  1. Past hour
  2. The congregations have not yet been officially informed by Bethel. I prefer to wait until we know exactly what we are being told before discussing it. I only know from friends who attended the morning service on Wednesday with the Bethel family that Brother Splane said that the Prefect involved in the proceedings had dropped the charges... for now.
  3. Our voices will not stop preaching; we may use different methods of preaching, but stop? Never!
  4. Today
  5. Royal astronauts keep escaping satellites. PLAST
  6. I wouldn't call the entire 3 1/2 years of hell a 'respite'. The respite would have been just long enough for faithful Christians to recognize the fulfillment of Jesus prophetic words and flee as soon as the Roman troops retreated. No delay, no hesitation. Otherwise, they would be trapped.
  7. Connotations are the associated or secondary meanings of a word or expression, beyond its explicit or primary definition, and included are the emotional, cultural, or implied ideas that a word suggests, rather than what it directly denotes.
  8. All credit goes to Jehovah https://www.space.com/astronomy/black-holes/james-webb-space-telescope-spots-rapidly-feeding-supermassive-black-hole-in-the-infant-universe-this-discovery-is-truly-remarkable
  9. Requested and questioned, while similar, can have drastically different connotations.
  10. After a case was heard by the Racing Commission which led to other examinations. JUlie had to pay amounts owed with interest, but her Derby win was unchallenged; Anthony bought a thoroughbred and raised it backside, while still driving cab and sometimes offering vitamins supplements to other horses; and one morning at the boarding house, some one came to the door and talked about better times and offered some Bible Literature which was gladly accepted, and the toaster could not be fixed.
  11. Welcome to the forum and watch for zooms, Qatar's and Rocket's. 

  12. Perhaps this is the reason our publications come out way in advance. It didn't used to be so far ahead. We have food for meetings 6 months ahead.
  13. “The center of the world’s attention” Ezek. 38:12 ISV Translation] People will realize Jehovah’s Witnesses are true prophets which will give added weight like hailstones to their message after Babylon the Great has fallen, it will be unusually great. It is possible we will be mute just as Ezekiel was during the fall of Jerusalem then resumed after. Therefore we may become mute as to preaching during the attack on BTG then resume preaching after during the respite. In this way we will become "the center of the world's attention" which explains why they come to attack us at the end but their attention during the first phase is primarily on Babylon the Great which would be why they are attacked.
  14. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/nov/23/who-can-tame-trump-pope-leo-xiv-catholic-church-usa This could get things going…
  15. We will have an update picking up on some points, in our AGM, yet to be put up
  16. We represent a brotherhood That stands for what is right and good
  17. That "brief respite" lasted 3 1/2 years. If we compare that to phase 2 of the great tribulation you are proving my point. We don't know how long that respite will last. It could last literally years - we do not know. i don't think we will be going door to door or metro witnessing as usual during the GT. Do they preach in Russia right now? Technically, but only informally. I believe it will be the same during the GT; officially we will not be preaching but unofficially we will never really stop. it would be fairly easy for the world at large to "not notice us" because it isn't overt like a preaching campaign would be. From the average Russian's perspective Jehovah's witnesses no longer preach in Russia. I believe it will look similar, from the world's perspective, during the great tribulation.
  18. Give Joy, Yes Continue Evangelising R A K E S
  19. She made a great art of the painting style, and had the reputation of being a lovely sister.
  20. Sacrifice and toleration is what we all share here when we are trying to play the game, as requested.
  21. Ah well, as an old Dick Van Dyke film - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - said "from the ashes of disaster......."
  22. meantime in Russia .... https://www.humanrightsresearch.org/post/russia-intensifies-crackdown-on-jehovah-s-witnesses-in-occupied-crimea-and-across-the-federation
  23. Do you have more information about what he said about the case in France, can find no other info apart from this site on the subject
  24. You got your monthly quota for next month.

    • Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      I tried to change my handle to 'whoosh>' but the system doesn't allow. It would be good to know the rules beforehand on what is not permitted. 😮‍💨

      I am thoroughly convinced that 99% of people are programmed, and only 1% really think & reason on matters.

      As an example, how did the above statement make you feel right away?

      Did you:

      1. Feel a twinge of offense?  Like I was insulting you or someone you know?

      2. Not feel anything?  Because you knew it wasn't about you or someone you cared about?



      If you answered either 1 or 2, you are programmed.

      Now are you offended?  

      Any knee-jerk reaction = programming.  🤔🤔🤔

      When I originally made that statement, if you are not programmed, then perhaps you asked yourself:

      1. Could this apply to me?
      2. Could the brother be mistaken?
      3. Is there any truth to what he's saying?
      4. What is the brother trying to convey with this thought?
      5. Is this situation even worth my time and attention?

      We need knee-jerk reactions for life-or-death situations.  For snap decisions that cannot wait.  But this isn't one of those.  You have time.  Did you ask any of those questions when you read my first statement?  Did you ponder over it at all?

      NOW how do you feel?  A little enlightened?  Mind opening up to new possibilities for responding to situations?  Or more upset because this brother has no idea what he's talking about?  

      In any case, hope you had fun with this thought experiment....
