  1. I've been getting this all week. Didnt fall for it, but the bros & sis are. The code u relay to them is the code to reset your password. They enter your username in login screen, then click the "forgot password" button. If u give the code they enter it and instantly change your password. Then they go through your contacts and try it all over again, now using your account. Kinda fascinating, it seems like its running around JW's like a cold travels through your contacts.
  2. Im starting to wonder, could this NOT be 'it'? If this soon led to GT, would it be 'like a thief'? I guess the start of it all could be considered unexpected. But if this plays out over a number of months and results in p&s, will we be surprised? I guess the world would be surprised and maybe thats all that matters since we keep on the watch. But this just seems like 'an hour' that we WOULD 'think'. But what is considered an hour? I guess if this all ends in a few months it would feel like an hour in retrospect.
  3. If some of that stuff gets out of the labs, hold on. We could be seeing more prophesied pestilence 🤢
  4. Yes I agree with all that. I'm just saying they're always pushing and shoving and this is definitely different, but yeah, if this was some little country in the Congo, it might not be getting as much coverage. I know there's a lot more involved with Ukraine, being the bread basket of the world and all that kind of stuff besides strategic importance for both kings. There's no good way to bring up these kind of topics I guess. Its uneccessary. And that's why we don't get involved. Let the world have that divisiveness. We are one brotherhood no matter what race or ethnicity etc.
  5. We were watching the news the other night and I made a smart comment to my wife to that effect. 'Look at all the nice looking white families with their nice cars & houses and clothes and little white children. Is that why this is in the news?'. I am white but I wondered the same thing.
  6. Maybe Poland can give those migs to the UN to transfer to Ukraine. Get the ball rolling.
  7. Go bags... Does it seem like the friends consider them GT bags? At first i did. But i remember repeatedly hearing these are 'disaster' bags, not GT bags. But is the GT a disaster?
  8. I believe Russia could have done a lot more harm by now. If thats all they got, USA could outgun them easy. I do see their concern of NATO on every border. Also, I understand KOTN does what is prophesied. BUT would USA allow nukes in Cuba again? Who's perspective is correct?
  9. But they can't.. Russia would veto it. I posted a link to an article a few pages back that described a precedent for suspending a country from the UN. They've done it before with Africa during apartheid. Maybe they could do that. Also it's been talked about that Russia isn't technically a member. It was the USSR that was the member. Ukraine even brought that up during one of the UN meetings. Seems like an easy out, of course they won't take it.
  10. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/russias-role-un-under-scrutiny-as-ukraine-calls-security-council-status-removed?cmpid=prn_newsstand ..."Russia should be kicked off the UN Security Council," Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, said on Twitter. "The U.N. has become a complete joke and this might be a good first step to correcting that problem."... ..."I think that specialists in U.N. procedure are pretty skeptical that you can strip Russia of its U.N. membership," Richard Gowan, U.N. Director of the International Crisis Group, told Fox News in an interview, noting that Russia could kill the process "stone dead" with its veto. Gowan also said that even if it were possible, members should be careful about the consequences of throwing Russia out of the U.N. "There’s clearly a moral argument for doing that, it'd clearly be very satisfying as a political signal, but we should also consider that Russia on the outside of the U.N. might be even harder to talk to and even more resentful, making it potentially even more disruptive." ...”the possibility that Russia could theoretically be suspended of its membership by the General Assembly, where Russia does not hold a veto, similar to how South Africa was suspended in the 1970s over apartheid.”
  11. Wow its heating up. Getting chills. UK lady just said ”the world is calling for peace”, among numerous p&s. And everytime they mention the charter being violated, they are saying p&s is violated bc thats what the charter says, 'to maintain p&s'.
  12. I am scheduled to take the monoclonal antibodies tomorrow morning. It is day 3 after my first positive result, i was negative 4 days ago. I have zero symptoms. I don't know if it's just too early or maybe I'm not going to get sick? I was vaccinated. I'm just not sure about taking this treatment. I'm going to pray about it some more and keep reading but I'm getting conflicting information even from here. I may just cancel.
  13. I don't know if it contains those things that's what I'm worried about. I seem to remember reading something about plasma but I've read so much that I'm not sure. I just asked my dad and he says from what he understands it's totally synthetic which would be okay. Just want to make sure before I accept it. I read my wife's literature and the other thing that concerns me is that it's basically experimental and there's no guarantees and they don't know if there will be any ill effects sooner or later. I'm half tempted just to ride it out. I do have asthma and catch pneumonia and all that pretty easy. But I have a feeling I'm not going to get sick. I feel fine right now. My wife doesn't feel that bad but she's healthier than an ox (but not as big. Have to throw that disclaimer in there).
  14. Can somebody help me? I can't read through this whole forum. I've tried searching. I've been googling. I've looked through all of the literature that my service overseer has sent me about covid and I just can't find an answer and I'm tired. Is the antibody infusion, regeneron acceptable for witnesses? I'm just worried it might be made from blood or something I know it comes from other people. I think I read something about plasma. Does anyone know? My wife had the infusion yesterday but she's an unbeliever, and I just showed positive this morning so I'm weighing my options. I feel fine and I have been vaccinated. Thanks
  15. And think of how many could have died if the world hadn't taken precautions and lockdowns... What if they just continued as normal and denied it all? How many would have died?
  16. Me too! And i slept really hard. So did my wife. I mentioned it casually to my doc and she just rolled her eyes.
  17. Silly me! For some reason I was looking up 'who really RULES the world'... Which indeed does not have a PDF option.
  18. Yeah that's pretty much what I was doing but for the track that was trying to print out it doesn't give any options of file format. Only JWpub. Maybe that's why I can never remember how to print it out! I'm always trying to use the 'who really rules the world' tract. I will try a different tract and see how it goes. Thank you
  19. I can't find it with a search for tract pdf or similar... I know I've asked here before. But I'm having issues! I know it's something really simple. But when I'm going to jw.org all I can do is find the online version of tracts. I want a PDF or something I can print out to send in my letters. I ran out again. Thx
  20. Oh for sure, if our organization resumes door-to-door ministry, I will be there. I'm just speculating that this might be the end of the door to door. Meaning we might be wrapping up the sheep search w this letter writing. And if so then we might be sooo close to the end🤗. I don't want the ministry to go on forever. I mean I don't want anyone to be destroyed but I sure would like to be sitting in the new system right about now.
  21. Exactly. So how effective is door-to-door ministry anymore? That's why I could see this letter writing as our last sweep. Then BOOM!! GT.
  22. I think so too. I think we quit going door to door bc its time, we are done. The winds were held back long enough for us to finish. And besides the pandemic, the world was getting too bad to knock on doors. I was starting to get worried about door to door. It just seemed outdated. And now we are doing the final sifting, searching for any last sheep, letter writing everyone. How can we go back in the field? Even if the pandemic totally ended tomorrow, door knocking just feels taboo now days (to me anyway). I don't ever expect anyone to knock on my door unless they are invited over or its trouble knocking. And we are not in our halls anymore, we are zoom literate and off-grid. Things could deteriorate into the GT and we could just abandon our buildings and melt unnoticed into the background. Or maybe sell the buildings before GT. Either way we could go unnoticed during the attack on BTG since we aren't meeting publicly and aren't door2door. Yeah, i think this is ending at Armageddon too. Just my speculation.
  23. What if this thing is seasonal like the flu and we are just not seeing as many cases right now? I guess we will see how effective it is when fall/winter comes around. Im keeping my mask on. My 4 yo son is in quarantine now bc he was exposed at a camp my wife insisted on sending him to (non JW).
  24. Are they holy or something? I've thrown out plenty of old publications over the years. As a matter of fact I may only have less than 10 physical books these days. Why keep? Everything is digital. Yeah there's some old books from my childhood I wish I had kept. Oh, what about old cassette tapes? I threw those away a long time ago. Books are objects. I'm not a very sentimental guy i guess.
  25. Yes i understand that. What i mean is, now that the childrens vaccine is on the way, all of sudden, the sky is falling, kids are catching it easier and its worse. Yeah i realize it can be coincidence or just natural, but to someone like her, its a good time to start hyping it up....
