  1. Past hour
  2. I haven't looked at the videos, but parody is generally legally protected as Fair Use. Parody: To entertain, mock, or pay playful homage to the original material.
  3. That has been discussed here many times, please do a search for the key words you are interested in and you will find several topics about it. You can also do a search on WOL and see what information has been published by WHQ.
  4. Ok, then I think few of my videos should be deleted.. Moderators, pls help.
  5. exactly @secondofseven assuming they can get around the agents or just hackaton on authoritative dns by bad certificates like i posted above. https://cybersecuritynews.com/node-js-releases-security-updates/ https://thehackernews.com/2026/10/threatsday-adobe-rce-dns-wallet-theft.html granted its not affected dns servers yet like that. but anyone from their computer mac or pc can do this from command or terminal. nslookup jw.org Non-authoritative answer: Name: jw.org Address: 18.65.25.82 Name: jw.org Address: 18.65.25.109 Name: jw.org Address: 18.65.25.22 Name: jw.org Address: 18.65.25.71 dns ties domain names to ip addresses. can you imagine trying to remember to type in those 4 ip addresses to get to our website? i'm not saying the society doesn't have the tech to mitigate threats but on paper? 😬 dns is very important. if any sort of authoritative dns gets compromised because of the certificate issue. those ip addresses can be briefly changed, expose a hosted cloud pool, and so much more. they can leave our servers intact and just reroute to another host with ai agents. so if the gov. or threat actors want to take over jw.org and make real some of the artwork in pubs/vids, misinformation and the things we talk about here a reality. we just have to be alert and aware. train discernment/conscience now. just my 2cents though.
  6. But I'm not sure that is true, this forum is based on Invision Community which is based on PHP.
  7. I’m not a moderator, but animating a copyrighted image from JW.org would generally create a derivative work—an adaptation of the original image. Adding movement does not remove the original copyright. Creating such adaptations generally requires the copyright owner’s permission, unless a legal exception applies. JW.org’s personal-use permission does not expressly authorize these adaptations, and its terms specifically prohibit posting its artwork or photos on other websites. https://www.jw.org/en/terms-of-use/
  8. According to second of seven (joel) it is not. It is the second response down from top...
  9. Critical GitLab Flaw (CVSS 10.0) Could Allow Unauthenticated RCE Across 12 Years of Releases https://thehackernews.com/2026/10/critical-gitlab-flaw-cvss-100-could.html Scoop: Unvetted AI agents are accessing U.S. bank accounts https://www.axios.com/2026/10/22/ai-agents-banks-unauthorized-accounts-access ai will likely be governing the financial/economic systems soon. almost a guarantee.
  10. Today
  11. Nice video. This makes me wonder about the animals. Mostly wild animals, too. Does anyone have a thought about their temperment during their time in the ark? It's interesting to think they didn't rip each other apart. Was their nature, as we understand them to be today, subdued by Jehovah's power in the ark until they were released back into the wild post flood? Gen 1:30 says the wild animals were given green vegetation to eat. Does this suggest the animals pre-flood were docile and could be why they coexisted while in the ark? Or, did they become more aggressive post flood, and contributing to their aggression further was man's neglect and abuse of them? I hope I make sense. Again, nice video.
  12. We keep getting invitations from the Neptune Society for a lunch presentation at Red Lobster. It's disconcerting to think of talking about cremation while eating seafood that's been fried, boiled or broiled. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Pass the cocktail sauce please"
  13. Thats only in the scenario somebody has unauthorised access (identity theft for example) without comprimising the identity system itself. Quick removal requires the rest of our infrastructure to remain intact. If for example our account systems for inlog / identification / authentication ever get hacked then access to every system connected to it will be blocked. If somebody gains higher level access then changed content would be the least of our worries. Rerouting of the website to other servers, encrypting our data and ransomware it etc comes to mind.
  14. True, its not likely we will ever see any of the GB wearing a MAGA hat or suggesting we vote because it will fulfill a Bible prophecy...🤣
  15. That's him? I thought it was a Jedi. Things of the multiverse.
  16. Also trust that the brothers are constantly monitoring the website so that, if it were to get hacked, the altered information would be removed quickly and that steps would be taken to prevent users (us) from seeing the wrong information.
  17. We know the voice of our shepherd. Remember the letter the KGB intercepted and the fake one they sent out? Real Christians could tell that the new letter wasn't biblically-based and so will we. We have discernment - we know what the Bible teaches and how to reason on principles. The GB will never ask us to sin, so we know not to follow those instructions. Our daily studies will make sure we are not fooled by false reasoning and we will easily spot and reject directions that go against scripture. Any instruction besides that might be a trick (such as "turn yourselves in"), but if we follow such instructions and they turn out to be a trap - so what? Is Jehovah too weak to rescue us? Of course not! And Jehovah will see that we fell into such a trap because we have faith in him. He may even turn the situation to our favor. So 1) we don't need to fear false scriptural directions because we know Jehovah's voice and 2) we don't need to fear a police trap because Jehovah can rescue us. What else is there to fear?
  18. Perhaps Jesse did not love his son David as much as Jacob loved his son Joseph. However, we cannot say this with certainty or make such a definite statement. David was very young, and in Jesse’s eyes, he was an insignificant person. When Jesse presented his older sons, he was proud of them and hoped that they would achieve greater things in life. This is normal and natural for parents, but sometimes they put their other children in the background. This is something that happens in real life. Dear parents, do not divide your children into those who have good prospects and those who have not yet established themselves in life. In Jehovah’s eyes, every child is very important and precious.—1 Samuel 16:7 *** fl chap. 9 p. 118-119 par. 10-11 Training Children from Infancy *** 10 Each child is different, with a unique personality, and should be helped to develop in harmony with its individual inherited potential and gifts. If you train each child to develop its inherited strengths and abilities, it will not need to feel envy at the accomplishments of other children. Each child should be loved and appreciated for itself. While helping it to overcome or control wrong inclinations, you should not try to force the child into a predetermined mold. Rather, guide it to the best use of its own good personality traits. 11 A parent can foster a spirit of selfish competition by implying either the superiority or the inferiority of one child as compared with another. Whereas little children early in life show signs of inborn selfishness, they are initially free from ideas of rank, superiority, and feelings of self-importance. That is why Jesus could use a little child as an example to correct the spirit of ambition and concern for personal importance his disciples showed on a certain occasion. (Matthew 18:1-4) So, avoid comparing one child unfavorably with another. The child may take this as a rejection. First it will feel hurt, and if this treatment continues, it will likely turn hostile. On the other hand, the child presented as superior may become haughty and incur the dislike of others. As a parent, your love and acceptance should never be dependent upon how one child compares with another. Variety is delightful. An orchestra has many different kinds of instruments to add variety and richness, yet all are in harmony. Different personalities add flavor and interest to the family circle, yet harmony will not be impaired when all pattern themselves after their Creator’s right principles. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1101978009#h=13-14
  19. It's like God is standing inside of a glass box in the middle of a crowd. He can see out of the box, but people from the outside only see a hazy mirror. Most people ignore the box or pretend it doesn't exist, but he takes notice of everyone who looks in his direction as they pass by, everyone who stands and stares, and everyone who sits down and ponders. They aren't the norm. If Jehovah were looking out at the world, would he see that our heart is pondering his name? Would he see spiritual hunger, good study habits, deep meditation? How often do we glance at Jehovah?
  20. I always assume everybody has an external hard drive with all jwpub / mp3 / pdf / mp4 content downloaded, tucked away in the disaster backpack ... 😎 Off course also a rugged laptop to have it available without internet. But maybe I read to much prepper blogs. 🫣

    • 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.”

      We have our Circuit Assembly this weekend (with the Branch Rep), so I'll be rather scarce around here. I'm waiting to find out who the Rep is going to be.
       
      Well, actually it's Sunday. But I'm going to cheat and watch the streamed version on Saturday. (Don't tell anyone.)

      Do you think the pope has already been preached to personally? Or at least been sent a letter?

      Our Kingdom Hall is hosting 3 weeks of Elders schools starting tomorrow. 
       
      We organised some of the kids to make a welcome banner. The bros who were prepping today loved it. 
       
      our sister Cong had these carts made 
       
      We also have these to put up 
       
      And every elder and instructor (hopefully) will also get a keyring at the last day of their school.

       
      Can you tell we’re all excited? Gonna be long days (we’ve got to arrive by 6:15am) but I’m sure at the end it’ll all be worth it!

      Does anyone have a list of the first 24 songs from the organization? I promise im not gonna memorize them and randomly sing them to a coworker to being her back to her childhood 😏. I think at one point the song numbers changed, she told me about how she used to have to play ‘we are Jehovah’s witnesses’  (song 63) on the piano but left the organization when there were 24 songs. 
       
      side note i got her to agree to go to the memorial next year but the exchange was id have to go to her church once. I feel that is a fair trade.

      Last Tuesday i finally got to meet the people at my new congregation, and they were pretty warm and welcoming to me. It reminded me of how great is the unity that exists in this wonderful brotherhood.

      My wife recently had major surgery and the hospital has a home care nurse check on her once a week. We have had three different nurses and my wife has given each of them a contact card. 😁
