That last post, in and of itself, fully justifies the pilot project: providing real-time information (breaking news June 4, 2026) through a channel that isn’t as restricted as JW.org. With their immediacy and global reach, social media platforms can make a real difference in raising awareness about how our brothers and sisters are being persecuted around the world simply because they refuse to renounce Jehovah and turn their backs on him. At the same time, we explain who we really are: the neighbor, the classmate, the local doctor, the journalist we might see on TV... May Jehovah therefore bless this project so that it may endure if that is His will!

The JW Pressroom verified badge is back on Instagram, but we’re still waiting for the same verified badge to appear on TikTok. It seems getting verified on TikTok takes longer and has tougher requirements compared to Instagram. On the bright side, reporting fake accounts is now easier than ever due to impersonation protection the official account have.

I also think that we will fairly soon look back and realise that we didn’t know it was that close

Actually, one purpose of a pilot program is to discover whether something should continue at all. We've had arrangements that became permanent, such as carts, JW Library, and LDC. We've also had arrangements that were modified or eventually replaced, such as the RBC arrangement, radio broadcasting, testimony cards, magazine routes, and even meeting formats. The success of a pilot isn't measured by whether it lasts forever. It's measured by whether it provides useful information. That's why judging a pilot before the results are in seems premature. The organization has a long history of testing arrangements, keeping what works, adjusting what needs adjustment, and discontinuing what doesn't. Let's not work against the prayers of the 'holy ones.' To express, you don't get it, is understandable. To not testify as Jehovah's 'witness,' is never a place the organization wants to be. I pray for their efforts. "Pray for us, for we trust we have an honest conscience." — Hebrews 13:18

I wonder where the chocolate Bro. @Dustparticle eats comes from—the kind that lets him predict even the name of the GB's brother. I want to eat some too.

You mean "Almighty Intelligence"? AIcts 1:7,8 😎  'He said to them: “It does not belong to you to know the codes or prompts that the Father has placed in his own administrative control. But you will receive power when the AI license is sent to you..."'

I am 91 years old this year!

I totally appreciated Br. Herd's concluding comments assuring the faithful older ones of Jehovah's and our love, and encouraging them to keep on doing their best - and he's leading by example. Well done!!

2026 GB Update #4 transcript

I share the links- I always, only do that. I know what copyrights are. Unfortunately, even sharing links sends some into a tizzy.. 😒 In this case, if something is on Instagram, I simply share that post. I believe that is also acceptable.

This i can't wait for, have had so many health scares lately and living with health problems and caring for my sons needs, I know we all face these things, but I wish I could have a little break where I can get used to something being there to endure before something else comes along......🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️

I partnered with a brother doing door-to-door last weekend. He is 98. I worked hard to keep up... It was 29C (84f) here in Honolulu. I still struggle with the humidity! RC this weekend. 1135 in attendance today. I counted 6 getting baptised.

European court has ruled in our favour https://bitterwinter.org/intese-strasbourg-condemns-italys-forty-year-exclusion-of-jehovahs-witnesses/

It seems like JW Library will have another overhaul to the UI. We’ll stay tuned.

World peace is most featured these days in our website.

Take some comfort in this: I know multiple Brothers who were and some who are still in China, and they have lots of bible studies with people there, despite the hidden/discreet nature of the ministry in China.

We lost important rights that are given to the other religious communities in Norway. How has this affected our brothers and sisters? One example is weddings. For the past four years or so, couples could not get married in the Kingdom Hall or have one of Jehovah’s Witnesses officiate their wedding. We were so happy that on April 30, 2026, the Supreme Court of Norway announced that the government’s actions were illegal when they took away our registration and revoked our rights.

Can he tell us more? When is the great tribulation? 🤣

We are now at 700K followers on Instagram and almost 120K followers on TikTok.

And a post would change that? People out in service want to tell me I don't believe in Jesus while I'm inviting them to a convention about Jesus

IT.IS.PHENOMENAL!! So modern and elegant. Very impressive! There was a 20 or so minute video production with expressions of love, appreciation and gratitude from many of the volunteers from all over Canada, and even words of praise and awe from worldly engineering consultants. It was mentioned that the amount of volunteer man hours would amount to over 10.5 million dollars if paid to secular contractors. And only about 1/3 of the volunteer labor were skilled workers, which in no way would be feasible on a secular project. But it shows what Jah's spirit can accomplish. Can't wait for our convention!😃

Just as I thought, vanilla update, just enough to catch breath before our RC in 3 weeks time. I’d be beyond my mental capacity for a „major” update. 😆😉😂

I'm not a Chocolate Prophet, yet I float into space at times (different galaxies) when I OD too. I have trillions of galaxies more to go. The life I go through. Don't have it!!!

Should be tomorrow and Herd will conduct it.

There are some who become Jehovah’s Witnesses while in the military. They have to go through a process to leave in order to be baptized and be official, but they could begin to identify as a witness before they are officially out. As part of the consciencious objector process, you are assigned a chaplain to verify the validity of your claim. My husband went through the process. He was no longer on active duty but was still part of the military and could have been called up. If he hadn’t of left when he did he would have been part of desert storm. It’s still odd in the sense there’s no JW chaplains in the military but I’m guessing that’s one of the reasons we got on the list.

When we started them in early 2000s (France was a testing field). Ho the memories.

Watchtower Library Update New Update Package: Update 2603

Fairly base-ic really.

I witnessed online again with the person in whose country jw.org is inaccessible, fully blocked. but guess what is not blocked: Instagram and TikTok! He was interested and I gave him the links to our socials. Hopefully it will help keep him connected to JW news, even if just in a small way.

I was in the field ministry today with a Pioneer sister who is 92. I won't be 80 until next year...😎

Or 2029, 2000 years after Jesus was anointed 😏 🤪

Would there even need to be an event? Does Jehovah need to wait on an event before putting his one thought into their hearts?

'In this update, we share encouraging reports about recent branch and shepherding visits. We also consider legal developments affecting our freedom of worship in Norway and Sweden." 👍🏻

It’s online. Hosted by Bro. Herd. https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=share&wtlocale=E&lank=docid-1112024061_1_VIDEO Overview:

That's how we can estimate the closeness of an Update. These 15 min Local needs

Since a lot of destructive protests in the US have been labelled "mostly peaceful" I'd say it's perfectly plausible they could declare peace and security while churches are burning in the background of the announcement.

How quick will that be? Would there be enough time during? How peaceful will the world be during the destruction of false religion? Destruction isn't peaceful. Nuclear weapons might be used. Thousands or millions of people might die. Would anyone sincerely say that would be a time of peace and security?

Br. Losch's "Temple" talk still isn't one of the study articles (through October)...sigh....

For those who may not be aware, updates and improvements have been made to the previously published article on JWPUBS about how to identify the official JW Pressroom accounts. It is now available in 15 different languages. The article is updated as needed based on changes to platform algorithms and account activity. Since platform algorithms continue to evolve and various fake or impersonation accounts have been appearing, the article is also updated to warn readers about accounts that were not established by the organization. https://www.jwpubs.org/articles/how-to-make-sure-you-are-following-the-official-jw-pressroom-account/

In the late 60's it was predicted that California would have a massive earthquake and fall into the ocean. The day it was predicted to happen, my brother and I were fishing on the end of the Huntington Beach pier in southern California...

The pleasure was all mine, my lovely Sofia.😘😘

I just logged into Instagram and we're already at jw_pressrom with 666,000 followers

We already have that (or tried that). it’s called JW Broadcasting for Roku/Fire/Apple TV you just press the shuffle button and it literally streams nonstop… do people forget we have this?? It’s been around since 2014

At least 35 people died and more than 200 were injured after the earthquake, the Associated Press reported. 😥

i actually do have this experience and found it to be unpredictable and dangerous and frightening. I would not recommend proceeding without doctors supervision.

Julie, I am very sorry to hear about your son's struggles. It is clear how much you love him and how deeply concerned you are for him. This may be one of those situations where it would be helpful to speak with your local elders (this alerts them to your practical needs & spiritual needs) and also seek out brothers or sisters who have medical or pharmaceutical training and are familiar with the circumstances. At this point, we do not really know enough about your son's condition, diagnosis, medications, or treatment plan to offer meaningful guidance. We can certainly pray for him and for your family. As Philippians 4:6, 7 reminds us, Jehovah hears our anxious concerns and can give us peace and strength while we seek the help that is needed. I hope you are able to find the assistance and support your son needs.

A lady yelled at me and slammed the door on me last year while inviting her to the memorial saying "she believed in Jesus", like okay....us too? Can you not read the paper ;_;

There already is a post about it on the website https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/beliefs-about-zionism/

I doomscroll regularly and every time a new video is posted, I share it with the public on Facebook. I believe our message is intended for ANYone who happens to see it. The information can certainly be interesting to anyone, even if they're not "government, journalists, or researchers". If I can help raise our visibility- in any way- I will do it. 😎

Im 47 people in the congregation tbought it would end in the 90s its 2026 now it could drag on for decades more ....i hope not but its Jehovahs time table not humans i see how bible prophecies are being fullfiled so its no doubt ...i said somerhing to.a brothet about 11 years ago out in service .i said it feels like it could happen at anytime but also it feels like it can drag on for decades and he agreeed its a marathon.
