*DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS* _Greetings to you all, my dear brothers and sisters. Hopefully we are all doing well under Jehovah’s loving care._ *Truly* , _the times we are living in are not easy. The pressures of these “critical times hard to deal with” can weigh heavily on many. 2 Tim. 3:1_ _But how comforting it is to know that we are not alone. We belong to a loving spiritual family._ _The Bible reminds us at Hebrews 10:24, 25 that we should “consider one another so as to incite to love and fine works… encouraging one another.” Now more than ever, our brothers and sisters need to feel that love and support._ _Sometimes, a simple message — “How are you doing?” — can mean so much. A short phone call, a visit, or even sitting beside someone quietly at the Kingdom Hall can strengthen a heart that is tired. As 1 Thessalonians 5:11 says: “Keep encouraging one another and building one another up.”_ _Let us remember that some may be fighting silent battles — health challenges, financial pressure, family problems, or emotional stress. We may not see their struggles, but Jehovah sees them. And he can use us to be a source of comfort._ *Isaiah 41:10* _assures us: “Do not be afraid, for I am with you… I will really help you._ _When we remind our brothers and sisters of Jehovah’s promises, we strengthen their faith and our own as well._ _Dear brothers and sisters, let us:_ *Check on one another regularly* *Speak kindly and listen patiently* *Pray for one another* *Be quick to forgive and slow to judge* _A congregation filled with encouragement is a strong congregation. Even a small act of kindness can Make a big difference._ _May Jehovah continue to bless our efforts to love one another deeply from the heart. Let us keep holding on — the best days are ahead of us._ *With warm Christian love* .♥️

We are in contact with a brother and his 12 year old daughter. This was from sunday morning: --------------------------------- We had changed our plans to leave Jalisco and spend our last two months in Cozumel. We would have been in a very awkward situation as we had to move residences anyway by the end of the month. We would have been in a pickle but Jehovah would have taken care of us. My daughter begged me to take her back to Cozumel and for some reason I said “ok let’s go” and originally planned to leave next week but for some reason I chose to leave a week earlier than planned. We missed it all by one day. Everything was calm when we left but Jalisco State is a mess. Roadblocks by the cartel throughout the state. The US State Dept named these hot zones: “The U.S. Embassy in Mexico City has instructed citizens in Jalisco State (including Puerto Vallarta, Chapala, and Guadalajara), Tamaulipas, Michoacán, Guerrero and Nuevo León to shelter in place until further notice.” Chapala is where we were and it was totally calm when we left. 6 states are affected but it has affected a number of neighbouring states as well. This is much bigger than the war in Sinaloa in recent times as Guadalajara is the 2nd biggest city in Mexico with about 10 million people in the greater area. That’s just one city so you can imagine how many of our brothers are being affected. It goes to show you how quickly things can change. Just last Thursday I started a Bible study in Guadalajara with a Mexican American guy named Isaac and we were walking free and safely in Guadalajara. Then just a few days later the entire city is on lockdown. Things in this system can change in an instant of time and we should never be complacent. ------------------------------------------- end of note.

Yes. To put things simply : Depression is past oriented. Anxiety is future oriented. Good thing Jehovah is present with us

Wow, we are already on page 500 of 500. Congratulations to all the participants of this topic, now may your Kingdom come. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍🎉🩵🌹

"Never for a moment have I doubted Jehovah's love...I just kept searching for EVIDENCE that the pain would go away." Those are deep strong words coming from a servant of Jehovah...especially when you consider the fact that we HAVE Jehovah...and the world has nothing to cling onto...except lies and meaningless drivel designed to occupy their brain until they die. Who said those words? I did. Why did I say them? Because I misunderstood a facet of a scripture we've read a thousand times over my lifetime: 2 Corinthians 1:3,4: "Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God." I didn’t realize how much I was waiting for something to change...before I let myself feel comforted. And that made me stop and ask myself something uncomfortable: When did relief become the way I measured Jehovah’s nearness? As I read Paul’s words...“the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation”...I noticed how quickly my mind jumped ahead. Ahead to the outcome. Ahead to the moment when the pressure would finally just lift...and just GO AWAY!! But Paul didn’t say Jehovah comforts us after the tribulation. He said Jehovah comforts us in it. So I had to ask myself: Have I been reading this verse as a promise of results…instead of what it mainly is...a promise of his presence? Have I been waiting for proof that the pain would end, instead of noticing that I was still standing? If Jehovah were truly absent, would I even be enduring at all? The Greek word Paul uses for “comfort” is paráklēsis...a word Jehovah's people know very well...a word that that means to be called alongside. Not to fix from a distance. Not to remove the weight immediately. But to come close enough to share the space. That realization shifted a lot of smaller little things for me personally. Because suddenly the question wasn’t, “Why hasn’t Jehovah taken this away yet?” It became, “What if Jehovah has been here the entire time...and I was just focused on results too much to even notice him?” Paul says Jehovah gives us the courage and strength to bear up. And that made me wonder: What if mere day to day survival isn't just somehow staggering along...but actual evidence of his presence by itself? In other words: What if endurance itself is the comfort I’ve been overlooking? What if Jehovah’s way of proving his care for me isn’t by changing the situation...but by refusing to leave me alone inside it? The September 2008 Watchtower states that Jehovah does not necessarily make our problems or pain disappear...but he DOES fortifiy us to cope with them. And for the first time, that didn’t sound like a lesser comfort. It sounded like a deeper one. https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/wp20080901/The-God-of-All-Comfort/ Because if Jehovah were TRULY distant, endurance would feel empty. If he had TRULY stepped away, courage wouldn’t keep showing up. If he weren’t in the room, the weight would be unbearable...if his holy spirit wasn't continuing to give me the power beyond what is normal...Tim simply couldn't survive...SPIRITUALLY! So maybe the real question isn’t why the pain is still here...and why hasn't it gone away? Maybe it’s this: When did I start believing that comfort had to look like proof...instead of presence?

Our headline is on point, with no time wasted War In The Middle East - What Does the Bible Say? Does the War in the Middle East Fulfill Prophesy? Will Armageddon Begin in the Middle East?

Millions who are alive today, for example in 2026, will never die; hope continues.

Since Ken Godburn (a helper) was the official host and we had 2 consecutive programs (January and February) filled with GB speakers...I am a little confused as to which person will host and conduct the program in March. We lost our pattern of a helper one month followed by a GB member the next. I would love to hear from Br. David Splane tomorrow but I have no idea. Maybe the content will be directed by the activities of the next month. We have the Special Talk and the Memorial soon. I could not even guess about the music video or postcard location...♥️

Jehovah knows how to save people of godly devotion out of trial. 2peter2:9 We are at the last of the last days... Lets pray for one another.

I had a friend and a brother from Iran, nearly 17 years ago and we used to attend meetings and assemblies together and took our baptism together, in a country in the middle East. After parting ways, we still used to occasionally contact each other maybe once every 2 years or so. I had sent him an email sometime ago and for the first time, i haven't received any reply 🥺 so far. I pray that my brother is safe and sound and so are the brothers and sisters over there. They were a very kind and friendly bunch! I also got to know about some sisters in Iran through him. Now I'm so worried about them all. Praying 🙏

That's what comes to mind.

This close to the end of the last days it is more important than ever for us to look to the faithful slave that Jesus is directing to "feed" us / give us the appropriate direction that comes from Jesus through their hands (July 2013 Watchtower). This means when we come to prophetic Bible passages we must look to them for that "food." In regards to Daniel 8, we have nothing newer than their explanation in the Daniel prophecy book - especially chapter 10). We can look at par 17: This is not Donald Trump. Daniel says that this king (Britain) would keep "getting greater all the way to the army of the heavens,". He did in the form of the anglo-american world power. Dan 8:13&14 have been fulfilled over 80 years ago during WW2 - (see that same chapter 10, but par 24 of the Daniel Prophecy book). We know that's accurate because that prophecy said after that king with grandious words does his thing "the holy place will certainly be brought into its right condition." That "holy place" or the condition of Jehovah's people (His Witnesses) has been right -especially since 1944. This is all that remains to be done of that prophecy at Daniel 8: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1101999029#h=39 Stick close to Jehovah by sticking close to His appointed representatives on earth. Have your thoughts and teachings in harmony with theirs. Anything other than that is to be out of harmony with the One who appointed them.

Everyone died and some went to heaven and the rest will be resurrected on earth. Did Jehovah loose someone?

Bro John Ekrann is the host.

I expect it to be by the end of March, to prepare our heart with the Memorial

Pakistan is bombing Afghanistan (Taliban). Pakistan Defense Minister saying "Our cup of patience has overflowed, now it is open war between us and you". They share a 1600 mile border. USA and Israel may attack Iran at any moment. India has said they are "forever friends" with Israel. Russia gives Iran tacit support. Whatever happens may be a jolt to the toothless UN.

It wouldn't surprise me if our film production wins awards such as NRB Media Awards, The Telly Awards and so forth. The Photo Drama of Creation came out 13 years before The Jazz Singer. But, the Jazz Singer is credited with being the first "talkie". It's only a technological distinction. Photo Drama used synchronized sound and color moving pictures, whereas Jazz Singer used audio printed directly on the film. However, Photo Drama was the first to use color, it was 8 hours long and viewed by 9,000,000 people; an astronomical number for the era.

Unless I am totally off-base, the March edition of JW Broadcasting will be online sometime tomorrow. We're all done with the Annual Meeting segments, and there are no Gilead classes that have graduated recently. So that means we'll be back to our normal monthly broadcast... presumably. So what else can we presume? Who will be the host? What will be the overriding theme? What will the music video be about? Does anyone have any predictions?

I hope so, but who knows. There has been so many big events occurring in the last 5 years, covid, Ukraine russia war, Gaza war the list goes on, yet this old system marches on, i feel we are in 66 ce 4 years before the fall of Jerusalem. Where there were so many events happening at the same time, Geoffrey Jackson gave a talk "Be alert, be decisive" 2022 annual meeting, so many good points, i mainly really like it because i love history.

Ask when the first episode will be released 🙈

I'm keeping this around. A sister in my Cong is really sad and depressed recently, feeling that everyday goes wrong. We preached in the same car today and she was speaking about her wait for Armageddon... Or her own death. She is 40 years old. Basically hoping everyday that she is going to wake up in Paradise. Poor sister... I'm praying a lot for her. We will do a SC soon.

Wow! The TREASURES FROM GOD'S WORD for this week is spot on. 1. “Do Not Be Afraid” (10 min.) Jehovah would raise up “someone from the sunrise” who would cause people to tremble (Isa 41:2, 5; ip-2 20 ¶10) Jehovah’s worshippers would not need to be afraid (Isa 41:10; ijwbv article 5 ¶4-7) Jehovah would help them (Isa 41:13) FOR MEDITATION: How does the prophecy in Isaiah chapter 41 benefit Christians today?—w16.07 18 ¶4-5.

This is our Kingdom Hall here in Rizal Philippines.

Israel says it launched pre-emptive attack against Iran https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-says-it-launched-pre-emptive-attack-against-iran-2026-02-28/ Witnesses say more explosions rock Iran’s capital, Tehran https://apnews.com/article/iran-us-explosion-tehran-c2f11247d8a66e36929266f2c557a54c Something to watch out for if this is the end of diplomacy.

Thank you dear brother Venlo, your concern for our spiritual family is deeply appreciated. We always need encouragement and support which Jehovah is providing at the right time by means of the friendship from fellow worshippers.

When I saw this I said oh they are going to do series based on the book of acts. Everyone thought I was crazy lol. Interestingly the brother who played Paul in that snippet gave a talk at my convention.

Notice the phrase “thinks he is standing.” The danger is not instability. The danger is perceived stability. We begin to measure strength by recent performance. A temptation resisted. 'I changed the channel! Not going to watch that.' A reaction controlled. 'Traffic no longer frustrates me.' A season of calm. 'My wife and I are so much closer. Our marriage is tight. Nothing can ruin this' None of those are wrong. In fact, they are evidences of growth. But growth can quietly mutate into self-trust. A structure can appear firm when no wind is blowing. The absence of visible stress is not proof of anchoring. Foundations are tested by pressure, not by stillness. We may feel steady simply because circumstances have been favorable. Remove the pressure, and stability can be mistaken for maturity. The most reliable footing is not confidence in progress; it is humility in the present. Standing shows itself not by yesterday’s victories, but by today’s reliance.

Why is Paul always portrayed as a bald man while the rest of the apostles have a lot of hair? I know 2 Corinthians 10:10 For they say: “His letters are weighty and forceful, but his presence in person is weak and his speech contemptible.” SOURCE ARTICLE BELLOW: The Apostle Paul’s Appearance Why do Jehovah’s Witnesses depict the apostle Paul as being bald or having little hair? [...] “As to Paul’s personal appearance: . . . In the ‘Acts of Paul and Thecla,’ . . . written about A. D. 150, there is a description of Paul which is probably the best, and a true tradition. In this he is described as ‘small in size, bald-headed, bandy-legged, well built, with eyebrows meeting; rather long nosed.’” [NOTE: For copyright reasons please do not copy whole articles, much less with images.]

The music video in this month's broadcast shows a brother's reliance on Jehovah as he is held in captivity. It's a powerful reminder that Jehovah never leaves us completely alone during dark times. It's called I'll Wait on Jehovah, and I have converted it to mp3 format while we wait for the official audio version. It's in an archive of the same title in my Music Collection on OneDrive, along with the lyrics, and the official image that will be used on jw.org. If you need the link to my Music Collection, send me a PM.

I am so worried. I assume that the brothers and sisters living in Iran are and have been preparing, possibly for some time , no doubt they have already received guidance from the congregations. And yet we must not forget those under difficult circumstances anywhere else. In a congregation near me, there was a sister who is now being deported back to Russia. Please remember her in your prayers, Jehovah knows who it is.

We are all going to be affected.. ill buy stock food as much as I can now. 1 sack of rice for 3months Sugar Salt Oil Fish sauce

Monday, March 2 I will be a guest in your tent forever.—Ps. 61:4. When we enter into a dedicated relationship with Jehovah, we become guests in his figurative tent. We enjoy an abundance of spiritual food and the companionship of others who have also become Jehovah’s guests. His figurative tent is not confined to a particular location. It can be found wherever his obedient worshippers happen to be. (Rev. 21:3) What about faithful ones who have died? Can we reasonably conclude that they are still guests in Jehovah’s tent? Yes! Why can we say that? Because such ones are alive in Jehovah’s memory. Jesus explained: “That the dead are raised up, even Moses made known in the account about the thornbush, when he calls Jehovah ‘the God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob.’ He is a God, not of the dead, but of the living, for they are all living to him.”—Luke 20:37, 38. w24.06 3 ¶6-7

However, the Bible makes clear that no political leader, human government, or group of people can end war and bring lasting peace. Only God is able to bring “an end to wars throughout the earth.”—Psalm 46:9.

Jehovah will fulfill prophecy, not a nation, its leader or its people. We know whom to address our prayers to and about. War is cruel and results in murder of people, historians and private citizens, alike. I have heard this is expected to result in the loss of life from attackers and those attacked.

KEEP ON THE WATCH! An End to Hate Crimes What does the Bible say? https://www.jw.org/en/library/series/more-topics/an-end-to-hate-crimes/

It's called the present because every day is a gift from above 🥰

Friday, February 27 Discernment will safeguard you.—Prov. 2:11. David told his son Solomon that he would be successful only as long as he obeyed Jehovah God. Sadly, later in life Solomon turned to other gods. Jehovah withdrew his favor, and Solomon lost the wisdom to govern in righteousness and justice. (1 Ki. 11:9, 10; 12:4) What is the lesson for us? Obedience leads to success. (Ps. 1:1-3) Of course, Jehovah has not promised to give us the riches and the glory of Solomon. But if we obey our God, he will give us wisdom that will enable us to make sound decisions. (Prov. 2:6, 7; Jas. 1:5) His principles can guide us in such practical matters as employment, education, entertainment, and money. Applying godly wisdom will protect us from lasting harm. (Prov. 2:10, 11) We will cultivate strong friendships. And we will have the guidance we need for a happy family life. w24.11 10-11 ¶11-12

You know that feeling when everything seems calm, but suddenly you start having thoughts that something bad is going to happen? Is that anxiety?

Yes, I think this may be a common reaction. A problem we have is that we know someone powerful, almighty who can end our pain. So we ask the Almighty to please make our suffering go away. But if nothing changes, then… “Why hasn’t Jehovah taken this away yet?” But right now, Jehovah is not the God of “all removal” (of suffering). Why? Because we know that greater issues are involved during this “universal court case” still on going. So instead, a Witness must view Jehovah in 1 of His roles during this “landmark court case”. His role is the “God of all comfort who comforts (me) in all (my) trials” How does our loving and active Father “comfort” us during our trials?  “When anxieties overwhelmed me, You comforted and soothed me.” (Psalm 94:19) “He heals the brokenhearted; he binds up their wounds.” (PS. 147:3) What does Jehovah want us to know from these inspired words? That He, our loving Father, “binds up our wounds” both during and after the trial. Our Father soothes and he “heals” us both during and after the pain/suffering. Therefore… we don’t need to see the end of a trial to feel Jehovah’s comfort. we don’t need our pain to end to know that Jehovah cares about us! Instead… “feel” Jehovah’s comfort during your trial. “sense” Jehovah soothing you during the suffering. “appreciate” Jehovah’s healing you during your pain. How do I feel, sense, and appreciate Jehovah during my suffering? By taking notice of everything little thing and big thing He sends you: Holy Spirit, “a word spoken at the right time—how good it is!”, a dear friend, elders, help from others, His soothing promises in the Bible, and much more!

Just when I thought I had it all figured out...a very kind, very loving sister reminded me that I was wrong. Four scriptures...four scriptural thoughts...and I was left in utter awe...staring at the pages of my Bible as if I'd never seen them before. And here I sit now, my Bible open...my notes on those four simple well known verses staring up at me from the torn piece of an old cheese order form where I'd hurriedly jotted them down last week. Even now, as I sit staring at my computer screen at 4:35 am...my steaming mug of coffee close at hand...I cannot help but replay those very embarrassing moments in my head over and over again. You see...I was in the middle of telling her and her husband about some recent challenges I've been facing when I saw her face scrunch up in sudden distaste. Immediately I stopped talking...fearing that something I had said had offended her in some way...and indeed...it had. Her husband, sensing the awkward moment...rushed in to save me...picking up the conversation and thanking me for sharing my experience with them. He was in the midst of saying that they should get going, having a scheduled doctor's appointment that same afternoon...when his wife suddenly stepped forward and, out of nowhere...gave me the biggest hardest hug I think I've ever experienced from a sister. Stepping back, she wiped away hot tears that had suddenly sprung into her eyes and REALLY looked at me...suddenly no longer offended, not even upset...but deeply concerned. And then she said something so simple, so quiet, that it stopped me cold...and THAT'S why I'm writing this post. “You know Tim, I love your experiences...I really do. But sometimes we forget who’s really doing the holding.” I nodded. I smiled. I thanked her. But inside, I felt exposed...not because I’d said something wrong, but because I’d said something incomplete. I had been telling a story about Jehovah...without fully letting Jehovah speak for himself. And my offense? Taking credit for something Jehovah had allowed me to do...I said that we just had to keep going...keep pushing along even if we felt like giving up...because WE needed to stay strong. "Can...can I tell you something? It's something I learned from my own personal studies, and from our family worship nights." She said, taking her husbands hand and gripping it tightly as he too suddenly looked like he might cry. Now a bit stunned, I nodded and assured her that I would love to hear her thoughts...but I never expected what came out of her mouth next: “I’m being held. I can’t be pulled away. I’m not alone in the pain. And the One carrying me won’t get tired of holding me...ever." I'm not joking, after those words left her mouth...they both started crying...right there in the hall. You see, friends...I had no idea that this dear couple had lost both of their children years ago in a tragic car accident...and I had no idea that one of them was a cancer survivor. I had no idea that they had endured so much...or that they talked about it so little, except to each other. And please believe me when I say that when those words left her lips...I could see her husband mouthing them with her...like a mantra. They explained that after the death of their two sons, two elders had came over for a shepherding call...and one of the brothers had given them four verses and suggested that they research them together...as a couple. She went on, “We were encouraged to use the online library to look for articles surrounding them...and even to look up the words behind them. The Hebrew. The Greek. Not to "learn more"...but to really understand how Jehovah was already caring for us.” Then she reached into her purse and pulled out a small, worn notebook. The corners were bent. The pages soft. Clearly it had seen a lot of use. “These are the verses,” she said, turning to a page with four verses written in faded red ink. “And these are the words that really helped us through a lot of tough times.” And then she shared them. Not as spiritual points. Not as explanations. Just as the most personal of gifts that they had to share. Here are the verses...and here are the four words and their personal thoughts on each: Isaiah 41:10 "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness." (Tamak.) To support, sustain or uphold. We had read Isaiah 41:10 countless times. But we had never noticed the word behind “hold on to you" until the brother had shared the idea of it on this shepherding call. Suddenly, we realized...we weren’t just clinging to Jehovah. He has been holding us up the whole time. John 10:28 "I give them everlasting life, and they will by no means ever be destroyed, and no one will snatch them out of my hand." (Harpazō) Jesus said no one could snatch us out of Jehovah’s hand. The word he used meant to tear away violently. And when we thought of all the moments we'd felt like we were slipping…we realized none of them had the force or the ability to pull us away from Jehovah. Isaiah 63:9 "During all their distress it was distressing to him. And his own personal messenger saved them. In his love and compassion he repurchased them, And he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old." (Tsar) When Isaiah said Jehovah felt their distress, the word meant tight, pressed in, overwhelmed...it meant empathy...not just sympathy. We had always prayed to Jehovah in those moments...never REALLY realizing he was already there, feeling it with us. Matthew 11:29 "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for yourselves." (Praus) Jesus described himself as mild tempered...meek...or even gentle in that single word. It represents strength under complete control...power that never resents the weight it carries. All the times we've asked Jehovah: Am I too much? Have I leaned on him too long? Will Jehovah get tired of carrying me? The simple answer is: Of course not! Because the One who carries us WANTS to...he is love, and love never grows weary of holding what it cherishes. And so here I sit...coffee gone cold, Bible still open, those four verses staring back at me like old friends I’m only now beginning to understand. Foolish pathetic little Tim...here I thought I had been telling a story about endurance...a story that would encourage them. Turns out, they encouraged me...because now here I sit...whispering those same words: “I’m being held. I can’t be pulled away. I’m not alone in the pain. And the One carrying me won’t get tired of holding me...ever."

Job lost his 10 children, and Jehovah did not resurrect them at that time. Do you think Job missed them every day while waiting for Jehovah to resurrect them through Jesus in the future? David lost many sons. When Absalom died, he cried: David paced the floor of the roof chamber, crying: "My son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! O that I might have died, I myself, instead of you, Absalom, my son, my son!" Before David died, he was always sick in bed, and Jehovah did not cure him at that time. Why do you think Jehovah will take away his pain now? He promises that in the future, if you trust in him, he will eliminate all the pains you have today. But it is necessary to fight every day. Psalms 37:28,29 For Jehovah loves justice, And he will not abandon his loyal ones. They will always be guarded; But the descendants of the wicked will be done away with.   The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it. Revelation 21:3, 4: The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Hebrews 10:35-39 Therefore, do not throw away your boldness, which will be richly rewarded. For you need endurance so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the fulfillment of the promise. For yet “a very little while,” and “the one who is coming will arrive and will not delay." “But my righteous one will live by reason of faith,” and “if he shrinks back, I have no pleasure in him.” Now we are not the sort who shrink back to destruction, but the sort who have faith for the preserving of our lives.

Wednesday, February 25 Let the one who thinks he is standing beware that he does not fall.—1 Cor. 10:12. Likely, we can rid ourselves completely of some imperfect tendencies. But we might find that other inclinations continue to give us trouble. Consider the case of the apostle Peter. He gave in to fear of man when he denied Jesus three times. (Matt. 26:69-75) Peter seemed to have overcome that fear when he gave a bold witness before the Sanhedrin. (Acts 5:27-29) However, some years later, “fearing those of the circumcised class,” he temporarily stopped eating with Gentile Christians. (Gal. 2:11, 12) Peter’s fear had returned. Perhaps he was never completely free of it. We might find ourselves in a similar situation. However, we can resist a persistent tendency by following Jesus’ counsel to “keep on the watch.” (Matt. 26:41) Even when you feel strong, continue to avoid situations that can lead to temptation. Keep applying the strategies that brought you success.—2 Pet. 3:14. w24.07 18-19 ¶17-19

I'm pretty sure this will be the focus of the Ramapo centre. But with these new big screens, they can actually be out filming the background scenes even now. Then scenes could be produced anywhere there is a 'Big' screen (currently 3 I know of.) I am not expecting this new project to be in any way dependant of the current project. It will have it's own timetable. In the 'old days', we were known for our printing prowess. I am wondering if this will move to AV production. How exciting. For the 'AoA' Series, Mt Nebo could be a good place to start. I'm sure it will be a 'fresh' crew. imho Either way - I'll be happy if I'm still alive to see some of the episodes. Hence, the sooner the better. lol
