I do not think my toilet would worth 30 million dollars if it was made of gold. Thank God they don’t have to open the window to toss their waste. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/apr/02/nasa-artemis-ii-orion-spaceship-toilet

Day for a year. See, he does read his Bible

Didn't Trump say this would be a very short war? Didn't he say he could stop the war in Ukraine in a couple of days? It seems difficult to believe his timelines...

it’s also not not the 7th world power…

It again

Yes, a relative who is an insurance broker mentioned the debt that nations have is owed to Insurance Companies. Huh? Well, it is more complicated than that: https://yourstory.com/2025/07/every-country-debt-whos-money-owed I believe Armagedon will be a Jubilee with all debt cancelled. Whew!

I don't understand. Could you please say it again?

I was going to say "isn't it a waste to wish to go to a branch facility when you already can visit a branch for free anytime?" But then I remembered that the USA is a vast place, and that in some places you need to travel long distances, even book a plane, to go to other parts of the country, and it can be costly

Just a note: the US is not the 7th and last world power. It is the combination of the US & the UK as the Anglo-american DUAL world power. So, your post shows how the 2 combined make up that King - as a dual power. These 2 combined are not "losing".

@ucastrobr are you saying theodor herzl and/or netanyahu advocate for taking parts of Saudi Arabia, as the map you posted showed? I checked the website mentioned in the bottom of that map but couldn’t find the specific webpage… where did you get it?

The Make-A-Wish foundation grants wishes to seriously ill children. Make-A-Wish Foundation - Wikipedia https://share.google/ibEER0Igok3YJKRiW Do you know if anyone has toured a Branch facility as a Make-A-Wish request?

My first bible conductor was the same age of my part. I like older people to mentor because when I ask questions, they can answer most of all.

you are thinking of the best thing for them and that is very loving. As to whether it is what someone else would have done or not is not the real issue.... the thing that is beautiful is that you did what you could. That is all we can do. Jehovah can do what they need if he sees fit.

The war in the Middle East has been very profitable for Russia. They’re able to sell oil at higher prices—sometimes with fewer sanctions—and they also benefit by supplying logistics and drones to Iran. The war in the Middle East doesn’t affect China and Pakistan as much, because Iran allows their ships to take oil without major problems. Israel claims that God promised them much more land than they have today. The textual seed for these visions lies in the Bible itself. Genesis 15:18, Exodus 23:31, Deuteronomy 11:24, and Joshua 1:4 all sketch boundaries far beyond the 1949 Armistice Lines. Yet having verses in scripture does not make them modern border treaties. Ancient sacral maps varied, and none were zoning laws for a 21st-century nation-state. Treating them as such is a category error – theology misapplied as cadastral survey. These are the verses that move the debate from maps to metaphysics and back. The rhetoric around Greater Israel has not vanished. Netanyahu himself, in January 2024, declared that Israel must retain “security control over all territory west of the Jordan River” – a functional “river to sea” position couched in security terms. In August 2025, he doubled down with his “Very much” endorsement of the Greater Israel vision, reviving the debate with a single phrase. Map Palestine and today

I wish this would all wrap up soon. It is getting worse as days go by. DAYS not years anymore. Interestingly, there are still people to reach. There are those still responding, looking, wondering, asking. I found a beautiful young couple at a door to door service day and, she has this 2 year old little girl that looks like my oldest daughter when she was that age. Anyways, I took a sister about this persons age and introduce her to the householder. They got along so well that I past the call to her and her husband. My husband asked me why did I give her away? ........I think because she's much younger than myself and, I'm trying in all ways to not fit the mold of a mother status and they be turned off. Its a different generation so.....I fit them in with the right generation? Does that make sense? Well.....its my reasoning anyways. I want them to have a chance and..... speaking with those of their own age might make the difference. That is my imperfect thought.

Also, take Lloyd’s of London for example. A huge portion of global shipping contracts use English law. Shipping doesn’t move without insurance. And that’s where Lloyd’s of London comes into the picture. It is a global hub for maritime insurance. They cover oil tankers and war risks (very important for straits like Hormuz). Whoever insures the ship has leverage over global trade. So, the United States is not the absolute world power.

No, not quite. There were many world powers in the past that lost wars and were still dominant. Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Ancient Greece, Roman Empire, have all faced terrible defeats while still maintaining world dominance. We cannot use wars as the only measuring stick for global dominance. Also, the United States is not the only absolute king of the south. It’s UK/US (the Anglo-American world powers). The UK has a great deal of influence in transnational capital. In fact, it is the largest trading hub in the world. The US has the most powerful military in the world. I don’t think that will change. However, I am also reminded of Revelation 17:12-14. Ten Kings will receive authority for one hour. Here is a snippet of the Revelation Book, “Hence, in the first century, the ‘ten horns had not yet received a kingdom.’ But now in the Lord’s day, they have “a kingdom,” or political authority.” We don’t know who they are. If I am to guess, I would say France, China, Japan, etc. There is a lot we don’t know about power struggles in the final part of the last days.

US won the war against Spain in the Philippines..

True.. if a king always loses the battle he should not stay a king.. ..
