    I wish this would all wrap up soon. It is getting worse as days go by. DAYS not years anymore. Interestingly, there are still people to reach. There are those still responding, looking, wondering, asking. I found a beautiful young couple at a door to door service day and, she has this 2 year old little girl that looks like my oldest daughter when she was that age. Anyways, I took a sister about this persons age and introduce her to the householder. They got along so well that I past the call to her and her husband. My husband asked me why did I give her away? ........I think because she's much younger than myself and, I'm trying in all ways to not fit the mold of a mother status and they be turned off. Its a different generation so.....I fit them in with the right generation? Does that make sense? Well.....its my reasoning anyways. I want them to have a chance and..... speaking with those of their own age might make the difference. That is my imperfect thought.

    Also, take Lloyd’s of London for example. A huge portion of global shipping contracts use English law. Shipping doesn’t move without insurance. And that’s where Lloyd’s of London comes into the picture. It is a global hub for maritime insurance. They cover oil tankers and war risks (very important for straits like Hormuz). Whoever insures the ship has leverage over global trade. So, the United States is not the absolute world power.
  5. GodlyDevotion
    No, not quite. There were many world powers in the past that lost wars and were still dominant. Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Ancient Greece, Roman Empire, have all faced terrible defeats while still maintaining world dominance. We cannot use wars as the only measuring stick for global dominance. Also, the United States is not the only absolute king of the south. It’s UK/US (the Anglo-American world powers). The UK has a great deal of influence in transnational capital. In fact, it is the largest trading hub in the world. The US has the most powerful military in the world. I don’t think that will change. However, I am also reminded of Revelation 17:12-14. Ten Kings will receive authority for one hour. Here is a snippet of the Revelation Book, “Hence, in the first century, the ‘ten horns had not yet received a kingdom.’ But now in the Lord’s day, they have “a kingdom,” or political authority.” We don’t know who they are. If I am to guess, I would say France, China, Japan, etc. There is a lot we don’t know about power struggles in the final part of the last days.

    Saying "a Jehovah's Witness elder" in french is awkward, because elder and former are the same word ('ancien').

    So "a Jehovah's Witness elder" sounds the same as "a former Jehovah's Witness"

    2026 NFL Champions Seattle Seahawks lost 3 games in the regular season. The Bible does not say the Kings of the North and South must win every war they engage in. They are kings, or world powers because they are the most dominant nations (or allied nations) on Earth at this time. The US not achieving its military objectives (whatever those are) in Iraq won't suddenly topple the US/UK from its position of dominance. It's not like Iraq is suddenly going to be a superpower. Plus, as absolutely horrible as this current situ is, it's not the type of war that results in the loser fading in obscurity. The US was never planning on taking over Iraq and ruling it. Likewise, Iraq is never going to defeat the United States. It might resist, but won't defeat. You yourself said it. A king does not need to win every fight. Tell me this, what, exactly, would a US victory look like?

    I'll try. The four main components of blood are: 1. Red blood cells - fractions obtained from these include hemoglobin-based blood substitutes 2. White blood cells - fractions obtained from these are interferons and interleukins 3. Plasma - fractions obtained from this is albumin, globulins, and clotting factors 4. Platelets - fractions obtained from these including wound healing factor (platelets are what helps the blood to clot) 1. Hemoglobin blood substitutes include Hemopure, ErythroMer, PolyHeme, and hemoglobin vesicles. This helps carry oxygen to cells in your body. 2. Interferons are signaling proteins (cytokines) made by host cells that help fight infection. Interleukins help mediate communication between WBCs, and help immune responses to pathogens 3. Albumin is a protein made by the liver that prevents leakage from blood vessels and transports hormones throughout the body. Globulins are blood proteins also made the the liver and help with clotting and fighting infection. There four types of globulins: alpha-1 (antitrypsin), alpha-2 (macroglobulin), beta globulin (transferrin), and gamma globulin (IgA, IgM, IgG). RhoGam is a type of globulin injection, given to pregnant women who have Rh factor complications. 4. Wound healing factor (fibrin) helps with blood clotting.

    I dont think she was saying that a king must win every fight...but think of it this way...how can someone remain a king if they are defeated? Or for example a football game....would you say that the team that was defeated are looked at as the champions? The U.S. wont be defeated as they are apart of the last world power.

    Trump’s address: President Donald Trump used familiar talking points in his first address to the nation on the Iran war, telling Americans the war is “nearing completion” and projected another two or three weeks of involvement. However, Trump signaled that the US is prepared to intensity its military response in the remaining time period and threatened to bring Iran “back to the stone ages.” https://www.cnn.com/webview/2026/04/01/world/live-news/iran-war-us-trump-oil?cid=android_app

    On that note https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/31/politics/strait-of-hormuz-open-trump?cid=android_app President Donald Trump and his administration increasingly believe that they can’t promise to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as a prerequisite to declaring “mission accomplished” in the war with Iran, sources familiar with the discussions tell CNN.

    Michael—welcome.

     

    Romania feels like one of those places where the past and present are constantly in quiet conversation… mountains that have seen generations come and go, cities that carry their history without needing to say much about it. There’s something grounding about that.

     

    I noticed you’re serving as a publisher—that’s meaningful. It also brings to mind how the work has continued to move forward across Eastern Europe, including Romania, often under changing conditions, yet with a steady kind of faith that doesn’t draw attention to itself—but endures.

     

    I’m really glad you’re here. Communities like this benefit from thoughtful voices, and I have a feeling yours will be one of them.

     

    Looking forward to hearing from you when you’re ready.

    Hey Logan—welcome!

     

    Sherman has that wide-open North Texas feel to it—big skies, steady pace, and a strong sense of community.

    It’s a great place to be grounded while still staying active, especially if you enjoy things like running and staying sharp with computer science.

     

    I noticed your “Hello Everyone” post—jumping in like that says a lot. It takes a certain openness to step into a new space and engage right away, and that kind of presence adds something real to the whole community.

     

    I was also thinking about how Jehovah’s people have come together in Texas during difficult times—like the relief work highlighted on JW.org after the winter storms. It’s a reminder of how quickly genuine unity forms, even among those who have just met.

     

    Glad you’re here. Hope you settle in easily and enjoy the conversations—there’s a lot of good ahead.

    Hi Hayley—welcome! It’s nice to see someone here from Myrtle Beach. That whole area has such a relaxed, coastal feel to it… you can almost sense it just hearing the name.

     

    A few publishers from my congregation actually head down your way each summer, so Myrtle Beach has come up in conversation quite a bit over the years—I’ve always been a little curious what it’s like during that season when everything comes alive.

     

    It’s really encouraging to see you jump right in as a publisher and already engaging with others. That kind of spirit makes a real difference in a community like this.

     

    I was thinking of a report from Madagascar where brothers and sisters would travel long distances just to be together for meetings—it really highlights how much we all value association, no matter where we are.

     

    Glad you’re here, Hayley. Looking forward to seeing more of your thoughts and getting to know you.

      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.”

      Seeing that you’re in Accra immediately brings a picture to mind—the coastline, the warm air, and that steady, lively rhythm of the city. There’s a real sense of community there that stands out.
       
      Ghana has such a beautiful spiritual history too. I was thinking of the Yearbook accounts that highlighted how the brothers there showed steady faith and endurance even during difficult periods—those reports always leave an impression, because they reflect a deep love for Jehovah that continues to this day.
       
      It’s especially encouraging to see that you’re a baptized publisher. That says a lot about your commitment and the path you’ve chosen, and it’s something we all value deeply.
       
      Your being here matters. Each brother brings something that can strengthen others, and I’m sure your experiences and perspective will do just that.

      Hi Dawn 😊
       
      It’s nice to meet someone else from northern Ohio—there’s something about that part of the country that just feels steady and genuine. Between the lake air and those big seasonal changes, it has a quiet kind of beauty that grows on you.
       
      I really appreciated how you’ve already been jumping in—asking about the Zoom chats, getting involved, even welcoming others. That kind of openness makes a space feel warm right away, and it shows you’re here to connect, not just pass through.
       
      It reminded me of an experience shared in the 2016 Yearbook about individuals in the United States who, after time away, found real joy again simply by reconnecting and engaging with others. That same spirit really comes through in the way you’ve been participating.
       
      I’m on the Zoom chats pretty regularly—hope to see you there sometime. There’s usually a lot of laughing, and it’s a really relaxed way to get to know everyone a little better.
       
      Really glad you’re here. Looking forward to getting to know you more along the way.

      Seeing you’re in the UK always makes me think about how naturally history just lives there—old stone, quiet streets, places that have seen so much without needing to say a word. There’s something steady about that.
       
      I’ve actually gotten to know a few friends from the UK over the past few years. We usually meet up for a chat on the first Friday of each month—though it’s been a little while since I’ve seen some of them. I’m hoping to reconnect with a few in just a couple of days.
       
      If that’s something you’d enjoy, you’re more than welcome to join in. The details are posted under Calendar, and it’s open to anyone else reading this as well.
       
      It’s good to have you here. Communities like this are shaped by the people who take part, and I think you’ll find your place in it.

      Hello Stefano,
       
      It is a genuine pleasure to welcome you.
       
      Italy carries a remarkable sense of history and quiet dignity—especially in the north, where the landscape itself seems to invite reflection. It feels like a place where one naturally pauses, considers, and appreciates what truly matters.
       
      I understand you are a baptized publisher, and that speaks volumes. It reflects a decision not made lightly, but with conviction and purpose. Over the years, the growth of the work in Italy—particularly among English-speaking congregations—has stood as a quiet testament to perseverance and faith. There is a steadiness there that is deeply admirable.
       
      I have a lifelong friend serving in northern Italy in those same congregations, so seeing your name here carries a certain familiarity—almost as though the field itself has reached across the distance.
      Your presence here is not incidental. It contributes. It strengthens. And, whether immediately seen or not, it encourages.
       
      I look forward to hearing your thoughts—and to the conversations that lie ahead.

      Hey Brian—really nice to see someone from Zambia join us. That part of the world always stands out to me… there’s a kind of natural beauty there—wide skies, open land—that just feels steady and grounded.
       
      I was thinking about an experience from Zambia where the brothers kept moving the work forward despite limited resources—it really highlighted how Jehovah’s spirit fills in what’s missing and keeps things advancing.
       
      And seeing that you’re baptized and serving as a publisher—that tells me you’re already actively engaged where it matters most. That kind of faith and consistency adds something real to a community like this.
       
      Glad you’re here with us. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and getting to know you better along the way.
