JWB Nov 2026 transcript

“Brother Turner was working on timing, …”

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.

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!

It’s already up!

I don't know all of Sis Lett's disabilities, but as a caretaker to a spouse things may change. The romantic feelings that you had earlier while dating and in the marriage may have disappeared. You love them but not the same. You are devoted and take care of them but the feelings shift, I think that's natural. My mother takes care of my dad who had a stroke. He's not the same man as he was. He doesn't communicate like he used to, he spends a lot of time just focused on tv. But she takes care of him. She's devoted. His response to her when she is affectionate is not even the same. I personally am glad that Bro. Lett has found someone. I don't think it diminishes the love he had/has for his wife.

"Go on Tim...don't be afraid: Just SAY it." "Okay...okay..." Swallows hard, takes a deep breath...steels myself. Then forces the words out through clenched teeth: "I'm alone...I'm all alone...and I'm scared." "Keep going...get it all out." "I...I am tired of being by myself. I'm...I'm so TIRED of coming home to an empty house...of no longer being able to hear her laughter fill the house...I'm tired of the utter silence. I just want to go to sleep...I don't want to be awake without her. The silence is deafening...everything I do is meaningless and hollow without her by my side." This, my dear friends...was a very real conversation I had with my therapist last week. Is it true? Yes...and no. It's how I FEEL...but it's also not the truth. Jehovah is right by my side...I can feel him there...next to me...sitting beside me through my grief. My brothers and sisters are there...all I have to do is let them in...allow them to share my pain. But it feels cruel to do so...because I keep bringing up the same wound...the same gaping hole that cannot be filled right now. I keep beating them over the head with the same facts...the same issue over and over again...how long until they get sick of hearing about it...how long until they get sick of hearing from...me? I KNOW the answer...but allowing my brain to convince my heart...that's a whole separate issue. I approached a brother after that session with my new therapist...and he listened quietly as I shared how it went. After I had emptied myself out...after I had fallen into a miserable silence...the brother asked me to take my Bible and open to an account where Jehovah had to deal with something very similar...and that's why I'm writing this post...to share his point with all of you... so that anyone who might be having similar feelings may be able to get a tiny bit of comfort from this dear brothers wisdom. Haggai 2: 2-4: "Please ask Ze·rubʹba·bel son of She·alʹti·el, the governor of Judah, and Joshua son of Je·hozʹa·dak, the high priest, and the rest of the people: 3 ‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it not seem like nothing in comparison?’ 4 “‘But now be strong, Ze·rubʹba·bel,’ declares Jehovah, ‘and be strong, Joshua son of Je·hozʹa·dak, the high priest.’ “‘And be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares Jehovah, ‘and work.’ “‘For I am with you,’ declares Jehovah of armies." The setting? The Israelites were celebrating the Festival of Booths, the brother told me Here they are...staring at the new temple...and Jehovah KNEW what they were thinking...but did he tell them they were wrong? Did he put them down for standing there gazing at what some of them, (especially the older Israelites), felt was a pathetic comparison to Solomon's temple? No...but he DID force their private thoughts out into the open...and he did it by simply saying it OUT LOUD. WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?? We are told over and over again not to compare ourselves to others, or even to compare past versions of ourself. So why would Jehovah TELL them to actually look back, to actually compare Solomon's Temple with what was sitting in front of them right now? The brother told me that by doing so, Jehovah broke the power that such thoughts had in their minds if it would have stayed private. The brother compared it to a doctor asking you where it hurts and then poking the spot you identify...you have to identify where the pain is actually coming from. Jehovah allowed their heads to turn backwards one time...before directing them forward once more. My therapist broke a few things down to me last week just by asking me some very simple questions and allowing me to answer: it's not like I didn't KNOW them...of course I knew that I came home to an empty house, of course I KNEW about the thousand Little things that didn't seem important when she was here but now have turned into tiny needles that poke me repeatedly every time I step into our house. But I had never sent those things OUT LOUD...and even though I didn't know why it made a difference...it did. The brother pointed out that, just as Jehovah wasn't asking the Israelites to choose which temple they liked better, he's not asking me to choose which version of my life I prefer...or which version I was the happiest in. The Israelites already KNEW what they preferred...just as I'm painfully aware of which version of my own life I prefer. Jehovah holds the ultimate answer for that part anyway...that wasn't the point. The brother also pointed out that the festival of booths would have reminded them that at one point, their ancestors had no permanent home at all...and yet Jehovah was still with them. The brother said the Jehovah isn't asking me to PROVE to him that the life I have now...that this life FEELS as good as the life I had when my wife was here. He's using this therapist to force me to say aloud all the things I've kept inside...and then, as he did with the Israelites...he's immediately redirecting my gaze back towards him. He's saying: "YES, Tim...I KNOW what yesterday looked like...but now...I'm here...I'm with you...and I need you to focus on what we can build together right now...until I can bring you and your wife back together forever!" For anyone needing this message...for anyone who can understand how that FEELS...may Jehovah continue to bless you...and may he give you the strength to say the things you need to say...out loud.

Beautiful Sister. I read somewhere that people who were very happy in their previous marriages are the ones who remarry the fastest, to rediscover that happiness. Whether it's true or not, it's a private, intimate matter. May Jehovah bless them!

Abraham got remarried, too! If that's the case : we send our best wishes to this very dear Brother !❤️

That is astounding. That man is 50,000 years old... 🙄😒😂😮‍💨

Tomorrow!

My group and I were just selected for London! So excited. My first time as a delegate

We have been accepted for Brisbane, Australia.. We booked already the Hotel and Flights etc We're so happy

I know it's not sinful, but the idea that I could devote decades of my life to someone and be replaced in a year is so devastating...

I miss news about the filming of this series 🤭

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.

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.

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…

We have been accepted for Seattle. We applied for Marseille no.1 choice then Seattle no.2 choice. We would have preferred Europe but we do love USA. Friends are currently road tripping across the USA before the San Diego convention. We plan on doing a couple of road trips ourselves.

... is only a day away....

I don’t understand all the negative comments and gossiping here, especially about one of Christ’s brothers and anointed co-rulers. A little more respect, please.

I am married to my best friend. We have a wonderful relationship and I love him dearly. I have told him and I sincerely hope that if I should "go" first, he finds someone special and gets married! I hate the thought of him being alone. No doubt Br Lett and his former wife also had these discussions. I am thrilled he found a 'another' special someone to share his life. 😍

After you ate, you had peace and security, then you felt a great tribulation that ended with armageddon 🤣 We are back on topic! 🤣

I liked the part about refining but I was distracted that he was looking at the hot metal without a face shield or safety glasses 😱 Where's your PPE???? 🤣

I stumbled upon a really cool site called Radio Garden. It allows you to listen to radio broadcasts all over the world. Im currently listening to a Jazz station in Quebec CKRL 89.1. if you want to listen its at http://radio.garden . As with all entertainment in the world, use your judgement as what to listen to.

I couldn't uploaded it here..The file is more than 48 mb.. I've uploaded it in YouTube. https://youtube.com/shorts/lfpNND4_mIE?si=P8tMZaN1VvHAvUdf

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

Calm down Annie 😂😂

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.

Best wishes to all. These are difficult times.

Note to self, don't eat taco bell before boarding Ryan Air flights to Europe....

I absolutely LOVED the first theme. I love libraries so to me, the illustration of which 'book' Jehovah focuses on ... ❤️ And which book I choose to focus on, in my own 'library', and in other's.

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.

Br. Schwenning: "If you’ll excuse me, I’m going back to work, and there’s plenty more to do." Sooooo cute! 😍

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.

What a beautiful morning worship! 😥 Mark Sanderson: Deliverance Is Near (Luke 21:28) https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/VODPgmEvtMorningWorship/pub-jwbvod26_39_VIDEO

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

Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

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 …

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..."

This time Aaron performed the Miracle..😉 VN20261030_083720.mp4

I will mention again the case of the brother I referred to earlier—Brother Fred Wilson, who was a missionary and a member of the Branch Committee. His first wife (who passed away) left a letter for him, suggesting that he look up a particular sister who had been a Bible student of theirs while they were serving as missionaries in Chile. Some time after her death, this brother was away from Bethel for about two weeks. He returned from a trip to Chile already married to this sister, who at the time was serving as a special pioneer. I believe this remarriage was very good for him; it was quite evident. In my opinion, he likely lived about 10 years longer than he would have had he not remarried.

Aaron and Moses: Part 3 😊 Untitled 2026-11-04 17.17.23.mp4

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 ¶3-5

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

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.
