My opinion: I see what others see outside of the US and I'm in the US. 1) A nation isolating themselves and 2) the collapse of a dual empire. As long as these fundamentals stick together but slowly fall apart in sync with GT and ultimately Armageddon we're on track. Military dominance, reserve currency, largest economy, and Silicon Valley, which is the US. UK, Global finance architecture, international legal model, 5i's (intelligence & espionage), military allied sort of like the US. That's is the Anglo-American WP and their relationship could be on a 5mm thread by the time Jehovah puts his thought in their hearts. Like someone said above. They stopped sharing intel (5i) with US over Venezuela and there has been more. Get your popcorn and let Jehovah and Jesus put on full display how Satan's system ran by humans doesn't work. Think Jerusalem, nobody got along internally. Pharisees and Sadducees hated each other. Zealots and priestly class were wild. Herodians supported Rome. The common people were suffering. It was wild internally but now it's global. No different in my view. It'll fall in-sync and on-time. Again... popcorn please.

I found this while preparing for MWM ~ "The United Nations is actually a worldly confederacy against Jehovah God and his dedicated Witnesses on earth. It is really a conspiracy, with the worldly nations getting their heads together and scheming up what they may do against the visible organization of Jehovah God on earth. During this "conclusion of the system of things," it was foreshadowed by the conspiracy referred to at Isaiah 8:12."

What identifies the kings of north and south: *** w20 May p. 3 par. 4 “The King of the North” in the Time of the End *** 4 The titles “king of the north” and “king of the south” were initially given to political powers located north and south of the literal land of Israel. Why do we say that? Notice what the angel who delivered the message to Daniel said: “I have come to make you understand what will befall your people in the final part of the days.” (Dan. 10:14) Until Pentecost 33 C.E., the literal nation of Israel was God’s people. From then on, however, Jehovah made it obvious that he viewed Jesus’ faithful disciples as his people. Therefore, much of the prophecy recorded in Daniel chapter 11 involves, not the literal nation of Israel, but Christ’s followers. (Acts 2:1-4; Rom. 9:6-8; Gal. 6:15, 16) And the identity of the king of the north and the king of the south changed over time. Even so, several factors remained constant. First, the kings interacted with God’s people in a significant way. Second, they showed by their treatment of God’s people that they hated the true God, Jehovah. And third, the two kings engaged in a power struggle with each other. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=2020400&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=10 There s only one time of truce mentioned in the prophecy: When both kings cooperate to create the disgusting thing (UN in 1945) At the very end of Daniel chapter 11 we don’t see mentioned engagement of eachothers in conflicts. merely the acts of the KOTN alone. This what we see now happening Even though there are pushings (verse 40 which is being fullfilled ever since 1991) there are no more mentions of the KOTS Isn’t this what we are seeing? Instead of focusing on what we don’t understand let us focus on what we are seeing now: Daniel prophecy is in full fulfillment. Its possible that there won’t be any more conflict between those two kings before Armageddon where all of them will be destroyed

Thank you for asking! It's been very comforting allowing certain things to go, just by admitting that I was adding things on to my own plate that had no business being on MY plate in the first place. I've been coming home a lot more mentally rested, so to speak, if that makes any sense to anyone. I've been able to pencil in small amounts of time with my wife nearly every day now. It may not be as MUCH time as we would like, but at least it's QUALITY time...and that's what really matters at the end of the day. Just by admitting that I could not be everything to everyone all the time...I felt a huge load lifted off my shoulders. Yes, there has been some guilt, especially because some people have been so used to contacting me throughout the day and speaking to me about one thing or another simply because I have the time...and now I have cut some of that off. I understand how they feel, but I am also cognitively aware that if I'm not able to be of any use to myself or to my family...then I'm actually of very little use to Jehovah. Overall, I feel extremely grateful to that brother for sitting me down and allowing me both the time and the opportunity to actually write things down on paper. That forced me to see the reality of the situation, it forced me to see that I had started adding things onto Jehovah's requirements. There has still been some hiccups, and I've failed a couple of days out of last week, but again, I feel much better about my spiritual situation...even though nothing has really changed in that regard. It's mostly my outlook that has changed, and stripping away some of those extra things that Jehovah was not asking me to do. One brother reached out to me yesterday and thanked me for taking a step back with one of the former inmates. I recommended that the former inmate reach out to this particular elder and they hit it off beautifully. He is much closer than I am and physically able to follow through on some of the good ideas that I had, like going out for lunch or dinner with some of the friends and trying to get to know those in his congregation better. The elder said he appreciated some of the advice I had given this former inmate, he said the guy had written it down and showed it to him. I told him that I had just stolen it from our publications anyway...and the brother started laughing and said yeah, but YOU'RE the one who helped him see the value of it, and how he could instantly apply it in his own life. So overall, I've felt better even with a couple of fails last week. Thank you for asking!

Here's something for Portuguese speakers. Discurso - Merete Losch - portugues.pdf

@Timl1980, your words a few days ago showed a man finally finding his even keel again. I’ve been thinking about that. How have these last six days treated you? Has the calm held? Have you felt Jehovah steadying you in ways that surprised you? YB

Yes, I could be wrong ... it has happened many times

Both UK and Israel are allies of USA. If UK was attacked by a terrorist group the way Israel was on October 7, the USA would be the first to help. As far as being an 'enemy', what can the USA do to Russia? Can't use nukes, because they will respond with nukes. The USA tries to bankrupt Russia, but it's not as easy as it sounds. Russia has made threats against USA's ally Britain, and now we see the USA make threats against Russia's ally Venezuela. It's like the KotS and the KotN can't go against each other directly. They try to hurt each other by proxy, or in some non-lethal fashion.

How are you all coming to this conclusion when the us and the uk with their shadow missles are arming ukraine? I just see demons mudding the water nothing has changed dont fall for that

Life without the news is very......peaceful. I highly recommend.

We'll see. We've been getting eight GB Updates since 2022.

Br John thinks it will be the following Friday (the first one in 2026).

Friday after Christmas is the 26th of December 2025 because Christmas is on a Thursday.

I too have difficulty to see a strong alliance between the UK and the USA. If anything I'm seeing a strong alliance between the US and Israel

Some time ago I would use the iOS Feedly app and it had its own RSS for new videos releases on JW.org. I assume it was something they hosted themselves as I couldn’t get the RSS out of feedly and into something else. (I mostly like RSS as it helps me keep track of what I’ve read/listened to by marking it read or unread. I’m hoping someday I’ll be able to add the audio files from a study WT in JW Library directly and easily to a JW Library playlist.)

This is a judgement free zone. Aside from petitioning Jehovah post as much as needed. You’ll get loving spiritual support.

Here we go again... https://www.gbnews.com/news/bbc-admits-false-donald-trump-claim-liz-cheney BBC admits falsely claiming Donald Trump wanted to shoot critic amid legal threats.

Your OS likely already comes with an antivirus pre-installed — Windows Defender. For standard home use, that is generally all you need.

The “RSS” button has been removed for some time now. I gather they are planning to depreciate it, but not sure. JW.ORG - What’s New https://www.jw.org/en/whats-new/rss/WhatsNewWebArticles/feed.xml JW.ORG Newsroom https://www.jw.org/en/news/jw/rss/NewsSubsectionRSSFeed/feed.xml There is no official RSS feed xml directly for new videos releases afaik. You need to use something else that a brother made on his own — like the one linked above.

1) The US and UK do not have to agree on everything to be dual-world power. 2) Since the UK is also part of the KotS and it hates Russia (KotN) openly, that prophecy is still being fulfilled. Is there any actual problem? I'm confused by the comments.
