Its shedding heads!

Yes and he had to endure circumstances due to the lack of faith others displayed. I like what was said about Abraham who lived a life of faith despite of knowing what he had faith in could not possibly occur in his lifetime and yet "Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, old and satisfied , and was gathered to his people." Gen.25:8.

Well, I certainly do. Thanks very much for sharing these fascinating clips sister. 😊

This is quite possible to accomplish if using if using NW Scheduler (with appropriate access permissions): 1. Access JW Hub. 2. Go to Congregation Information. 3. Go to Territory. Your map will display. 4. Download the KML file. (Top right hand button). 5. Now access NW Scheduler (with sufficient editing rights). 6. Go to Congregation (Top Menu item on left) and select Congregation information. 7. Ensure the full details of your congregation Kingdom Hall address are entered, including the Latitude and Longtitude references ( Prefix the Longtitude number with -). 8. Close and reopen the program. 9. Go to Territory (4th Menu Item on left). 10. Select Master Territory Map (It should default to your KHall location if you have entered details correctly) 11. Select the 2nd icon 1n the top right hand corner to locate and import the KML file you downloaded. Your main borders will display. 12. Go to the Categories box at the top of the left hand Menu. 13. Tick the required boxes boxes you wish to display for Map categories. Their boundaries will all display on the Map. (Limit category types for legibility). 14. Zoom the map for display legibility (This does not print however). 15. Go to the Size box , second item on the left hand Menu and select the size you wish to print. (Limited selection). 16. Select other optional formatting categories as required. 17. Save (Bottom left). This will now save as a .png file which can easily be exported and printed or published as required from a suitable facility. PLEASE NOTE: The Final preparation of a map for printing might require some dexterity with image manipulation for legibility. These instructions are only ewxplain how to produce a complete territory map.

Works for me that way. The SC still needs to consult with the appropriate FSGO.

As Peter made clear.

Exciting and interesting, but it is good to remember that "no prophecy of Scripture springs from any private interpretation." (2Pet.2:19). All these time references are just a product of human chronological categorization. Our key focus has to be Jehovah's mercy (Is.55:9), and its relationship to why the end of this system has yet to come, 2Pet.3:9.

Gives weight to our understanding that the destruction of Babylon the Great could bring numbers to Jehovah's organisation.

The verdict was 3 for, 2 against. So not an easy victory. The arguments are worth a read if you can wade through 38 pages, The finding "for" was notably evidence based or, more correctly, lack of evidence based, because the opposition lacked real evidence and relied heavily on quoting statements from older jw publications, inferring and extrapolating rather than proving their case. It seemed to largely rest on the opinion of opposers, not concrete conclusions. Interestingly, the favourable judgement relied on literature statements published 2018 onwards and included quotes from the May 2024 WT. So their information was current. However vocabulary was outdated with the terms "disfellowship(ping)" used extensively, also references to shunning, and exclusion. I didn't note the more recent term "removal" being used. On that basis, I would not conclude that our recent "softening" of the procedures was the sole reason for the favourable decision. I would concede that it did contribute though, as it was noted. There is no denying that we have here a case of Is.54:17 and even a touch of Rev.12:16 .

Hmm...... Be inteteresting to see how that goes......... Robot cooking.mkv

A friend who attended Gilead back in the early 60s quoted Br Knorr as making the same statement in one of the lectures.

Used to be a cinema. First one I went to as a child. I worked on the conversion project.

I never found it very useful, probably becaiuse I wasn't using it to learn a language. I use Google translate when I meet other language speakers because you can have an immediate convertsation.

By "later than expected" I mean that our expectation of the "Peace and Security" cry has been adjusted. This what we used to think about the "Peace and Security" cry: *** w19 September p. 9 pars. 7-8 Armageddon Is Good News! *** How will we know when that tribulation is about to begin? The Bible tells us about a most unusual proclamation. It will serve as a signal announcing the great tribulation. 8 That will be the foretold proclamation of “peace and security.” This is what we now think about the "Peace and Security" cry: *** w26 February p. 31 par. 2 Questions From Readers *** This future proclamation has been described as the final signal that the great tribulation is about to begin. However, after further careful consideration, it seems that there is another possible explanation that we cannot rule out. Perhaps the proclamation of “peace and security” will be made after the destruction of false religion. So it may come "later than expected" in the sense of the difference now in our understanding of the sequence of events. Of course, our expectation is purely our personal view based on what we know. Nothing Jehovah does is ever "late" from his perspective. But our focus on what will precipitate the start of the great tribulation has been adjusted and the counsel provided in 2025 is ever more valid: *** w25 November p. 31 par. 7 Questions From Readers *** We need not look for news reports that governments are slowly becoming more supportive of the United Nations. What we can expect is this: With startling suddenness, Jehovah will put it into the hearts of the nations to hand over their power to the wild beast. When that happens, we will know that the great tribulation is about to begin. Our understanding now is that the "Peace and Security" cry could occur after this event, "later than (previously) expected".

This may come later than expected. Trump's Board of Peace indicates a recognition that the UN has no teeth........at the moment!
