Nice Hijack! I lived in Elko, NV as young child in the 70s. My grandfather and several uncles worked for Carlin Gold (later Newmont) across the valley from that facility. I remember driving by many times and admiring the infrastructure. I may have seen it in operation once. Later on in life I almost found my way into geophysics but it would have taken me away from Jehovah I think.

Sorry to highjack this thread but the University of Nevada Reno had a Fire Science Academy in Carlin, next to Elko NV. I found a video that shows what we did for fire training each year.

"Asteroid 2029, officially known as 99942 Apophis, is a massive near-Earth asteroid—roughly the size of the Empire State Building—that will safely skim past Earth on Friday, April 13, 2029. It will pass within approximately 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) of Earth's surface, making it closer than our geostationary satellites." Wow, talk about fearful sights in the heavens exactly 2000 years after Jesus was baptized...😁

I was in Operations at several oil refineries. I started as a unit operator, then an Operations Shift Supervisor, then an Operations Shift Superintendent. My job was to sit in an office in the Central Control Room making sure that everyone and everything did what it was supposed to do while the dayshift organization was sleeping 🤣

June 2026 was hottest on record beating June 2024. From June 2023 to July 2024 for 14 consecutive months, earth broke records for warmest months. We will most likely see that record streak extend. June 2026 Global Temperature Update, Warmest June on Record +1.51°C Temperature Mean June (1880-1920)NASA Current Record (2026) (+1.51C) +1.48°C👆 For the Year Hottest year (2024) 1.56c Second hottest year (2025) 1.46c Third hottest year (2023) 1.45c +1.44°C👆 Last 12 Months

Were you at UNR at Elko 20 years ago? I would go to Elko every year back then.

We have crossed the +2.0C (+2.01C) and Earth is now in a Very Strong (Super) El Niño status. Will take a few months before we start feeling the maximum effects of it.

Are you talking about my pic? I told it to use Northern California as the geo location.. this was my prompt: I like to think that's near Carmel..

😮😵‍💫 https://spaceweather.com/ I've been on this planet for three quarters of a century and I didn't even know the Earth HAD a mini moon. 🤭

I was one of the team leaders on Occidental corporate hazmat team, I taught Hazmat specialized in EO training, I instructed at Texas A&M, Pueblo Co. Elko Nevada, I was Captain and trained fire fighting, EMT for 20 years, certified in high angle rescue. Supervisor over logistics. Qualified in every ops job. What did you do?

"...the love of the greater number will grow cold..."

If Jehovah loved the world so much that he was willing to make His firstborn available as the ransom sacrifice, can we imagine how much He loves those who exercise faith in that ransom? 99.99% of the world that Jehovah loves do not love Him, or don't even believe in Him. So, how precious to Jehovah and Jesus are those who do love Him and want to have his approval. The most valuable thing you can offer to Jehovah as an expression of your love for him is your time. We all have the same amount of time each day. We can give it to Jehovah when we pray, attend meetings, speak to others in the ministry or informally, shepherd one another etc. Jehovah takes notice of every minute we give Him. And the sparrow that lands on the ground in search of food does not go unnoticed either. And, to be honest, if you or I don't make it ~ we won't know what we're missing anyway.

The word "Imminent" was popular for several years...

I, of course, do hope it comes this year. October would be wonderful. But the words soon, on the verge, around the corner etc are all part of the same language used for years. I’m not saying it’s wrong to hope the word soon means this year, but it’s all relative. This language was used back in the 1960’s as well. Just doing a simple search on WOL will show you that. In expectation of soon always, but also expecting it to be a while longer. We just don’t know.

This is AI image... I want real place So discuss with your favorite AI, tell it about what you like as a scenery/place and ask for ideas to settle in Paradise.

Thanks for the report. It looks like it wasn't about us:

My wife and I were talking about having friends over. when it coincidentally happens to be around sunset. So we go watch the sunset together. I'm not necessarily in a picturesque area. But my wife and I often go to the top of the parking garage across the street and we still watch the sunset and it does amazing things with the sky.

I noticed in this broadcast they used the term "we are on the verge" (meaning of the GT) several times. No more is it "close", or "around the corner" or "soon", we are now "on the verge" of it. It seems to me that in the last 6 to 9 months, we are discussing how to prepare for the GT, how important it is to keep our unity and especially how important it will be for us to be obedient and always trust in Jehovah. It comes up in every meeting and broadcast and in the new study editions of the Watchtower in a consistent manner IMO. (By the way, the term "on the verge" means on the "brink or border" of something.) Remember, the earth is also on the verge of being completely ruined (AI data centers of sealed that fate for sure now), so Jehovah will have to act very quickly to keep that from happening as well.

I think it would be fun if you used small water ballons instead of stones. That would be a lot safer. Encourage everyone that wants to participate to make their own slings, but have a few available just in case.

This balanced and humble approach in the program taught me something: “When we receive direction —even if it seems unnecessary or we have a different opinion— do we trust Jehovah enough to follow it? If you receive clear direction, follow it if there’s no Scriptural law being disregarded. You never know if Jehovah is maneuvering matters for a reason. And even if not, he’ll reward you for your loyalty.” With good motives, we obey the direction from the organisation. But this shows that we shouldn’t always conclude that everything that comes in the form of direction comes from Jehovah. Why? Because no human has perfect understanding of His will. It reminded me of the widow who went to the temple. Jehovah at that time was using Judaism to render acceptable worship among his people. But many facets of that system of worship had become limited and was in part corrupted due to religious leaders who had “placed themselves in the seat of Moses.” (Matt. 23:2) But what did the widow do? She gave everything she had to a temple and the system of worship that was soon to be done away with. Did Jesus stop this woman from contributing by saying: “Don’t bother, put that money back in your purse. Don’t you know that this place will be a heap of ruins soon?” No. He saw the deep faith the woman held toward a system of worship that had become burdensome through no fault of her own, but he commended her for such acts of faith. (Luke 21:2-6) Unlike first century Judaism, Pure worship isn’t corrupted. Jesus remembers our deeds of faith towards the system of worship that he oversees. (Rev. 2:19) This is despite that at times, parts of worship that we perform deeds in need refining, changing or that may seem unnecessary. Jesus sees our motives, just like the poor widow. Jesus will also make sure when this worship needs improving or needs to become more attuned to God’s will and personality. (Isa. 60:17; John 2:16) Jesus will bless us for being loyal by keeping us in the book of life.(Rev. 3:5) Mark Noumair said it well at last year’s convention: “Don’t look for perfection, look for pure worship.”
