I remember seeing this story a couple of years ago. It must have been one of the earlier trials, which I suppose was appealed. It looks like the government didn't take the loss very well. It could be interpreted that way. When I first came to Quebec in 1987, there were still people alive at that time who had seen the persecution against Jehovah's Witnesses in the 1950s. Those opposers lost in The Supreme Court of Canada, and the Premier of Quebec was fined for trying to target us. I guess those ones left over in the 1980s wanted to continue where the others left off. Since then though, I think all that generation of opposers died off. But yes, this is another chapter. Not the same opposers, but the same persecution.

That is why it is important to memorize songs, have personal study, have family study, participate regularly in the ministry, and closely follow the guidance. All of this is like the ant that gathers food before difficult times arrive. In this way, with Jehovah’s help and his holy spirit, we will remember many things and be able to remain spiritually strong.

There are countries where JW.ORG is not accessible and yet Jehovah is still caring for his servants' sprituality We don't base our faith on a website

There are other ways

It’s the latest update my only issue is that all my other tablets and phones work. this is the second iPad I’ve gotten that does this so I’m not sure

Jenny, are you saying that the United States, as a superpower, will only lose at Armageddon? As an Anglo-American power, only the rock that represents the Kingdom of God can bring an end to its power. I also believe that the United States will not lose.

That's the point! Seven months after the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation declared jw.org to be extremist, the Russian authorities banned the official website of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The ban became effective on July 21, 2015. During the Great Tribulation, they might shut down the JW.ORG servers. If someone tries to access the website, they might receive a message like: “Hmmm… can't reach this page.” Artificial intelligence might also search for websites and forums related to religions and shut down their servers. At that time, we may have only the Bible and the elders to guide us until Armageddon. Perhaps when religions are banned, there could still be a short period of time for the Governing Body to send a final message. After the announcement that all religions are banned by UN, it might take some time for authorities around the world to shut down all religious websites and give the GB time to send a final message: Forget your cellphones😐Jesus will soon come as Executioner and Deliverer. People today are addicted to the internet. All the time, they are scrolling through social media, news, and other websites. I read a message above saying that Jehovah would never allow JW.org to be shut down. But do you believe in Jehovah or in technology? Will Jehovah save his people only through a website? We have the physical Bible, we have elders, and during the final part of the Great Tribulation, Jehovah may use angels or other miracles to save his people.

Hmmm.. US is the king of the south. I dont think it will lose the war .. Daniel 11:43

I've been seeing an interesting (worldly) professor's perspective about the war on social media... Not going to share any clips or videos (But let me know if you want me to send it to you privately I guess) The gist is he predicted the war, and where Iran was going to attack after the war, and his next prediction is that U.S. will lose this war, based on game theory and his educated guess🤔

Sorry.. what i mean is there's no sign on tv/news that this war will stop soon. Im jw and im worried not only for me, my family but also to all people.

What do you mean by "no sign in sight"? Like on the war ending? I think this war will be long

No sign in sight on Iran war yet. 😢. This is not a good sign. Do you think, purchasing a bike is good?

Try reading the Thomas Walker series.

I could not imagine this, but seems possible.

That's my point. Even "the worst" options could still be used by Jehovah to protect us, so we shouldn't fear falling for those kinds of traps. But if we can't discern that we shouldn't disavow Jehovah - that's on us.

What if it turns out the inner room of protection is actually prison? Gather all of God's people together in one place (or everyone in the same region or area). This gets us out of the line of fire and puts us all together for mutual support and encouragement.

What point are you trying to make? To me, you seem to be misapplying the point of the paragraph, so I want to first make sure I understand what you mean.

The best connection with God is Bible so we can manage without internet Now is a time to strenght our bonds with Jehova. What about brothers or sisters in prisons or hospitals at GT?

But not unscriptural. The worst they could convince us to so is to turn ourselves in to the cops. Jehovah would not abandon us for falling for that, but if they told us to renounce our faith and continue being a Witness privately? We need to take responsibility for our own faith and be able to reject such an obviously Satanic lie.

8 Hidden Costs That Eat Away at Your Wealth https://clark.com/personal-finance-credit/hidden-costs-that-eat-away-at-your-wealth/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=Newsletter&utm_campaign=ClarkDailyNewsletter&_bhlid=490fef8b80ecb935cf1b8daab3a26cf0f3215921

Thanks everyone for the replies. Following the advice I received here, I started trying both JWTime and Only-T side by side in practical use. I thought I would share my impressions, as they might also be useful to others in the future who want to compare the two apps and understand which one may fit their congregation better. I started by trying Only-T first, as I was advised to do here on the forum, and overall it seemed to me like a good piece of software: simple, lightweight, and immediate to use. I also liked the fact that it is part of a wider suite, with additional tools that can be useful. For its purpose, it seemed well made to me and probably very suitable for those who are looking for something essential and quick to use. I also appreciated that some features are very well handled from a practical and customization point of view. Among the things I liked about Only-T, I would mention: dedicated app more customizable opening countdown portable version wider ecosystem with other tools from the same suite Then, after trying JWTime, I found some things that I personally appreciated in practical use: ability to send messages to the speaker ability to change the duration of a part at any time, even while it is already in progress, with immediate automatic adjustment a real pause button, useful when moving from one part to the next without affecting the real time used by the part itself a dedicated one-minute section for the chairman’s counsel after student assignments manual schedules that can be saved and recalled when needed the possibility to use the Congregation Bible Study and the Watchtower Study as “buffer” parts, adapting only those automatically based on the time already used immediate indication of whether you are ahead of schedule or running late full part titles, and if desired, always visible dedicated time for songs as well offline mode, with the possibility of downloading upcoming weeks in advance a dedicated section for meeting recording The thing that currently convinces me less about JWTime, at least from a personal preference point of view, is the customization of the timer screen, which in some respects I still prefer in Only-T. As a general impression, at the moment JWTime seems more complete to me in some practical aspects of use, although Only-T still seems very strong to me for its simplicity, customization in some areas, and wider ecosystem. Of course, these are only my first practical impressions. If I notice other interesting differences, I will be happy to update the thread. Only-T

another chapter in Quebecs oppostion to the truth

No need to have internet access during hard times if we do personal study thoroughly and always attend meeting. Then Jehovah's holy spirit will help us (John 14:26) Also elders are great help during critical times, they are trained with that.

Well Iran has a new leader who is cut from the same cloth and still continues to fight for God 🙄 The world continues to call it a war driven by religion, now of course we need the nations to give their power to the UN in order to turn on religion BTG … May that happen soon because we are all so so tired and many of us have been patiently waiting for over 50 years but we won’t stop now, the end is definitely is sight and drawing to a very swift conclusion. We live in very exciting times and as a GB member said it’s perfectly normal to feel very slightly apprehensive but we put our trust in Jehovah, it’s a time to hold our heads up and stand firm 🥰
