Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the difference to me. For some reason I always believed that impreachment meant "You're outta here!".

I always dread it when they announce which versions of Android they will stop updating. My phone is 8 years old and running on Android 11. But in the last 6 to 8 months some of the app's I depend on won't update anymore. I was afraid it was going to happen with JW Library and my banking app's soon, so I broke down and bought a new phone even though my other ones still works. 4 months pay after taxes down the proverbial drain.

I'm confused, you were the one who first said "to date no US president has been removed from office". Isn't that the same as impeachment?

That's because when they see impeachment coming, they quickly resign to save themselves the embarrassment.

Someone hacked into the government emergency alert systems in Russia and Ukraine and told people that nuclear missles were headed their way. Also hacked some app's and did the same thing. I can only imagine the panick that caused. It's getting to the point where their are no "safety" measures in place anymore because people always find a way around them. Everything that is going on now should really drive home to us that Jehovah is the only one we can trust and to stick as close as possible to him and his organization.

You have a lot of food in "tins" - you might want to put "tin opener" or "can opener" on your list of things to pack unless these tins come with their own way to open them.

But if you have a smart tv, you can skip using the box to cast and go directly into your tv's menu to do it.

you initiate the cast with your phone first and then it will search for something to cast to and your tv box will come up and you click connect.

For those of us who have room to stock up on food and other necessities, that is a good thing. For those of us who don't, we have brothers and sister who do and will share - Jehovah will take of the rest. Do what you can, when you can is all Jehovah asks.

if you have a smart tv, you can mirror cast whatever is on your phone to the tv.

Honestly, I don't know how anyone in the Phillipines survives. You seem to have hurricane after hurricane and in between there are the earthquakes. The people there never get a break!

I have a tv that is not "smart", it's about 20 years old. I just hooked an android box to it and can have the real JW Library app on it. Easy Peasy. You can do it with any tv.

I believe it will be too but the headline won't be " all leaders turn their power over to the UN". I think it will be more like "World Leaders declare World Peace as UN now makes decisions" or something like that. It won't make the leaders seem so weak and ineffectual.

It will be interesting to see if that is kept on the "down low" or not (authority given to the UN) because world governments may decide they don't want anyone to know so as not to cause a mass panic. I can't imagine so many of today's proud, arrogant rulers turning over their authority to the UN and then wanting it spread all over the place, unless they come up with some weakly plausible lie about why they did it.

I'm not sure why we would need an official announcement from the GB about the GT starting because it was my understanding that when the United Nations puts an end to all religion, that is the start. When that happens, it will make worldwide news, I don't think there will be any doubts. But it's always nice to have confirmation from the one true source of truth. When religion takes a hit, so will it's buildings and wealth, so I can imagine all religious property will be systematically confiscated and handed over to it's respective government, That is probably the reason that our publications always picture us meeting in other places besides our kingdom halls during that period of time. I would rather not think of that time as "scary", more like challenging. People outside our organization will be scared because they never imagined this happening - people are out of their minds now over the slightest thing, when something this big happens it will really amp up the craziness and chaos. But the Bible assures us that we will be "dwelling in security" because Jehovah will be taking care of us and keeping us united and still able to worship him. It will be that last moment of the GT when Gog of Magog attacks that might seem a bit frightening, but there is the reason we need to make our faith unbreakable now, so that we can "hold our heads up, knowing our deliverance is near".
