  1. Would there even need to be an event? Does Jehovah need to wait on an event before putting his one thought into their hearts?
  2. How quick will that be? Would there be enough time during? How peaceful will the world be during the destruction of false religion? Destruction isn't peaceful. Nuclear weapons might be used. Thousands or millions of people might die. Would anyone sincerely say that would be a time of peace and security?
  3. Official Social Media Accounts: As a pilot program, the organization has established official social media accounts on Instagram and TikTok under the name JW Pressroom. All materials will be posted only in English. The material on these platforms is specifically de­signed for a secular audience—government officials, journalists, and researchers. Publish­ers can continue to rely on JW Broadcasting and the “News” section of jw.org for encourag­ing updates on our activities.
  4. And a post would change that? People out in service want to tell me I don't believe in Jesus while I'm inviting them to a convention about Jesus
  5. Is this a list of religions whose members are approved to go on base?
  6. It really was. I don't want to live in the big city but Brooklyn around 21 and 121 Columbia Heights was very nice and relaxing. I could enjoy living there. I've noticed the number of TV shows that film in that location has seamed to have increased. No doubt this spurs some of the increased tourism.
  7. They can't edit it as you suggest. Only the brothers at Bethel have control.
  8. You must have hit your free limit. I was able to read the entire article. I could X out of the pay window.
  9. Why not? Haven't we been doing this since 1879? Aren't Jesus words public? He's the one who first mentioned it.
  10. I paid something like $3.85 yesterday at Costco. Granted, it's Costco and they are always cheaper than nearly everyone else. Still, while gas prices shot up some, they are still somewhat reasonable. Somewhat.
  11. I don't understand how you reached this understanding. The Slave has and will never give us a list of approved websites, social media accounts, movies, music, books, or any other form of entertainment. I understand your concern and, as stated above, held the same opinion until it was made clear this is a legitimate account ran by the Organization. The same way they are protected from apostates when using any other social media platform such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, any news site feedback and comments section, etc... It is up to each of us to "make sure of all things and hold fast to what is fine". This particular Instagram account is not a means apostates can use to freely comment on. There are no comments allowed. Apostates have no direct access to anyone through this Instagram account. If any of us receive unsolicited messages from people we do not know, we should be extremely cautious. This is simple safe internet conduct regardless of where we are accessing online.
  12. Ah! I don't have Tik Tok. Guess that's why I couldn't see it.
  13. The announcement is already out. Congregation elders in the US received it yesterday. Some may already have had this announced last night at their mwm or tonight if any have a Friday meeting. There are no instructions in the announcement that publishers should not like, share, or subscribe. The announcement does state this is a pilot program, the content is intended for media outlet and publishers should continue to use jw.org to receive news and updates. That's it. That's the entire announcement. If the Organization did not want us liking, sharing, or subscribing, they would not have made the account live, nor released an announcement to the congregations. The Slave knows how us sheep think and act
