I"m pretty sure in my comment that I said "may receive", indicating that I was also not sure and just putting out an different scenario of what could happen. I do believe Jehovah will somehow preserve the dignity of his people during that time.

I think most of us keep forgetting about those lovely little JW boxes! Within them are all the meeting schedules, songs, books and Watchtowers and they can be programmed for years ahead of time (if I understand how they work correctly). They would need at least one cable to connect to the internet but it there is just one live internet connection we can find, then many can download our spiritual food at once using the wifi that would eminate from that box. Everything we will need to keep spiritually alive would be in that box during that time (just like it is for many third world nations now) and there is no way the government would be able to tell what we are connecting to (I think). Also, I would like to comment briefly on the "illogical, impractical" direction we may receive from our elders during the GT. From what I can tell with our Watchtower illustrations - we see a family inside their own home reading the Bible but keeping a look-out for what is going on outside and then all of a sudden we see that family outside in the street in front of their home surrounded by military men. That makes me think that we will be told to stay in our homes until we see the army/police come and then openly go out into the street to meet them peacefully and with dignity, holding our heads up and having faith in our Deliverer.

The Bible indicates that even we may be surprised at the suddenness at which events unfold and the circumstances that surround it. Only Jehovah knows the exact right time to put it into the hearts of man to turn their authority over to the UN and from that point on I have a feeling it will feel like "warp speed ahead"!

My husband and I have been married 23 years today! (Feb. 10, 2026) He is my best friend and I can't imagine life without him (nor do I want to). But I would hope that if anything ever happened to him and he was no longer with me, I'd continue to serve Jehovah faithfully. Moments of joy can be found between the tears even in the saddest of times when you have Jehovah in your life.

I think you need more magnesium in your diet.

If you wait till the new system - you'll have the pick of the litter so to speak!

I thought is was kinda interesting - I was going thru some Facebook reels and came upon one where this guy was asking his Alexa "on what day will thanksgiving be in 2026?" And Alexa said the exact date "thanksgiving will be on November 26th in the year 2026" and then he asked her "on what day will Christmas be in 2026" and she said "There is no day for Christmas in 2026"! Then the guy looks at the camera and says "Does Alexa know something that we don't"? So wanting to make sure this was a legit video and not an AI or a fake one made by this guy, I went to the comment section and sure enough people were asking Alexa the same questions and some were getting the exact answers he got but some were getting the actual date of Christmas in 2026. I tried it on my Alexa and she gave me the date. I just thought that was interesting! Wouldn't it be something if Alexa's original answer actually comes true!

Yes, in order to go to heaven they have to give up their fleshly bodies, completely shed them - that is death - when the body is no longer in use (breathing). So, although they are technically still alive (in heaven) they are dead on earth when they cease to use their fleshly bodies.

I think the former logo was because the app originated in Australia and so that is the continent they showed in the logo. Now that it is being used on other continents, the new logo reflects that.

It changed in the NW Publisher app too.

Looks more "worldwide" in the new logo.

It's not a huge deal. You still get all the new publications and meeting materials. You just won't have some of the new perks in the actual app but you will still get all the important stuff to keep up with the chariot. I have one device that I love to play the video's on but after a certain update, the video's refused to stream or download. I had to roll the app back to a previous version where streaming and downloading still worked and I've kept it there. I still get all the new info and publications.

Here's a thought, might seem "out there" to a lot of you. It seems to me that Trump has his nose in everything, he is basically causing chaos all around the world with the tariffs and the comments about other world leaders. He has already invaded Venezuela and wants Greenland and Canada and acts on what he believes to be real news stories when they aren't. Plus this whole thing with ICE in this country causing protests and chaos. What if all the other countries got together and said "We have to stop this man" and realized that the only way to do it was give the United Nations the authority to do what they wanted? If that happened, would the UN even need the support of the United States with such a majority to take over? Just saying , it would be interesting if the UN got it's teeth despite the US, not because of their support.

Like the Pope, I've never seen the UN accomplish anything. They write letters, make speeches and that's about it. The laws that govern the UN will need to change drastically in order for it to accomplish anything at all - that is where Jehovah comes in. He will see to it and it WILL happen.

It would be a great excuse to continue the war. Whatever it takes to get what you want.
