  1. I never heard about this, despite the fact that it was happening right under my nose. I'm not too familiar with the Portuguese community, but I've heard lots about the Quebec government imposing their laws (about language [French must take precedence], about public prayer [generally not allowed], about secularism [clothing that identifies one's religion], etc) on the population. Of course, those laws have no effect on Jehovah's Witnesses, but I can easily see why it would introduce problems for other religions. I known only a little bit about the Portuguese people who live here, fanning the flames whenever the Portuguese teams are playing in an end-of-season match, or this procession. Yes, they can be a stubborn bunch.
  2. I don't keep the monthly broadcasts anyway. But I do keep the individual videos stored on an external hard drive. So even if the brothers removed some of those videos, I would still have them. That's enough for me.
  3. It is extremely rare that an apostate returns to Jehovah. The chances of that happening are about the same as Satan repenting of his course and coming back! Absolute ZERO! For any other sin—smoking, immorality, theft—someone could return, and sometimes does. But for apostasy it is next to impossible. But it doesn't really matter what they say about us after they leave. Jehovah promised us: Isaiah 54:17.
  4. For one: https://jwtalk.net/topic/57828-an-initiative-in-japan/ (Unfortunately, the topic has timed out and locked.)
  5. Actually that sounds like a good idea. I could save so much time just avoiding it.
  6. You mean... he can't get his Klingon straight?
  7. Woww! The program is on jw.org already! That's early! I thought so too! So I converted it to mp3 format and posted it in my Music Collection. It's in a zip file, along with the official image for it, and the lyrics. The file with the lyrics does not contain any music for the song, but the words only. If you need the link to my Music Collection, send me a PM.
  8. That news may be too recent to be mentioned in the Broadcast. The latter has been worked on for months already.
  9. It looks like summer here today. Beautiful sunny day, with temperatures going up to 57°F later (14°C). It'll be 68F by Monday and Tuesday (20C).
  10. I'm going to keep your post in a safe place... in case I accidentally reinstall WTLib from scratch. Thank you!
  11. There is one children's notebook included in Tracey's Theocratic Treasures.
  12. How did you go about changing the icon? Just curious. Personally, I prefer the old icon, and that's what I have. But in case I "accidentally" get a new version with the new icon, I want to be able to change the icon back.
  13. I'm not an expert on this, but it appears that to get that build 14074, you need a fresh reinstall of WTLib from jw.org. That means uninstalling your present version of WTLib and reinstalling from scratch. If you use the Help/Check For Updates to update, you only get the most recent catalog, not including a program update. Maybe the latter is what you have been doing.
  14. I am not showing any updates to the PDF Bible (in English) since October 27, 2025.

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    I was visited during a tract campaign in 1974. I spent the next 11 years studying on and off, with three different brothers, before finally accepting the fact that this is where I belong.

  • My favorite quotes
    If you can count the number of times you have prayed today, then you haven't prayed enough.

    The reasons some brothers and sisters give for not being at the meetings are the very reasons they should be there.

    We need to be at the meetings to "incite to love and fine works."—Hebrews 10:24. But how can you incite if you're not in sight?

    When one flees temptation, one should never leave a forwarding address.

    Never forget what Jehovah remembers, and never remember what Jehovah forgets.

    Life can be understood by looking back but it must be lived by looking ahead.

    If Satan keeps reminding you of your past, just remind him of his future.

    Man says, "Show me and I will trust you." Jehovah says, "TRUST ME AND I WILL SHOW YOU."

    Let the Mind of your Master be the Master of your mind.
