I know but that's the same spirit.

@Jim Jam W study edition 6/2012 Questions from Readers footnote: "The clay that is mixed with iron represents elements within the realm of the ironlike Anglo-American World Power. Over time, this clay has made it difficult for that power to be as strong as it would like to be." W study edition 6/2012 Jehovah Reveals What “Must Shortly Take Place” par. 9: "Jehovah’s servants have long sought to understand the symbolic meaning of the feet of the image. Daniel 2:41 describes the mixture of iron and clay as one “kingdom,” not many. The clay, therefore, represents elements within the sphere of influence of the Anglo-American World Power, elements that make it weaker than the solid iron of the Roman Empire. The clay is referred to as “the offspring of mankind,” or the common people. (Dan. 2:43) In the Anglo-American World Power, people have risen up to claim their rights through civil rights campaigns, labor unions, and independence movements. The common people undermine the ability of the Anglo-American World Power to act with ironlike strength. Also, opposing ideologies and close election results that do not end up in a clear majority have weakened the power base of even popular leaders, so that they have no clear mandate to implement their policies. Daniel foretold: “The kingdom will partly prove to be strong and will partly prove to be fragile.”—Dan. 2:42; 2 Tim. 3:1-3." W study edition 8/2023 Learn From Bible Prophecy par. 12: "In the dream that Daniel interpreted for King Nebuchadnezzar, the feet of the image that the king saw were made of “iron mixed with soft clay.” By comparing this prophecy with others in the books of Daniel and Revelation, we can conclude that the feet represent the Anglo-American alliance, the dominant world power today. Regarding this world power, Daniel says that “the kingdom will be partly strong and partly fragile.” Why partly fragile? Because the common people, pictured by the soft clay, undermine its ability to act with ironlike strength. " https://www.jw.org/en/library/series/more-topics/political-turmoil-fulfills-bible-prophecy/ "The feet of the image are made “partly of iron and partly of clay,” a combination that is inherently weak. (Daniel 2:42) Today, the power of both the United States and Britain is weakened by elements within their own societies. For example, both countries experience internal conflicts among their own citizens. People violently protest for their rights. Their elected representatives often fail to reach a majority agreement. Because their people are so divided, both governments are at times unable to implement their policies effectively."

@Osprey source please?

According to our current understanding this refers just to inner state of affairs inside Anglo-American power.

interesting to compare two persecutions....one ongoing in Russia where the govt wants to seize properties and past times in Canada when the govt used the law to its advantage Russia https://nemoskva.net/en/2026/07/31/genprokuratura-trebuet-izyat-123-obekta-u-svidetelej-iegovy/ Canada https://calgaryherald.com/life/before-the-charter-jehovahs-witnesses-and-the-battle-for-civil-liberties-in-canada note last sentence in canada article!

If you want a good magical girl series I recommend Princess Tutu and SOS Ririka Nurse Angel

>Parents need to know that Puella Magi Madoka Magica appears to be a cute animated show for little girls (similar to Sailor Moon), but it's full of dark moments and imagery that is more suited for teens and adults. Witch characters are very creepy, and there's lots of violence between girls and witches and sometimes between girls themselves, including beating, stabbing, and decapitation. Expect a bit of language, including "crap" and "s--t." There is a bit of adult drinking and some girls in short skirts. https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/puella-magi-madoka-magica >Puella Magi Madoka Magica, an angsty Magical Girl show with an Improbably Female Cast, has quite blatant queer implications in both the main storyline and the sidestories and spinoffs. The show was ranked as the best Yuri anime in Japan https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/HoYay/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica >copious amounts of blood and violence, elements that were rare in the magical girl genre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica

*episode 1

that was on my 'plan to watch'list. what i linked was my completee, dropped, plan to watch, currently watching list. I MIGHT go back to look at it, i havent seen the first episode but i know its a magical girl anime

Theres alao yaoi in there as well. The last time i went on MAL was in 2015 i started stusying in 2023 😉.

The latest NWP update 4.1.3 now has an Auxiliary Pioneer application!

We are not partial to “the west” — we know Jehovah permits lands to sometimes be captured, or attempted to be captured (look at Ukraine right now), but we must stay separate and no part of the society we happen to live among. Even if our heads of state were literally captured by a foreign enemy, we still have to put up no fight, we must respect whoever the new Caesar is.

It's in episode 1, my brother. When Jesus is still a child. Thank you.

I don't see a headband. The pictures below cover several episodes.

Pokemon...man, that takes me back. Is Madoka Magica any good? My daughter loves it but I could barely make it through the first episode.

Episode 1 showed that

I am heading to Tokyo in a few weeks and I am hoping that someone here may be from Tokyo that would be interested in meeting up. I would love to see the city and the sights. I am planning on hitting Disneyland while I am there, along with other things. I have Instagram if anyone is interested

It's nice to read that just after the Update 5

Iron and clay

I just rewatched episode number 1. Does anyone know why Jesus always appears with a headband? And it seems like only he wears it.

People are desperate. Who wants to up and leave their home unless they feel they must. It's very sad indeed. Much of the news around the world is simply heartbreaking indeed. All the more proof of Bible prophecy and why we need the Kingdom to come. No doubt the friends there will take note and perhaps find a way to help some learn about Jehovah and his promise for mankind. What a mess Satan's world is. Let's not despair but do our best to show our reliance on our God and Father and see how he will turn things around. 💙 🙏💪

Saturday, August 1 There will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now.—Matt. 24:21. We pray that as many as possible will respond to the warning message and join us in pure worship now. But what about those who do not heed the warning at this time? It may be Jehovah’s will to save people who have a change of heart when they see the destruction of Babylon the Great. If so, then it is all the more urgent that we keep sounding the warning. What we tell them now may give them something to remember then. (Compare Ezekiel 33:33.) Perhaps they will reflect back on the warning they heard from us and be moved to join us in pure worship before it is too late. Like the jailer in Philippi who had a change of heart only after “a great earthquake occurred,” perhaps some who do not respond now will have a change of heart after the world-shaking destruction of Babylon the Great.—Acts 16:25-34. w24.05 17 ¶9-10

Ooh, I didn't notice that one. I meant "hushing" the storm at the end.

Has anyone seen the news where all the migrants coming from Morocco thousands of them they are rioting causing trouble I don't know about you but am getting kind of scared of all this there must be a reason this is happening Islam is trying to take over the west can you imagine this happing in the uk?am a bit weak spiritually at the moment so I know I need to trust in Jehovah

News about our dear brother being convicted is heartbreaking and encouraging. Glad he is, at least, not imprisoned. I run out of thoughts to keep my prayers fresh when contemplating our brothers and sisters in places like this.
