  1. They're calling it the "Combatting Hate Act," as if it's actually going to curb hatred. Just watch: it won't work. It will take something much more forceful to eliminate hate.
  2. Yup. That's the one. Well, um... the new one has a DVD on it too. But I prefer this one...
  3. Actually, I prefer the old icon, if that's the one you were referring to. I think I'll leave it the way it is.
  4. No. It still says on jw.org that the latest update was February 3. I was going to ask the same question. What does it say in Help/About Watchtower Library...? Here's what mine says:
  5. Where did you find it? The latest update on jw.org is dated February 3, 2026.
  6. I remember seeing that new sign a couple of years ago. It's simply not "iconic" anymore, is it?
  7. Well, that freezing rain event I mentioned a couple of posts back didn't amount to much. At least it wasn't as bad as three years ago. The ice on the trees looks a lot thinner than it was then, so not heavy enough to break a huge amount of branches. Streets and sidewalks were very slippery yesterday, and traffic was almost completely absent from the downtown area of Montreal. Schools were all closed in anticipation of the freezing rain, and some of them are still closed today. Are you really interested in it? Read about it in Montreal's English-language newspaper.
  8. Right at this moment it's okay. But the forecast is telling us we've got freezing rain coming tomorrow, for about 24 hours. , this is not something I'm looking forward to! Is it going to be like it was almost three years ago?
  9. I remember seeing this story a couple of years ago. It must have been one of the earlier trials, which I suppose was appealed. It looks like the government didn't take the loss very well. It could be interpreted that way. When I first came to Quebec in 1987, there were still people alive at that time who had seen the persecution against Jehovah's Witnesses in the 1950s. Those opposers lost in The Supreme Court of Canada, and the Premier of Quebec was fined for trying to target us. I guess those ones left over in the 1980s wanted to continue where the others left off. Since then though, I think all that generation of opposers died off. But yes, this is another chapter. Not the same opposers, but the same persecution.
  10. We can't choose more than one? I wanted to choose Organizational Accomplishments too, along with Original Songs.
  11. Hi Sister Esther. That's an interesting idea. However, since this is an English-speaking website it might not be feasible. It may be beyond the technical capabilities of the present site to do so. I'm not a moderator. But if you'd like to try, write a suggestion to the moderators in the Confidential Talk forum. P.S.: Welcome to JWTalk.
  12. I have no idea how you do it, @humble bumble bee, but you go above and beyond what most of us would not even try to venture into! You are to be commended for the extra effort you go through to find out the roots of all these languages, dialects, and vernaculars, and the subtleties and nuances between them. I'm sure your abilities go beyond what we see in this topic, but I personally am humbled (Oops! That's your name!) by how much you seem to know about languages. Please, keep it up!
  13. I liked that part on the history of Circuit Overseers. I wonder if it's a coincidence that we have the Organizational Accomplishments video about Circuit Overseers. (?)

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    I was visited during a tract campaign in 1974. I spent the next 11 years studying on and off, with three different brothers, before finally accepting the fact that this is where I belong.

    If you can count the number of times you have prayed today, then you haven't prayed enough.

    The reasons some brothers and sisters give for not being at the meetings are the very reasons they should be there.

    We need to be at the meetings to "incite to love and fine works."—Hebrews 10:24. But how can you incite if you're not in sight?

    When one flees temptation, one should never leave a forwarding address.

    Never forget what Jehovah remembers, and never remember what Jehovah forgets.

    Life can be understood by looking back but it must be lived by looking ahead.

    If Satan keeps reminding you of your past, just remind him of his future.

    Man says, "Show me and I will trust you." Jehovah says, "TRUST ME AND I WILL SHOW YOU."

    Let the Mind of your Master be the Master of your mind.
