Extreme is when you're not sure if you're supposed to knock at the front door or the back.

Oui. C'est exact. Merci. I knew someone was going to mention that, looking for articles in German. But since I don't speak German (even though I'm half-German), I didn't know what word to look for. However, thank you, my sister, for finding it for me.

You may recall this horrific news story three years ago. The sounds of the shots we imagine still echo in our minds, as we keep mulling over the question in our heads: How much longer, O Jehovah? How much longer? That topic is closed now and won't allow any more posts. So I will continue it here. A brother whom I know sent me the following information about what is happening now in the Kingdom Hall, a little more than three years after the tragedy. He wrote it all in French, but since his email is lengthy and I didn't want to translate it myself, I asked GoogleTranslate to do the honours. It doesn't appear to be taken from an article that I could find, and so contains no links. Other articles appearing in newspapers report another recent shooting in Germany; nothing to do with us. However, I was unable to find any others specifically about this Kingdom Hall. But considering how long I have known the brother who sent this to me (about 25 years), I trust him.

Hey, I love your new 'home!' Do any of the surroundings (hills, evergreen trees) in the AI pictures resemble your present whereabouts? How come your 'home' is far from neighbours?

"...the love of the greater number will grow cold..."

Be very careful, brothers and sisters, while in the ministry. Prove yourselves cautious as serpents and yet innocent as doves. It's only going to get worse as we approach the end of it all.

Interesting. For the last couple of years I have been taking the audio portion of the new original songs and converting them to mp3 format. I was customarily posting them in my Music Collection on OneDrive. That's to fill in the two-week gap between the time the broadcast comes online to the time the song shows up on jw.org. However, I was noticing now (since the last two broadcasts) that the song is posted on jw.org on the same day as the broadcast!!! Now they're getting too quick for me, rendering my efforts to help out obsolete. So this has been fun. If you have been following along, thank you for your appreciation.

Speaking of the new song—I have converted it to mp3 format for you and posted it in my Music Collection. It is indeed timely, and is called Let’s Stick Together. It's in an archive along with the official image and the lyrics. If you don't have the link to my Music Collection, send me a PM.

It's on the servers: #139. Brother Luccioni is host.

I have noticed that too. Doing a search for a phrase cannot be done easily in JW Library or on jw.org. However, if you are looking for "Indescribable free gift" (which is 2 Corinthians 9:15), do your search on Watchtower Library (DVD version) or wol.jw.org; it can be done easily there. Type in the phrase you are looking for in the search box, surrounded by quotation marks ("), and you will find it quickly.

Hhmm. So what is the punishment of these false prophets? The same as in Moses' time?—Deuteronomy 18:20.

Fantastic! I've been waiting for this. In previous trials, the courts decided that "a member of the family" had sold the archive to the Bundeswehr Military History Museum. That family member was not in the truth, but I don't know if he was aware of what was written in the will. Either way, the previous courts thought that the sale authorized by the family member was done "in good faith," and so should be left with the Museum. It should be obvious what was wrong with that decision. Sister Kusserow's will should take absolute precedence over any other thoughts or arrangements made by others in the family, whether they were done in good faith or not. Hopefully, this latest decision will put the matter to rest.

Another brother on the forums sent me this bit of insight: This article reveals where the FIFA World Cup final will be played. It doesn't look like much just seeing the picture of the stadium the article uses, but zoom into the photo and see what's on the screens! 2026 World Cup final will be played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey

Yeah. We were looking at the same date, but for a different reason. We had our Regional Convention the last weekend of May, and we need a space to have a review of it. But now you just messed up our guesswork.

Yeah. The end of an era, and now it looks so plain and uninteresting.
