I didn’t say they were prophetic.

That’s pretty obvious Lol no one here has a basement or attic that you could get into… but we do all have go bags at the ready just in case we need to flee because of disaster or because of advice from the brothers Like you said those videos were put up there to encourage us to have the correct attitude

That’s a sensible idea

Thursday, March 12 [Jesus] said to his mother: “Woman, see! Your son!”—John 19:26. John was a beloved apostle of Jesus Christ. (Matt. 10:2) John accompanied Jesus throughout his ministry, witnessed his miracles, and stuck with him during difficult times. He watched as Jesus was executed and saw him after he was resurrected. He also witnessed the spread of Christianity in the first century from a small group of faithful ones until the good news had been “preached in all creation under heaven.” (Col. 1:23) Near the end of his long life, John was privileged to contribute to God’s inspired Word. He recorded the awe-inspiring “revelation by Jesus Christ.” (Rev. 1:1) John wrote the Gospel bearing his name. He also wrote three inspired letters. He addressed his third letter to a faithful Christian named Gaius, whom John viewed as a beloved spiritual child. (3 John 1) What this faithful older man wrote has encouraged all of Jesus’ followers down to our day. w24.11 12 ¶15-16

Here in Ireland you would wear a swimsuit with a Tee Shirt over it

Wednesday, March 11 You need endurance.—Heb. 10:36. Hebrew Christians would have to endure tests of their faith as conditions in Judea deteriorated. Although some Hebrew Christians had faced intense persecution, many had accepted Christianity during a period of relative peace. The apostle Paul mentioned that although they had endured difficult tests of faith, they had not thus far suffered as Jesus did, that is, to the point of death. (Heb. 12:4) With the spread of Christianity, however, the Jewish opposers were becoming increasingly bitter and fanatical. Just a few years earlier, more than 40 Jews “bound themselves with a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.” (Acts 22:22; 23:12-14) Despite such a climate of religious fanaticism and hatred, those Christians would still need to meet for worship, preach the good news, and keep themselves strong in the faith. w24.09 12 ¶15

That’s fiction… in reality we have absolutely no idea as to what will happen

Tuesday, March 10 Keep holding to the standard of wholesome words.—2 Tim. 1:13. What could happen if we deviated from “the standard of wholesome words”? Consider an example. In the first century, a rumor was apparently circulating among some Christians that the day of Jehovah had arrived. There may have been a letter—supposedly written by the apostle Paul—that made such an assertion. Without taking the time to check the facts, some Christians in Thessalonica believed the rumor and were even spreading it. They would not have been fooled had they remembered the things Paul had taught them when he was still with them. (2 Thess. 2:1-5) Paul counseled his brothers not to believe everything they heard. And to help them in the future, Paul concluded his second letter to the Thessalonians with the words: “Here is my greeting, Paul’s, in my own hand, which is a sign in every letter; this is the way I write.”—2 Thess. 3:17. w24.07 12 ¶13-14

Well Iran has a new leader who is cut from the same cloth and still continues to fight for God 🙄 The world continues to call it a war driven by religion, now of course we need the nations to give their power to the UN in order to turn on religion BTG … May that happen soon because we are all so so tired and many of us have been patiently waiting for over 50 years but we won’t stop now, the end is definitely is sight and drawing to a very swift conclusion. We live in very exciting times and as a GB member said it’s perfectly normal to feel very slightly apprehensive but we put our trust in Jehovah, it’s a time to hold our heads up and stand firm 🥰

Monday, March 9 It will come true.—Ezek. 33:33. Even after the great tribulation starts, it is possible that some who see the destruction of “Babylon the Great” will recall that Jehovah’s Witnesses had long spoken of this event. Might some who see these events have a change of heart? (Rev. 17:5) Such an outcome would be similar to what occurred in Egypt in Moses’ day. Recall that “a vast mixed company” joined Israel in the Exodus. Some of these individuals may have started to develop faith when they saw that Moses’ warnings about the Ten Plagues came true. (Ex. 12:38) If a similar development should occur following the destruction of Babylon the Great, would we be disappointed that people were able to join us shortly before the end comes? Of course not! We want to reflect the personality of our heavenly Father, “a God merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and abundant in loyal love and truth.”—Ex. 34:6. w24.05 11 ¶12-13

Sunday, March 8 Remove the wicked person from among yourselves.—1 Cor. 5:13. God’s opposers try to put positive aspects of his organization in a negative light. For instance, we have learned from the Scriptures that Jehovah expects his worshippers to be clean physically, morally, and spiritually. He requires that any who unrepentantly pursue a course of uncleanness be removed from the congregation. (1 Cor. 5:11, 12; 6:9, 10) We adhere to that Scriptural command. But our opposers try to use that against us by accusing us of being intolerant, judgmental, and unloving. We must recognize the source of these attacks. Satan the Devil is behind false stories. He is “the father of the lie.” (John 8:44; Gen. 3:1-5) So we should expect that Satan will use his supporters to promote false stories about Jehovah’s organization. w24.04 10-11 ¶13-14

Saturday, March 7 Give Jehovah his due, you families of the peoples, give Jehovah his due for his glory and strength.—Ps. 96:7. We glorify Jehovah because we deeply respect him. We have many reasons to respect him. Jehovah is almighty; he has limitless power. (Ps. 96:4-7) His profound wisdom is clearly evident in the things he has made. He is the Source of our life and the Sustainer of it. (Rev. 4:11) He is loyal. (Rev. 15:4) Everything he does succeeds, and he always keeps his promises. (Josh. 23:14) No wonder the prophet Jeremiah said regarding Jehovah: “Among all the wise ones of the nations and among all their kingdoms, there is no one at all like you”! (Jer. 10:6, 7) Certainly, we have good reasons to respect our heavenly Father. But Jehovah does more than earn our respect—he wins our love. And, most of all, we glorify Jehovah because we dearly love him. w25.01 3 ¶5-6

Churchill is very revered in the UK regarding the way he led WW11 and became allies with the US forming again the Anglo American world power… that’s why Trump mentioned that Starmer is not like Churchill… that remark would have cut deep.

Friday, March 6 My feet had almost strayed; my steps had nearly slipped.—Ps. 73:2. We may feel deeply hurt and distressed by injustice. (Eccl. 7:7) Faithful servants, such as Job and Habakkuk, felt the same way. (Job 6:2, 3;Hab. 1:1-3) While these feelings are natural, we need to be careful about how we react so that we do not do something foolish and make matters much worse. When those who act unjustly seem to go unpunished, we might question whether it is worthwhile to do what is right. Consider the psalmist who observed that the wicked seemed to prosper at the expense of the righteous. “These are the wicked, who always have it easy,” he said. (Ps. 73:12) He was also so distraught about the injustice he saw that he almost lost confidence in the benefits of serving Jehovah, saying: “When I tried to understand it, it was troubling to me.”—Ps. 73:14, 16. w24.11 3 ¶5-7

And even then it will be the UN

Thursday, March 5 For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, to break up the works of the Devil.—1 John 3:8. Through the centuries, Jehovah gradually made it clearer and clearer how sinful humans could draw close to him. Abel, the second son of Adam and Eve, was the first human to put faith in Jehovah after the tragedy in Eden. Because Abel loved Jehovah and sought to please Him and draw close to Him, he offered up a sacrifice. Abel was a shepherd, so he took some of his young lambs and slaughtered them, offering them up to Jehovah. How did Jehovah respond? He “looked with favor on Abel and on his offering.” (Gen. 4:4) Jehovah expressed approval of similar sacrifices offered up by people who loved him and trusted in him—such as Noah. (Gen. 8:20, 21) By accepting such sacrifices, Jehovah showed that sinful humans could gain his favor and draw close to him. w24.08 3 ¶5-6

Yes I’ve noticed they keep referring to it as a war started by Islam etc (insert eye roll Lol ) and that the UN doesn’t have any power I’ve also wondered if this way of the nations thinking will go onto other things… Jehovah will make it happen if so

Wednesday, March 4 God in his kindness is trying to lead you to repentance.—Rom. 2:4. Saul of Tarsus was a vicious persecutor of Christ’s beloved followers. Most Christians likely viewed him as a lost cause, beyond any hope of repentance. Yet, the resurrected Jesus was far above such flawed human reasoning. He and his Father saw good qualities in Saul. Jesus said: “This man is a chosen vessel to me.” (Acts 9:15) Jesus even used a miracle to lead Saul to repentance. (Acts 7:58–8:3; 9:1-9, 17-20) After becoming a Christian, Saul—later known as the apostle Paul—often expressed his appreciation for the way he had been shown kindness and mercy. (1 Tim. 1:12-15) When Paul heard about a scandalous problem regarding immorality in the Christian congregation in Corinth, how did he handle it? He did so in a way that teaches us a great deal about Jehovah’s loving discipline and about the importance of showing mercy. w24.0813 ¶15-16

I just ordered heating oil the last time we paid 94 a litre and lunchtime today it was 1.34 and expected to keep rising I think we will be using it very sparingly! They have also effectively closed the Straits of Hormuz as Iran has said that they will set fire to any tanker trying to go through…. So now insurance companies will remove any shipping insurance on tankers trying to pass through Just more of those critical times that come in many different forms!

Pure profiteering and mankind’s greed at its worse

Tuesday, March 3 Jehovah is my strength and my shield.—Ps. 28:7. Zadok went to Hebron armed and ready for battle. (1 Chron. 12:38) He was willing to follow David into battle and to defend Israel from its enemies. What Zadok possibly lacked in experience as a warrior, he made up for in courage. Where did a priest like Zadok learn to be so courageous? He was surrounded by men who were strong and courageous. No doubt he benefited from their example. For instance, David’s example of courageously “leading Israel on its campaigns” moved all of Israel to support him wholeheartedly. (1 Chron. 11:1, 2) David always relied on Jehovah for help against his enemies. (Ps. 138:3) Zadok had other inspiring examples right by his side—men such as Jehoiada and his warrior son Benaiah as well as the 22 other tribal chiefs who rallied to David’s side.—1 Chron. 11:22-25; 12:26-28. w24.07 3 ¶5-6

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

Sunday, March 1 The one who has died has been acquitted from his sin.—Rom. 6:7. We read in the Bible of righteous people who became unrighteous. King Solomon is an example. He was thoroughly instructed in God’s ways and greatly blessed by Jehovah; yet, he later turned to worshipping false gods. His sins made Jehovah furious and brought consequences that lasted for centuries. True, the Scriptures do say that Solomon “was laid to rest with his forefathers,” including such faithful men as King David. (1 Ki. 11:5-9, 43; 2 Ki. 23:13) But was the manner of his burial a guarantee that he would be resurrected? The Bible does not say. Resurrection is a gift from a loving God. He bestows it on those whom he wants to give an opportunity to serve him forever. (Job 14:13, 14;John 6:44) Will Solomon receive such a gift? Jehovah knows the answer; we do not. We do know, though, that Jehovah will do what is right. w24.05 4 ¶9

That would be nice but I’m not holding my breathe

I don’t think anything has been released yet?
