    That's cool. Do you have a digital copy of that document to share? Also, what strategies do you all use to count these tracts?

    @Áine @Shawnster @LeolaRootStew After the nations relinquish their power to the UN, the slave may see a golden opportunity to warn as many people as possible before the destruction begins. I say that because they may suspect our website will be taken down, and I doubt they would post information that's religious in nature on our social media accounts during the GT, because that would needlessly invite persecution. So they may take advantage of the little time left before the GT to sound the warning. Our social media accounts are still in the pilot stage, but if it is a success, we will have developed familiarity with some mainstream news sources by then, so they may pick up the story. The slave could even reach out to these sources, or “tag” them. In this way, Jehovah could use the “milk of the nations” in a significant way.

    I was visiting family when attending the RC on the weekend. I'm sure they said the speaker was from "Brooklyn Bethel". It got me thinking, is there still a "Brooklyn Bethel?" Did I miss what he just said? Or was it simply a slip of the tongue? Is it either: Wallkill, Patterson or Warwick now.... Are there visiting speakers from the residents of the 'infirm' complex?

    The newly redesigned jwpubs.org website has now been released. Along with the new design, several major infrastructure improvements have also been made to some of the services offered on the website. The JW Web Add-on page has been redesigned with a more interactive layout. It now presents the features of the add-on more clearly, with images, improved instructions, more information about the Control Panel, additional FAQs, and other helpful details. The Short Link Generator has officially been renamed IJW Short Link. Its page has been completely redesigned with a simpler, cleaner, and more modern layout. The infrastructure that powers short links has also been rebuilt from the ground up. This new system is much faster and more efficient than the previous one. All existing short links have been migrated to the new infrastructure, so no short links were lost. The RSS Subscription Library has also received major infrastructure improvements. Several older systems have been replaced with newer ones, improving how feed data is provided. Some data that was previously missing is now available again. As part of this change, RSS feeds now use a new domain: rss.ijw.link. This replaces the old rss.jwpubs.org domain, although the old domain will continue to work for a while so existing subscribers do not need to resubscribe immediately. Other minor improvements have also been made across the website. Text links are now coloured to make clickable links easier to identify, and the language picker in articles has been changed to a button to reduce unnecessary distractions while reading.

    I don't think that article addresses the issue. Even if there were a planet out there of perfect, loyal people, that wouldn't prove that God's rule is better than human rule. The only way to do that is what God did already - give us a chance to prove it. Second point - would that planet of faithful people be human or something else? Because the faithfulness of some of the angels doesn't prove anything either. Satan didn't need 100% of humans to turn away from Jehovah for the court case to begin - it just takes one to pose the question: whose rule is best? And I don't see how Jehovah could forgive the debt of sin if it wasn't paid by a ransom. I don't think he'd have a basis to shield Adam and Eve's children from their imperfection, even if the existence of faithful ones somehow proved Jehovah was sovereign.
  10. Shawnster
    Guess that depends on whether or not you feel destroying Adam and Eve and starting with a new pair of humans violates that purpose. Or, perhaps Jehovah could have preserved their lives long enough to allow them to have children and he could/would shield such children from the effects of sin the way he did Jesus. *** g90 4/8 pp. 10-11 Extraterrestrials—Finding the Answer *** If God did create such beings, he did so before he created Adam and Eve. Such beings either remained faithful to their Creator, or like Adam and Eve, they sinned and fell into imperfection. But if they became imperfect, they needed a redeemer. As one essayist put it: “One has this dreadful thought that on Friday [the day Jesus Christ was executed], every Friday, somewhere in the universe Jesus is being hanged high for someone’s sins.” But that is not Scriptural. The Bible tells us that Jesus “died with reference to sin once for all time.”—Romans 6:10. What if these beings had remained perfect? Well, when Adam and Eve sinned, they were, in effect, questioning God’s right to rule over a world of intelligent physical beings. If another planet existed at that time, a world full of intelligent physical beings who were living harmoniously and loyally under God’s rule, would they not have been called in as witnesses to testify that God’s rule does indeed work? This conclusion seems inescapable, since he has already used even imperfect humans as witnesses in his behalf on that very issue.—Isaiah 43:10. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=101990244&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=14

    Goals are debatable, and would most likely be political anyway. And all I know is what I read in the news, which is bias one way or the other. So, I wouldn't want to comment on goals achieved. Decisive, in the context I used it, only refers to the sudden beginning and sudden end. Nothing more.

  15. LeolaRootStew
    That's just the title. The article would show scriptural support for their destruction if the UN getting power has actually happened. We don't know how undeniable that sign will be, so we don't want to be dogmatic.

    But isn't that a step back? It's a question, meaning that it may not happen, rather than a statement of something that will happen....

    I'm just an observer like the rest of us, but I wonder if a three-month decisive war humiliates Putin with his four-year war at a stalemate? What I mean is; Does the USA/Israel war against Iran ending in three months make it more likely, or less likely, that Putin will negotiate for an end of his four year war with nothing to show for it? He thought he was going to roll into Kyiv in days and plant his flag. Can he end his war and save face on the world stage? Dunno . . .

    Tuesday, June 16 Keep on the watch and pray continually, so that you may not enter into temptation.—Matt. 26:41. “The spirit, of course, is eager, but the flesh is weak.” (Matt. 26:41b) With those words, Jesus showed that he understood our imperfect condition. But his words also included a warning: Beware of overconfidence. Earlier that very night, the disciples had confidently expressed their determination to stick by their Master. (Matt. 26:35) Their motives were good. Still, they did not realize how quickly they could weaken under pressure. Thus, Jesus cautioned them with the words found in today’s text. Sadly, the disciples failed to keep on the watch. When Jesus was arrested, did they stick by him or did they give in to the temptation to flee? Caught off guard, the disciples did exactly what they said that they would never do—they abandoned Jesus.—Matt. 26:56. w24.07 14 ¶1-2
  29. LeolaRootStew
    What about the issue of Jehovah's purpose going unfulfilled if Adam and Eve don't have children to spread Paradise? And those children need to be redeemed from sin.
  30. LeolaRootStew
    That sounds plausible. I think it would be similar to the articles they have like, "Does The War In The Middle East Mean Armageddon is Coming?" but it would be "Does the UN Gaining Unprecedented Power Fulfill the Prophecy of the Beast? Is the Destruction of False Religion Next?" This way they wouldn't be jumping the gun by claiming it definitively is fulfillment, but it does give legitimacy if it is the actual fulfillment. It will draw the honest-hearted.

      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.”

      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)

      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!
