  1. I try to visualize my life in the New World and describe it in an artistic style with AI. It really enlivens my faith and I have grown to love the truth even more. I am now in the process of looking deeply into what will happen after Armageddon. Right now, the chronology in my fiction book looks like this (The years are notional and fictional): 1. 2035-3035. After Armageddon, resurrection and a grand program of training began. Kiku taught the truth to the resurrected people and restored the earth. 2. 2050. Kiku met the resurrected Alice, and they found in each other soul mates, and 5 years later they were married. Together they trained tens of thousands of disciples of Jesus Christ throughout the earth and built thousands of homes. 3. The year 3035. The last man who died is resurrected. The final test has begun. Many wicked people rebelled against Jehovah and were destroyed. Kiku and Alice survived this test. The people received perfection, death no longer exists. Jesus handed over authority to Jehovah. 4. 3035-4014. Kiku and Alice traveled the earth, exploring, creating, and enjoying a perfect life. In 3914, Kiku and Alice began to design and build the Aurora spaceship and other technologies. There were Kiku and Alice's first flights into space and began preparations to travel to other galaxies. 5. 4014-∞. Kiku and Alice enjoy space adventures, exploring other galaxies in search of aliens and planets with favorable conditions. They learn new things, creating technology and telling new friends from other civilizations about Jehovah. For example, in 4072, the planet "Acklis" was discovered with flora and fauna for colonization. And in 4222, intelligent aliens "Rumitians" were discovered on the planet "Rumi" from the "Maur" galaxy. There will be endless such discoveries... But I am confused about the question regarding the resurrection on earth. When does it begin, and when does it end? It seemed to me that the verse in Revelation and our publications are contradictory. I remember there was a talk by Stephen Lethe with a clear chronology of the last understanding of how events will unfold after Armageddon. I'm looking for it now, but would appreciate it if someone could clue me in.
  2. The book will be available on Monday ! It's time to open this topic, the book will be available tomorrow.
  3. "Just See Yourself..." by Thomas Walker A Story Thousands of Years In The Making! For two thousand years, followers of Jehovah God and his son, Jesus Christ have been waiting for The Day! The Bible promises wonderful things that would take place during the Thousand Year Reign of the Messianic King. But so many people never heard that message, or never believed it could be true, when confronted with a cold and wicked world. What future for them? Hugh Alman was a pilot during the Second World War. With no idea of what the future held, he has awoken in a long promised Paradise Earth; where nobody would ever grow old, grow sick, or die. But with Eternal Life comes challenges, and rewards... and most importantly, choices. *** My whole life, we've been told to 'keep our eyes on the prize'. This book began as a form of personal study, and grew to a full sized novel. It's been one of the more rewarding efforts of my life, and I've received some very positive feedback from others in my cong. I have put the whole book up for free, chapter by chapter, on a dedicated blog. And after enough people asked for a hardcopy version, I also put it up on Amazon, as cheap as I could make it. (It was the only way to handle printing and shipping costs.) As it happens, that's what lead me to JWTalk. Looking for guidance on how to approach publication, I found the works of EK Jonathan being discussed here. Writing this book took me in a lot of directions I didn't expect, and I hope you will all enjoy it.
  4. So, one last time... "The Ending Is Part of the Story Too..." (Years 900 to 1000) The Thousand Years began with a great test. To receive the promised Eternal Life, in a perfect Utopian paradise, there remains one more challenge to overcome. Grant is the Last Returnee. His history with some of the people he meets on arrival is long and complicated... And with less than a Century left until humanity is tested for the last time, he must find his faith, and his own place in the world quickly. New faces, and returning characters alike will be tested in varied and personal ways, as danger is suddenly loosed upon a world that has all but forgotten it ever existed. "Released" is the Fifth and Final book in the 'New Earth' Series. **** First Things First: I would strongly recommend that you read the rest of the series before starting this one. I've never done that before, but this is the conclusion to the Saga, and as a result, we'll be seeing some familiar faces, returned for the Final Test. Also, I hereby declare this thread to be a Spoiler-Filled Zone. This is the discussion thread. If you're here, the assumption is that you've read as far as is possible already. I will freely admit that it's a little more suspenseful than anything else I've written in this series, and I don't want anyone finding out the ending before they get there. The book is already 'Published', but due to the current situation with Covid, it's still in processing by Amazon. I'm terribly sorry about missing my self-stated release date, even by a little while; but I really did think we were on schedule when I clicked 'Publish Now'. The delay is only likely to be another day or two, and obviously I will post here immediately. Nonetheless, I promised today as the Release Date. Hopefully, offering the first half of the book on my blog will make up for the inconvenience. Part One: Last Returnee Prologue Chapter One: The Green Letter Chapter Two: The Real Life Chapter Three: What Paradise Gives Chapter Four: Lacking Understanding Chapter Five: "If This Is Paradise…" Part Two: Final Century Chapter Six: The Purpose Of The Law Chapter Seven: Test Conditions
  5. It Wasn't The Ending. It Was Just The Beginning... Biggs first learned about the scriptural promises for the future while in prison. His sister taught him about the hope she clung to as the world got harder to live through. When the ultimate test for his new faith came, Biggs was ready; but stood alone in a Congregation he barely knew. Biggs never thought his life story would be worth writing about, but as the world came to its crashing end, he proved to be someone who could provide exactly what was needed; as a New World began for his brothers and sisters. As Biggs comes to love his new extended family, both newly Returned and familiar faces alike; it becomes clear how tightly interconnected a Global Brotherhood can be. Eternal Life in a Paradise Earth is the long promised reward for millions of Christians today; but eternity is a longer time than anyone anticipated; and so many of those Returned from the Memorial Tombs of history had overlooked an important point: When you live forever, a Thousand Years is not so long a time as it seems... *** When I started this series with 'Just See Yourself', I wrote it as four novellas. Those novellas put together made the first book. But I had written a fifth. Parts 1-4 covered Years 200-500. Part Five was set at the end of the Thousand Years. But the tone shifted too dramatically from happiness to tension, and the book as it stood was already more than novel length without adding a whole extra volume. So I cut the fifth section from the book. When the New Earth series took off, I never got back to that missing Part Five because I had other ideas to explore, and other centuries of Paradise to visit. After three novels, I decided to go back to Part Five, and expand it into a full-length book of its own. By that point, most of it didn't work anymore; as I'd filled in a lot of the timeline; and I needed to keep my own continuity; to say nothing of the extra characters. But it gave me a structure for the last novel: The end of the Millennium; and the subsequent Final Test. To make it fit with the extended universe I had written, I ended up having enough outline for two more novels; so it became my first two-parter. This novel is to be a bridge between the first three books and their characters... and the Final Test. The other purpose of this book is to contrast/compare the Test we're all expecting to go through with the Final Test at the end of the Thousand Years. I'm trying things a little differently this time, by making the book available for Pre-Order on Amazon. As advertised, it will go On Sale March 1st, as well as being available for free on the blog. Stay tuned for further developments. Also, as usual, there is a Paperback version coming, but it will be another week or three, depending on the proof copy I receive. One thing I will say right now: This is the first time I've written a novel that should be saved until after the earlier ones. I can't say why without handing out spoilers, but my first three books didn't have to be read in any particular order; as they followed different people, in different parts of Paradise. Set Free will make a lot more sense if you start with the other books first. You'd think after years of doing this, publishing would get less nerve-wracking. It doesn't. Last time I did this, I started releasing chapters on the Blog before the Kindle Version was finalized, and my most dedicated readers didn't actually want to start reading it until they could get the whole thing. I know, it may be something of an even worse Tease, handing out the Book Page like this when the book itself won't be available for another week... But then I figured: It's not really a Tease unless I'm waving a preview of the book at everyone. Prologue: Last Prayers Chapter One: Visitors. Chapter Two: Is This It? Enjoy.
  6. A new book from our brother, available now. Not about life in Paradise, or during the GT, but from the perspective of a JW teenager in the early 2000's. You can get the book on Amazon, or for free on his blog as he publishes chapter every monday, as usual. https://thebloomofyouthnovel.blogspot.com/ I'm curious about this one.
  7. Hello! Recently I got interested in starting a Book, but I don't know what Book I should read. As a Jehovah's Witness, it's hard enough to find an appropriate and a good book I guess. I was thinking the book: The girl on the train, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate or not. I searched for reviews for the movie and I am not really sure about it. Do you have any good recommendations? (Recommend me any type of book, but appropriate of course and good).
  8. The book Insight on the Scriptures (it-1 [5411-1] / it-2 [5411-2]) is not available any more in English.

  11. So I'm writing a short story of David and Goliath, but it's kind of turning into a novel. I've uploaded the first chapter, and if anyone would like to read it (5 pages) and drop a comment, I'd appreciate it. Any constructive criticism is welcome! This is really just a hobby that's been going on about 5 years or so, but I'm hoping to finish it at some point. Right now I'm at the introduction of Goliath in the Philistine camp, and it's going on 45 pages, lol. Thanks! Chapter One As per usual, all content in above link is copyrighted.
