  1. Past hour

    was this the greatly rumoured “Sept 12 meeting” certain congregations’ elders were invited to?
  3. JennyM
    In my city alone, there are already 18 suicides deaths mostly men since January 2026. People are getting hopeless.
  4. Tortuga
    Revelation 6:6 I heard what sounded like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say: “A quart of wheat for a de·narʹi·us and three quarts of barley for a de·narʹi·us; and do not harm the gasoline and the diesel.”
  5. LeslieDean
    Diesel is 6.00 gal here and has been a week or two. I think we are in a state where it is on the low end. I can't imagine how the others are making ends meet. Preppers are sending me emails and texts and I don't know how they are linking me to that. My apartment is only 550 sq feet and I am crowded now.
  6. JennyM
    Gas prices is now skyrocketing . I believe that the GT is near.
  7. Today
  8. Adam!
    Today was the launch meeting for London 2027. The convention is 11 months from tomorrow exactly and the scale will be enormous. 7000 delegates from 17 lands 453 supporting congregations (not all will be assigned at Twickenham Stadium) 15,000 volunteers required. Work initially started from the end of November / December 2025. Tomorrow is the launch meeting for Cardiff 2027. Brothers who were at the London meeting today are travelling later on to the Bristol Assembly Hall for the launch tomorrow.

  10. Beggar for the Spirit
    Hi Brother Lewis, There have been many brothers/sisters who have deeply desired to Regular Pioneer like you. However for those who have no choice but to work full-time, then it takes much wisdom and modesty to know whether or not pioneering is possible. Jehovah is glad if we can serve full-time. But Jehovah is also glad if we cannot serve full-time but do what we can within our circumstances. However, Jehovah does not want us to serve him without modesty, being exhausted, too tired and with no joy. So if we try to pioneer full-time, but we have a full-time job, plus we have other important family responsibilities, would it be modest to pioneer? Would we have enough time and energy to do personal study, prepare well for all meetings, care for other responsibilities, etc? However, some who may have the circumstances and energy to work full-time and pioneer full-time can do what @Dages suggested above --- going out in the ministry in the evenings after work and on weekends. Here is another suggestion you could consider: Some who want to regular pioneer but need to work full time have tried this: Accepted the full-time job Applied to Auxiliary Pioneer to see if they could easily meet the hour requirements If it was easy to meet the Auxiliary requirements after many months, then apply to Regular Pioneer!!!

    I think it’s one of those moments in time when we all remember where we were and what we were doing… my kids were very young and just at school, my mum rang me and told me to turn on the TV i can remember collecting my kids from the school bus and trying not to frighten them about the events and yet knowing it was something I couldn’t shield them from
  12. Áine started following Sunday, September 13 Is not wisdom found among the aged, and does not understanding come with a long life?​—Job 12:12.
  13. Áine
    Sunday, September 13 Is not wisdom found among the aged, and does not understanding come with a long life?—Job 12:12. All of us need guidance in making life’s important decisions. We can obtain much of that guidance from elders and other mature Christians. If they are much older than we are, we should not automatically dismiss their advice as outdated. Jehovah wants us to learn from older ones. They have had more time than we have had to acquire experience, understanding, and wisdom. In Bible times, Jehovah used faithful older ones to encourage and guide his people. Consider, for example, Moses, David, and the apostle John. They lived at different times, and their circumstances differed greatly. As they neared the end of their life, they gave wise advice to younger ones. Each of these faithful older men emphasized the value of being obedient to God. Whether we are young or old, we can benefit by reviewing their counsel.—Rom. 15:4; 2 Tim. 3:16. w24.11 8 ¶1-2

    Fixture replacement in apartments can be expensive.
  16. Tortuga
    Nearly every house and vehicle were displaying a flag. I often wondered how difficult it must have been for them when they eventually put the flags away.
  17. Doug
    It does sound meaningless . . just a cliche', like "Keep on believin'" I remember very clearly my first day in service after 9/11. I stood in the territory and looked down the street. EVERY house had an American flag on display. I just thought "Oh boy - here we go".
  18. ChrisW
    Should there be a forum specifically for 9/11 ?
  19. Lewis Alpha
    Nice Brother for that encouragement I appreciate 😊. Hope we all enjoy this beautiful campaign month!
  20. BLEmom started following AI researchers warning of a 10%+ risk to humanity — now mainstream news
  21. BLEmom
    I heard that it was the speed of progress that is scaring the researchers. Things are advancing so fast that they are already losing control on occasion. AI “breaking loose” and causing havoc on other sites. https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/27/heres-all-the-times-ai-has-gone-rogue-and-hacked-other-companies/ Mankind’s record for keeping control of things isn’t the greatest… There are too many greedy people out there who are willing to use it for their own purposes.

    I dropped off my oldest at special Ed preK that morning. Called a friend and she told me the first plane had hit. Went to her house where we watched the second plane hit and then the two buildings collapse live. It was horrifying and yet also felt unreal, like we were watching some sort of apocalyptic movie. She was scared because of living near some massive fuel center so she left and went an hour away to her mother’s house. I had to wait for the school to let out the kids before going home. I stayed glued to the tv for the first two days hoping they would be pulling out survivors. I don’t think I saw one the whole time I watched. I had to stop watching and move on. It still hurts to think about that day. If we have this much emotion tied to this event, I can’t imagine how insane it will feel once the GT starts.
  23. kejedo
    I got someone at a door and offered what I hoped was a comforting scripture. He said he was comforting people of his church (I think he was some kind of deacon) and I asked what he said "Have faith in what you believe in." Sounded like a meaningless massage; it was a strongly emotional time.
  24. Reader
    I was shopping at a large mall in Dearborn Michigan when the WTC attack occurred. Store employees were updating customers on events as they were happening. We were told to evacuate the building, go straight home and shelter in place. Dearborn is home to the largest Arabic community not only in the US but in North America. Some people had the mistaken idea that copycat attacks would occur in the area but those rumors were false. Tensions and fear were running high. It is interesting that we had an Awake magazine, May 22, 2001 issue "The New Look of Terrorism". We also received a special Awake dated Jan 8, 2002 about the 9/11 attack. Jehovah always provides comfort in times of distress and prepares us through direction ftom the FS.Those 2 Awake magazines can be found on our website. I highly recommend looking at them. It's still timely even after 25 years have passed.
  25. Doug
    My philosophical thought of the day: Any tool can be used for a bad purpose. A hammer can be used to build a house, or to bludgeon a skull. In addition to the warnings mentioned, the news reports that the Houthi terrorist group in Yemen tried using Anthropic to help them build a missile. We are back to the Tower of Babel scenario - more bad will come from technological advancement than good.
  26. GodlyDevotion
    Yes, we may be entering a world of increased surveillance. The new Apple Watch has an audio intelligence that can pick and record surrounding conversations for 15 seconds, I believe. I expect the conditions of the world to worsen as we enter the deepest end of the current system. But Jehovah has everything in control. That is why Jesus is the first rider of Revelation 6. The messianic king is well prepared for it.
  27. cme
    This is becoming a problem in Jehovah's organization. The younger generation is using it for all sorts of things, posting on-line private organization matters. One of our brothers that trains brother's for safety at work (he's an Osha brother) has seen certain documents posted on line. The young brothers come with hoodies over their heads and don't want to turn on their cameras. He teaches them through zoom. He says he's never seen the like of this. I find this very scary and think this is just the tip of the iceberg.
  28. AYMA
    Fyi - 3 couples tested positive for Covid recently, within days of each other. One ended up overnight in the hospital but is home now and much better. They range in age from 40's-60's. One couple opted for Paxlovid, one decided to wait it out. Choices. All 6 took the tests to confirm Covid. I heard others in nearby cong's also came down with Covid. It's been awhile that I've heard anyone having Covid around here.
  29. GodlyDevotion
    Oh yes, these have been around for some time. It’s currently a cause of debate in Europe, with lawmakers facing pressure to restrict or ban the devices. Besides these glasses, Chinese manufacturers have also begun producing and selling them on a large scale. The glasses themselves are the hardware, while the software installed on them enables many of the cool things they can do. This is similar to how smartwatches work: the hardware provides the physical capabilities, while the software determines much of their functionality.
  30. ReadYourBible
    Definitely do the test for covid just in case. That being said, a cough that won't go away and feels like fire/knives reminds me of whooping cough. It doesn't present as a whoop in adults, but the cough is so nasty you cough until your face turns red and you gasp for air. The front of your chest has a shooting, fiery pain, like every nerve ending is lighting up. I learned that many of us get the whooping cough vaccine as children, but it can 'wear off' after 30 years.

      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.”

      I have been going through some situations lately, and honestly, it really discouraged me. I became less active in attending meetings and doing some of the things I normally do. I was feeling very down.
       
      But something happened that really helped me regain my strength.
       
      I started seeing videos on TikTok about the recent earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters happening in different parts of Asia and other places. Seeing all those things reminded me of the words of Jesus about earthquakes, famines, pestilences, and other events that would happen during the conclusion of this system of things. He also reminded us not to panic or become frightened when we see these things happening.
       
      That really made me stop and think.
       
      I began meditating more on Jehovah's prophecies and the things we have been taught through his organization. I realized again how grateful I am to be among Jehovah's people, because we have been taught to understand what these events mean. Many people see these things happening but may not understand their significance.
       
      For me, seeing all those events was a reminder that Jehovah's promises are real and that we are living in the time the Bible warned us about.
       
      And somehow, I felt my strength coming back.
       
      My faith came back. I started attending meetings again and became more active in my worship of Jehovah. I realized that even when I feel weak or discouraged, Jehovah has not forgotten me.
       
      I am truly grateful for the love, care, and patience Jehovah has continued to show me. I am also grateful for the reminders he has placed in my heart at a time when I really needed them.
       
      I just wanted to share this because sometimes we need a little reminder to look up, strengthen our faith, and remember why we trust in Jehovah in the first place. ❤️

      We may be quick to say that folkloric characters such as Zeus, Baal or Isis do not exist.
      But it's interesting that the Bible identifies them as demons, which do exist.
       
      For example, Psalm 106:37 and Deuteronomy 32:17 speak of the apostate Israelites sacrificing their children to the demons.
      The Hebrew word used here is לַשֵּֽׁדִים (lashedim). It originally refers to the shedu, the protective deities of the Akkadians.
      In the New Testament, the writers used the word δαιμόνια (daimonia). But where did they get this word? It was used by the Greeks for lesser divinities, intermediaties between mankind and the gods.
       
      Clearly, for the worshippers of Jehovah, idols were not merely inanimate objects. They may have been ascribed imaginary backstories, but there really was a real spiritual presence that influenced the daily lives of these heathens. And this influence was not benign contrary to what they believed, but harmful.
      So demons are the ones who throughout all history and all cultures been identified as immaterial beings. They have been revered and given mythological origins, or they have been feared and mistaken for the ghosts of the deseased. Demons enjoy deceiving and torturing mankind.
       
      But the Holy Bible contains passages about seeking refuge in God when facing evil:
      James 4:7 — “Oppose the Devil, and he will flee from you.”
