Amazing. You should try vertical format, I've seen some on TikTok

Give links

I just installed minor update #1471 and it fixes both issues that I reported. Now the CLAM history grid can have two lines if necessary. And there is a different warning icon if the publisher had another talk recently, different from the one if the publisher has another talk the same day.

I don't have a dogmatic view on all to call these. So I say videos, movies, etc. Depending on the flow of the conversation

Typical autumn strikes

Webster's dictionary gives two definitions for "movie": In view of that, Jesus' videos as well as all other videos made by the organization fit perfectly that definition. They are movies. Now if someone prefers a different word choice to mark a distance from commercial movies or for any other reason, that's fine. But it's perfectly correct to call them movies.

Do you know when the approval emails will start arriving?

Sunday, October 18 Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.—Matt. 6:9. Our love for Jehovah moves us to sanctify his name. We want to have a part in clearing his name of the reproach that Satan has brought on it by his malicious lies. (Gen. 3:1-5; Job 2:4; John 8:44) In our ministry, we are eager to stand up for our God, telling the truth about him to all who will listen. We want everyone to know that his greatest quality is love, that his way of ruling is righteous and just, and that his Kingdom will soon end all suffering and bring peace and happiness to the human family. (Ps. 37:10, 11,29; 1 John 4:8) When we defend Jehovah’s reputation in our ministry, we sanctify his name. We also have the satisfaction of knowing that we are living up to our name. w24.05 18 ¶12

Use whatever wording will appeal to the listener. Personally, if it piques someone's interest I don't think it's wrong. I was at the door during Memorial Campaign talking to a gentleman, gave him the invitation, and then I proceeded to just ask him, "Do you like to watch movies?" He said "yes" and then I was able to show him the website and where he could locate the series. If I had a longer conversation going I would have explained that we have taken care to only portray Jesus as he was in the Bible and have not taken any liberties with language that the Bible did not specifically include. If it gets someone to visit the website, who knows what will come of it.

I do to others, but most of the time I shut up so people continue make fool of themselves my sis.

He protests the price of chocolate!

Welcome to the forum family!

Do you like to protest too, brother Glen?

Major nationwide protests are underway across France today, with tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people demonstrating over the cost of living, underfunded schools, and related grievances. These protests build on weeks of high-school student actions over teacher shortages, dilapidated buildings, overcrowded classes, and police responses. They have broadened into a “convergence of struggles,” drawing in Yellow Vest (Gilets Jaunes) activists, trade unions (such as the CGT), teachers, university students, and others concerned about inflation and public services. Key developments • Turnout estimates: Authorities reported around 140 actions involving ~33,000 people outside Paris by midday. Union figures later put national participation at 550,000–800,000. Paris saw a large march, with estimates of tens of thousands. • Clashes and violence: Significant unrest in several cities. In Paris, police used tear gas, water cannon, and stun grenades against masked/hooded groups throwing projectiles and fireworks, especially around Place de la République. A tourism office was set on fire in Lyon. In Marseille, protesters entered the town hall, caused damage, and there were reports of looting and attacks on a police station. Similar incidents (vandalism, fires, looting of shops) occurred in places like Bordeaux, Lille, Rennes, Toulouse, and Angers. • Official responses: President Emmanuel Macron had called for calm and respect for people/property while affirming the right to protest. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu condemned the “violence of extreme intensity” and said the government would not be intimidated. The Interior Ministry highlighted rapid security responses. This comes amid broader context: Macron is in the final stretch of his term (presidential elections expected in 2027), with high unpopularity, political fragmentation, inflation concerns (recent figures around 3.4%), and debates over public finances/EU budget. Opposition figures (including from the far-right National Rally and far-left) have commented on the unrest. Other recent notes include ongoing political positioning ahead of the 2027 vote and routine economic updates, but the protests dominate the day’s news. Situation remains fluid with live coverage from major outlets.

✨ There will be moments in life when our faith is tested, our hearts feel heavy, and the road ahead seems difficult to understand. But we can always find comfort in knowing that Jehovah never abandons those who put their trust in him. His loving guidance helps us move forward, his Word gives us wisdom, and his promises remind us that brighter days are ahead. ❤️🙏 ‎ ‎Even in the deepest valley, Jehovah remains by our side. When our strength begins to fade, he lovingly helps us stand firm and continue moving forward with faith and courage. 💯❤️ ‎ ‎Warmest greetings, dear brothers and sisters! 🤗❤️ May Jehovah’s peace fill your hearts, his wisdom direct your steps, and his unfailing love give you strength and comfort today and always. ‎ ‎Agape love to you all! ❤️

protests as usual

They are being French. I’m part Canadian French, I should know it.

Chaos, dear @Dhanyel. Nothing new, but it's becoming increasingly worrisome.

Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone here can answer a question for me regarding the original songs. As far as I understand, the department responsible for producing them has a team of brothers and sisters who write the songs that are requested by the teaching committee. My question is this. Do they consider songs that are sent in by others. If they do, then my guess would be that there are strict guidelines to be met. I would expect the song to be written by a human and not AI generated. It would also have to pass the musical standards in terms of lyrics and musical genre. The spiritual standing of the writer will also be a factor. If anyone here knows any more information, I would appreciate some advice on this, particularly on how to submit any songs to the correct department. Thank you

World powers continue to struggle for dominance, just as the Bible foretold. However, we wait on Jehovah rather than trying to identify every political development as prophetic.

What's happening in France?

There is a portion of time where KotN uses the gold and silver as treasures and desirable things of the KotS for him to pursue his goal, which is unsurprising. Well, this is part of the timeline that has to be fulfilled.

Worldwide the KOTN and KOTS are pushing around in Africa, Middle East and other places in the world to get their resources.

No, and no? How have we seen this? I don't understand.
