That's interesting that you posted this exactly the 10 years after the incident. The MH370 went missing exactly 10 years ago, on March 8, 2014. It's crazy to think how in this digital age, a jumbo sized commercial airplane housing tons of tracking devices, machineries, making communications with the surface, can just go missing off the radar without a trace.

The Library of Babel contains every piece of literature that has ever been, and ever will be. It also includes your very own post and my own (search through the search tab)!

It’s not rare to find two music that sounds similar to each other sometimes—especially if it’s just a part of the music. There is a limit to the number of possible musical arrangements that can sound harmonic to human ears. If it can happen between two secular music, it can happen to our theocratic music as well. For example, some people have suggested the similarities between If I Could Fly by Joe Satriani, and Viva La Vida by Coldplay. Examples like these show that such similarities are abdundant in the music industries, and are most likely unintended. As for the similarity between With Eyes of Faith and You Raise Me Up, I can hear the similarities, but I doubt someone was influenced by it, considering the origin of the music. I remember some time ago, we talked about other examples in the Theocratic Music thread. In that thread, I mentioned this particular example:

Reddit Apps do not give the option to send modmails on private subreddits. You can try visit the subreddit on desktop to access that feature.

Well, I can’t say for sure if that would be a good idea. The only way to find out would be to try actually implement it in your community. Thanksfully you can always change the settings later on. Perhaps another option that you could choose is the ‘restricted’ subreddit, where the public may browse the subreddit, but only approved users may submit. But I can easily see how this can also be abused. Reddit community types: public — anyone can view and submit restricted — anyone can view, but only some are approved to submit links private — only approved members can view and submit premium only — only reddit premium members can view and submit

If the subreddit is private, how would the new people go and join, or test if the subreddit is legitimate? Private subreddit in this context means, a subreddit that is completely closed off from the rest of the Internet. As for this website, some parts of the site is accessible to the World Wide Web. So it is easy to verify the genuity of the forum. But if your Reddit community is completely private, that would not be possible.

That is not the meaning of positive used in that sentence. The word positive can also mean assured, certain. positive 1 of 2 adjective pos·i·tive ˈpä-zə-tiv ˈpäz-tiv Synonyms of positive 1 a : formally laid down or imposed : PRESCRIBED positive laws b : expressed clearly or peremptorily her answer was a positive no c : fully assured : CONFIDENT positive it was her book https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/positively

Latin typeface for Noto Sans CJK uses Source Hans by Adobe. That may explain why there are differences in the fonts. See noto-fonts/noto-cjk #224. I don’t think that’s related to what we are discussing here though. If I am correct, the font typeface displayed in the blue field actually appears differently from device to device. Which means the exact font may be dependant on the device that you are using. For example, in my device, the character ‘2’ has right angle curve when curving in the bottom, but in your picture, it is curving in an angle less than 90 degrees.

You can still order older bound volumes. In Korea Branch, vol20 through vol23 in English are available for order.

It depends on what you mean by need I guess. As a book it is still a good resource for personal study and meditation in my opinion. The book is also not listed in the listed of items to be discarded for the literature servants. On the other hand, our method of preaching has now changed drastically. Rather than to "reason" with the householder, we try to find those who are "disposed" for everlasting life. On that sense, it may be said it is not "needed" anymore. Exactly. Many brothers seem to use Watchtowers or publications from older than 1980s, or even 1970s or even beyond just to support their opinions. However if some topic hasn't been said again the the last few years or so, I would be cautious in using it. I would personally go even further and I wouldn't even use articles older than 2000s. That is the now recommended year listed in the "list of items to be discarded." That year recommended by the branch has been constantly been updating very fast recently. Jehovah's chariot is moving very fast.

That’s interesting, I didn’t know about it. Thank you. For some reason though, I can’t find the song in the 1966 pink song book, “Singing and Accompanying.” I have all the songs but I couldn’t find there. That reminded me we had an old song 168. Recognising the Earth’s New King, which had the lyric, “Kiss the son, lest God be angry, and you perish in the way.”—Psalm 2:12. The older lyric is more faithful to the original Hebrew, but maybe it’s better to revise it so other people who do not know the Bible very well misunderstand its intended meaning.

I like the old song from the 1984 brown song book, 209. Follow the Warrior King! *** Ssb song 209 Follow the Warrior King! *** https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=1101984229&srctype=wol&srcid=share *** iam4 16 Song 209 *** https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=share&wtlocale=E&lank=pub-iam-4_16_AUDIO Too bad it's not in the current song book. Oh well! I can still listen to it and enjoy it personally.

I don't see any demons in that video. There are scientific and logical explanations for those "pentagon UFO videos" that doesn't involve supernatural answers. The video may as well be depicting mundane objects like a commercial airliner, a jet fighter, a balloon, a bird, or even a random debries flying in the air. We can accept those without involving demons. Chances are, the same is the case with this too.

I believe using bold in some parts is not bad. Even in our literature we can see boldface being used from time to time in certain words or even to sentences. On the other hands, colours or caps are never applied to run-in texts. They are only used for decoration in the headings, such as in the book titles or as part of the design of that book, but otherwise, the main texts would never have any special colours or caps applied.

These image and descriptions are called Open Graph meta tags, and they have to be inserted by the webpage owners. This means the Branch has purposefully inserted them, so I would interpret them being fine with the images displaying when we share the links. I would point out we are okay to share or send electronic files, images or videos through messaging apps. For example, the S-196 document provides a situation where sharing a video directly is useful: *** S-196 p. 2 par. 13 Using Enjoy Life Forever! in the Ministry *** 13. In some areas, using the Internet to stream or download videos may be costly or impractical. However, in most languages, an audio recording of each lesson in Enjoy Life Forever! is available in JW Library, which includes the audio portion of each video in the lesson. Streaming or downloading only the audio recording might adequately reduce Internet costs. Some publishers use a messaging app to send a video to their students, since this method often reduces the file size of the video and thus reduces the cost of accessing it on a device. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=1201196&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=26
