A lot of countries are now bringing in curfews to try and bring back law and order… they’re rioting over many different things, food shortages, schools, economy etc, but one thing is sure that it’s spreading through Europe It must be so frightening for the friends caught up in this, maybe unable to leave their homes etc It’s good to keep them all in our prayers.

I'm sure Br Splane approved of the switch. Perhaps we'll get an explanation in a future Update. Here's how I imagine Splane explaining it: "Some of you may be wondering why I was replaced in this illustration of the GT. Well, let's start off by reminding everyone that these are just artist depictions of events that may take place. These illustrations are to help us to visualize that time-period, they are not meant to be prophetic. So why was my picture replaced? Well, I like to imagine that during the GT I will try to get through a security checkpoint, but just when they are about to let me through, my fake mustache peels off my face. That's when they pull me from my vehicle and discover a banned WT inside the hollowed-out center of a baguette. Next thing I know I'm in heaven. And since I'm no longer around, the Nations are going to have to look for a different member of the GB - and that's Jodele. Of course, I'm only joking. No one knows what the future holds. Perhaps I'll hide a WT inside of a croissant, instead. We'll just have to wait and see."

Done! 😊 gemini_generated_video_1b22564f.mp4

LIFE AND MINISTRY MEETING WORKBOOK March–April 2027 TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD . Jehovah’s Response to Gog’s Attack (10 min.) “Gog of the land of Magog” will attack Jehovah’s people during the great tribulation (Eze 38:2, 8; w19.09 11 ¶13) We will seem defenseless and will need to trust in Jehovah (Eze 38:10-12; w22.01 6 ¶13) The attack will move Jehovah to act in our behalf (Eze 38:18, 22, 23; w22.05 17 ¶10) FOR MEDITATION: How can I prepare for Gog’s attack?—w21.11 20 ¶1-2.

We know the voice of our shepherd. Remember the letter the KGB intercepted and the fake one they sent out? Real Christians could tell that the new letter wasn't biblically-based and so will we. We have discernment - we know what the Bible teaches and how to reason on principles. The GB will never ask us to sin, so we know not to follow those instructions. Our daily studies will make sure we are not fooled by false reasoning and we will easily spot and reject directions that go against scripture. Any instruction besides that might be a trick (such as "turn yourselves in"), but if we follow such instructions and they turn out to be a trap - so what? Is Jehovah too weak to rescue us? Of course not! And Jehovah will see that we fell into such a trap because we have faith in him. He may even turn the situation to our favor. So 1) we don't need to fear false scriptural directions because we know Jehovah's voice and 2) we don't need to fear a police trap because Jehovah can rescue us. What else is there to fear?

Saturday, October 24 Your activity will be rewarded.—2 Chron. 15:7. Parents, encourage your child to look for opportunities to share Bible truth with others. (Rom. 10:10) You might compare his efforts to talk about his faith with the efforts needed to play a musical instrument. At first, a learner practices tunes that are simple to play. In time, playing music becomes easier. Similarly, a young Christian might at first use a simple approach when sharing his faith with others. For example, he might ask a schoolmate: “Did you know that engineers often copy designs from nature? Let me show you a fascinating video.” After sharing a video from the series Was It Designed? he might say: “If a scientist gets credit for a design that already exists in nature, who deserves credit for the original?” Such a simple approach might be enough to stimulate a young person’s interest and leave him open to learning more. w24.12 19 ¶17-18

Friday, October 23 He was moved with pity for them, because they were as sheep without a shepherd.—Mark 6:34. No doubt you love Jehovah and want to serve others. How can you strengthen your desire to serve? Why not think about the joys that can come from serving your brothers and sisters? Jesus said: “There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.” (Acts 20:35) He lived by this principle. He found real joy in serving others. Consider an example found at Mark 6:31-34. On this occasion, Jesus and his apostles were tired. They were on their way to an isolated place to get some rest. But a crowd got there ahead of them, hoping to be taught by Jesus. He could have said no. After all, he and his companions “had no leisure time even to eat a meal.” Or Jesus could have sent the people away after sharing only one or two truths. But because he was motivated by love, he “started to teach them” until “the hour had grown late.”—Mark 6:35. w24.11 16 ¶9-10

i know it’s hard my dear brother/sister and Jehovah wants to end this more than we do. i dont feel like i’m being fooled but i do feel much hurt at what humans are doing to each other. Php 4:8 helps me when i get overwhelmed with the chaos of Satan’s wicked system. You hang in there! Jehovah’s going to rescue us soon ❤️

"I'll give you a moment to find the answer" 😁

Thursday, October 22 O Jehovah, what is man that you should notice him?—Ps. 144:3. From the Bible, we learn that Jehovah notices those who seem unimportant to others. For example, Jehovah sent the prophet Samuel to the house of Jesse to anoint one of his sons as the future king of Israel. Jesse called seven of his eight sons to meet Samuel but did not include David, the youngest. Yet, it was David whom Jehovah chose. (1 Sam. 16:6, 7, 10-12) Jehovah saw who David really was on the inside—a young man who valued spiritual things. Think about how Jehovah has already shown that he notices you. He offers to give you advice tailored to fit your needs. (Ps. 32:8) How can he do that unless he knows you well? (Ps. 139:1) When you apply Jehovah’s advice and see how it helps you, you will become convinced that Jehovah is interested in you. (1 Chron. 28:9; Acts 17:26, 27) Jehovah takes note of your efforts. He sees your inner qualities and is moved to reach out to you.—Jer. 17:10. w24.10 25-26 ¶7-9

Sure! 😊 First, I divide the Bible account into small scenes and create pictures for them using chatgpt. Then I use Gemini to animate the pictures into videos. I describe the characters' movements, facial expressions, camera angles, lighting, and sounds in the prompts. Gemini can also add background music and sound effects if I ask for them. Sometimes Gemini generates three 10-second clips, making a 30-second video. For the other clips, I generate them separately and combine everything using a video editor. The hardest part is getting Gemini to follow the instructions correctly! Sometimes characters look in the wrong direction, change their appearance, or do something completely unexpected. Once, when the attendant asked Elisha, 'Master, what are we to do?' Elisha suddenly turned Chinese! 🤣 In another clip I asked Gemini to make the attendant look astonished, and it made his eyes glow like the heavenly army was inside them..😂 So, there's a lot of trial and error. I keep correcting the prompts and regenerating clips until I'm satisfied with the result. You can also take help from chatgpt to make the video prompts. This 40-second video took quite a few attempts, but it's fun when everything finally comes together!😊

Monday, October 19 When you spread a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; and you will be happy, because they have nothing with which to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous ones.—Luke 14:13, 14. Brothers, you demonstrate that you are “hospitable” when you do good things for others, including those outside your circle of close friends. (1 Pet. 4:9) One reference work describes a hospitable man this way: “The door of his house—and of his heart—must be open to strangers.” Ask yourself, ‘What is my reputation when it comes to welcoming visitors?’ (Heb. 13:2, 16) A hospitable man shares what he can with visitors, including lowly ones of little means and hardworking servants, such as circuit overseers and visiting speakers.—Gen. 18:2-8;Prov. 3:27; Acts 16:15; Rom. 12:13. w24.11 21 ¶6

We need to be balanced. Jezus asked us to stop being anxious. How much we worry is a conscious matter (ha, did you see how I threw the monkey wrench in the works 😉😆🐵🔧).

While I was waiting at a red light I noticed that the car in front of me had a "Honk if you love Jesus" sign on it, so just as the light turned green I hit the horn enthusiastically, to show how much I love Jesus. The man was so nice, he stuck his hand out the window and pointed to heaven with his biggest finger! Its so nice to meet good Christians on the road.

The pictures do not predict the future. They are meant to teach a lesson, not try to foretell how the future will unfold. So, no. The 2 pictures do not mean that. It's possible all those brothers might be dead by the time of the attack on God's people. We hope not, but time and unforseen events happen to everyone. The pictures teach the lesson that Satan will use the nations to attack our organization, including those taking the lead at that time. Current GB members are depicted so that we all can quickly recognize that the picture is showing the attack on God's people. We hope those brothers are taking the lead at the time this happens. We hope this happens tomorrow or later today. But no. We should never read more into the images than what is actually there. If we have to ask "does this mean that..." then it's possible we're thinking too hard about the lesson and missing the point.

True, its not likely we will ever see any of the GB wearing a MAGA hat or suggesting we vote because it will fulfill a Bible prophecy...🤣

In addition to switching out Splane for Jedele.

I was delighted that a third series of Blue Planet starts in the U.K. on November 1st. I love the sea and all the weird and wonderful things that live in it. If you like wildlife documentaries I would thoroughly recommend it. I would hope it would find its way to the U.S.

I've encoded the Examining the Scriptures Daily 2027 from text to speech (MP3) using an AI tool for the entire year of 2027. It includes all exported "read" scriptures, footnotes and study notes that are read too, as well as all the referenced scriptures for that day text are read after the day text. The encoded these for a brother that can't read anymore because of failing eyes. If there's anyone that can benefit from these, please forward them the links (below).

We are asked to trust only the information provided on the official website. But imagine if our website gets hacked and misleading information were published on it....😨 Hope Jehovah will not allow that to happen..

There's a math reference missing, Justinah. Our very dear brother really loves math.

This situation with the development of AI in the wrong hands puts me in mind of a time long ago: "Jehovah then said: “Look! They are one people with one language, and this is what they have started to do. Now there is nothing that they may have in mind to do that will be impossible for them."Genesis 11:6 Jehovah took action then, and he will soon be taking action again.

More than fun for us, it is simply amazing how those scenarios can be brought to life. Thanks for your hard work in this regard and your generous sharing of the results. 😊

The last time I was pulled over by a policeman on a very long distance pot-holed riddled section of the highway, he asked me: "Do I know roughly what speed was I doing?" I replied "Yes officer, I was flying". "You surely was" and pulled out his book to write out the speeding ticket. "Excuse me sir?" I responded, "If I was flying, you cannot write out a speeding ticket, as the wheels of the car were mostly off the ground". "Well, that is true to a point. However, each time your wheels did touch the ground whilst you were attempting to land from your flying expedition, you were still over the speed limit. Thus that is why I am writting out the ticket for." I have just paid off my 23rd "landing" ticket, I still got another 49 to go.

Thank you. I should know all our GB members. But this way their identify is safe with me! 😜 I think I need a nap. Has anyone checked on Bro Splane? 🤔

Wednesday, October 21 I saw . . . a great crowd . . . out of all nations.—Rev. 7:9. We are moved to keep zealously preaching by considering what is being accomplished worldwide today. Each year, millions of interested ones attend the Memorial and study the Bible with us. Hundreds of thousands get baptized and join us in the preaching work. We do not know how many may yet respond to our preaching work, but we do know that Jehovah is gathering a great crowd who will survive the coming great tribulation. (Rev. 7:9, 14) The Master of the harvest continues to see potential in the field, so we have good reason to keep preaching. (Luke 10:2) Jesus’ disciples have always been identified by their zealous preaching. When people witnessed the outspokenness of the apostles, “they began to realize that they had been with Jesus.” (Acts 4:13) As people observe us in the ministry, may they see that we too have been influenced by Jesus’ zealous example. w25.03 18 ¶15; 19 ¶17-18

PixVerse_V6_Image_Text_540P_A_beautiful_photor.mp4 I just wanted one of people waving to each other because that's what I imagined when I imagined walking through Paradise. I would realize that everyone was a worshipper and we survived the Old System and I'd explode with joy.

I live in senior apt complex. Ground floor living. Very small 550 sq ft. No garage. There are 9 witnesses here and several more on the waiting list. The manager is also a witness but I would not have known it without her telling me. Very aloof, not warm friendly like I am use to. I have way to much stuff for the space I have. But I have bought a rocket stove that would cook off liquid sterno. I bought a bed tent so when I loose electric for heat my Poppy and Maggie Mae and I can stay cozy and warm. I have two Tupperware type totes that I have dry food in. They are large like 2.5 ft long by 2 ft tall approx. I hate what little space I have no longer feels homey and pretty but looks like a old lady hoarder. I have gone to all the friends and told them where I live so we all know where to go, who to trust. I know my neighbors. Alma who lives directly behind me is a character. She looks like granny Clampett but smokes weed like Willie and Snoop. I do believe she could smoke them under the table. I thought weed makes you hungry but it looks like she does not eat at all. Yes Granny Clampett described her size, stature and shuffling gait. Instead of a shotgun she totes bear spray holstered on her hip and a life alert hanging from her neck. In just under one year that I have been here she has been to the hospital 3 times. She asked me if I ever 'got a good look at our fire men (department)? I said no I am sure they look good. 🤪 It never hurts to have an attractive face to look at as all muscle and brawn lift you to what might be your final destination. Our maintenance man cautioned me to avoid her baked goods because she gave him a gummy candy that put him in the dirt. I do believe the GT will be very interesting in my neck of the woods. I also bought heavy contractors bags to put in bathtub and hopefully can have enough notice to fill them up with water and they are used as a bladder to hold a 55 gal bag of water. Life straws and a solar batter. I've thought about small freezer but just no space. I must rely on Jehovah for the rest. I pray for all our friends everywhere that we stick tight like Velcro.
