Would you happen to, by chance, possibly have a link you could please share that is associated with this information?

It’s almost impossible not to leak. Just imagine that thousands of brothers around the world have access to this video (I’m referring to those who work in the Broadcasting department). Even if it doesn’t leak from the world headquarters or the Bethels around the world, it could leak from the RTOs of remote Bethelites or volunteers. The important thing, as has already been said, is that if the information reaches us, we should maintain confidentiality. Remember how it was in the past when new books were released at conventions

"Ulysses..." "Your son lives again."

Fascinating.

Something meant to soothe a child’s fever has taken an unexpected turn. A routine bottle of children’s ibuprofen—usually trusted, usually unremarkable—has drawn attention for the wrong reasons. Reports began to surface describing something that didn’t belong: a strange gel-like clump, and in some cases, dark particles drifting inside the liquid. Not what any parent expects when twisting open a cap. The manufacturer, Strides Pharma, responded by pulling nearly 90,000 bottles from circulation across the United States. The product in question is a familiar one—Children’s Ibuprofen Oral Suspension, 100 mg per 5 mL, packaged in 4-ounce bottles and produced for Taro Pharmaceuticals. Two specific lot numbers are at the center of the recall: 7261973A and 7261974A. Both carry an expiration date of January 31, 2027—meaning many of these bottles could still be sitting in medicine cabinets right now. The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall. That designation matters. It doesn’t suggest catastrophic danger, but it does acknowledge risk—enough that using the product could lead to temporary or reversible health effects. In other words, not harmless. Not something to ignore. If a bottle from one of those lots is on hand, the safest move is simple: don’t use it. Check the label. Match the numbers. Set it aside. Because when it comes to children’s medicine, even a small unknown becomes a big deal.

I love that I found this thread. I think my pfp says a lot

One of the many 'word pictures' in that outstanding article "Jehovah's Forgiveness—What It Means for You," was in these two cited paragraphs. There were many more.

101F today with a heatwave breaking many records for March. No cooling in sight for the next 10 days. Rain? Snow? What's that?

Friday, March 20 You have thrown all my sins behind your back.—Isa. 38:17. Today’s text could be rendered: “You have removed all my sins from your sight.” This word picture shows that Jehovah takes the sins of repentant ones and throws them out of view. This statement could also be rendered: “You have made [my sins] as if they had not happened.” The Bible further emphasizes this point in another word picture, recorded at Micah 7:18, 19. There Jehovah is spoken of as throwing our sins into the depths of the sea. In ancient times, it would have been impossible for someone to retrieve an object that had been hurled into the depths of the sea. By means of these word pictures, we have learned that when Jehovah forgives us, he relieves us of the burden of our sins. Truly, as David said, “happy are those whose lawless deeds have been pardoned and whose sins have been covered.” (Rom. 4:7) That is true forgiveness! w25.02 9 ¶7-8

Praise Jehovah. And wait for my mother to be resurrected.

There are some messages that deserve nothing but the utmost respect.

Sunny and chilly today in the 50s (but feels colder)

I will first look at where the wicked were and be really sure they're no longer there and then I will heave a deep sigh of relief.

Listen to the owls under the stars, sounds wonderful!

The first night or week. I want to sleep outside. I want to sleep on the ground in peace and be woken up by the sun.

If Jehovah and Jesus allow me to enter Paradise, I would want to wait for the resurrection. I want to see my son again—the only son I lost last year. He was just two years old. After that, my wife couldn’t bear the pain and took her own life. I just want to see my son again. That’s all that matters to me. I don’t care about anything else.

Sit under that fig tree I've been promised and catch my breath! 😂

I must admit I'm still fond of Fitly United, but they were disbanded in 2013.

Stand in front of a mirror with nothing on, to see if everything is back to where it should be.

First...I think I will cry with happiness. Thank Jehovah and then grab my husband's and children's hands and see where my brothers (leaders) are, to find out what Jehovah wants me to do.

And I am going to Glenn's house and helping him eat chocolate - as he will have too much and I want to help him be balanced. You know - like when my wife says she ate the last cookie to save me from the calories ... I am just going there to help Me leaving his home after eating all that chocolate -> Seriously, I have a feeling anything I say now would be completely changed by the events that are soon to be upon us!! I'd like to think that the first thing I will do (after saying THANK YOU!!! to our amazing God for being there) is raid my nearest Costco, 7-eleven / whatever for all the Mountain Dew I can stash. Once it is gone ... it will gone forever.

Eat a lot of chocolate.

Prayer — The First Domino with Great Impact Imagine a row of dominoes. They stand neatly one behind the other. Silent. Motionless. And then… a single stone touches the first one. Very gently. Almost unnoticed. And suddenly something begins: One stone falls… then the next… and the next… until an entire chain is set in motion. What looked so small at the beginning unfolds into something powerful. — Dear brothers and sisters, our prayer life can work in exactly the same way. At times, we might feel: “It’s just a prayer… maybe only a few words… maybe even imperfect.” But from Jehovah’s perspective, a sincere prayer is never small. It is like the first domino. And today, we want to feel together how much can be set in motion by it. — 1. The first domino: Drawing close to Jehovah When we pray, something happens first that no one can see. No big outward change. No immediate visible solution. But inside… something begins. Our heart opens. We speak with Jehovah—not formally, but honestly. Maybe we say: “Jehovah, I don’t know what to do…” or: “Please help me to stay calm…” And in that very moment, something wonderful happens: Jehovah draws close to us. He doesn’t just hear the words—he hears the heart behind them. Perhaps we have experienced that after a prayer, we didn’t immediately receive an answer… but suddenly we no longer felt alone. That is the first stone falling: Closeness to Jehovah. And this closeness is the foundation for everything that follows. — 2. The second domino: Inner peace When Jehovah is close to us, something inside us changes. The circumstances may still be the same… but our heart is no longer the same. A storm may still be raging outside… but within us, it becomes calmer. Thoughts that were once spinning begin to settle. Fears lose some of their power. Maybe you know this feeling: You go into prayer full of worries… and you rise with a quiet peace. Not loud. Not overwhelming. But present. Like a gentle light in the darkness. That is the second domino: Inner peace. — 3. The third domino: A change in our heart And this peace does not remain without effect. It begins to shape our heart. Maybe we were tense before… and now we react more patiently. Maybe we were hurt… and suddenly we find the strength to forgive. Maybe we were restless… and now we can listen calmly. Prayer doesn’t just change our feelings— it changes who we are. And often, we don’t even notice it right away. But others… do. That is the third domino: A changed heart. — 4. The fourth domino: Influence on others And now something very special happens. Our changed way of being does not remain with us. It touches others. Maybe it’s a kind word you say… maybe a patient look… maybe a moment when you don’t react harshly but remain calm. To you, it may seem like something small. But for someone else… it may be exactly what they needed that day. Perhaps that person thinks: “Why is he so calm?” “Why is she so kind?” And without even realizing it, you pass on something that began in prayer. That is the fourth domino: Influence on others. — 5. The fifth domino: Jehovah is honored And at the end of this chain stands something great. Something we often don’t fully see. When others observe our behavior… when they see love, patience, and peace… they notice something. Maybe not immediately in a conscious way… but they sense: There is something different here. And in time, this can lead them to Jehovah. Maybe through a question… maybe through a conversation… maybe through a thought that begins to grow in their heart. And so Jehovah is honored— through something that began with a simple prayer. That is the fifth domino: Jehovah is glorified. — A heartfelt illustration Imagine the following situation: It is early in the morning. Everything is quiet. Maybe you are sitting alone… perhaps with a heavy heart. You pray. Very honestly. Maybe with tears in your eyes. No one hears you. No one sees you. It seems like such a small moment. But in that very moment, the first domino falls. Later, you go out… you meet someone… and without consciously planning it, you are kind, calm, loving. That person notices. Perhaps they themselves are carrying a burden. And your way of being gives them a small piece of hope. And that person… may pass that hope on to someone else later. And so a chain begins… A chain you will never fully see. But Jehovah sees it. He sees every single “stone” that has fallen. Every moment. Every effect. — Final thought Dear brothers and sisters, our prayers are never insignificant. Even if they are quiet. Even if they are short. Even if they are imperfect. They are the first push in the domino effect. And that push can set things in motion far beyond what we can see. That is why it is worth continuing to pray. To pray honestly. To pray again and again. Because every prayer has the power to set a chain of goodness in motion. And Jehovah… he sees every single moment of it. And it brings him joy.
