Wikipedia Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells, characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal cells that build up in the bone marrow and blood and interfere with normal blood cell production. Symptoms may include feeling tired, shortness of breath, easy bruising, bleeding, and increased risk of infection. Occasionally, spread may occur to the brain, skin, or gums. As an acute leukemia, AML progresses rapidly, and is typically fatal within weeks or months if left untreated. Risk factors include getting older, being male, smoking, previous chemotherapy or radiation therapy, myelodysplastic syndrome, and exposure to the chemical benzene

A million or more are expected in Times Square tomorrow night. There are no public toilets available. I was told that in a previous year, someone gave a public address and said, "For those wearing an adult diaper, raise your hand if you have used it yet." Of course, I wasn't there and never wanted to be. -

Different public person, Tatiana Schlossberg dies from Myeloid cancer at age 32. I am sorry for the family. It makes me appreciate that my firstborn son lived for 44 years. A couple from our cong is taking me for my oncology appt. tomorrow. My diagnosis of m=gus is also a myeloid diagnosis. My scores have been below critical mass for this. They will prob take tests tomorrow, but not results right away. Hope each of you, here, can keep up with your appts and can afford recommended treatment. I am quite behind in appts and need eye surgery, but have to pay Surgical Suite expenses up front, first. One day at a time.

Wednesday, December 31 In God I put my trust; I am not afraid.—Ps. 56:4. When you feel afraid, ask yourself, ‘What has Jehovah already done?’ Reflect on what he has created. For example, when we “observe intently” how Jehovah cares for the birds and the flowers—which were not created in his image and are not capable of worshipping him—we will build up our trust that he will care for us too. (Matt. 6:25-32) Consider also what Jehovah has done for his worshippers. You might study a Bible character who showed outstanding faith, or you might read the experience of a modern-day servant of Jehovah. Additionally, meditate on how Jehovah has already cared for you. How did he draw you to the truth? (John 6:44) How has he answered your prayers? (1 John 5:14) How are you benefiting every day from the sacrifice of his beloved Son?—Eph. 1:7; Heb. 4:14-16. w24.01 4 ¶6; 7 ¶17 -
Yes, looks very possible - even adding annual percentage increase, plus Belarus, would still leave a significant difference of around 3,000, ie way too large for a completely new land, so you're really looking for an existing listed land, or part off. And it would help to also explain the drop in Moldova's numbers 🤔 Previously, when the GB Update 2025 #7 was being discussed, there was another suggestion 🤷♂️ .... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_Region_of_Bougainville -
Which lands caught your attention? It's an interesting statistic, which I hadn't thought of before .... three lands that caught my attention where São Tomé and Príncipe, Sierra Leone, and South Sudan ....

Other lands av. Pub 2024: 210,500 Other lands av. Pub 2025 : 222,500 There was a 1.6% increase in 2025 which would bring it to 213,900. Add Belarus: 213,900+6000 = 219,900 If we add part of Moldova's 22% decrease which had to do with transnistria then we arrive at the figure displayed in the report: 222,500. -
I have no idea what happend in Moldova, but it seems like that Transnistria might be separated from Moldova in our report, and could be added as the +1 other lands? Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk -
I think I have an idea. We know that Belarus was one of the two lands newly added to the 'other lands' section of the report, and I've been wondering what the other area added could be. You've reminded me about transistria, and I suspect that this break away state of Moldova was added to the list of areas with where the brothers have legal issues that affect their worship. I believe that the reduction in publishers caused by separating transistria and the rest of Moldova was not included in the -10% loss in publishers there. This, however, still wouldn't explain why they lost 10% of their publishers

Which lands did you notice? I saw four ... https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/burkina-faso https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/central-african-republic https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/niger https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/south-sudan

Which lands stood out to you? One land had an increase of over 15%, 18 lands had increases of 10%, or more ..... There are a few interesting ones in the mix .... (NOTE: Percentage decrease for Moldova adjusted using provided SRY figures)

In Polish it works great. -
2.5% publisher increase, but total congregations are only up <1% Congregations purposely getting bigger? Or is this about shortage of Kingdom Halls? -
Something definately happened.... but what? Moldova is one of the former Soviet Republics which borders onto two countries: Ukraine and Romania. In recent years Moldova has seen a fairly significant population drop. The Moldova/Ukraine border is the location of the unrecognized breakaway republic of Transnistria. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moldova https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transnistria There also looks like a mistake in the figures? The SYR says there was a 10% decrease in Average Publishers, but the actual figures the SRYs list indicate that the number of Average Publishers went from 19,673 (2024) down to 15,422 (2025), a drop of 4,251 publishers, or a 22% decrease? Any ideas? Anyone?

Awkward is unusual and among the group of "awk words, mostly cognates."

Basically has joined the ranks of filler words like like. I heard some one on tv who used basically as the second word of most sentences, "But, basically....," "Well, basically...'" "Then, basically,,,""And, basically..."

Post in 1975 End of World ?
jwhess posted a post in a topic,
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.”
