“I’m riding this beastie. What’s the worst that can happen?”

US military prepared to strike Iran as early as this weekend, but Trump has yet to make a final call, sources say https://edition.cnn.com/2026/02/18/politics/military-strike-trump-us-iran Tons of equipment have already been transported.

Satan knows where to target a place so he can intensify suffering.

Just now I installed JWLManger on my Mac and am very happy. Took me about 5 minutes or so to confirm how I needed to run terminal to remove the extended attributes that you explain in the install section. After that, JWLManager fired up and I am happily exporting and looking at my old ks10 notes and sfl notes. Maybe you can help me think about this idea. What would I need to think about to change in this (ks) excel document to bulk move these old ks10 notes to certain sfg chapters? I could probably make some dummy notes in various chapters of the new book (sfg) and see what it looks like in that exported excel document and just change those columns? Any other tips welcome. 😃

"Iran continues to bolster the lethality and precision of its domestically produced missile and UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] systems, and it has the largest stockpiles of these systems in the region," the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence said in March 2025. The arsenal includes close-range, short-range and medium-range systems. The longest-range variant can travel up to 2,000 kilometres. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-12/iran-ballistic-missile-program-weapons-us-talks-trump/106307798 2,000 km = 1242.74 miles. Cities approximately 2,000 km from central Iran (Tehran) include Moscow, Russia; Cairo, Egypt; Tripoli, Libya; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Mumbai, India; and Beijing, China. These cities are generally within a 2-hour flight or a multi-day journey from Iran's borders. Jerusalem would be within range. Primary Strategic Targets Israel: Viewed as an existential target, Israel is a likely focus for a nuclear-capable strike, intended to cause maximum damage to a close U.S. defense partner. U.S. Bases in the Region: American military facilities, particularly in Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE, are considered prime, close-range targets for Iranian missile strikes. The Strait of Hormuz: As a crucial global oil transit point, disrupting this area would be a high-priority target to inflict economic damage on the U.S. and its allies. Regional Adversaries: Saudi Arabia and other nations complicit in a U.S. attack could also be target ed.

I hope that our relief will come sooner. This is not only for me but also to all creation that groaning.

US strikes on Iran is imminent, says the news Isnt it that they both have nuclear?

But Shia is not the number one branch of Islam. Only about 10%-13% of Muslims are Shia. Is reasonable to conclude an attack on Iran is an attack on Islam when 85% - 90% of Muslims do not follow that branch of Islam?

Yes - that is my personal preference. Some of our servants are not experienced software users. So keep it simple and clear, with fairly large print for the older ones. Consistency is important - UI elements in the same place every time. A very useful feature some programs offer is a "What do you want to do" box. It gives them a list of the most common tasks, and opens the necessary UI screen to get the task started. Re: Congregation Remove Procedure: that sounds like a GREAT idea. It literally could save lives!

I choose B. Iran is an Islamic government under the control of the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, for life. His role is a unique blend of absolute religious authority and ultimate political command. The Supreme Leader has the final say on all major matters of State. He has direct control over the armed forces. His religious decrees are binding . Neither the President of the government nor the Parliament (all of which can be elected only with the Ayatollah's approval) can over rule the Supreme Leader. The government and Islam Shia are one and the same. The answer is obvious. Jehovah can do whatever he wants, however he wants, whenever he wants. Jehovah can cause the leaders of world's governments to all have a dream, and put His 'one thought' into their heads and hearts. While Jehovah fulfills prophesy in his chosen way, the nations will think it's their idea for reasons that have convinced them to do it. And it's just as plausible that some of the nations will go along reluctantly, not fully convinced it's a good idea, but do it anyway. That's only my opinion, of course. We won't have the answers until it has happened.

Trust is not proven when everything feels smooth. It is proven when criticism rises and we remain steady. Remaining loyal to Jehovah’s organization is not about defending men. It is about recognizing Jehovah’s hand in the arrangement and choosing to stay close to it. That choice strengthens us more than any argument ever could.

Thursday, February 19 Be obedient to those who are taking the lead among you.—Heb. 13:17. When receiving direction, elders need to read it carefully and then apply it to the best of their ability. They receive guidance not only on how to present meeting parts and how to offer prayers for the congregation but also on how to care for Christ’s sheep. Elders who follow organizational direction help those under their care to feel secure and loved. When we receive direction from the elders, we should follow it willingly. By doing so, we will make it easier for those taking the lead to do their work. The Bible encourages us to be obedient and submissive to those who take the lead. (Heb. 13:7, 17) That can be a challenge at times. Why? Because these men are imperfect. However, if we focus on their negative qualities rather than on their positive traits, we will, in effect, be aiding our enemies. In what way? We will be undermining trust in God’s organization. w24.04 10 ¶11-12

Because Iran is a country and Islam is a religion? While Iran is the only nation whose government is specifically founded on Shia Islam, there are other Islamic nations. Iraq, Azerbaijan, and Bahrain all have Shia majorities. The United States went to war with Iraq twice. Shia is the second largest branch of Islam. Sunni is the largest. Ibadi is the third largest. The two holiest of Islamic locations are Mecca and Medina. Neither of them are in Iran. Does Jehovah need a catalyst?

I'm also considering creating a Congregation Remove Procedure that allows the COBE to delete all data in the event of an emergency. If a situation like the current one in Russia arises, all data can be erased using this procedure. This procedure sends an event to all clients (publishers) that wipes the entire publisher app. All data will be deleted from both the apps, and no trace of the congregation will remain on the server.

the backup file can easily grow in size if ou have playlists including videos as thos items are included in the backup. I have around 50mb in my file

Can you share more of this trick please?

Do you like a more dashboard style and different maintenance screens?

In the US you don't have the same restrictions as in the EU, where we can't even keep a "not at home" record in the ministry or take any notes of return visits. The privacy required for this app is not related to enemies finding about us, but because of European laws. And ultimately, it's the organization that is found guilty not an individual publisher or congregation. So it is a serious matter, more than many are aware of

I’ve noticed here in my country (outside Europe) we’ve been shrinking the amounts of data as well. I found out not too long ago that when somebody’s removed from the congregation, we destroy all of their publisher record files. Our organization seems to be moving toward holding onto as little data as is necessary to function.
