Great Tribulation may just be anytime - The part about disfellowshipped individuals was so 😭 😭

Thank you for these. Very useful! Just wondering though how Isaiah 48:17, 18 how Kingdom is a government in heaven…. Those verses don’t seem to have anything to do with kingdom though….

Yes but those disgruntled folks who are specifically targeting JWs (like the Hamburg perpetrator) will not go to the grocery stores nor schools. They know exactly where to go - the Kingdom Hall - and evening is usually criminals favorite timeline due to less visibility

Only my personal wishful thinking but i will be fully supportive of whatever the direction of the slave is: that perhaps the midweek evening meetings can be transitioned to zoom since we’re closer to the great tribulation and we may not have a lot of it remaining? Watchtower/public talk remains in-person as it’s usually daytime? ….. 20 years ago, 10 years ago, even 3 years ago things were different. The level of crazy has grown exponentially during/post pandemic. The witness elderlies, kids, babies, still out at night gathering inside and then at the parking lot of the Kingdom Hall being vulnerable as preys to Satanic world … and as to what happened in Hamburg, no miracles prevented this tragedy from happening. It’s allowed to happen now! Yes, We need the new world asap 🙏

but in these very critical times, being “welcoming” to the public could mean being welcoming also to the psychopaths, disgruntled people, and criminals. It’s tricky. Also another concern is how the imperfect minds work especially during tragic events like this how Satan can exploit it. There are still those who have to attend meetings via zoom due to circumstances but many choose to do in-person to be in support and obedient to the direction. Maybe due to trauma and grief there may be some blaming phase here on how being in-person is now a bad arrangement as opposed to those who were in zoom safe and sound! Again it’s tricky.

yes the ones in twitter are footages from the Tel Aviv shooting - so fake!

hmmm.. and then this: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/moderna-covid-19-shot-more-likely-cause-heart-inflammation-than-pfizers-study-2021-12-17/

This is why i made sure and was annoying to the pharmacist to make sure he aspirates and injects it into my deltoid muscle. I flexed my arm a but so he sees clearly. He was pretty good. He was like “i know what i’m doing, definitely intramuscular!”

Yes, that's what I totally got from your post - adverse effects from VACCINES. We can safely assume there are no miraculous protection from COVID as many of our faithful brothers/sisters have already died from it.

I'm thinking of this too... ("hoping" is the word). I tried to study and research a lot about these mRNA vaccines from their release dates 01/2021 since I have an autoimmune condition. I was concerned of the "genetics" approach. Technology is too advanced and revolutionary (mRNA) and the first global rollout in humans. While doing that I was in parallel researching on early therapeutics or alternatives just in case I contracted Covid and acquired all of those from my friends (physicians). They're ready in my cabinet. Then to torture myself I guess, I joined support groups including medscape of folks who have the same condition as mine and saw how many of them are enduring neurological mRNA vaccine effects and their quality of life is massively degraded with depressions and all . So this made me very hesitant and pushed it back. I had a lot of questions in my prayers like "what about natural immunity? the children? the heart issues? the ones who got side effects "? But the GB Updates are consistent. Not changing. Pushing the vaccine almost in a begging kind of way. Loving. Discreet. Using words and phrases like "this is the way walk in it", "with eyes of faith", "advice", "instruction", "direction", "guidance". And then the question of Bro. Splane: "What does Jehovah know?" So maybe Jehovah's got our backs on this one? And He's telling us "stop researching at this point, just listen to me" At the end of the day, I trust that Jehovah is the greatest scientist in the universe and the only One who understands all the intricacies of the mechanisms of DNA/RNA and my trust goes to Him ... I'm wishing our loving Father Jehovah says "Humans are messing this up way too much I will have to do a wee a bit of miracle to protect my people .. " . Just a wish... You know His name means "He Causes to Become" so... that's just me. sorry if this post comes across as unrealistic.

Very true. Perplexing. I also know of friends stories about people they know that are overweight, diabetics, hypertensives, with kidney problems, that never needed hospitalization and just got better at home. But also young ones, healthy no underlying issues that went straight to ventilator and never made it … I think that’s why Jehovah is so loving and has been hinting us to stop being confused and He just guided us with direction .. 4 consecutive GB updates that even we’re free to make personal decision, the direction has been firm and has not been changing…..

True! In my experience, maybe coincidental only, many friends in congregations (30s to early 60s around 17 of them) I know who have contracted the disease, stayed at home, telemeds with docs, did therapeutics (antibiotics, budesonide, etc), loads of vitamins, still attended Zoom meetings with camera off, recovered within 1 or 2 weeks. None went to the hospital. They all said it's worse than flu in symptoms, like an engineered new disease, but they got better nonetheless. Full recovery. They were all scared of the hospitals because they assume they would be on ventilators and therapeutics would be very limited and they won't end up good. Of course I know folks who also didn't make it. Just saying that more than 95% of them got better and recovered on their own. Definitely other factors like underlying conditions and comorbidities are involved here. You just need to do your own calculations or risk/benefits when making a decision.

Wish we had that here in the US. We have Novavax - a traditional (protein subunit) vaccine that many have been waiting for including NASA engineers. I had been awaiting Novavax too but after GB updates, providing proper food at the proper "time", I went ahead with Pfizer.

i was hesitant in getting the vaccines for many months due to my medical situation, but the consecutive GB Updates# made me get the jabs. I felt much better knowing Im following GB’s clear direction. However things like this make me anxious. This is from american heart association. Anyone, pls. alleviate my fears.. https://www.thecardiologyadvisor.com/home/topics/acs/acute-coronary-syndrome-acs-biomarkers-mrna-covid19-vaccine/ https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/circ.144.suppl_1.10712 Thinking about the statistics of brother Lett GB 8 — seems like 100% of vaccinated Bethel Fam, missionaries are all doing fine right? I know there are no miracles now but who knows with the meaning of Jehovah’s name, He’s probably making things happen

Very helpful!!!! Thank you Bro.Carlos
