Grab the opportunity that we are experiencing peace. Time will come we are be tested with fire like gold. Learn from the bear where during summer they use the abundance of food in preparation of hibernation during winter. Remember what Bro. Sanderson's talk last 2018 annual meeting 4 things to secure during the peace times.

Accurate knowledge, practice and application, consequence observations, associating with mature ones doing the same thing, and sealing the deal constantly with specific prayer. All my talks, favorite scriptures, LMD appendix A, scriptures that help others, etc. Holding those ideas and principles closely. There is no better database than your brain with practice and reps. Holy Spirit to help you recall when you need it. Don't need a website.

QUESTION: For those of you who have JW Library running nicely on a virtual machine, Waydroid, Wine, etc? Are you able to sync all your study notes? Or is JW Library just the basic library with no personal notes, highlighting, etc?

Well I am late to the party and I didn't catch your posts until it was number 2. But welcome anyway.

I came here to look for ideas but saw the question. I make ribbon bookmarks; round magnets using glass cabochons with a scripture on them; keyrings; and I also have an assortment of pens and pencils. None of these things are large but all can be useful. The bag dangle/keyring in the pic was a specific request for a friend who loves Paris. The split ring can be removed so it can be used as both. Most keyrings I make slightly differently to this one, but you get the idea.

The Artaxerxes that Nehemiah was familiar with was Achaemenid Persian king, the 6th king of that line who reigned 465–425 BCE. He was the son of Xerxes l. The Greeks called him “long-hand.” It is believed his right arm or hand was obviously longer. He ended the Persian wars and rebuilt the palace of Persepolis. He is known for tolerance enabling the Jews to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, and marking the chronological countdown to the Messiah. (Artaxeres was thought to have previously been negative toward the Jewish people in his dynasty.)

Cryptic. Since my comment was in reference to a work of fiction, you're either endorsing the author for his right to speculate; or, endorsing "speculation" itself. Or both, I guess. Speculation as entertainment (fantasy without boundaries) is in a class of its own. Let the buyer, and the reader, beware.

Agreed. I think part of the reason we won't be destroyed is because when the other religions are protesting we will quietly make moves to go underground. The authorities will be so busy with riots and court cases we won't be a priority.

Covid proved we do not need Kingdom Halls in order to worship together. Offering literature is no longer our ministry focus. Instead it is starting conversations and informal witnessing. They can take our Kingdom Halls and outlaw door to door ministry, but they will never silence us.

One brother had this issue who said he uninstalled and installed again but still had the problem. I told him before uninstalling to clear the storage and the cache then uninstall and try again. That worked.

False religion will be destroyed, agreed, but we will be attacked right along with them. This initial attack gets cut short so we can escape in some way, but we don't know what that is going to look like. We may lose all of our property or be imprisoned before the final attack at Armageddon.

The prophecy says all FALSE religion will be destroyed. (Great tribulation) JW is true religion. After ... however ... when JW are the only ones ... Gog of Magog attacks. And then – Armageddon!

I never claimed to know what is going to happen. He couldn't imagine a scenario - that series has a scenario. Simple pimple.

That’s fiction… in reality we have absolutely no idea as to what will happen

Very apropos counsel for us now, now at the end times. Case in point: my daughter just returned from a cruise to Mexico, which was planned far in advance of the recent unrest, giving her family pause as to whether to go. They ended up going and visited a dear sister in one of the port shopping areas that we met in the past. When asked how they were faring there in Mazatlán, she said there had been no problems in that area and that they were freely moving about in the city. Her main advice was to carefully weigh the info received through the media, as it resembles nothing like they are experiencing. Others in that area said much the same, warning that there is so much fake reporting for sensationalism and AI generated news, that you cannot rely on it for facts. Of course that is an area of Mexico where tourism is big, but we trust what our sister had to say. It may be very different in other parts of Mexico, but Paul's words still apply nonetheless. How thankful we can be that we can trust the instrument that Jehovah and his Son are using to give us what we need. And we can tell by our Bible-trained conscience when something doesn't sound right—if it is not as Paul put it—"in my own hand, which is a sign in every letter I write."

In the early days of automobiles it was required in England that a man carry a red flag ahead of the automobile to warn pedestrians. The speed limit was just two miles an hour in the city and four miles an hour in the country.

Last us official declared war was 1941. NATO or not, US has a war economy and will stay out of conflict for just awhile. Agree with one disaster after another in a regime that feeds off the blood its reluctant youth.

Welcome, brother Krzysztof! Love to have techie brothers in this forum!

Tuesday, March 10 Keep holding to the standard of wholesome words.—2 Tim. 1:13. What could happen if we deviated from “the standard of wholesome words”? Consider an example. In the first century, a rumor was apparently circulating among some Christians that the day of Jehovah had arrived. There may have been a letter—supposedly written by the apostle Paul—that made such an assertion. Without taking the time to check the facts, some Christians in Thessalonica believed the rumor and were even spreading it. They would not have been fooled had they remembered the things Paul had taught them when he was still with them. (2 Thess. 2:1-5) Paul counseled his brothers not to believe everything they heard. And to help them in the future, Paul concluded his second letter to the Thessalonians with the words: “Here is my greeting, Paul’s, in my own hand, which is a sign in every letter; this is the way I write.”—2 Thess. 3:17. w24.07 12 ¶13-14

Perhaps it is better to say "The US has not won many wars." History has Vietnam with the US pulling out, so not a loss nor win. Korean War resulted in the country being split, so not a win nor a loss. Cuba was a planned invasion in 1962 but that went awry and Cuba remained communist with supplies coming from USSR. Iraq was a disaster and now Iran will prove to be another disaster. Sigh. Does anybody really win wars? Battles perhaps.

If you've already refreshed the person, perhaps try the "Disconnect" button and start fresh from the top. If that does not work either, reset the PIN for them.
