JWB May 2026 transcript

It’s true my brother. The sufferings are increasing and magnified each day among the friends I know. I feel like the start of the GT will be a relief because at least we’ll know for sure the time is super short until A day.

Lightsaber welding pioneers, Romulan witnesses... What next? 😂

I have to say, it wont hurt my feelings. When this is discussed to any depth, i start with the tears. But, whatever. We can trust jehovahʼs organization to handle it in the best way possible. We still have to somehow suffer through John the Baptist, and his untimely end. i canʼt fathom it. We know Jesus was and is real, but, he is so much more real, now. Somehow, we shall. But with what we have been given so far, i know it will be handled in the most discreet way possible. Jehovah will not give us more then we can bear. This I know. (Now we can read the gospels, and really picture whaŕt we are reading.)

I’ve been paying attention to the evolving situation regarding the cruise boat and the Hantavirus onboard… WHO has now confirmed today that it is in fact the Andes Virus, which isn’t good news at all Sadly some have died, and today someone who departed the boat previously presented at their GP in Zurich with symptoms and has been hospitalised 😪 It’s a rapidly changing situation and all news outlets are reporting on it… I’m not sure that the world has learnt anything from Covid etc let’s hope that they do get control of this but I’m not holding out much hope 🤷‍♀️ Yet another sign of scripture being fulfilled as we hurtle towards the end of this system.

Ohh I have thoughts. They would get slammed on the forum, and I just cant handle the mental battle of explaining myself. I will say this. Im a life long witness. My parents and grandparents were witnesses. Ive delt in a very real way with demons in the past. Never been involved in the occult. At all ! And I have a different view than most of my fellow witnesses when it comes to aliens. They are real. They are demons. Its as easy as that. Many people understanding may be different than mine. Thats ok. I know my life. Lol If ever there is some sort of Alien disclosure. While everyone freaks out , I would be like. MmmmmmmHmmmmnnn😂😂😂😂😂😅

You know that feeling that we’re losing the strength to keep fighting because of so many bad things happening? But then comes that sense of relief in knowing that Jehovah is taking care of everything. And we pray for the Kingdom to come soon, because it’s becoming very hard to endure.

I need new glasses, I thought you said Romulan...

Here is the second sentence in his talk. The section is titled...Are there only Anointed Christian in the spiritual temple?... "Here’s a question: True or false? Since in Bible times the temple arrangement was closely connected with the priests, today the ones in the spiritual temple are only the anointed Christians. Answer: false." A later section is entitled...Who serves in the spiritual temple?... "Next point: Do only the anointed serve in the spiritual temple? What do you think? No. The great crowd also serve in the temple. They are shown in vision at Revelation 7:15 as “rendering him [holy] service day and night [and then it says] in his temple.” So, what does that mean? They are included in this arrangement of worship. Revelation 7:15 says literally: “That is why they are before the throne of God, and they are rendering him sacred service day and night in his temple.” So the great crowd is “in [the] temple.” Then it continues: “And the One seated on the throne will spread his tent over them.” They do not need to be in heaven in order to be in his temple." We have not yet received any of the material from the 2025 Annual Meeting in print form in the Watchtower. So it can't be listed in the 'beliefs clarified' section of the Index. We have received the July 2026 Watchtower already so keep an eye peeled for August or September issues...♥️ NOTE: you can always go back over the printed transcript (or watch the video again). I have done both 3 times.

There is your answer. Jehovah would not allow it. Theref6, it's not worth worrying about. The theory assumes time travel to the past is possible. This is yet another limiting factor to the theory. Why worry about something that is likely not even possible. Further, knowing what we know about the future, what would the moral implications be? Why would someone from the new system willingly choose to come to the past and expose themselves to Satan's sick and twisted world? What would the moral implications be of seeking to immerse oneself into the filth of this system? Why bother traveling back in time when everyone from those past events has been resurrected? Want to meet Einstein or Gengis Khan or Noah? Just go next door and say hi. Yes, I know seeing the historical events is an attraction, but is that really worth all the effort? People who propose such theories have no knowledge about Jehovah, his Kingdom, his purpose for the Earth, or what the immediate future holds.

If they are all 1 hour videos, I suspect we will only get 2 per year. We got 3 this year but Episode 5 is only about 30 minutes. I only hope that I will see them all in my lifetime and that's going to take some doing.

"All pioneers may now carry lightsabers in the ministry." Going to watch it this Friday with some other single sisters.

Headshots: Left to Right: Thaddeus, Judas Iscariot, Simon the Cananaean, Thomas, Andrew, Peter, Nathaniel/Bartholomew, Philip, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus Brothers: John and James the sons of Zebedee

I think a great many things will become clear post Armageddon.

I don't know anything about a reptilian race, but there are a lot of cold blooded people that speak with a forked tongue...

This is the main part of our rear garden: There's a lot of maintenance required, and my wife does the greater part. She was still using a chainsaw at 81

Different characters, different stories. You can probably film them around each other. My thing is: What happens at the end of the Gospels? Jesus death is almost his defining moment, and it's brutal to watch. They're putting out advisories about the scenes with demon possessed people, and they got complaints about the 'fall of Jerusalem' being too graphic. It's possible they won't show the 'impalement' episodes at the convention.

For those of us with bad parents or no parents. I felt that in my heart. My perfect Jehovah has built more confidence in me in the last 3 years since I've returned than the first 40 years of my life with my real one. I've never been more put down and disregarded by my fleshly parents that I'm okay with Jehovah saying I'm a child in some capacity. Not that I'm anointed or anything special. I could be a dirt child for all I care. But Jehovah has showed he loves me more than my real one. I think of Matt 6:31-34, my Heavenly Father has given me everything I need. Mark 10:28,29 is true with that. Malachi 3:10 too. So, I'm okay with it, despite the understanding.

I was just talking to a brother whose son is in video services in the US. They are reducing staff and even discussing downsizing Ramapo - because they are able to use AI for so much of the artwork and videos. He was telling me that what used to take weeks is now taking days and with only a few people instead of a large staff. More and more are getting sent back into the field. They are even able reduce the number of people needed for acting out scenes. That is a lot of donated funds saved and more workers for the field. It won't surprise me if we see an update soon describing all the ways the GB has approved for AI usage. I know they will always have humans to review, edit and approve the final product; but most of our pictures and videos will be at least partially if not fully AI generated.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a technical solution we implemented in our Kingdom Hall regarding the internet connection. As you know, the instructions from the organization state that every Hall with internet access should have a Wi-Fi router with a password, which can be given to publishers who need it. A simple and effective solution. In our Hall, however, we went a step further. In addition to the password-protected Wi-Fi for internal use, we set up a second open Wi-Fi network — no password required — but restricted exclusively to jw.org. This means that anyone connecting to this network can browse the organization's website and also download content through the JW Library app, while all other sites and services are automatically blocked. The practical result is that during meetings or study groups, brothers and sisters can connect freely without having to ask for a password, and use both jw.org and JW Library without any restrictions, while the network remains fully protected from inappropriate use. Regarding the internal network, the password-protected Wi-Fi is set as a hidden network — meaning it does not appear in the list of available networks and can only be connected to by manually entering the network name. This adds an extra layer of security for internal use. This solution requires an OPNsense firewall (which can run on an old unused PC or inexpensive dedicated hardware), a managed switch, and a Wi-Fi access point. The setup involves two separate networks: a hidden, password-protected LAN for internal use, and a dedicated VLAN with DNS filtering that allows only jw.org and its CDN subdomains. I want to make it clear that this is not meant as an alternative to the instructions received — those should always be followed. It is simply an additional option for Halls that already have the necessary hardware and want to offer something more convenient and automated for the brothers. In our specific situation, when this solution was presented to the IT department at Bethel, we were told that it fully satisfied the conditions of the instructions — and was actually considered more precise. If anyone is interested in the technical details or would like to know how to replicate this setup, I am happy to share more information. I hope this can be helpful to someone!

There are different degrees of apostasy. We’re here not to judge who is within redemption and who isn’t. Satan was perfect, contemporary apostates are imperfect. GB acknowledges apostates can come back:

We won because Jehovah wanted it that way.

I loved the music video so much! The gorgeous romanian clothing and culture reminded me a lot of my grandparents Polish background. I'm a violinist and my children love music and animals so the puppy was a sweet touch. Can't wait to watch as a family.

Warning on this brothers, as documents begin to be released, it would be wise not to be too curious about spiritism. Just as we would not want to be curious about other activity they do, this is the same. It appears that it isn’t scifi but they actually have the capabilities to create and move objects. After all, we do have a couple examples of their power in the bible, Creating a serpent in front of pharaoh, a “star” after Jesus was born. No matter how crazy things get, we will not be misled, rather shows how close we are to the end

I know a brother who knows him. Seems pride got the better of him. Pride can get the better of even angels after all 🤨

Thanks Matt, The moderators will do our best to keep this as the NW Publisher topic and the other as the Baruch topic. It can be found here, if you are interested in an alternative:

If you go back to the 2022 beginning of the Special thread on the announcement of our beginning of filming in Australia, Br Tony (from Australia) said in Mary 2022... Posted May 25, 2022 "To answer some of the above questions. I'm sure it was mentioned in Sydney there are 18 (approx 55min) Episodes. It is a 7.5 year project. " 2022 = 7 1/2 years is 2029. The posting is on top of page 2

They're using our artwork! 😄🤨 Source: on X today, in reference to Donald Trump's golden statue of himself at his golf club..

🧬 Key facts Family: Hantaviridae Reservoir: Wild rodents—mainly the long-tailed pygmy rice rat Transmission: Breathing in aerosolized rodent urine, droppings, or saliva Touching contaminated surfaces and then mouth/nose Unlike most hantaviruses, Andes virus can spread person-to-person (rare but documented) Mortality can be 30–40% 🧪 Treatment No specific antiviral cure Supportive hospital care (oxygen, ICU support) is critical Early detection significantly improves survival

That's a nice clarification that we might see come through in due course. It reminds me of when we were 'reclassified' as domestics. It makes me feel acknowledged as being part of the family. I find it encouraging and heart warming. ❤️

That was mentioned in our former belief of a "spiritual Courtyard of the Gentiles". Continuing from the transcript... 2.6. Courtyard of the Gentiles But the various chambers and courtyards do not all have a symbolic meaning. For example, in Herod’s temple, there was a courtyard of the Gentiles. In Solomon’s nor in Zerubbabel’s temples there was not such a courtyard. Anyone could enter the Court of Gentiles in Herod’s temple. The Watchtower of 2002, May 1, page 30, gives five reasons why there is not “a spiritual equivalent, or an antitype, of the Court of Gentiles that existed in Jesus’ day.” It said: “Not all features of Herod’s temple have an antitype in Jehovah’s great spiritual temple.” But as the heavenly elder said to John, the great crowd really is in the temple, not outside the temple area in a kind of spiritual Court of the Gentiles.” 2.10. Application of temple depends on context …we all are in the spiritual temple no matter what hope we entertain,

Helicopter. Someone from the future wanted to see Jesus as a baby...

I think everyone will be surprised one way or another...

I've had one of those sleep tests - thought they would never quit attaching wires. Makes it a bit difficult to go to the restroom in the middle of the night

Friday, May 8 The heart of the wise one gives his mouth insight and adds persuasiveness to his speech.—Prov. 16:23. To be more effective as a teacher, brothers, base your public teaching and private counsel on God’s Word. Be a good student of the Bible and of our publications. (Prov. 15:28) As you study, take careful note of the proper application of the Scriptures. And when teaching, try hard to reach the heart of those in your audience. You can improve as a teacher if you ask for and apply suggestions from experienced elders. (1 Tim. 5:17) Elders need to be able to encourage their brothers and sisters; however, elders must at times counsel or even reprove them. In either case, elders must always be kind. If you are gentle and loving and you base your teaching on God’s Word, you will be effective because you will be imitating the Great Teacher, Jesu

Can someone please let us know if they release a trailer of the eps for the 2027 Convention this weekend, and tell us how many eps will be shown next year? My guess is we will have 2 Ep's at the 2027 Convention.

Just spent a couple of hours with my daughter and 2 granddaughters assembling this monstrosity—I don't think my daughter realized the dimensions when she ordered TWO of them (4'x8'x4'h). The height is great, but it's going to take a dump truck-load of compost to fill them and still have to assemble the second one (collective groan!) Instructions were practically non-existent, just a parts list and a couple of tiny diagrams you could hardly make out.

Since learning the Truth some 40 years ago I have always been bewildered and dumbfounded by the extreme efforts in the search for extraterrestrial life. Disclaimer: I used AI to help put my thoughts and feelings into words... Humanity spends billions of dollars scanning the cosmos for any sign of intelligent life beyond our planet, operating on the conviction that the universe is too vast for us to be alone. And yet, by their own definition, Jehovah God and the angels are exactly that: highly intelligent beings who exist outside of our world, who have communicated with humanity, and whose communication is preserved in the most widely distributed book in human history. The Bible is, by any honest definition, a message from extraterrestrial intelligence. And yet it is completely and utterly discounted by those who dedicate their life to searching for exactly what it contains. So here is the irony: the very people devoted to finding a signal from beyond Earth have one in their hands (or at least on their bookshelf), and they dismiss it without serious examination. Perhaps the real issue is not a lack of evidence. Could it be that a radio signal from a distant galaxy requires nothing from us, while the message we already have requires everything?

When do we get our lightsabers?

A Stargate! And I think Aarons priestly breastplate of judgement is actually the remote control device. Each stone sequence being a destination coordinate. Just part 1 in the introductory course on Conspiray Theory, easy! 😁😉😂

Five or six years. I can see a continuation right into the new system.

We got one episode the first year, then two episodes, and now three episodes in a single year. We have heard that episode 8 (and maybe 9) are well underway and nearing completion. So we might expect three video sections next year as well. If that was true, we would be halfway through the series in four years. If the kept up three per year, we could possibly finish in another three years after next. Starting in 2024, the total of 7 years would take us to2030. Originally the project was to be completed by 2029. So maybe it will.

The Christians featured in the clip are Romani/Gypsies, but it takes place in Romania.

Agreed... it has a snazzy little Django Reinhardt groove to it; a gypsy flavor I love. I sussed out the background was Romanian.. Very happy to hear a different style of music this month 🙌🏼

Hi, after the update, the field service reports are not arriving; they are not syncing when the brothers report them through the app. any suggetions?

I have to admit I stopped when he ( Bro Jedele ) said that we are his ( Jehovah's )children... We had the understanding before that once we pass the test after the 1000 years then we would be his children, not now in our imperfect state.... Now I'm wondering when did this change..... 🤔🤔

I'm pretty sure it won't have any thing to do with Star Wars....
