More then you care to know Dhanyel....more then you care to know. The entire association is feeling the effects of this old system of things, feelings we had never felt in the past. Not even in 1975. Today the air is heavy and suffocating. My husband has cancer and for the next 6 weeks we travel every day for radiation - Mondays through Friday. I keep him up beat and strong. I do not show him my feelings. But......when he goes to sleep I pour out my heart to Jehovah. Another elder has cancer but, worst then my husband. We continue with our ministry, meetings and our bible studys. My husband's bible student is a surgeon so, he makes sure that my husband is well taken care of and answers our questions about my husband's situation. I studied with his wife for years and this Dr. finally came in. He wants to go over the baptism study😲. Hmmmm.....we thlnk he wants to get baptized along with his wife. We will find out today what the gist is when we get back from the clinic. His study is this afternoon. Stay strong Dhanyel...we are all in this together. Continue to pray for one anther. Jehovah is listening. This will all be over soon.35 points

G4 (SEVERE) Geomagnetic Storm WATCH for Wednesday, November 12th
Beggar for the Spirit and 12 others reacted to Friends just call me Ross for a topic
https://spaceweather.com https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/g4-severe-watch-effect-12-november Is it wrong to pray for clear skies? A G4 doesn't happen everyday and I fully intend to "Stand still and show (myself) attentive to the wonderful works of God." --Job 37:14 (NWT prior to the 2013 revision) Or, if the clouds block the show here, I will be sitting still and "considering carefully" Jehovah's wonderful strobe light show LIVE on YouTube...somewhere.13 points -
My heart goes out with you. Some of my zealous friends really feel the weight of this system including me. And those are disadvantages of getting old in this system - cancer. Honestly, im tired of hearing some jw friends getting sick and sleeping in death... Those arent easy to deal with. How long oh Jehovah? May Jehovah give you strength you need.12 points

I love this thought !!! I’m trying every day (just like everyone here) to not let this system get me down! Please Jehovah help us all survive all the people that love you and are suffering right now. I’m begging you. Please keep us together and strong. 1 John 4:11 Beloved ones, if this is how God loved us, then we are also under obligation to love one another.

Can't catch a break
minister159 and 9 others reacted to jwhess for a topic
Things get to us in different levels. Last Saturday, my granddaughter was visiting for the weekend (she is 15). We decided to go out in the field ministry on Saturday and she made arrangements with my other granddaughter (who is in my congregation) for us to join their family. When I drove over to the Kingdom Hall, I noticed that the windshield wiper was not clearing my windshield on the driver's side. I thought it had a seed or leaf particle stuck und the blade. When we made car groups, one older Spanish-speaking brother was left out of a car group. So my Son-In-Law said, "We have a van so he can come with us". We had to stop at their house and when we pulled into their driveway, he tried to put the window down and the mechanism broke. We also discovered that the wiper blade was damaged. So we decided to take our extra publisher back to the KH. He said he had 3 or 4 calls he wanted to make (they are Spanish). So we dropped him off, Picked up my daughters car (which holds 4) and took me back home. We tried to tape the window up but it wouldn't hold. So the 4 of them left me at home to do letter writing and they all went out together in the rain. Then I called and tried to get an appointment to have the window fixed and the earliest they can do it is next Monday (24th). Tomorrow My wife and I take the lead in cart witnessing but there is a 90% chance of rain and the high temperature is going to be 45 degrees (F) in the afternoon. It will be just above freezing in the morning during our shift. So despite our best efforts, time and unforeseen events overtake us all...🙂10 points -

Sometimes...I forget about the basics. Sometimes...I catch myself "spiritualizing" my mental exhaustion and fatigue...rationalizing: "If I would just pray a little more...", or, "If only I were more like Brother so and so...or Sister spiritual...THEN I would be okay...THEN I'd be better!! And sometimes...sometimes I forget that the most spiritual thing I could do, the most "spiritual" that I could possibly be in that moment...is just to accept that I'm human... accept that I'm weak... accept that I need to stop, eat something...and rest. Remember the time Jehovah provided a meal for a suicidal prophet? 1 Kings 19:4: "He went a day’s journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree, and he asked that he might die. He said: “It is enough! Now, O Jehovah, take my life away, for I am no better than my forefathers.” A prophet of Jehovah...coming off the highest "spiritual high" he'd likely ever experienced in his life...and here we find him under a broom tree less than 48 hours later...begging Jehovah to let him die. Why? Because he had become so focused on his spiritual crisis...that he forgot about the basics. Jehovah's spirit had helped him outrun a chariot...but it was his own adrenaline that made him run from Jezebel's death threats. The account doesn't say that he ate after he ran...the account doesn't say that he drank...simply that he experienced a spiritual crisis, panicked and then ran away...into the wilderness...away from Jezebel. He ran so far, so fast...that when he finally collapsed...he forgot he was human. He attributed his failure to a SPIRITUAL failure...but actually, he had simply neglected the basics. But Jehovah didn't forget. Jehovah knew what he needed...and it wasn't a lecture...it wasn't questions about his lack of faith...or even reminders of what he had done in the past. Jehovah knew this dear faithful man needed the basics right then more than ever in his entire life...and he provided them: Rest, a gentle physical touch, food and water...and then MORE rest, followed by ANOTHER physical touch...and ANOTHER meal that then sustained him for 40 days and 40 nights!! And not just any "food"...not cold manna...not something supernatural that Elijah might not have even known what it was...but bread...a warm loaf of bread on a hot stone that no doubt smelt fragrant and wonderful...no doubt tasted crusty outside...soft inside...smelled smoky from the fire...and warmed his cold hands. But did Elijah notice any of those details? Did he even say thank you, to the angel OR to Jehovah? We don't know...we just know he ate, drank...and went back to sleep. Matthew 6:33: "Keep on, then, seeking first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you." Was Elijah following this principle? Yes...and that is precisely what put him in this situation in the first place. His faithfulness ANGERED Satan and his servant, Jezebel...to the point where she sought to have him killed. His suicidal breakdown came FROM putting the Kingdom first...not from avoiding it. But Elijah forgot to take care of the basics...his fear, his spiritual exhaustion CAUSED him to view death as better than life...until Jehovah stepped in...until Jehovah reminded him where his power was coming from! 1 Kings 19:7 "Later the angel of Jehovah came back a second time and touched him and said: “Get up and eat, for the journey will be too much for you." Notice the word "will"...not "could be"...not "might"...no friends, "for the journey WILL be too much for you." My dear brothers and sisters...all of you...please understand this: When you feel too drained to study, too exhausted to pray...or just too empty to feel grateful...please remember that Jehovah answered a suicidal prophet's prayer...with physical touches from a true friend, a couple of meals...and rest. And Jehovah didn't wait until Elijah pulled himself together...he didn't wait until his prophet "got his head back on straight"...he remembered what Elijah forgot...what I forget...what we ALL forget sometimes: We're human...we're imperfect...and we WILL wear out...unless we take care of the basics.9 points

Can't catch a break
minister159 and 8 others reacted to Lance for a topic
Well that phrase seems “ I can’t seem to catch a break”…. Seems to be a common sentiment today. I was talking to a close friend who just went through SKE.. They have been assigned to a small town, they have to rent out their condo at below what their mortgage payment is. The only place they can find to rent is a small basement suite with not even a stove. Work will be a challenge in a small town…. The expression conveys exhaustion, frustration, and the sense that circumstances are unfairly stacked against him. So basically he doesn’t feel that he is being blessed. So we discussed what were some of the needs that he has been looking for in awhile…not the external ones were people notice you.. but what you really need. Breaks do come….sometimes not in circumstances, but in the form of inner peace (Philippians 4:7). 7 and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. So when someone says “I can’t seem to catch a break,” they’re expressing the fatigue of constant setbacks. But it can also be an opening for encouragement … reminding them that while external breaks may be rare, internal and spiritual breaks (peace, resilience, hope) are always available. Think of life as climbing a steep hill. Saying “I can’t catch a break” is like noticing there’s no flat spot to rest. But spiritually, prayer and friends can become those resting places…even if the hill itself doesn’t flatten right away. In my friends case moving to a small town will force him to slow down..which he needs. No dragons to slay .. no major issues… maybe even a bit boring. The small town has many mature ones who have served Jehovah through many trials .. he needs some role models. So how should we face the seemingly unfairness.. of life When facing unfairness.. 4 tools 1)Name it honestly: “This feels unfair.” 2)Anchor it spiritually: “But Jehovah sees, and He provides inner peace.” 3)Seek role models: “Others have endured similar trials…I can learn from them.” 4)Reframe the meaning: “This is not punishment, but preparation.” So, the way to face unfairness isn’t to deny it or minimize it, but to reframe it as part of the refining process. That way, even when external breaks don’t come, the internal breaks….peace, resilience, hope…become the true blessings. I think of the Apostle Paul the King of “not catching a break” … how many ship wrecks.. how many beatings .. on and on .. So, Paul’s perspective was not “I can’t catch a break,” but rather: Phil 4:12-13 12 I know how to be low on provisions and how to have an abundance. In everything and in all circumstances I have learned the secret of both how to be full and how to hunger, both how to have an abundance and how to do without. 13 For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power.9 points -

Some of the photos they showed took me way back. Bittersweet. When Jerry gets resurrected, he will be raring to begin another adventure. He even did hang-gliding! My dream when things are all settled. And perfect. After he left this area, i only knew him from afar. Iʼm thinking his family has, “Jerry-Stories”, that will last from now, until we see him again. Then starts an adventure that will actually last forever. And, i am sure, he will keep busy whith those adventures…8 points -

By cnn https://edition.cnn.com/2025/11/17/middleeast/us-gaza-israel-un-vote-intl-latam The UN Security Council passed a US-drafted resolution Monday that aims to move beyond the fragile truce in Gaza to a more sustainable peace and the reconstruction of the devastated enclave. The 15-member council voted 13 to 0 in favor of the resolution, with abstentions by Russia and China, which declined to use their veto power to block the measure. The resolution was intended to add international legitimacy to US President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan, parts of which formed the basis of the ceasefire that took effect in the Gaza Strip last month. The United States had lobbied hard for its passage, which was praised by Trump in a lengthy post on social media. “Congratulations to the World on the incredible Vote of the United Nations Security Council, just moments ago, acknowledging and endorsing the BOARD OF PEACE, which will be chaired by me, and include the most powerful and respected Leaders throughout the World,” Trump wrote Monday. The resolution authorized elements of the plan, including the establishment of the “Board of Peace” as a transitional authority and the creation of a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza, according to a draft seen by CNN. Trump said Monday that “the members of the Board, and many more exciting announcements, will be made in the coming weeks.” Some diplomatic sources said the resolution will help grant the authority for countries to participate in the ISF, as it will now have UN backing. US Ambassador to the UN Michael Waltz said Monday that the ISF, “a strong coalition of peacekeepers, many from Muslim majority nations like Indonesia, Azerbaijan and others,” will deploy to Gaza “under a unified command” in order to “secure Gaza streets … oversee demilitarization … protect civilians and … escort aid through safe corridors.” US officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, had acknowledged the need for an “international mandate” to support the plan. Ahead of the vote, Waltz warned that “a vote against this resolution is a vote to return to war.” Although the resolution has passed, many questions remain about its implementation, with the draft appearing vague on sequencing and detail.6 points

Something to give much thought to. It fits also with our Watchtower study, over this last weekend - 'Call the Elders'. Part of their oversight should be seen in their ministry time, working with and speaking to the brothers and sisters. With the new CO starting his visits, there maybe new emphasis on aspects of our Christian life, but one thing is for sure - we all need encouragement, simply to keep on going. Well done on what you do, Hannah, may you find joy in your new congregation.6 points

Any Advice or Experiences with Wine as a “Medicine”? 🍷
Amygdala and 4 others reacted to Pionner_who for a topic
https://g1.globo.com/saude/noticia/2023/02/15/faz-bem-tomar-vinho-entenda-como-a-bebida-pode-ajudar-as-bacterias-do-bem-que-temos-no-intestino.ghtml The article is in Portuguese, but it states that wine is good for the gut microbiota. A study by the Heart Institute (InCor) of the Hospital das Clínicas, Faculty of Medicine, University of São Paulo (USP), shows that moderate consumption of red wine helps regulate the gut microbiota, a group of trillions of bacteria living in the intestine. The microbiota is directly associated with diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, fat accumulation in the liver, and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, its quality may be one of the factors that help prevent health problems. In an interview with g1, the two cardiologists responsible for the study, Elisa Haas and Protásio Lemos, stated that the biggest discovery is that the microbiota can benefit from changes in the consumption of foods and beverages. To better understand, it’s necessary to think of the microbiota as an ecosystem. In nature, diverse ecosystems are healthier. The doctor uses a metaphor and explains that just as the environment has suffered from destruction, it is believed that the human body is also going through a process of “impoverishment” of our “internal forest.” The microbiota is acquired during birth (vaginal or C-section), and several factors influence its development over the years. People who live in rural areas have a more diverse microbiota than those who live in cities. Likewise, people who have dogs also show greater diversity than those who do not. 250 ml of wine and improvement in the microbiota Researchers chose red wine because it has a higher content of polyphenols, which can have a beneficial impact on several mechanisms of the human body. More details about the study: Conducted with a group of 42 male volunteers over the age of 60; Volunteers had a history of heart disease (heart attack, catheterization, bypass surgery, carotid disease, peripheral arterial disease, and stroke); For the study, each participant drank 250 ml of red wine daily for 5 days a week, over a period of 3 weeks; They later went through an equal period of alcohol abstinence, both phases preceded by a two-week controlled diet; The break served to compare biological analyses of participants before, during, and after consuming the beverage. The result, explains cardiologist and co-author of the study Elisa Haas, showed improvement in the gut microbiota and changes in the blood related to better energy metabolism and antioxidant activity. Protásio Lemos, senior cardiologist and researcher at InCor, emphasizes that the polyphenols in red wine have important effects on circulation. “One of them is that they act as arterial vasodilators. This is very important because blood circulation heavily depends on arterial wall motility. They also naturally help prevent hemorrhage and have antioxidant properties,” he says. Published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the “WineFlora Study” included specialists from Harvard Medical School (USA), the University of Verona (Italy), the Austrian Institute of Technology, the University of Campinas (Unicamp), the University of São Paulo, and the University of Brasília. Improvements in the gut microbiota “Red wine has a much higher content of polyphenols, a category of substances found in various foods. These compounds are produced by plants and fruits as protection against aggression, and for this reason they are believed to have beneficial effects when ingested,” says Elisa. Because polyphenols are not absorbed by the digestive tract (stomach), they reach the intestine in a more intact form, functioning similarly to fiber. This leads researchers to believe that they may act similarly to probiotics, which help balance the bacteria in the intestine. Microbiota and immunity The immune system is much stronger around the intestines, and during human development it is known that the microbiota “trains” the immune system, which in turn communicates with the central nervous system. In other words, the hypothesis is that a healthy microbiota helps train the immune system to recognize and tolerate pathogens throughout life. Western diets generally contain very little fiber, which is one of the most harmful factors for the gut microbiota. — Elisa Haas, cardiologist and InCor researcher Polyphenols To maintain microbiota regulation, it’s necessary to follow a diet rich in polyphenols, which can also be found in vegetables and fruits, especially dark-colored ones like plums. To treat patients who use antibiotics long-term, medications to restore the gut flora are also used; otherwise, problems can arise. — Protásio Lemos, senior cardiologist and researcher at InCor To maintain the benefits of wine — an alcoholic beverage — it is necessary to keep consumption within a maximum of 30 grams of alcohol per day. For comparison, each standard drink has 12.5 grams of alcohol. Lemos explains that drinking two glasses of wine results in a quantity of alcohol below the recommended maximum. This is consistent with studies showing that possible benefits occur at low to moderate doses. “When intake exceeds that, the incidence of cancer and mortality from accidents increases,” he concludes.5 points -

BBC News doctored Trump video
Kunlesky and 4 others reacted to Frances Bennett for a topic
The BBC is just state propaganda. I'm here in the UK and I see it on a daily basis. When I look at it now I think "Hmmm what do they want the masses to do? Let's see where they are leading everyone" Then there's "Alt media" - which I think is often just another way to lead people. For instance, if the BBC intended to cause division with it's Trump editing, then the division created two groups, right? Those horrified by Mr Trumps [edited] "words", and those in agreement. Both groups need leading. BBC leads one group, alt 'sensationalist' media leads the other (guns a blazin') All that follow either group without asking to see the receipts of their claims are utter fools. They are like the person in Proverbs 18:13 "When anyone replies to a matter before he hears the facts, It is foolish and humiliating" There are some alternative news outlets that bring the receipts. 'UK Column news' in the UK is one such outlet. After every broadcast and article they post a long list of sources for you to check there "working out". Even then the receipts they bring are 'facts' but their conclusions may be flawed, because they are humans with there own flawed perspectives. I do think they show more integrity and honesty than most, though. PS: If any of you do have a look at UK Column news, read the receipts before passing judgement. Passing judgement without doing that would be like the guy in the Proverb again5 points -
The mainstream media has been losing ground to alt-media so they copy their style while alt-media sees mainstream media gaining ground so they copy their new style so mainstream media changes to be more like alt-media so alt-media adjust to seem more like mainstream media so .......

This is what I think will happen. The destruction of Babylon the Great is described in Revelation chapters 17 and 18. According to Bible prophecy, the sequence of events is as follows: 1. The Destruction of Babylon the Great Comes First. The political powers (symbolized by a "wild beast" in Revelation) that once supported false religion will turn on it and destroy it. (Revelation 17:16-17) This is a dramatic act of God's judgment that stuns the world. 2. The Cry of "Peace and Security!" Follows. The destruction of false religion will be seen by the political leaders as removing a major source of division and conflict. They will likely hail this event as a new dawn for humanity, believing that with a unified world under their control and without religious strife, they have finally achieved "peace and security." 3. Then, "Sudden Destruction" on the Entire World System. It is at this very moment, when the political powers are taking credit and the world is celebrating its supposed new era of peace, that Jesus Christ will lead the armies of heaven in destroying the entire wicked system of mankind, including those very political powers, at the war of Armageddon. (Revelation 19:11-21) In Summary: According to the Bible's prophetic timeline, the destruction of Babylon the Great (false religion) comes first. This event will then trigger the cry of "Peace and Security!" from the world's political leaders. That cry is the final, unmistakable sign that "sudden destruction" from God, Armageddon, is immediately at hand. This understanding is a powerful reason for us to remain spiritually awake and separate from the world's false religious and political systems. We know that true and lasting peace will not come from human rulers, but only from God's Kingdom under Christ, which will soon rule over the earth. (Daniel 2:44)5 points

We expect all community members to be active publishers in their congregations, therefore, please do not apply for membership if you are not currently one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
