  1. I call it a video series. I tell them 6 episodes are out now on our website and the free JWB smart tv channel/app, with twelve more coming over the years. Sometimes I liken it to translating the Bible for a specific audience, in this case, people who appreciate learning visually. I tell them all the gospels are there word for word, and eventually the book of Acts too (I hope we do the whole New Testament but Matthew to Acts is what has been confirmed as videos)
  2. The annual meeting is over, but we still have a few more “eternal happiness” conventions left! Manila, Philippines — November 6–8 San Diego, USA — November 27–29 Bangkok, Thailand — December 11–13 on Dec 28 we should get the global service report. Then on February 27 we start the memorial campaign. around the end of April we will receive the new episodes of Good News series, because on May 7 is the first convention at Newburgh (not an international)
  3. The World Health Organization says it is now seeking clarification from Russia about media reports of a second employee at the Irkutsk anti-plague institute developing pneumonia of undetermined cause. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said WHO has specifically requested information about that reported second illness as well as the pathogen responsible for the original worker’s severe pneumonia. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/who-seeks-details-russia-media-reports-a-second-lab-worker-with-pneumonia-2026-10-07/
  4. There are tons of social problems being caused by the AI race. One of them is that Americans are finding their utility bills increase sometimes by 400% which helps to subsidize the costs of the mega corporations… who seem to always profit off the backs of average people.
  5. Why is the subscribe button gone? Was that RSS?
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. That’s how I feel too. I’d love the right to travel to virtually any part of Europe and work there freely.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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)
