    There are some who become Jehovah’s Witnesses while in the military. They have to go through a process to leave in order to be baptized and be official, but they could begin to identify as a witness before they are officially out. As part of the consciencious objector process, you are assigned a chaplain to verify the validity of your claim. My husband went through the process. He was no longer on active duty but was still part of the military and could have been called up. If he hadn’t of left when he did he would have been part of desert storm. It’s still odd in the sense there’s no JW chaplains in the military but I’m guessing that’s one of the reasons we got on the list.

    Tuesday, June 9 In every respect you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in this matter.—2 Cor. 7:11. You may be troubled by some of your past actions that have hurt others. What can help? Do what you can to repair the damage, including offering a sincere apology. Ask Jehovah to come to the aid of those affected by your actions. He can help you and those you have hurt to endure and to regain peace. Learn from past mistakes, and be willing to let Jehovah use you in whatever way he chooses. Note the example of the prophet Jonah. Instead of traveling to Nineveh as God had commanded, Jonah fled in the opposite direction. Jehovah disciplined Jonah, and he learned from his mistake. (Jonah 1:1-4, 15-17;2:7-10) Jehovah did not give up on Jonah. God gave him another opportunity to go to Nineveh, and this time Jonah promptly obeyed. He did not let regret over his past mistake prevent him from accepting this assignment from Jehovah.—Jonah 3:1-3. w24.10 8-9 ¶10-11

    I managed to install all the publications that Brother Erik sent me, and you did too. Here's the step-by-step: 1. Back up the JW Library 2. Uninstall the JW Library 3. Install the JW Library (older version), it can be from 2024 4. Download the publications from the link 5. Update the JW Library on the Play Store Note: the publications you downloaded from the JW Library will need to be downloaded again Thanks brother Erik for the tip!
  11. Jim Jam
    I don't understand the point of this list since there's a "other religions" section, so doesn't that basically mean that every religion that exists is on the list?
  12. Dolce vita
    That last post, in and of itself, fully justifies the pilot project: providing real-time information (breaking news June 4, 2026) through a channel that isn’t as restricted as JW.org. With their immediacy and global reach, social media platforms can make a real difference in raising awareness about how our brothers and sisters are being persecuted around the world simply because they refuse to renounce Jehovah and turn their backs on him. At the same time, we explain who we really are: the neighbor, the classmate, the local doctor, the journalist we might see on TV... May Jehovah therefore bless this project so that it may endure if that is His will!
  13. Parale
    Yes........ but 🤣 the list has now been updated .... "Last week, a proposed list of simplified faith codes was released to the media. The Pentagon list included redundant and unnecessary labeling, and the mistake has been fixed." Except I didn't think it actually was presented as being a "proposed" list, but rather it was signed off as being the new list? 🤷‍♂️

    It's the bouncing too. It just makes you want to bounce with it.

    OK - I found there is an available update package on JW.org for manual installation Update Watchtower Library | JW.ORG Help Just scroll down till you see this portion of the page and click the download button

    Is this another one of those updates that requires a new installation since it is not showing up when checking for updates?

    This has to be one of the better AI videos I've seen.

    For example, for a time the Broadcasting service aired programs on different platforms 24 hours a day. Later it was discontinued and became part of jw.org.
  23. chuck83
    I spent a lot of time on bases (El Toro, Tustin & Camp Pendleton) myself but as a kid. I come from a military family on both sides. Only one side is still pretty active. So while yes one side were JWs in the 80s/90s, we still went to the VA-health care (a lot of VA medical centers), military pensions, got food cheaper, air shows, and other little things. The military helped grandpa with job placement as witnesses too. But from what I remember it was always kept in its place.
  24. AYMA
    Pretty sure it depends on the base. Over the yrs the restrictions have become more severe. At the Marine base in my area: No, no formal witnessing. I heard we were allowed several years ago. Now, no. Occasionally there may be a BS who lives on base and naturally yes we can enter, with permission/ sponsorship.
  25. careful started following JW Pressroom on Social Media and Antipsychotic drugs
  26. careful
    i actually do have this experience and found it to be unpredictable and dangerous and frightening. I would not recommend proceeding without doctors supervision.
  27. Brandon
    Oh, I thought you meant we preach door to door there. Do we do organized/formal witnessing there?

    “Healthy people do not need a physician, but those who are ill do.” — Matthew 9:12 You didn’t mention your son’s diagnosis, which makes it impossible for anyone here to give relatable advice, but I strongly encourage you to watch this video and see how a sister with mental health issues was able to apply the above verse in her life: https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/VODIntExpEndurance/pub-mwbv_202309_1_VIDEO Here’s a sample from the transcript:
  29. AYMA started following Religion in the news
  30. AYMA
    Yes, somewhat. Here at the 29Palms base there are shops and fast food places relatively close to each other, also apts, housing; campgrounds; training facilities, theatres, gyms, even a small golf course. Whereas at Camp Pendleton shops etc are more spread out; there are also a couple of campgrounds and vacation 'cabins'. Edwards AFB is also spread out and have the same sort of facilities. My husband retired from DOD. We have camped at several bases over many years.

    Poland in my town: ➡️ 5,99 zł/l thats more or less 6,15 USD/gallon. ⛽

    I’ve never been to a base nor seen one. Is it like a town?

      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.”

      My work is delayed for a week. 
      My UPS that power my entire workstation catastrophically failed, and I’ve never been scared in my life seeing it emitting lots of smoke and loud sparks. 
       
      This scares me because I was originally planning to go out of town this weekend. If I had gone, my place could have burned down. Thankfully, I decided not to leave town this weekend.

      I think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)

      There were many JW artists I followed on Instagram, they created beautiful Christian illustrations. But for some reason many deleted their accounts out of the blue, no trace left.

      It's time for me to take a break from JWTalk for just a bit. We have our Regional Convention starting tomorrow! For those of us confined to watching the convention on a screen (rather than in person), at least they give us a choice of watching the recorded version from the US, or the live streamed version of our own convention (with the local brothers doing the parts). Because of the convention, I likely won't have time to peek in here at all.
       
      So, enjoy the weekend everyone!
