  1. Past hour
  2. Actually, Daniel 11:42 has gotten me wondering if there will be a third world war in which the U.S. will be defeated. Perhaps a war started by Zionist and Islamic governments, where the U.S. and other nations join. 42  And he will keep thrusting out his hand against the lands; and as regards the land of Egypt, she will not escape.
  3. Another 2 years that had same day of week and same date were 1965 & 1999. I turned 13 on Friday and then next Thursday the 14th my 15 year old sister died. In 1999 I turned 47 on the Friday and next Thursday the 14th my mom's younger sister died. I was only one to notice however years later my 3rd oldest sister tried to tell others including me that.
  4. GT. Do you think a police officer will knock on your door? More likely, swarms of robot dogs and drones could be used to track and target people. That’s the worst part of living in countries with strong military power—they have many ways to track and control people.
  5. Today
  6. Iran is mostly about Shia Islam, it's a minority in Islam (mostly Sunni)
  7. Two of us have updated to #1441 but it still shows #1440 in our shared persons page. I tried updating twice. Each time it appears to work successsfully but it continues to show #1440. I haven't had time to poke around to try and find how to fix this.
  8. Which may trigger a religious war? Hence, a reason to get rid of all religions?
  9. I have done some testing. as you will always have a original backup of All your notes there's really no potential harm or fear of loosing anything OR corrupting. it's a ZIP sql basically and it's Just parameters to handle exceptions. if there's bugs I want to fix them. but if you have a library backup file in the first place to merge with you should automatically have a safe roll back option. though I don't see the jw app accepting a corrupted file
  10. I'm sure the many talented brothers there would be able to come up with something better than this if time And resource willing.. but in the meantime I'm glad this is helpful to More than just myself. getting home after studying on My work phone and not wanting to loose that gem I found on lunch break but didn't have time before the meeting to restore to my tablet before the meeting and made notes At the meeting and so on.. it's a relief knowing I can just do it once a week now. I hope you will All share it with other's who could benefit
  11. Astronomers collect rare evidence of two planets colliding by William Poor, University of Washington. 11 March 2026 Anastasios (Andy) Tzanidakis was combing through old telescope data from 2020 when he found an otherwise boring star acting very strangely. The star, named Gaia20ehk, was about 11,000 light-years from Earth near the constellation Puppis. It was a stable "main sequence" star, much like our sun, which meant that it should emit steady, predictable light. Yet this star began to flicker wildly. "The star's light output was nice and flat, but starting in 2016 it had these three dips in brightness. And then, right around 2021, it went completely bonkers," said Tzanidakis, a doctoral candidate in astronomy at the University of Washington. "I can't emphasize enough that stars like our sun don't do that. So when we saw this one, we were like, 'Hello, what's going on here?'" The cause of the flickering had nothing to do with the star itself: Huge quantities of rocks and dust—seemingly from out of nowhere—were passing in front of the distant star as the material orbited the system, patchily dimming the light that reached Earth. The likely source of all that debris was even more remarkable: a catastrophic collision between two planets. "It's incredible that various telescopes caught this impact in real time," Tzanidakis said. "There are only a few other planetary collisions of any kind on record, and none that bear so many similarities to the impact that created Earth and the moon. If we can observe more moments like this elsewhere in the galaxy, it will teach us lots about the formation of our world." The analysis of the star is published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

  12. Iran and Islam are inseparable. An attack on Iran is in my view an attack on Islam.
  13. One of my favourite resources on this subject is the SI Book. Study Number 2—Time and the Holy Scriptures Describing time divisions used in the Bible, the calendars in common use, pivotal dates for the Bible, and interesting points with regard to “the stream of time.” Study Number 3—Measuring Events in the Stream of Time The counting of time in Bible days and a discussion of the chronology of outstanding events of both the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures.
  14. Oh my goodness! I had the cutest little hamster when I was growing up, and my kids had guinea pigs. I would be horrified to feed a living creature to a python or anything else! I know that's what they eat, but I couldn't do it! Nor could I watch anyone else do it! Nothing to do with the blood issue on the thread of course, just my own reaction 🥴 Note to self - never keep a snake!
  15. ref animals again - Isaiah 11 6-8 comes to mind
  16. A friend who attended Gilead back in the early 60s quoted Br Knorr as making the same statement in one of the lectures.
  17. I'm with you. Time doesn't change just because somebody counts days differently.
  18. It happened in France too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infected_blood_scandal_in_France
  19. Maybe you can share this with your local branch office, they may be able to apply this idea to the official app! I’m sure they’d love for you to submit it!
  20. Yes, of course, the basement is not the main point. That’s actually quite obvious, because no one would think about being in a basement if they didn’t understand that our real safety depends on Jehovah’s power. For me, the example just helps remind us of the importance of developing now the qualities we will need, such as strong faith, trust in Jehovah, loyalty, obedience, courage, endurance, humility, and love. It even reminds me of that idea in Psalm 27:13: “Where would I be if I did not have faith that I would see Jehovah’s goodness in the land of the living?
  21. What's the difference between this update and what we already had?
  22. Fourth warmest during a La Niña, now imagine a year from now with a very strong El Niño. Looking like El Niño will start to emerge late April/May. February 2026 Global Temperature Update, Tied 4th Warmest February on Record +1.54°C Temperature Mean February (1880-1920)NASA Current record (2024) (+1.74C) Second (2016) (+1.67C) Third (2025) (+1.56C) Tied Fourth (2020&2026) (+1.54C) +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
  23. This seems to be coming up more and more. I had never heard of it till recently but I am in a couple of groups for RB cats and it appears that some of these suffer from a problem that requires a blood transfusion and it seems that some have a rare blood type - and I'm sure it's not just RB's. Slightly OT but related - I do feel that pedigree cats (and dogs) are being born with weaker immune systems along with other issues - I won't ramble on about interbreeding or constantly expecting an animal to produce year after year!!! It seems to be less of a problem with mixed breeds or your general moggy. (I also won't get on my soapbox about sterilisation either!! 🤐) I wonder how people would react if I suggested that they use a blood alternative for their pet. (semi joke)

    • 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 sometimes mix-up my terminology so this is to help me:
       
      The Lord's supper is the ceremony in which Jesus and his apostles partook on Nisan 14.
       
      Jesus said to do this in remembrance of him, a remembrance of what he is about to do (give his life for mankind). So what we commemorate is the blood and flesh given in our behalf, and we reproduce this event by observing the sacrament of the Lord's supper.
       
      This death serves to enact a new covenant between the spirit-anointed sons and daughters of God, and the other sheep are respectful attendees and participants that honor that contract.
       
      In summary the Memorial (or 'eucharist', meaning 'thanksgiving' in biblical Greek) is our commemoration of the death of Jesus by observing the Lord's supper. The partaking (other denominations call it 'communion') of the emblems, the wine and bread, is done by spirit-anointed christians who are part of the new covenant.

      I found a video of a physician brother discussing techniques to minimize blood transfusions on patients during a medical congress
       
       
      I know he is a brother because he gives the memorial talk on stream.jw.org

      Our congregation is finally moving to NW Scheduler from KHS. I'm having trouble exporting publisher reports from KHS to NW Scheduler. I get log error "cannot import record. Missing Date"
      I tried changing date format to year/month/day as it is in KHS. Same thing.
      I will have to enter data manually, but if there's anyone out there that has found a fix it would be hugely appreciated.
