By "later than expected" I mean that our expectation of the "Peace and Security" cry has been adjusted. This what we used to think about the "Peace and Security" cry: *** w19 September p. 9 pars. 7-8 Armageddon Is Good News! *** How will we know when that tribulation is about to begin? The Bible tells us about a most unusual proclamation. It will serve as a signal announcing the great tribulation. 8 That will be the foretold proclamation of “peace and security.” This is what we now think about the "Peace and Security" cry: *** w26 February p. 31 par. 2 Questions From Readers *** This future proclamation has been described as the final signal that the great tribulation is about to begin. However, after further careful consideration, it seems that there is another possible explanation that we cannot rule out. Perhaps the proclamation of “peace and security” will be made after the destruction of false religion. So it may come "later than expected" in the sense of the difference now in our understanding of the sequence of events. Of course, our expectation is purely our personal view based on what we know. Nothing Jehovah does is ever "late" from his perspective. But our focus on what will precipitate the start of the great tribulation has been adjusted and the counsel provided in 2025 is ever more valid: *** w25 November p. 31 par. 7 Questions From Readers *** We need not look for news reports that governments are slowly becoming more supportive of the United Nations. What we can expect is this: With startling suddenness, Jehovah will put it into the hearts of the nations to hand over their power to the wild beast. When that happens, we will know that the great tribulation is about to begin. Our understanding now is that the "Peace and Security" cry could occur after this event, "later than (previously) expected".

All humans came from Adam. We need to stick to the Bible. That is why we are all screw up today. It is because of Adam, that Jehovah rescued us by means of his son Jesus. Gods word the Bible gives us enough information to know what we need to know. Getting deep into skip generations, etc. will confuse us. Stick to the Bible. By doing so, will vanish this so called Neanderthal problem.

I find it rather fascinating that they are trying to rescue DNA from Mammoths that they think are 35-50k years. Perhaps they didn't die as far back as they think.

Well to begin with Organized can be used as an app, scheduling doesn't require a computer, it can be done on your pad, phone, anything as long as it has a connection. The cons are it doesn't have all the functions NWP has such as territories. Feel free to check the demo version for yourself on the website.

The day is set. It has already been decided. (Habakkuk 2:3) 3 For the vision is yet for its appointed time, And it is rushing toward its end, and it will not lie. Even if it should delay, keep in expectation of it! For it will without fail come true. It will not be late! https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=nwtsty&srctype=wol&bible=35002003&srcid=share *** w18 November p. 16 par. 13 Trust in Jehovah and Live! *** 13 Read Habakkuk 2:3. Jehovah surely was pleased with Habakkuk’s decision to wait. The Almighty was fully aware of Habakkuk’s dire circumstances. Therefore, God provided consolation by lovingly and gently assuring the prophet that he would receive answers to his sincere questions. Relief for all his worries would come before too long. God, in effect, told Habakkuk: “Be patient, trust in me. My answer will come despite the apparent delay!” Jehovah reminded him that He had an appointed time for fulfilling His promises. He counseled Habakkuk to wait for the accomplishment of His purposes. Ultimately, the prophet would not be disappointed. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=2018641&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=23

Me too. My mom read it in one night she loved it so much.

We keep expectation but we should have a balanced life.

Not if Jehovah intervenes and puts everything into place including the one thought of giving there power to the UN. I feel Satan and the demons are just causing chaos trying to do everything against peace and security.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t changing. It’s stopping. We stay busy, distracted, moving forward even when we know we’re off course. Slowing down feels risky. Quiet gives thoughts room to talk back, and we don’t always like what they say. Think of someone walking the wrong way down a road and knowing it. Turning around doesn’t fix the miles already behind them. It just means the next step isn’t a lie anymore. That turn can feel clumsy. It can feel late. But it counts.

Question regarding JW Library > Personal Study and tags. Is it possible to filter using multiple tags? Like say #DBR #Shepherding? Is it possible to reverse order, aka ascending/descending? Or filter via a tag and then search within that tag group? I’m not sure if any of those things are available or even on the possible road map so does anyone have any suggestions or workflows for best use practice given the current tag features? Having 365+ entries in DBR (Daily Bible Reading) seems to overwhelm the purpose of the tagging, I guess I’ve kept up with it in case two or more tags can ever be used to filter in the future. I didn’t keep up with this idea but for a time I was adding text tags because multiple could be searched.

An amazing experience. And a pretty amazing write up with your artistic flair. Thank you. YF Dave

Me too! But then the brother thought it better that I change to "Things in Which it is Impossible for God to Lie." (My overworking mind was demanding more detail than what was provided in the Truth book.)

Everything was fine before the update and this was his response: My dns are as follows. Being as I work from home, I do have an internal DNS server that points to: 9.9.9.9 4.2.2.1 4.2.2.2 4.2.2.4 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 I do not believe that DNS is the issue. I believe it is an issue on my firewall what ports are needed at this point for the application to work anything outbound is also allowed inbound for example 443 80 53 8080 Etc……

Sounds like a very smart answer. 😃Thanks I will let him know. Sounds Latin to me. 😁

What a fun question Lori! and... how amazing that we have our Library that we can look up those books ... no hunting to find it from a book store and pay with dollars we dont have. What a gift!!! I truly marvel at the feast of spiritual food ... even from yester year. Mainstream Christianity would be charging a fortune ... I know cuz I used to buy whatever book Zondervan publishing had.

He is likely using a DNS server on his PC that is restricting him from connecting to the IP addresses used by NWS. The phone is likely using the DNS server configured by his wireless carrier. A PC can set the DNS through Windows or through the router. Windows DNS sometimes overrides the router DNS. Have him choose 8.8.8.8 and 6.6.6.6. These allow virtually everything.

I do not know. I’m too old to remember it. Probably, it was The Three Worlds.

For us it was "What does the Bible Really Teach?" Which was phenomenal cuz having been brought up Protestant it was eye opening to realize what we knew wasnt what the Bible really taught ~ it was as if the title was just for us 🙂

I studied Paradise Lost to Paradise Restored… I have to admit I hated every minute of it

For me it was the little blue book "The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life" 🥰

Thursday, January 29 Be sound in mind.—1 Pet. 4:7. A Christian who is sound in mind does his best to make good decisions that reflect Jehovah’s thinking. Such a Christian knows that nothing in life is more important than his relationship with Jehovah. He has a balanced view of himself, knowing that he does not have all the answers. And he demonstrates his reliance on God by approaching Jehovah often in humble prayer. We realize that we need to keep praying to Jehovah regardless of any natural abilities we may have. Therefore, especially when we are faced with important decisions, we pray to Jehovah for guidance, trusting that he knows what is best for us. How thankful we are that Jehovah has designed us in a way that we can reflect his qualities. (Gen. 1:26) Of course, we cannot imitate Jehovah perfectly.—Isa. 55:9. w25.03 11 ¶13; 13 ¶17-18

Webb pushes boundaries of observable Universe closer to Big Bang 28 Jan 28 2026 - NASA Webb Mission Team -Goddard Space Flight Center By now Webb has established that it will eventually surpass virtually every benchmark it sets in these early years, but the newly confirmed galaxy, MoM-z14, holds intriguing clues to the Universe’s historical timeline and just how different a place the early Universe was than astronomers expected. “With Webb, we are able to see farther than humans ever have before, and it looks nothing like what we predicted, which is both challenging and exciting,” said Rohan Naidu of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research, lead author of a paper on galaxy MoM-z14 published in the Open Journal of Astrophysics... Intriguing features MoM-z14 is one of a growing group of surprisingly bright galaxies in the early Universe – 100 times more than theoretical studies predicted before the launch of Webb, according to the research team. “There is a growing chasm between theory and observation related to the early Universe, which presents compelling questions to be explored going forward,” said Jacob Shen, a postdoctoral researcher at MIT and a member of the research team... Article link: https://esawebb.org/news/weic2603/ Pic Description: NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows galaxy MoM-z14 as it appeared in the distant past, only 280 million years after the universe began in the big bang. Image: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Rohan Naidu (MIT); Image Processing: Joseph DePasquale (STScI) The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has topped itself once again, delivering on its promise to push the boundaries of the observable Universe closer to cosmic dawn with the confirmation of a bright galaxy that existed 280 million years after the Big Bang.

For me it was the red "You Can Live Forever On A Paradise Earth." 💖 What about you?
