As much as you want. 😁😁 We will try our best to make sure everyone is following the correct account. If some publishers argue about whether it is fine to share it, there are a few things we can point out. JW Pressroom is about sharing public information about the organization itself with the public. It is not about spreading the good news of the kingdom, so we can hardly consider JW Pressroom as part of the regular public ministry. It is simply for public information to the journalists, government officials, academics, and the public. The organization never said that we must follow the account or that we must not follow it. The announcement is very neutral. Since social media is all about following accounts, of course many of us will naturally follow the account. If someone asks whether we can share JW Pressroom on our own accounts, then unless we are specifically instructed not to do so, there should not be any issue. In order for the JW Pressroom social media accounts to be successful, engagement is needed, such as sharing the account, sharing the posts, saving posts, reposting, and so on. If we do not do that, then fewer people will be able to see the JW Pressroom account, and it will be harder for the account to be successful. That is why a lot of businesses and companies often advertise aggressively on social media so that they can get more followers and engagement. Otherwise, people may not see them. Also, when the organization says we should not share copyrighted material on social media or websites, that mainly refers to jw.org website content such as publications and media. JW Pressroom content is different because it is posted directly on social media and is designed for social media engagement. That is also why at the end of the JW Pressroom videos, you see the JW Pressroom logo instead of the jw.org logo beside the WTBTS name. Lastly, this can help everyone, including publishers, avoid accidentally following or engaging with the wrong or fake account. There are so many fake JW Pressroom accounts right now, especially on TikTok, so we can help by sharing the correct one and reducing the chance that fake accounts become more popular than the real one.

May I share/ quote this on my Facebook page, please?

For what purpose? What's the endgoal of doing this?

Awareness of human rights violations and to provide an accurate representation of Jehovah's Witnesses to the media. The media can then use our posts as a source of accurate information. No sympathy or emotion necessary.

Just a concern about TikTok because there are a lot of fake JW Pressroom accounts. If you see or hear of any of our brothers and sisters following the wrong account, especially on TikTok, please kindly let them know the correct one: jw_pressroom. If they want to, they can also let others know, since one of the fake accounts has already gained a concerningly large number of followers. Since JW Pressroom is a social media account, it is naturally designed for its posts and the account itself to be shared unless we are specifically instructed otherwise. We can share the correct account on our own social media accounts and help remind our fellow brothers and sisters which account is official. They should also unfollow the fake accounts because those accounts could later be changed into opposer accounts and start spreading apostate content. It can be like bait, making people think it is the real account at first and then showing its true nature later. Of course, you do not have to do this if you do not want to, but it is a good way to help make sure everyone is following the correct account.

We officially hit half a million or 500K followers on Instagram and 83K followers on TikTok.

Maybe positive reactions (from media etc) to jw_pressroom?

I hope not.. but who knows ..great tribulation is gradually happening.

or use extensions if you have google/firefox

You could also just paste the url into archive.ph/archive.today

Just in case you missed the description Jason here it is… Sympathetic to the way Jehovahs Witnesses are treated in some countries then yes I agree with you, however, as it says this is the pressroom and it to raise awareness… and as the latest post there demonstrates it’s showing exactly who we are that we could be your doctor, teacher etc. The purpose is definitely not to seek sympathy in the way that most view sympathy!!

On the 12th or the 19th would be logical.

I'm ready

Mankind’s greatest achievement will be thought to be peace and security. We know what happens next!

None, since I OD on the chocolate, I’m on the ground

I've never heard of that site before; I couldn't have reached a limit. 🤔 I'll try again

P.S. I meant to say editing at the same time in the same section. If one brother is editing public talks and another is editing the cleaning schedule there will be no issue. If 2 brothers are editing in the same page at the same time it almost always causes syncing issues.

Yes, every brother that edits data and then Sends App Data needs to close the program as the final step. What you have described is definitely a syncing issue. In the NWS help documents it addresses syncing issues: Ensure everyone always CLOSES NW Scheduler properly after use (not just close laptop lid), etc. The above in blue is a qoute from NWS docs. Also be sure he is not trying to edit at the same time as another brother and everyone is on the same NWS version.

In Bible times, Paul went where people naturally gathered. The marketplace (Acts 17:17) The Areopagus..the main forum for new ideas (Acts 17:19–22) Today, for millions especially younger ones the “marketplace” is the popular social networking programs. As a concept, using platforms like TikTok or Instagram is no different from using printing presses, films, radio, or sound cars in the past. Jehovah’s people have always used the most effective tools available to put the good news in front of as many eyes and ears as possible. Today, the average teenager doesn’t read tracts or answer the door but they do scroll….. not only younger ones..that have developed powerful thumbs. So it’s only logical that short, dignified, Bible‑centered content can be a powerful modern vehicle to reach hearts around the world in all cultures. The sky is not falling.. but the good news just has another vehicle.

El Niño just crossed the +1.0C line, now at Moderate Strength.

Finally, long lists kicking Youngstown C I N R L

all of them

Which one is you Brother Glen @Dustparticle? 😁
