JWB Nov 2025 transcript

We have category 5 typhoon coming.

Personally, just like I've always felt that the door would not be shut to right hearted individuals when the GT starts, I've also always felt that it would be the destruction of false religion that would bring about the worldwide declaration of Peace and Security. Just think of the wealth that each country will be able to pocket once religion is gone - man has always associated wealth with security. Over and over again, false religion has proven to be a hinderance to real and lasting peace. Makes perfect sense to me that this P & S declaration could very well come after false religion is done away with. And if that is the case, this gives us even more reason to rejoice because the bible says that "sudden destruction" (perhaps of Satan's political system) will come afterwards - that to me indicates that we won't be enduring the GT for years upon years before Jehovah acts. It also makes sense to me that once Satan's religious system is thoroughly and completely destroyed - that is when he turns to attack us - his revenge will be immediate in order to wipe out Jehovah's people the way Jehovah wiped out his false religious system. It will be interesting to see how things unfold.

Just had a thought, I don't know how they plan to do it, but in a way to parallel the baptism scene when Jesus had quick flash of his heavenly past... It would be very emotional to have, like, at the stake scene, when he is nailed, for Jesus to have visions of all the people faces he is giving his life for, especially of the future up until Armageddon and the new world. During the hammering of the nail... Or the whole process before... And having the quick flashing of images just at the last breath, with a faint smile... He died for us. My goodness I can't finish this post 😭

This is a subject I've been meaning to discuss here for the past two weeks. I've been having a hard time finding non-slanted or non-religious news reports and haven't had the time to sift through the videos and reports, so I've been putting it off. There's a Nigerian brother who’s a former bethelite in my congregation that brought to my attention a few months ago that since 2009, many Islamic extremists have killed tens of thousands of people trying to serve Christ the best way they know how. Some reports say as many as 125,000 Nigerians have been slaughtered. Thousands of Churches have been burned and people are literally being killed for attending church. One man was asked to deny Christ and his hand was chopped off. What amazes me the most about all of this, is despite not knowing the cause of suffering and not having accurate knowledge, many Nigerians still hold fast to their faith and continue to go to church and try to follow Christ. The brother I mentioned sent me a video of a Nigerian politician standing in a mass grave full of dead bodies pleading in front of the camera begging the US or any other country to get involved. He was saying that despite governments denying that a genocide is taking place, the mass grave tells a different story. President Trump has recently spoken on the subject. Who knows if anything will be done about it, but what is taking place is sad and barbaric. Here's two video reports. It's the first is somewhat slanted and the second gets very slanted towards the end of the coverage, but it's coverage nonetheless.

Yes, something crazy could happen. Something crazy could always happen. Many of us, myself included, have always believed that something crazy needs to happen. It's refreshing to now understand that something crazy does not need to happen or that Jehovah's thought might be the crazy thing that happens. I find it encouraging that we no longer need to feel something crazy from a negative news point of view needs to happen to motivate the nations.

Update on my wife's health: we spent most of Friday evening in the emergency room. In the end, it was diverticulitis. And she was much dehydrated. She was down a quart so they topped her off. That alone and had her feeling much better. She's now on a course of antibiotics and antifungals.

We have our CO this week and in his talk this evening he made a point of mentioning that we will not get through the coming tribulation on our own and that we need each other and not to isolate ourselves He also made the point of being so close… I’m sure this is being repeated in all congregations

Thankyou for putting this up, Jack, we knew things were bad in Nigeria, as many have moved over here to the UK. I had not realised the level of cruelty and barbarism that is rife there. We pray for our brothers and sisters, but also for the other poor people of the land. We say 'Oh, Jehovah, let your kingdom come!'

We had our new CO first visit he focused on union we must stick together forgive and love eachothers he also sent groups of 4 to preach instead of 2

Bro. William, I have been meaning to thank you for your transcripts and the willingness to share. Most helpful. Thank you.

Woww! I never expected that the Original Song in this broadcast was going to be suitable for a choreographic arrangement when I saw the lyrics on the server in September! I still don't believe it! Do you want to know a secret? I shed a tear or two when I finally saw it. It was so touching to see it, and I'm happy with the song now that I can hear it. The song is called, Hearer of Prayer, and I have converted it to mp3 format for you. It is uploaded to my Music Collection in a zip file, along with the lyrics and the official thumbnail image that you'll eventually see on jw.org. Of course, my version of the song does not include the choreography, but you'll enjoy it anyway. If you do not have the link to my Music Collection, send me a PM.

US President Donald Trump said Saturday he has ordered the Defense Department to prepare for possible military action in Nigeria as he continues to accuse the nation of not doing enough to stem violence against Christians.In the lengthy message, Trump said the US “may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.”https://edition.cnn.com/2025/11/01/politics/trump-pentagon-nigeria-action

This is it! For me, the ministry is not only to preach . It is also an efficient way to bond with bros and sis.

1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God,e and one mediatorf between God and men,g a man, Christ Jesus," So in order to not give Mary praise that is only due the Christ they assign her the role that is...only given to the Christ. I hope everyone who has ever grumbled about an update in understanding realizes just how good we have it. Could you imagine the GB coming out with an update that directly and blatantly contradicts scripture?? The darkness grows for them every day.

And yet if I understand correctly.... Jehovah gives the nations his one thought to give their authority to the UN. That alone could be momentous enough for the nations to feel they have achieved an unprecedented level of peace and security. Their next idea to destroy false religion does not need to be the result of nuclear conflict, especially since such a conflict might be contrary to their notion of peace and security. Since we aren't a direct threat, the pause in the destruction might feel natural. It's understandable that people who lost their former religion will, out of jealousy, instigate the final attack on God's people.

Note the phrases referring to the nations handing over their power to the wild beast, it will happen with "startling suddenness, not a gradual shift"

if the proclamation takes place after the destruction of false religion, then the destruction Paul is talking about is Armageddon, not the great tribulation.

I asked my wife, "What's for dinner?" She said, "Nothing" I said, "I had that last night" She said, "I know I made enough for 2 nights."

In Matthew 24:29, Jesus states that it will occur immediately after the tribulation, so after the destruction of false religion, or during the respite. 29  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,fand the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.g We still do not know if this will be literal or not. It could very well be, since Luke’s account of Jesus’ words says people will be fainting from what they observe. I imagine, if it is literal, Jehovah’s intent won’t be to scare people, but to give stubborn ones a last-minute reason for repentance. What else would prove God’s existence and the need to repent than unexplained darkness and stars ‘falling’? In verse 30, Jesus says: Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,hand they will see the Son of mani coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.*j If it will be literal, it may be that the whole world is engulfed in darkness. “The sun will be dark when it rises” like Isaiah 13:10 says, only to be broken up by the radiant light of the “sign of the son of man.” That would be spectacular to see!

Another excellent reminder.

Another feast. Lovely seeing the Aussie input. Loved seeing the postcard congregation getting “jiggy with it” singing the kingdom song. I’m not sure I like Bro Jackson with his fuller beard. He looks a little like Burl Ives character in The Big Country. Also loved the morning worship and study of Obadiah. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

@New World Explorer & @jwhess, may Jehovah forgive you

Young Police Officer to elderly female driver: "Do you know why I pulled you over?" Driver: "No, I was going exactly the speed limit, 22 MPH." Officer: "Ma'am,that's not the speed limit, that's the route number. Driver: "My goodness, I thought I was being so careful." Officer: "Try to keep up with the speed limit, alright." Driver, "Thank you officer." Officer, "By the way, is everyone in the car OK?" Driver,

A woman returned home to find someone robbing it. She yelled, "Stop! Acts 2:38!" He stopped in his tracts. She called the police and explained what was going on. As the officer cuffed the man he asked, "Why did you just stand there? All the lady did was yell a Bible Verse." "Bible Verse?" said the burglar, "She said she had an Axe and two 38's"

Don't be surprised by sudden changes. Attack of false religions & peace and security may overlap. Im too busy to think about which is first or 2nd event. As long as this system will end, Im good with that.

To all: Over the past (4) years or so, I’ve enjoyed many interesting conversations on this forum. But after a lot of meditation, research, and prayer, I’ve come to the personal decision to permanently terminate my membership here, effective immediately. The reason(s) why are entirely personal; but it has nothing to do with anyone here, this website has had a good thing going on here for a long time now, and the mods have been cool; no knock on that at all. However, it’s time for me to move forward, on to the next chapter in life. With that said, maybe I’ll meet some of you in person someday, and we’ll have some fun together. One of my favorite hobbies, is meeting other friends from different congregations, and other parts of the world, and learning their cultures. To an extent, this website has allowed me to talk to friends whom I would otherwise have been unable to meet. In any case, I wish you all the best, and may Jehovah bless you all! Your brother, Elijah

The Genocide now is caused by the Herdsmen who insist on practicing open grazing.the Herdsmen are Muslims so the federal government which is predominantly Muslim is protecting the them despite clear evidence of destruction of people's farms,pillaging of villages and massacre of innocent civilians who are mainly Christendom. So it seems like the religious crisis has taken a new form now 😔

A woman was found guilty in traffic court and when asked for her occupation she said she was a school teacher. The Judge rose from the bench. "Madam, I have waited years for a school teacher to appear before this court." He smiled with delight. Now sit down at the table and write,

The WT is already printed and those with a connection to a branch which prints them might already have a copy. For example when we visited the German Branch we picked up the WT which came online about 3 weeks later.........

I guess Ukraine was a bad example. I just noticed over the years I’ve been in the truth that some of the friends don’t seem to have much sympathy when some ethnic groups are victims of atrocities, police brutality, injustice as opposed to when others are. I remember when Katrina happened some of the friends were criticizing some of the people of New Orleans who were affected by the storm because they didn’t leave, as if that was an option. I’ve heard so many similar comments and have seen other ethnic groups get more sympathy for similar sufferings, including online and it always bothered me. I’m sorry I caused a stir. My intent of this thread was to highlight the suffering taking place in Nigeria and comment on their remarkable faith despite not being a part of our brotherhood, since this is the section for secular news.

That sounds an awful lot like a Rodney Dangerfield one-liner similar to this: "I told my wife I was going to take her to dinner somewhere she had never been before, and then I showed her the kitchen."

Wow… Your tone is very insensitive and inconsiderate. You’re also jumping to conclusions. I'm not “overly influenced by news coming out of the US president.” I've known about what's going on in Nigeria for about a year now. Most of the reports I've been hearing is from a trusted brother in my congregation who still has family in Nigeria and he forwards me information they send them about what's going on there. He is a brother who's served at Bethel, did translation work, and has been an elder for many years. I trust he would give me accurate information. Donald Trump has nothing to do with my feelings on this matter. I only decided to make the thread when he mentioned it because I felt it was a good time to discuss it after putting it off so long. I barely even watch the news or read news reports. I probably spend 30 minutes doing so every 2 weeks. To be frank, I notice there's less sympathy for African atrocities than ones taking place in places like Ukraine or other European countries. I expect that from the world, but it's very discouraging to see the same callousness from some of the friends, which is part of the reason I was reluctant to post about this because I expected such comments or lack thereof. But I do appreciate that the majority of the friends who I’ve spoken to about this, including in this thread, have expressed sympathy for all the suffering taking place there.

And every 3 seconds a human dies from hunger. This would be easily preventable if the rich countries (including the US) all opened they borders to humans who are suffering. I’m not sure what you want us to do other than pray. But remember we’ve been given instruction not to focus on negative news as it can sap your spirit? I believe you may be overly influenced by the news coming out of the US president (and a lot of it isn’t even true, or is half-truths) we all need to be careful with our media intake

I just don’t think anything has to happen apart from Jehovah putting the thought into the hearts of those governing that they should turn their power over to the UN.

Best music video ever! ❤️❤️❤️ Beautiful. And British Bethel. Moved me to tears the clip where they were cleaning up the soil, and that the wildlife came back ❤️❤️❤️ What gifts we receive from Jehovah ❤️ I admit I was a little bit disappointed when I realized it was not going to be from the Annual Meeting. But WOW! WOW! WOW! I rejoice! ❤️

It’s understandable to feel strongly on this sensitive matter. Sadly, no human government can solve any of these problems 😔 Let’s keep praying for Jehovah’s kingdom to come soon 🙏…

It's online. It's 132 And It's not Gilead graduation.

Dear Bros and Sisters Just wanted to share something encouraging. on Friday (31st Oct) I attended the funeral of a dear sister (69) who I knew when I was growing up and who sadly passed away from cancer 3 weeks ago. The sister was originally from Jamaica and as a child followed her parents over to England as part of the ‘Windrush’ generation when she was only 10. She was the only witness in her immediate family and got baptised at 15 - was a pioneer for many years. The sister has several siblings local to her (Birmingham UK) and other family members- (I think including another sibling) in Jamaica. We had a lovely talk at the KH and then later at the crematorium her daughter gave one of several eulogies. During her daughter’s Eulogy she referred to their family in Jamaica and confirmed that they were listening in on internet link. It was mentioned by the brother giving the memorial talk that some of the family were near the worst affected areas of the hurricane (st Elizabeth I think). I was just amazed by this and so grateful that at such a difficult time for the family both in terms of loss of their dear one and personal calamity, they were able to hear the beautiful memorial talk and eulogies and receive the comfort from scriptures. All praise to Jehovah💕🙏

At the point that I wake in the morning, I am sure that my intelligence is artificial. However, after breakfast, the previously dormant neurons start to kick into action.

They can always show his face, show a flash of the hammer being raised, go back to his face (all in slow motion), and have narration describing it. Or have the camera on the people watching it/ hiding their faces while the narration describes it.

I have no idea how they're going to do the Death scenes. People were calling in to the Society to complain that the fall of Jerusalem was too brutal. Passion of the Christ had to get an Adults Only Rating because it was too realistic, with regards to Whipping and Scourging. How is the Society going to do it?

Hello friends, I noticed there is a lot of interest in obtaining transcripts for the videos posted on JW.ORG. So I am working on an Android app to easily obtain those and perform a variety of related actions. I plan to release it in the Play Store, but I will need some beta-testers who are willing to install the app and give their opinions/criticism/suggestions/etc. If you are interested, please send me a PRIVATE MESSAGE with the email you use to log into the Play Store on your device(s). Again, please don't put your email here. Private message

This Friday 7th will be 6 weeks since last Update #6, or maybe next week. Perhaps more time will be needed if there is news in the update coming from Jamaica about how our brothers and sisters are coping since Hurricane Melissa and the Relief Efforts being organised.

The recent take by the Pope about Mary is making some Mariolaters angry. Ha !

Our CO is visiting also this week. He said that we need to become a strong family. To focus on the positives of our brothers because we need each other as we get closer to the end.

Sunday, November 2 Let us not sleep on as the rest do, but let us stay awake and keep our senses.—1 Thess. 5:6. Love is essential to stay awake and keep our senses. (Matt. 22:37-39) Love for God helps us to endure in preaching despite any trouble this might bring on us. (2 Tim. 1:7, 8) Because our love extends to those who do not share our faith, we keep preaching, even witnessing by telephone and by letter. We do not give up hope that one day our neighbors will change and begin to do what is right. (Ezek. 18:27, 28) Our love of neighbor includes fellow Christians. We show such love by “encouraging one another and building one another up.” (1 Thess. 5:11) Like soldiers serving side by side in combat, we encourage one another. We would never knowingly hurt our brothers and sisters or repay injury for injury. (1 Thess. 5:13, 15) We also show our love by respecting the brothers who are presiding over the congregation.—1 Thess. 5:12. w23.06 10 ¶6; 11 ¶10-11

It always starts with Jehovah’s judgment executed on false religion, which will be quick and sudden and PS can be overlapping event (justification where nations are saying..we need to do this to have PS is one eventuality and there is more possible scenarios ) The Bible does not say about PS a lot .. there are still some aspects that we do not understand, therefore only patience on our part will eventually lead us to see it with our own eyes .. and then we will say … Ah…. So that’s how the prophecy is being fulfilled.
