  1. Interesting the campaign that we are doing.. Happenstance I think not.. Special Campaign During September 2025, Jehovah’s Witnesses are making a worldwide effort to share the Bible’s answers to the following questions: Why have mankind’s efforts to end war failed? How can you be sure that true peace is possible and will soon become a reality? We are distributing this article and the magazine that it is a part of in over 450 languages. As part of this campaign, we are also presenting a special public talk around the world on the theme:
  2. This topic has stirred a lot of emotion … this section is a public section .. we are not the echo chamber for whatever “news” agency. So I will be closing this topic for awhile.
  3. This topic has gone completely off the rails … STOP.. I have had to hide some posts ..🙈 Jehovah in Jeremiah firmly explained how to live as exiles in a foreign land… We are exiles in a foreign land … We are figuratively living in Babylon… Since we are Witnesses of Jehovah .. let’s get biblical… Notice Jehovahs words to Jeremiah… Jeremiah 29:7 And seek the peace of the city to which I have exiled you, and pray in its behalf to Jehovah, for in its peace you will have peace. 8 For this is what Jehovah of armies, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are among you deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams that they are dreaming. 9 For ‘they are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them,’ declares Jehovah.”’” Remaining neutral as a Christian in the face of political assassinations is not about indifference—it’s about anchoring your response in faith, compassion, and discernment as laid out in Jehovahs word. Use it as you were trained … This is your test …. Right now .. the posts you made …Did you pass it? Or did you get sucked into the diviners of this system? Jesus lived in a politically volatile time, yet He never aligned Himself with partisan agendas. Instead, He focused on the Kingdom of Heaven, confronting injustice without being consumed by political entanglements. Neutrality means not being swept into tribalism. It means evaluating every political event—including assassinations—through the lens of Jehovah’s applied word. Not the diviners of this world.
  4. Which part is that ..? I looked for the next few months all I noticed.. I may have missed something. Sept 18 Help Your Children to Use Electronic Devices Wisely
  5. My wife and I rented for years .. but it was the same old cycle, the owner had a desire to sell or move on. So that meant we moved too many times. We finally bought and we only moved to accommodate our needs not others. You also build equity… stability .. and a place to live as you get older. Pray… let others know what you are looking for.. pray some more .. count the cost.. act.. allow Jehovah to bless your action
  6. You have got lots of feedback … which is what you wanted. Considering we are an international crowd here and do not know your local circumstances.. use your God given conscience and see how that works.. we are not discussing biblical morality we are discussing an adornment that is attached by means of a piercing.. no one died. No body part was amputated or traumatized.. You may actually learn a life lesson which is always good. That being said realize this adornment is viewed differently in every culture.. Across cultures, piercings often carry: • Spiritual meaning (protection, devotion, transformation) • Social roles (marriage eligibility, warrior status) • Health beliefs (Ayurvedic or holistic practices) • Fashion and identity (especially in modern global fusion) So you make the decision.. the glory of being a free moral agent .. choices
  7. Rather disconcerting… now I understand why different nations do not want US milk products.. Animal protein (animal byproduct meals) sources have been used in dairy cattle feeding programs for years. Products such as blood meal, fish meal, meat and bone have long been known for their ability to supply rumen-undegraded protein and, more recently, metabolizable protein and critical amino acids (lysine, methionine). Blood meal is one of the most commonly used lysine sources in dairy cattle diets to meet amino acid needs. However, when fed as a commodity, blood meal is often characterized by inconsistency and variability. Also, the source of blood meal from either porcine or poultry sources has been brought into question. There is some evidence that suggests poultry blood meal is less digestible by the dairy animal when compared to pork blood meal. Trials at the University of Minnesota have illustrated the variability of lysine levels in blood meal. One study compared four samples of blood meal for lysine percentage, percent rumen-undegraded protein, percent lysine digestibility and percent metabolizable protein in the lysine. Lysine digestibility is one of the most important values because it shows how much of the lysine can be utilized by the cow. https://www.agproud.com/articles/19028-the-use-and-future-of-animal-proteins-in-dairy-cow-diets
  8. Old news .. no new substance … let you God given conscience be your guide. Let’s move on..
  9. Yep will be interesting to see what toys remain and that are useful… But we have over 144,000 superhumans with special power and imbued knowledge that will provide the big and little picture.. Stand back and be prepared to be amazed in our involvement…
  10. Who needs the internet when the creator answers prayers .. it is his great tribulation… it is his people .. it is his judgement period ..I will take that over server farms still being miraculously powered.Think what angel means “messenger” pretty important job for a heavenly information service. Jehovahs internet knows how each animal and sparrow is doing … pretty comprehensive in my opinion. He can also write things on walls not as graffiti but as a wake up call..
  11. The core issue is privacy is a two way street..... everyone wants it but doesn't want to give it. I guess we could do the Martin Luther way and nail the proclamation to the door...
  12. This rather interesting.. Greek Archbishop hands Mr Trump a cross and says he is the New Constantine https://x.com/jackposobiec/status/1904268118098161887?s=48
  13. Background these guys wanted elders notes on their judicial committee https://www.albernivalleynews.com/news/bc-jehovahs-witnesses-privacy-case-may-go-to-supreme-court-7899109
  14. In my area of Canada gas is 1.79 per litre CAD which converts to 4.73 USD per US gallon which we consider reasonable. a far cry from .20 cents per gallon in the 60's..
  15. To keep this topic on track …I sent you a private message … on changing the KH name.. Lance
  16. I get that … we cannot post the literal response letter from the branch here .. regarding posting a letter from the branch saved in the congregations NWS app. This is a semi public -public website.. 😎😳 Round and round we go …
  17. We cannot post letters from the branch here.. but we can post a summary or import of what they respond….
  18. This has been brought up many many times.. NWS does not break any of the guidelines. I am not sure of the subscription base of this program… probably 10’s of 1000’s of congregations use it.. circuit overseers who are appointed directly by the GB make use of it, most of the information used by NWS is similar but the WTBTS “forms” are not downloaded or stored. So if I store a letter from the branch on one note, excel, word, outlook, what’s app or whatever for my personal use that is no different than storing it on NWS … it is not incorporated into the program nor is it distributed as a part of the program to others..I still have control over its use and distribution with in the program framework. Btw I have no connection to NWS other than I used it in many congregations. If you still are nervous please write the branch in your country.
  19. https://youtu.be/TgNVLr54G6E?si=sEWJTkSomLu7j6Eo a very funny Australian advertisement about a lack of agreement in the world and what eventually unites everyone.. it is not baaaaaadd..😎
  20. Whatttttt .. wreck a really good conspiracy.. what is this world coming to…😎
  21. It is is interesting how people/ companies etc react ...greed is good ...exercising the law of supply and demand is a smart thing... profit is a sacred right. My favourite scripture from the Message Bible is 2 Tim 3:1-5 1.Don't be naive. There are difficult times ahead. 2 As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, 3 dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, 4 treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. 5 They'll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they're animals. Stay clear of these people. That about sums it all up.
  22. I don’t know… some things are better to act and ask for forgiveness.. later People are dying and in desperate situations being a Good Samaritan should not come with a penalty. The minimum it will give them is some place to stay until things settle down. We went through this 2 years ago .. brothers used their motor homes and travel trailers to move temporarily on to brothers properties until the fire storms passed .. technically they would not be able to set up a temporary mobile home park .. but it was an emergency and no one complained.
  23. Elizabeth Only one site is "approved" and that is JW.org. The branch knows of our existence, and we have complied with any request that they have made to the brothers managing this site. How can you know if the person sitting next to you at convention or assembly is a "legit" Jehovah's Witness.... mostly by talking with them... are they speaking the pure language? Is their conduct something a lover Jehovah would demonstrate? Are there any warning signs? So wander around this site if anything doesn't meet the pure language test please contact the moderators, and if you are still nervous and for the sake of your conscience then if I were you I would leave, we would hate to stumble any of the little sheep. I have been on this site for many years and have visited many brothers and sisters on this site in their own congregations and got to meet their friends and family, so far I have only met lovers of Jehovah and his organization. If we do find anyone on this site that does not meet the standard expected by a Jehovah's Witness we remove their membership immediately. There are many sites that try to cater to Jehovah's Witnesses, many have no respect for the Governing Body or the brotherhood....You will not find that here... The moderators around the world try very, very hard to keep this site, a safe and upbuilding site for any lover of Jehovah. We hope you stay, but if not, that is ok too. Lance
  24. Yep fearful sights in the heavens and drones in one place after another… almost sounds biblical. That’s it boys.... head for your bunkers... and slam the door real tight. BTW : leave the keys on the porch so I can “save” your car..😎… What next 15 foot Canadian Sasquatch’s invading Oregon .. sorry that was two weeks ago….. Boggles the mind ..
