There's a new report on JW.ORG: https://www.jw.org/en/global-communications/country/ukraine/special-report-ukraine-assaults-prosecution-imprisonment-conscientious-objectors/ Trigger warning: Contains images of fractured bones and bleeding. I'm glad the GB decided to highlight this human rights issue in a special report. It appears to be targeted specifically at officials and humanitarian organisations.13 points

Br. Ekrann's Morning Worship talk truly feels like a therapy session. Free of charge, from the best therapist ever - Jehovah! Very helpful pointers....to search deep within us to find out the reasons why we do/did what we do. Powerful illustration of stumbling: What made me fall? Did I get tripped? Was I not paying attention? Was there a stumbling block on my path? Was the pavement cracked? Things to look out for: familiarity - when ee know what emotional buttons to press when it comes to our mates/family members feels like we're being attacked - what's our trigger? How do we respond to these triggers? Each stumble is a chance to learn - whether we did a self-analysis why it happened, or someone else does it for us. WOW!12 points

What a terrible feeling! The atmosphere of this system is truly polluted, and it’s as if we can already smell the great tribulation coming. I find myself wondering: what else could possibly get worse? Food prices keep rising, the cost of living is incredibly high, morality is rapidly declining, and violence is increasing at an alarming rate. People seem to have less and less patience, while stress and anxiety are taking over so many lives. Governments seem to be crushing people under the weight of endless demands and financial burdens. And on top of all that, wars continue to bring suffering and destruction to so many parts of the world. It seems as though the entire world is overwhelmed by problems, and all of this is a striking characteristic of the times we are living in. It’s hard not to reflect on the meaning of these events in light of Bible prophecy. For those of us who know God’s Word, these events are a clear sign that Jehovah’s day is approaching! May we continue to strengthen our faith and trust in Jehovah’s promises, knowing that he will not allow all this suffering to continue forever.12 points

It is really interesting, Tega. Sister @Skyesummarized it well. Let’s say these are reminders about changing the way we think and putting love at the heart of our way of thinking and acting. It’s a routine, but one that doesn’t seem to be as deeply ingrained in our efforts. So here’s a little reminder. There’s also a beautiful analysis of the Book of Malachi in the “Let’s Seek Treasures” series. I hope you’ll enjoy it.9 points

We also remember the three dear brothers who spent their youth in a hot tin shed in Eritrea, and though released, they still need our prayers. Likely, they are deeply scarred by the savage experience, yet with Jehovah's help, they remained so faithful. I often think of how these loyal ones, treated well for just a few hours in a courtroom, were sent back to those same subhuman conditions for years. I weep for them, and contemplating how they kept their faith reminds me to handle local challenges with equanimity. I often pray that they feel Jehovah's love and care supporting them every moment, every day, as they try to recover.9 points

Monday morning, US election week. Let me get this straight: - grocery stores throughout Europe have had their fridges turned up to 100+ degrees by unknown hackers (Portuguese supermarkets affected too) - aka exactly what a sophisticated actor would do if they wanted to disrupt US east coast food supply next week - US military bases already had essentially the same thing happen last week - founder of Shopify tweets there’s a TCP vulnerability that basically makes every server on earth that’s not a managed service completely remotely controllable - a nontechnical 26 year old hacked several major banks using only chatbots - billions of dollars successfully stolen from different exchanges in several countries, notably most of that was $6.3b from binance in just 20 minutes. They’re “fine” per the CEO. Okay lol - random civilian private jet crashes a few miles outside trumps house yesterday, right as Tucker Carlson of all people warns us Trump might be considering using nukes - US Senator who warned about the same thing recently “had a stroke” over the weekend, alright sure - bibi lost his majority so his only chance to stay in power is for a new war to begin (?) - Poland currently in constitutional crisis/coup, both it and Lithuania just sent troops to the border w/Russia. NATO did the same in Latvia. Turkey moved fighter jets to the border too. - Germany’s leaders phones all hacked - openai and Anthropic are going to release gpt-6.2 and fable 5.5 after elections this week because somehow more capable models will help? - many streets in downtown DC is shut down right now for a speech today outside the Lincoln memorial? - DOJ trying to pull ballots in California (?) - documentaries openly critical of Elon & Zuck are BOTH pulled from theaters in just weeks because nobody knew about them and went to saw them. Not suspicious at all. - oh and Russia and Ukraine both had their nuclear alerts hacked and sent false alerts of “impending air raids, chemical, and nuclear attacks” what could go wrong! Unbelievably, there is not a hint of any of this on my Facebook, insta, tiktok, reddit, threads, blue sky, or LinkedIn feeds. Only X You can ask any ai except chat about it and it goes, no yeah that’s about right. ChatGPT goes “you’re not allowed to ask about this” What a strange moment in time…9 points

The Three-Day Convention Years ago, the Catholic Church began noticing something about Jehovah's Witnesses. Every summer, thousands of Witnesses would gather for three-day conventions. They'd fill stadiums and assembly halls, listen to Bible talks, sing together, and go home talking about what they'd learned. Well, the Catholics looked at this and thought, Why should they have all the conventions? We can do that too! So they organized their own three-day convention. Now, they wanted to do things a little differently. Jehovah's Witnesses would announce a Scriptural theme for each day, and the program would develop that theme. The Catholics decided they'd wait until the end of each day, see how things went, and then choose an appropriate scripture. Friday arrived. Thousands gathered. The program began. Unfortunately, things didn't go particularly well. The speakers weren't prepared, the schedule fell apart, and by the afternoon, half the audience was wondering what was going on. The organizers met that evening to select a scripture that best described the day. After considerable discussion, they announced their Friday theme: John 5:4 Well, Saturday came. Surely things would improve. They didn't. The morning session started late. One speaker never showed up. Another spoke so long that they had to cancel the afternoon program. That evening, the organizers met again. And after reviewing the day's events, they announced Saturday's theme: Acts 8:37 By Sunday morning, everyone was determined to make the final day a success. But somehow, it was worse than the first two. The speakers disagreed with one another. The audience was confused. People wandered from session to session, trying to figure out what they were supposed to be learning. Finally, the convention ended. The organizers gathered one last time to choose their closing scripture. And this time, they agreed unanimously. Their Sunday theme would be taken from: Acts 19:328 points

Friday, October 30 Become imitators of God, as beloved children.—Eph. 5:1. In the days ahead, we will encounter trials that will require us to lean on Jehovah as never before. Bible accounts and experiences of modern-day Witnesses will help us discern how God has displayed rocklike qualities to support his servants. Think deeply about those accounts. Doing so can help you to make Jehovah your Rock. Also, you will be better equipped to build up the congregation. For example, Jesus gave Simon the name Cephas (translated “Peter”), which means “A Piece of Rock.” (John 1:42) This indicated that he would become a source of comfort and stability in the congregation. Congregation elders are described as “the shadow of a massive crag.” That illustrates how they protect those in the congregation. (Isa. 32:2) Of course, the congregation benefits when all—brothers and sisters—imitate Jehovah’s rocklike qualities. w24.06 28 ¶10-118 points

ongoing case in Sweden. https://bitterwinter.org/shunning-subsidies-and-the-secular-state-jehovahs-witnesses-in-the-courts-of-norway-and-sweden/ I find it odd that the world finds it odd when our organisation disciplines its members. If you work in an office and get caught stealing what happens..do you not fired ? Rest assured you dont get an invite to the next office party. One famous actor accused of something , was brought to trial in usa and found not guilty - then brought to trial in uk and also found not guilty. The reporter said of his case, that in the three years of this legal process and I quote "he had been shunned by Hollywood"8 points

Checking your info through Snopes : In 2017, a viral video said the Pentagon was going to shut down power to all of North America between Nov. 4 and 6. It turned out to be a routine Army radio exercise, and the Army said "There will be no turning off of the power grid or public or private communications." Those posts also claimed the military was hiding it from the media to avoid panic, which reporters noted should raise a red flag. Fact-checkers debunked similar global-blackout rumors earlier this year, saying this strategy of spreading fear using specific dates and timeframes for power outages is a recurring pattern on the internet. (digital release.wkrn +3) The election: the date is correct. The 2026 general election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, 2026, and all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are up for election, along with 35 U.S. Senate seats. (abcnews4) (newschannel9) A few things in the message mix up how the system works: The House can impeach with a simple majority. Removing a president takes a two-thirds Senate vote (67 senators), and winning the Senate doesn't give either party that many. Impeachment isn't a criminal conviction. Criminal charges would go through the courts, separately. Martial law, a dictatorship, or a nuclear strike on Iran are guesses about the future. No news report backs any of them, and I can't verify predictions. About the great tribulation: You already know Jesus said no one knows the day or the hour (Matt. 24:36). Messages like this one build fear from things nobody can check. Keeping your eyes open while not getting caught up in rumors is a good way to stay calm.7 points

Sunday, November 1 I will not stay resentful forever.—Jer. 3:12. The elders strive to reflect Jehovah’s compassion as they deal with someone who has been removed from the congregation. For example, Jehovah did not wait for his wayward people in ancient Israel to take the first step. Rather, he took the initiative to reach out to them even before they showed any signs of repentance. Jehovah illustrated his compassion by telling the prophet Hosea to offer reconciliation to his wife, who was still sinning. (Hos. 3:1; Mal. 3:7) In imitation of Jehovah, Christian elders genuinely want the wrongdoer to return, and they do not make it difficult for him to do so. In Jesus’ parable of the lost son, the father “ran and embraced [his son] and tenderly kissed him.” (Luke 15:20) Notice that the father did not wait for his son to beg for forgiveness. Rather, he took the initiative, as any loving father would. w24.08 28 ¶7-87 points

Someone hacked into the government emergency alert systems in Russia and Ukraine and told people that nuclear missles were headed their way. Also hacked some app's and did the same thing. I can only imagine the panick that caused. It's getting to the point where their are no "safety" measures in place anymore because people always find a way around them. Everything that is going on now should really drive home to us that Jehovah is the only one we can trust and to stick as close as possible to him and his organization.6 points

Tuesday, November 3 You became so beloved to us.—1 Thess. 2:8. Brothers, to qualify as an elder, you must “be irreprehensible,” that is, have a good reputation in the congregation because your conduct is above reproach. (1 Tim. 3:2) In addition, you should have a fine testimony from outsiders. Unbelievers may criticize your Christian beliefs, but they should have no valid reason to question your honesty or conduct. (Dan. 6:4, 5) Ask yourself, ‘Do I have a good reputation both inside and outside the congregation?’ If you are “a lover of goodness,” you look for the good in others and commend them for their fine qualities. (Titus 1:8) You are also happy to do good for others, even going beyond what is required. Why is this quality so important for elders? Because they use much of their valuable time to shepherd the congregation and care for assignments. (1 Pet. 5:1-3) Even so, the joy that comes from serving others far outweighs any sacrifice.—Acts 20:35. w24.11 20-21 ¶3-56 points

https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=jwlshare&wtlocale=T&lank=pub-jwbvod26_45_VIDEO Here our brother mentioned that Jehovah CREATED time and established the speed at which time would pass. I believe that certain things we will only understand in the new world, but even then, that's not a certainty. In the new world, I would like to understand if Jesus is also outside of time, given that Jesus was the first creation and not time.6 points
