  1. More then you care to know Dhanyel....more then you care to know. The entire association is feeling the effects of this old system of things, feelings we had never felt in the past. Not even in 1975. Today the air is heavy and suffocating. My husband has cancer and for the next 6 weeks we travel every day for radiation - Mondays through Friday. I keep him up beat and strong. I do not show him my feelings. But......when he goes to sleep I pour out my heart to Jehovah. Another elder has cancer but, worst then my husband. We continue with our ministry, meetings and our bible studys. My husband's bible student is a surgeon so, he makes sure that my husband is well taken care of and answers our questions about my husband's situation. I studied with his wife for years and this Dr. finally came in. He wants to go over the baptism study😲. Hmmmm.....we thlnk he wants to get baptized along with his wife. We will find out today what the gist is when we get back from the clinic. His study is this afternoon. Stay strong Dhanyel...we are all in this together. Continue to pray for one anther. Jehovah is listening. This will all be over soon.

  2. https://spaceweather.com https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/g4-severe-watch-effect-12-november Is it wrong to pray for clear skies? A G4 doesn't happen everyday and I fully intend to "Stand still and show (myself) attentive to the wonderful works of God." --Job 37:14 (NWT prior to the 2013 revision) Or, if the clouds block the show here, I will be sitting still and "considering carefully" Jehovah's wonderful strobe light show LIVE on YouTube...somewhere.

  4. Much love to you and your husband sis. My sister is in your place and her husband will start another round of treatments next week. Jehovah sees our struggles. He alone gives us the comfort during these last days. I'd love to know how the study turns out.

  10. My heart goes out with you. Some of my zealous friends really feel the weight of this system including me. And those are disadvantages of getting old in this system - cancer. Honestly, im tired of hearing some jw friends getting sick and sleeping in death... Those arent easy to deal with. How long oh Jehovah? May Jehovah give you strength you need.

  12. Sometimes I think about living in a quieter place, far from the city center. I’m not the only one who feels this way. In the end, the truth is that we all want to live in the new world. There’s no escaping it — we’re all so tired of this system. It's just a thought.

    A good joke

    A woman goes to the doctor looking fantastic: hair and makeup done by a professional, Gucci heels, Versace dress and a Prada purse. The doctor asks, "What seems to be the problem?" She tells the doctor, "I've been stung by a nasty insect of some kind ... but I'm ashamed to tell you where." "It's okay," says the doctor. "Our communication is privileged; I won't tell anyone." "Okay," says the woman.

  16. I can see the Northern Lights here in central texas. Very beautiful! It looks to the naked eye like a big fire to the north. As the night progresses they have gotten brighter. A camera picks up more details, this is a picture my sister in law took at our little town. Again...to the naked eyes it doesn't look like this , but it is a fuzzy red. The camera adds the details of what earth is experiencing....

    Genocide in Nigeria

    Jesus Christ set a wonderful example of compassion, despite the fact that the people who surrounded him were not his disciples. And when he got nearby, he viewed the city and wept over it, saying: “If you, even you, had discerned on this day the things having to do with peace—but now they have been hidden from your eyes. Because the days will come upon you when your enemies will build around you a fortification of pointed stakes and will encircle you and besiege you from every side. They will dash you and your children within you to the ground, and they will not leave a stone upon a stone in you, because you did not discern the time of your being inspected.”—Luke 19:41-44. *** w22 January pp. 16-17 par. 12 Lessons We Can Learn From Jesus’ Tears *** 12 Jehovah cares about people. Jesus’ tears remind us of how much Jehovah cares about people. “He does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.” (2 Pet. 3:9) Today we show that we love our neighbors by persevering in our self-sacrificing efforts to touch their heart with the good news.—Matt. 22:39.d https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=2022244&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=19 Jody Jedele: Imitate Jehovah’s Impartiality (Jas. 3:17) https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=share&wtlocale=E&lank=pub-jwbvod25_42_VIDEO

  27. So funny! It reminds me of a meme I saw 16 years ago that showed a except from a text group thread between Jesus and his 12 disciples. Jesus : Shortly one of you will betray me. Peter; Even if I have to die with you, I will by no means disown you.” Judas Iscariot has left the chat. This visual was so powerful to me I reflect on it at least weekly and pray I never succumb to fear of man. I think the ability for a funny joke really brings me home the lesson with humor then leaves a serious concern in its wake. Thanks for this one. Someday soon..

  30. The BBC is just state propaganda. I'm here in the UK and I see it on a daily basis. When I look at it now I think "Hmmm what do they want the masses to do? Let's see where they are leading everyone" Then there's "Alt media" - which I think is often just another way to lead people. For instance, if the BBC intended to cause division with it's Trump editing, then the division created two groups, right? Those horrified by Mr Trumps [edited] "words", and those in agreement. Both groups need leading. BBC leads one group, alt 'sensationalist' media leads the other (guns a blazin') All that follow either group without asking to see the receipts of their claims are utter fools. They are like the person in Proverbs 18:13 "When anyone replies to a matter before he hears the facts, It is foolish and humiliating" There are some alternative news outlets that bring the receipts. 'UK Column news' in the UK is one such outlet. After every broadcast and article they post a long list of sources for you to check there "working out". Even then the receipts they bring are 'facts' but their conclusions may be flawed, because they are humans with there own flawed perspectives. I do think they show more integrity and honesty than most, though. PS: If any of you do have a look at UK Column news, read the receipts before passing judgement. Passing judgement without doing that would be like the guy in the Proverb again

  31. The mainstream media has been losing ground to alt-media so they copy their style while alt-media sees mainstream media gaining ground so they copy their new style so mainstream media changes to be more like alt-media so alt-media adjust to seem more like mainstream media so ....... It should not be a surprise that the news is skewed by the professionals as well as the amateurs and YouTubers ... they are all after the same thing - RATINGS .... truth, accuracy and credibility no longer matter as long as they can get views

  35. This is what I think will happen. The destruction of Babylon the Great is described in Revelation chapters 17 and 18. According to Bible prophecy, the sequence of events is as follows: 1. The Destruction of Babylon the Great Comes First. The political powers (symbolized by a "wild beast" in Revelation) that once supported false religion will turn on it and destroy it. (Revelation 17:16-17) This is a dramatic act of God's judgment that stuns the world. 2. The Cry of "Peace and Security!" Follows. The destruction of false religion will be seen by the political leaders as removing a major source of division and conflict. They will likely hail this event as a new dawn for humanity, believing that with a unified world under their control and without religious strife, they have finally achieved "peace and security." 3. Then, "Sudden Destruction" on the Entire World System. It is at this very moment, when the political powers are taking credit and the world is celebrating its supposed new era of peace, that Jesus Christ will lead the armies of heaven in destroying the entire wicked system of mankind, including those very political powers, at the war of Armageddon. (Revelation 19:11-21) In Summary: According to the Bible's prophetic timeline, the destruction of Babylon the Great (false religion) comes first. This event will then trigger the cry of "Peace and Security!" from the world's political leaders. That cry is the final, unmistakable sign that "sudden destruction" from God, Armageddon, is immediately at hand. This understanding is a powerful reason for us to remain spiritually awake and separate from the world's false religious and political systems. We know that true and lasting peace will not come from human rulers, but only from God's Kingdom under Christ, which will soon rule over the earth. (Daniel 2:44)

    2026 convention spoilers

    This is true. I know of a few congregations in London who also heard this week that they are assigned to Twickenham. Twickenham has been a historic location as regards conventions in Britain. The last convention at Twickenham was the international convention in 2014.

    Genocide in Nigeria

    Thanks for highlighting yet another evidence that we are truly in "the last days". I don't like youtube reports on news events. There is no way to test the truthfulness of what is contained in them, and we have received excellent guidance on protecting ourselves emotionally from such sensational propaganda: https://www.jw.org/en/library/series/more-topics/conspiracy-theories-misinformation/ If it matters spiritually, the news section on jw.org will contain verified reports on what is effecting our brotherhood. However, this is not to overlook or minimise the shameful conduct that is exhibited by those hypocritical religionists and political activists in so many parts of the world including Nigeria. We need to continously be aware that Satan will use any means possible engage us emotionally in worldly conflict. Our compassion and sense of justice are outraged, as they should be, when we hear detail of such matters. But we need to be on guard. Humans never evaluate effectively when emotionally aroused. They can start adopting the sensational language if they feel others do not share their feelings sufficiently on matters, ("genocide" for example). This then has a divisive effect, not least on our Christian unity, because it creates conflicting emotions and questions. Raise the subject of the Uyghurs, or the Rohingya for example. We feel saddened, outraged, should we do something about it?, should we know more?, or does it compromise neutrality? do we really care? etc., etc. Look how Lot was affected. He was: "greatly distressed by the lawless people" of his day. 2Pet.2:7. We do not focus our attention on individual conflicts, other than to see how they confirm our faith. Where our fellow Christians are directly impacted we of course take a more focussed interest, but we can be sure that the GB will let us know how we can help, not hinder or make conditions worse for, our fellow worshippers. Even in such matters Peters words (1Pet.4:12-14) are very helpful: "Beloved ones, do not be surprised about the fiery trials that you are experiencing, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 On the contrary, go on rejoicing over the extent to which you are sharers in the sufferings of the Christ, so that you may rejoice and be overjoyed also during the revelation of his glory. 14 If you are being reproached for the name of Christ, you are happy, because the spirit of glory, yes, the spirit of God, is resting upon you."
