I see now. But we call them a “ceremonial head of state” because their political powers have been completely reduced so that they are quite meaningless. The acting head of state is the prime minister. But in the EU, the heads of state are bound by EU laws and customs.

It is no way part of the UK, and never has been. You might be thinking of the “commonwealth” status, which is completely unaffected by joining the EU. In fact Malta and Cyprus are part of both things.

To destroy the harlot BtG

You know, that could certainly be possible.

I don’t think it would affect our form of govt (ceremonially a monarchy, but also a constitutional democracy/parliament). In fact majority of European countries are still technically monarchies and have their own king/queen, but they have little power over the 3 branches of government.

That’s how I feel too. I’d love the right to travel to virtually any part of Europe and work there freely.

I’d say strong yes, because the power it has is binding on all of its member states. That’s a large reason why the UK left, because they wanted to reverse they previous act of having giving up sovereignty on some issues. Definitely. The EU courts and regulatory commission are absolute. The EU acts like a single country in many ways.

I just find it interesting how when a country makes accession to EU member state status, it literally “gives its power” to the EU— meaning, the country fully gives up quite a few rights that a sovereign nation normally has, and gives those up to the EU. The country is then no longer sovereign in many spheres, such as laws, economics, etc.

While I appreciate the humour, I was wondering if anyone thinks the EU could play a role in international affairs that relate to the great tribulation, the fall of Babylon the Great, or other prophecies.

Canada may draw closer to the European Union as the EU has proposed a new class of membership status which it is calling an “associate member” if Canada joins, and the category is fully fleshed out in EU law, could we see the EU grow on an international scale? Canada and the EU are expected to flesh out the proposal further around their summit next month in Montréal, October 29–30 (Reuters)

lol not happening. Plus, it’s not just china. Many countries are building this stuff as fast as they can

People keep saying “government intervention” without specifying which government they mean. If the US makes laws to slow down AI progress, that has no bearing on AI companies in China. We are essentially in an arms race in a world where hundreds of countries all hate each other or at the very least do not trust each other. There is no global mechanism to slow all AI companies down worldwide.

Republican politics is killing churches

I think the underlying problem is just consuming too much media, to be honest. It just goes to show how strong the influence of media can be on us. -
2027 International Convention dates
Brandon replied to Brandon's topic in JW.org Press Releases & JW's in the News
was this the greatly rumoured “Sept 12 meeting” certain congregations’ elders were invited to? -
Updates to JW Library® (All Devices)
Brandon replied to bohemian's topic in Computers, Tablets, Mobile Devices, & Apps
Not necessarily. Once Apple releases Xcode 27.1 the branch simply needs to click “build” and it should work on iPhone Duo. Although it might not have full optimization, it should run two versions of JWL side by side just fine since it uses “scenes” which JWL already began supporting when they released the update supporting multi windows on iPadOS.
