https://www.cnn.com/webview/2026/10/28/world/live-news/spain-train-crash-collision-intl?cid=android_app Deadly rail crash: Scores of people have been killed and around 100 injured after two Spanish trains — carrying about 500 passengers — collided south of Madrid, according to a local government official. CNN’s team on the ground in Toledo province observed a frantic scene amid a huge emergency response. I read that - The two trains were going the same direction but the one rear-ended the other and caused it to go off the tracks. It's sad to read about the deaths may Jehovah remember them all. I hope everyone else is okay - especially our brothers and sisters.

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.

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 ¶10-11

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"

Wednesday, October 28 We do have the mind of Christ.—1 Cor. 2:16. Jesus loved Jehovah with his whole mind. He knew God’s will for him and was determined to act in harmony with it, even though doing so would mean suffering for the sake of what was right. Being focused on doing his Father’s will, Jesus allowed nothing to distract him from that goal. Peter and his fellow apostles were privileged to spend time with Jesus and to learn firsthand how he thought. When Peter wrote his first inspired letter, he encouraged Christians to arm themselves with the same mental disposition as that of Christ. (1 Pet. 4:1) Peter used a military expression when he wrote: “Arm yourselves.” So if Christians imitate Jesus’ mental disposition, or way of thinking, they will be equipped with a powerful weapon in their war against sinful tendencies and against a world ruled by Satan.—2 Cor. 10:3-5; Eph. 6:12. w25.038-9 ¶1-3

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 ¶7-8

Yes, it's easy to go from, "there's so much evidence that humans can't rule themselves" to "why don't they just enact this obvious solution? If we could only get a common-sense person in office..."

I've been gaining a lot of weight, I gained like over 50 lbs this last year. I could tell I'm getting too big. I was in the bathroom on the scale. The wife was standing next to me, and I start sucking in my stomach. And she's like 'that's not gonna change the number.' And I was like I'm trying to seeee the numbers.

0–3 seconds: Inside a dark, rocky lions’ den, elderly Daniel, with white hair and a long white beard, crouches on the ground in fear. Several realistic lions slowly approach and sniff his face and clothes. Daniel trembles, leans backward, and looks terrified, his eyes wide and breathing nervous. 3–6 seconds: The lions suddenly notice a powerful angel standing behind Daniel. The angel has short white hair, a white beard, large white wings, and flowing white robes. The lions turn their heads toward the angel, their expressions changing from threatening to cautious. The angel stands calmly, protecting Daniel. 6–8 seconds: The lions slowly step backward, lower their heads, and retreat from Daniel without attacking him. Their tails move gently as they back away. Daniel watches in disbelief, his frightened expression beginning to change. 8–10 seconds: Daniel looks from the retreating lions toward the angel, his eyes wide with surprise and relief. He slowly realizes that the lions are not going to harm him. His expression shows astonishment and gratitude. Camera: Begin with a close-up of a lion sniffing Daniel, then show Daniel’s terrified face, followed by the lions noticing the angel and backing away. End with a close-up of Daniel’s surprised expression. Lighting and sound: Dim cave lighting with realistic sunlight streaming through the opening. Deep, dramatic orchestral music builds as the lions approach, then changes to majestic, peaceful music as the angel protects Daniel. Include subtle lion breathing, pawsteps on stone, and Daniel’s nervous breathing. Important: Daniel must look very old, with realistic wrinkles, white hair, and a long white beard. His fear and surprise must be clearly visible. The lions must look completely realistic, not cartoonish. The angel has short white hair and a white beard. The lions must look toward the angel before backing away. No attacks, no injuries, no sudden scene changes. Maintain consistent characters, clothing, and cave surroundings throughout the video.

I logged into jw.hub this morning and noticed we were given a delegate code. Most of the details for the convention are there with the exception of the accommodation list. We were not sent any notification when we were not selected back in 2024. I logged into jw.hub this morning and noticed we have been given a delegate code.

The brother who is working in the branch department for the international conventions….he is in our congregation …told us that we should know by Monday or Tuesday 2nd or 3rd November …

Specific political points? Yes. Overall? Politics continues to reaffirm the prophetic point that people will not be open to any agreement, slanderous, boastful. No matter which political party.

Monday, November 2 If any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him keep asking God, for he gives generously to all and without finding fault.—Jas. 1:5; ftn. As the words in today’s text indicate, Jehovah does not hoard his wisdom. He generously shares it with others. Notice, too, that when Jehovah gives wisdom, he does so “without reproaching,” or “without finding fault.” He never makes us feel bad for admitting that we need his guidance. Actually, he urges us to seek it. (Prov. 2:1-6) What about us? Can we imitate Jehovah by sharing our wisdom? (Ps. 32:8) Jehovah’s people have many opportunities to share what they have learned. For instance, we often train new ones in the ministry. Elders patiently help ministerial servants and baptized brothers to learn how to handle their assignments in the congregation. And those with experience in construction and maintenance help train less experienced ones to do work on theocratic facilities. w24.09 28-29 ¶11-12

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 19:32

I also heard that people should be finding out this month.

Jehovah said: " Now there is nothing that they may have in mind to do that will be impossible for them." 😉😄 VN20261101_090252.mp4

https://apnews.com/article/patrick-stewart-dies-8b38054ff74d4187a32158d78e345ad7 I learned about this from my kids. Always loved watching him work, particularly in the X-Men series.

There is a danger of becoming too focused on what is going on and potentially forming and sharing an opinion.

A real Christian looks like a Republican to the Democrat. They simultaneously look like a Democrat to a Republican. They look like a mysoginist to a feminist and at the same time a misandrist to a mens-right activist. They look like an individualist to collectivist and a collectivist to an individualist. A true Christian isn't a Zionist but Nazis despise them. They're also anti-Semitic to a Zionist Fanatics call them heretics and atheists call them fanatics. Why? Because every ideology and man-made philosophy on this earth is a perversion of one of God's characters. So there's some good in it.

As many governments are reminding/warning people about having 3/7/10 days of food. It's good to check our personal stock.

Yes, we Jehovah's people will surely notice this cry and we don't have a single reason to ignore it, even those inactives and removed ones will moved to go back to Jehovah's organization.

nazirite?

I didn't notice...the man had long hair...🫢

Recently, I saw this on my Facebook feed, though I didn’t read the full article because I’m not a subscriber, and it instantly made me think of being removed from the congregation. Sometimes, people are very harsh in their judgment and cut ties with immediate family over a comment they dislike. Rarely are they criticized for it. In our case, however, we follow a meticulous process designed to help the individual, where removal is really the last resort, yet we still face heavy criticism.

Wow you're good at this thing lol 🤣

How will they ever survive? True story: After our last power outage, we asked our neighbor how she was coping. She said fine but I'm a little hungry. I wanted to cook something but my gas stove wouldn't light. I turned it on but the clicky thing wouldn't work. I said - why didn't you use a match? She said - Oh! I couldn't do that, it's to dangerous! Anyone else with a survival story?

That is wonderful, Sister Sania. Thank you for sharing the video. I am a Visual person. Did you create these with AI? I am sure it took a long time, so thank you. Please share anything else with me, your sister from the US

Sounds more like prepare for disruption in power grid and supply chain, but ok. I think I have enough protein stored for 90 days, but that's all in the freezer. I don't know what I'd do if the power goes out.

Pauline, I'm sorry for your situation here. It probably is of no consolation to you but, there is not a witness that is struggling these days financially or, otherwise. Pay whats important first then see what follows. Call the companies and ask them for a "grace period"? Most companies will accept what you can pay rather then not get paid at all. You can pay in installments. Get rid of your credit cards if at all possible. Call credit card company and ask them to reduce the bill or tax on it if feasible. They also do help. They rather get something then nothing. Tell them what you can pay in installments for instance: $20.00 a month. But, they need you to communicate with them so they know what they are up against and most companies do make installment plans. As far as emotions go....sis.....welcome to Jehovah's organization. We are all anxious about these days and it most certainly can take a toll on us. Again, as we studied 2 weeks ago we are not fighting literally with humans but demons. We have "beat our swords into plowshears....." and so we are fighting demonic influences and spirits that we cannot see and are stronger then us, it can get exhausting. But, thats what our enemy wants, to get us tired and give up on Jehovah. Endure Pauline! You don't stand alone. Jehovah is with you. Pray that He may find you a way out of this or, deal with it in a calm manner. May Jehovah be with you.
