Good reference. In fact, being taken in by the cry of "Peace and Security", whatever form it takes and is demonstrated, will be a feature of those who sadly have this mark. (1Thess.5:3.)

It is illegal for this level of detail to be recorded where I live. The only detail we can have is an overal list of territory areas (not addresses other than what is publicly available and do not calls. We cannot even record interest shown unless the householder gives us their personal detail. Maybe having those details your end helps you work the territory more thoroughly as you say, but, maybe at the same time, it frees up a few angels to come end to help guide us the "rightly disposed" ones?? 😀

Mailbox stories. Where I come from, the Secretary always checks the mailbox....now. There might well be utility bills if there is no central arrangement and that includes cut-off warnings!. Also, in 2021 an interested person wrote asking for a study. I got the letter after 4 weeks and that person is now an unbaptised publisher. Also, a letter that was written to me personally, I received nearly 3 months after posting. It had also been opened. I complained. There has also been letters from apostates and even pornography. Good that now, the Secretary has the sense to check the post and mail gets into the appropriate hands (or the trash can) by following meeting latest.

I suppose as with so many things, the eye of the beholder determines the purpose. This topic appeared to be pointing out the distasteful capitalisation of opportunity displayed in the tacky merchandising of religious sentimentality. I included an example of how Temu is not quite so amazing as they are merely just another kid on the block of religious exploitation. Maybe some see that as advertising, maybe others see it as exposing...................no offence intended. 😊

It is just a platform or marketplace for independent retailers....like amazon:

Chat gtp response when challenged on spurious quotes: "Thanks for catching that — I want to be completely accurate. The quote I gave you earlier about repentance being a process does not appear verbatim in the April 15, 1991 Watchtower issue. That was a mistake on my part, and I apologize for the confusion." "I should have avoided assigning false precision (like specific dates/pages) unless 100% certain." And then this interesting promise going forward to: "✅ Include accurate citations with publication name, date, page (if applicable), and link from JW.org or wol.jw.org when available." Inaccuracy seems to happen more as a rule than an exception unless we are very careful with the wording of our queries! The AI tool has it's use, but the warning at Pr 10:26 will apply unless we are diligent in our own research: "Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so the lazy person is to the one who sends him."

As in UK

Chapter 22 - Point 26 in the Addendum ? What document is this? Our addendum only goes 13 sections.

Long as they didn't think we were there to support the march. Reminds me of the time I placed a magazine in Dec that had a Christmasy picture. The householder said "That will look great on my hall table. Just the right picture for the time of year!"

And you might find the Enjoy Life Forever chapter that it appears in useful for the context in which this video is used as a teaching tool. It is in section 6 of Lesson 12: https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=jwlshare&wtlocale=E&prefer=lang&docid=1102021212

I agree with this. Differences in dress and grooming preferences are not indicators of "unity" any more than uniforms are. Our unity is expressed in our acceptance of those who express these differences within the acceptable parameters. Acts 10:34-35 "Now I truly understand that God is not partial, but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him"

I was asked recently by bearded brothers, "why haven't you grown a beard yet?". My response at the time: " I prefer to wear my crown on my head, not around my chin" Pro.16:31.

In terms of this, or any other conflict between nations during these last days, there is only one way "to think about". That is the way Lot thought about what was going on in his day: "And he rescued righteous Lot, who was greatly distressed by the brazen conduct of the lawless people— for day after day that righteous man was tormenting his righteous soul over the lawless deeds that he saw and heard while dwelling among them." 2Pet.2:7-8

Will there be the internet during the Great Tribulation? More interesting is will all have access to the internet at that time?
