hope someone suggests a new beginning of a fictional story.

IMHO Social media requires less or equal tech-savyness compared to other types of platforms, like webshops or government tax filings etc Also I see another trend: the more tech savy a person becomes often they become more aware of the downsides of technology but maybe thats just my bubble as a tech policy advisor.

Nice. If I could somehow do that in a comment I would as well. And yes it's fantastic. I'm not sure I'm shy about bringing it up necessarily but in the past, when I've brought up technology and it's advantages within the brotherhood/organization, I think I've made some older ones feel left out. They're struggling just to keep up and doing the best they can. Sometimes ... okay well, many times ... I'm not as sensitive as I ought to be, so even at 70yo I'm a work in progress! 😄 Younger ones? I wouldn't hesitate to talk about it, just there hasn't been an occasion. My association is limited is all. B-t-w, I noticed on IG previously there were 14 posts, now there are only 13. What's missing? or did I imagine the 14 posts? Lol!
