I have now been a member of this website for over 20 months...and I can say the following with absolute confidence and assurance: other than our direct websites and associated apps, this site is the GOLD STANDARD for those looking for spiritual association and upbuilding topics and discussions ONLINE. I have seen others...I have even joined some briefly...but none of them, including the various Facebook groups that I have found...even begin to touch this website for its level of deep spiritual discussions, its gold star status of monitoring posts and its members for any and all discouraging or disparaging remarks...and its vigilance in keeping Jehovah's house clean by ejecting any who threaten our spiritual online oasis with apostate views or thinking. So, to begin this post...I want to say thank you once again to all the moderators and the other staff who work so diligently and vigilantly to keep this site up to a very high standard of spiritual cleanliness...you are the digital gatekeepers to this additional spiritual landscape that we all get to enjoy...and because of you...we have not only a sprawling terrain filled with various forms of trees and shrubbery that we can lounge under while we enjoy each other's company...we also have a large spiritual lake of pure water fed my many many inlets of fresh water streams, creeks and rivers...these coming from all of the regular contributors that come here daily and add to the beauty of our scenery. Speaking on behalf of my brothers and sisters...all of us feel the warmth and the gentle breezes as soon as we log in...as soon as our eyes take in all the various formats and topics of discussion that we have to catch up on...posts that we may have missed from our favorite contributors...notifications of emojis given or comments made by our fellow brothers and sisters on an upcoming meeting that get our spiritual juices flowing...words cannot accurately describe how much we deeply appreciate this additional haven of refuge from Satan and his wicked system...nor can it be underrated how this site adds to our spiritual shields throughout each day. Some of us come here for comfort, some for advice on a certain spiritual topic or question, others of us come here just for the warmth...just to be close...even through a digital screen...to those with whom we share such an intimate spiritual connection. The level of understanding...commiseration...the vast pool... (potentially thousands of years) ...of deep spiritual knowledge and wisdom added to the profound ocean of real-life experience...both good and bad...all of this has created a place where I am 100% positive that Jehovah is...and that is why I am creating this post. So, to every single person that contributes to this added spiritual landscape...that has added even a single drop of water to its streams or lakes...or caused to grow in the heart or mind of even one of your brothers or sisters a single blade of grass, leaf on a tree...or just even added an extra ray of sunshine during one of your visits here...I speak for all of us...THANK YOU!! Your words...your expressions through a post...a comment...or even just a simple emoji...every single expression, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem...adds to what we all enjoy here...and again, speaking for all of us...from the bottom of our hearts...THANK YOU!! We are so close, friends. The encouragement you provide...even when you come here and pour out your heart in the Comfort section...it simply cannot be measured. You have no idea how much all of us not only care about your pain...but go through it with you...even if we're thousands of miles apart. So please...never stop sharing what you're going through...because Jehovah is the God of ALL comfort...and we are proud to assist in being a part of that comfort...if you let us. The truth is...we ALL need comfort and love...and we need to realize that, sometimes...it's okay...to not be okay. That's what we're here for...that's WHY this site exists...that's WHY you feel the way you do...as soon as you login. I'll shut up now...just know...that I sincerely appreciate all of you...and look forward to using this site as long as it's available...and then...in the New System...I look forward to getting to know each of you in the literal Paradise. Agape, Tim

JWB Dec 2024 AM part 1 transcript

I am SOOOOOOOO excited! November has gone fast.

It does indeed stagger the mind. As a member of the Great Crowd to come and a part of the majority of humans who look for a reward on earth, I simply lack the ability to comprehend the nature and type of reward they will receive. An instantaneous change to spirit life without the loss of a single thought. The faster-than-light travel to the distant heavens. The miraculous gain of almost infinite knowledge and the promotion to Kings and Priests in the kingdom, in the 'twinkling of an eye'. It is mind-boggling. And then to return almost as fast as the lead in Christ's warrior army to rescue us at Armageddon. Many of them having never been on horse-back before come charging in on 'spiritual mounts' to save us in a never before or since display of awesome power. The activity is so immense, inter-universal and dramatic. For a brief momnent I wish I could observe the heavenly component of this action, but I am extremely happy to be an observer on earth. It makes you really appreciate the emotion behinds the apostle John's words in Revelation, when viewing Christ in vision he exclaims, "COME, Lord Jesus". Indeed, Amen.

My dear brothers and sisters...my dear friends...once again I come before you with something I sincerely hope will help each and every one of you when you find yourself... (figuratively speaking) ...at the bottom of the barrel...at the end of your tether...when you feel you are stuck between a proverbial rock...and the hard place which will never go away. I cannot fix your problems...alas, I can barely deal daily with my own. Usually, I find myself coming home from work utterly exhausted and in one or more semi-permanent states of pain. Usually, I find myself returning home to my wife with the dregs of tears in my eyes...tears from knowing and fully understanding my own personal deficiencies...tears from understanding what a pathetic human being I am because, once again...I failed! The specifics of said failures aren't important...usually they are as varied as the aches and pains that assail my body day by day...but they are there...and I feel them, nonetheless. And yet...here I am... ready once again to wrestle and crank open the tap that controls all these emotions that assail me daily...and allow all of you inside my head...inside my heart...and to share two small scriptures that continue to keep me plowing forward...day after day after day. I make no claims that these scriptures will illuminate you in a flash of brilliant spiritual light...we know them well...we have heard them over and over again...they have been pounded into our head repeatedly at meetings, assemblies and conventions...and yet...perhaps you haven't thought of them in the way that I have...perhaps you haven't made the one little connection between these two verses that was made for me so many years ago by a brother who listened to my tears while I sat in prison...a brother who told me that, one day...I would emerge from my trials a different person...a new man...a spiritual man. These two verses are very personal to me...so when I tell you about the connection between them...please don't make light of it...please try to see it for what it is...to me...a once broken man sitting behind bars for a lifetime full of lies and hatred expressed through taking what belonged to others...and please take a moment to really think about what these verses can mean... to you. Please...allow me to introduce you to two men who I'm sure you know very well...and yet...you may not have understood this one teeny tiny point that has forevermore settled itself into my brain...one small point which links these servants of Jehovah together in my mind and heart...a bright cord of brilliant electricity that crackles between them deep within me. Who am I talking about? Why...Isaiah and Peter, of course. First...before I share these two verses...allow me to show you one small detail both of these men had in common...a trait that all of us share...a trait that I have already mentioned. Luke 22:62: "And he went outside and wept bitterly." Isaiah 22:4: "That is why I said: “Turn your eyes away from me, And I will weep bitterly. Do not insist on comforting me Over the destruction of the daughter of my people." Yes, friends...as I am sure is no surprise to any of you...both of these men were faithful servants of Jehovah...and more to the point...both wept! Oh Tim... that's no big deal...pshhhh 🙄...all of us know they wept...why, ALL of Jehovah's servants have wept at one time or another!! Sigh...very true...all of us know these men wept...and yet...there are two verses which these men were inspired to write... (which a brother showed me years ago) ...that have left a DEEP impression on my heart...and now I will share them with you. 1 Peter 5:8: "Keep your senses, be watchful! Your adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone." Make no mistake about, my brothers and sisters...we are being stalked...all day...every day...by a cunning enemy who, according to the Watchtower, shows no compassion before he kills...and absolutely no remorse after he has consumed his kill. Completely and utterly vicious...the simple truth is...lions are both naturally stronger and faster than humans...and that is why the Watchtower has acknowledged that we have no business even attempting to fight or outrun this ruthless and savage enemy on our own strength. And yet...as stupid as this may sound...as ridiculous and preposterous and insane as this may seem...we have the tendency to do exactly that. Why do I think I can outrun a supernatural spirit being...on my own?? Sure...I may not intend to do it on my own...I may say I have Jehovah on my side...but do I really? Sadly, my friends...sometimes I don't. And it's during those times that I have noticed a pattern of what I am doing...versus what I am not doing. During those times...my ego puffs up like a pufferfish...I am on cloud nine thinking that I have some situation or trial handled...and I was clever enough to handle it on my own...and that's when the lion roars behind me...that's when I can suddenly feel its putrid breath on the back of my neck. In short, that's when I am not relying on Jehovah and HIS wisdom. So... what about the other scripture? What about Isaiah...and why do weeping and tears matter to me SO much? Please turn with me to the following verse: Isaiah 40:31: "But those hoping in Jehovah will regain power. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary; They will walk and not tire out.” Friends...this may be obvious to all of you...but it wasn't to me...not back then...and I have never forgotten this simple lesson since: A lion can run at speeds of upwards of 40 MPH... but an eagle can fly at speeds exceeding 80 MPH. Friends...it's not even close...how sad is that? We have the ability to take flight and leave that wicked disgusting lion in our dust...and yet here we sit...continuing over and over again to try to outrun him on our own... (sometimes). Now...how do tears fit into all of this? Why do you need to cry...to beat Satan, his demons...and this wicked world that he controls? Maybe you don't...maybe you can do it without tears...but this dear dear brother pointed out the following...and I found this so moving...so powerful...that I wrote it down...and I have never let go of his words since: "Just as tears can signify moments of deep sorrow or weariness, they also represent a cleansing process. Through the act of crying and turning to Jehovah, we find renewal. Like eagles that soar high, those who wait on Jehovah are lifted above their hardships, finding new strength to continue their journey...tears shed in prayer and reliance on Jehovah become the wings that enable His servants to rise above their challenges. " I'm not afraid to cry, friends. But I am afraid that if I quit shedding tears in this wicked old system...I will lose flight...and Satan will snatch me out of the air and tear me apart. I hope this has helped even one person understand why they cry...and why they should view it as a sign of strength... instead of the weakness Satan would like you to see it as.

I liked Br. Jackson's comments in the 1st part of his talk. He pleasantly chided us on our previous anticipation of the number of anointed dwindling in old age. The picture of two old men with cane and walker being the last anointed was cute. But it did bring out our misconception of the time of the end.

During the Annual Meeting, it was stated that this information would be presented in December and January, which indicated at least two parts in two months. They could release each talk one per week and the same words would apply. We have never done that before.

I was reminding myself as to why we missed such an obvious truth. Then I remembered the other verses in Rev 17. Rev 17:12-18...“12 The ten horns that you saw mean ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they do receive authority as kings for one hour with the wild beast. 13 These have one thought, so they give their power and authority to the wild beast. 14 These will battle with the Lamb, but because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, the Lamb will conquer them. Also, those with him who are called and chosen and faithful will do so.” 15 He said to me: “The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is sitting, mean peoples and crowds and nations and tongues. 16 And the ten horns that you saw and the wild beast, these will hate the prostitute and will make her devastated and naked, and they will eat up her flesh and completely burn her with fire. 17 For God put it into their hearts to carry out his thought, yes, to carry out their one thought by giving their kingdom to the wild beast, until the words of God will have been accomplished.18 And the woman whom you saw means the great city that has a kingdom over the kings of the earth.” It was verse 16 that threw us off. John goes from talking about the 'ten horns ' (kings), getting power and then submitting to the UN and their all battling with the Lamb Jesus and his army. That takes care of verses 12-14. Then he shifts gears and in verse 15 mentions the Great Harlot. It is followed by one verse that describes the destruction of BTG. That changes the subject, in verses 15-16. Then John goes back to the political leaders and their desire to give the power and authority to the UN. THIS is the one thought Jehovah had given them. So ends verse 17 (agreeing with verse 13). But it ends with an after-thought in verse 18 giving identification of BTG. It was the 'bookends' verses that threw us off. Verse 15 identifies the Harlot, verse 16 describes the Harlot being destroyed by the UN and verse 18 reminds us of who she was. But the verse 17 in the middle is tied with the other two and we missed that. So it wasn't like we couldn't read the Bible, we just need to be picky about the order of verses. Of course, the fact that it actually 'says' what God's one thought was is a little embarassing. We allowed a verse to misdirect our attention. We have hated BTG for so long we 'knew' it had to be God's 'one thought'...didn't it?

Found it very funny the experience of the 2 children at the patterson visitors center. One child who thought the ancient craftsmen were resurrected ones. And the other who thought they were from the past and gladly showed off their future electronic bibles. Also funny was the fact the bethel commissary now sells beard butter. First time I've heard of such a product.🤣

I really enjoyed part 1 of the annual meeting 😊 My favorite type of scripture is prophecy, so my favorite talk was brother Jackson’s. When he read Revelation 17:12 where it says the kings rule “for one hour with the wild beast”, I couldn’t help but think of how some friends have expressed concern that the great tribulation could last years. If the “one hour” is also a short period of time from a human standpoint, that would mean the great tribulation would be short in duration.

Just now released and available for free download is a new publication titled Jehovah's Witnesses published by Cambridge Elements -New Religious Movements by Jolene Chu at World Headquarters and Ollimatti at the European Association of Jehovah's Witnessses published by Cambridge University Press of 75 pages. It truly is an excellent work of scholarship and makes one very proud to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses despite much hostility against us. This new publication is Good News- the most refreshing and spiritually upbuilding. Enjoy! scholar JW

I too enjoyed Brother Jackson's talk. Sometimes it has seemed like we are on the slow boat to the GT. So I'm glad that I can quit looking for signs as if the GT is going to still take time as it doesn't seem like right now that any nation can agree on anything much less unitedly give their power to the UN. It is reassuring to me that it most likely will happen at a time that isn't obvious because it will be Jehovah's hand not the nations. This system is exhausting and some days I'm just over it. So good reminder that we shouldn't be complacent but keep busy in serving Jehovah.

Just like to bring up 1 Pet. 2:17 here. There’s a place for humour, but as Jehovah’s people, we have to be careful about what we say, especially on the internet. A lot of things cross my mind when watching politicians, but that doesn’t mean that it would be a good idea to share any of them. Just my opinion, FWIW.

We were reminded that for many years we have explained this scripture (Rev 17:17) as indicating that at the beginning of the Great Tribulation, Jehovah would put the thought of destroying false religion or Babylon the Great into the mind of those leaders and members of the United Nations. But that is not what that scriptures says. It says that jehovah would put into thier minds the need togive allof their power and authority to the UN. So it is not the destruction of BTG that indicates that the GT has begun. It is the momentous time when the UN becomes all powerful or one world government that would be the key.

The light is definitely getting brighter. From the year 1960, I have seen so many changes. This new clarification proves to me that Jehovah is allowing us to see what is so near at hand. Proof that our God, Jehovah is supporting us and is in control of what is soon to take place. Helps me not to fear the tribulation, Jehovah will protect all his people.

This is my recent experience (briefly), before the operation... Blood_My experience with Doctors.pdf

I like-wise remember in the late 60's and early 70's watching the number dip under 20,000, and get to around 12k. I think we had assembled a few misconceptions like 1975, 1935 and our understanding of 'generation', all combined to fuel our conclusion. I specifically remember a study article reviewing points that showed we were 'near the end'. One point was that the number of anointed ones was very low. As the sheep are judged on the basis of 'giving a drink' to Christ's brothers... (and the number is low), the end is nigh! Today however, 'generation' has been revisited, and 47 year olds are appointed to the GB. I enjoy the light getting brighter. My eyes will adjust. We are still on the right path with the right organisation.

Brother Jackson s talk about the new understanding on Rev. 17:17 is the last talk 🙏🫶🥰 we have a lot to discuss with everyone in the congregation now 😘

We did not see the full scope of the times back then. Today, its different. More light has been shed on the scriptures, more understanding of both Daniel and Revelation and, all prophecies have been fulfilled through out the years with the exception of one or two. Today, we can see the times that we are living in as chaotic and tumultous. Times that we have never seen before. The end cannot be continuously postponed. That is not loving of Jehovah. he will not dangle something desirable in front of us and continue to pull it away. NO. He has given the signs in these last days. The whole association of the brothers can feel it and, see it if you will. No the end is not far off. When we least expect Jehovah will do His peculiar thing. It will take an act of God to end this system. Like Bro. Jackson said, it will not be gradual it will be instantaneous. So we do not want to postpone his day as if its still in the distant future.

The feeling I have … just a feeling after this anual meeting is that the future developments may happen a bit differently than expected and written in our publications. Now I read Bible prophecy again over and over and things seem a bit different. Not that things won’t happen. Its just the sequence of events seem a bit different now. I keep that opinion to my self but I can say that now I feel MORE like the Great Tribulation can start ANYTIME.

I really enjoyed the final part of Brother Jacksons talk. It's a good reminder that we shouldn't be looking too intently at what the governments are doing or what we expect them to do. We shouldn't mentally push Jehovah's timeline forward or backwards. But now we’re back to our subject again, you see, gradually things happen. So we might say, ‘Well, yes, gradually, I see Babylon the Great is losing influence in some places —maybe not yet—’ But don’t expect that you’ll see governments gradually wanting to give over power. They don’t want to do that. It takes an act of God! Jehovah will “put it into their hearts.” This will occur with suddenness. Yes, then the great tribulation will start —a sudden change, not something that happens gradually. So, what have we learned in our discussion? Well, yes, some things change gradually. But, brothers and sisters, remember there are some sudden things that are about to occur. Let’s remember the two things as a reminder. First of all, the remaining anointed ones will suddenly be taken to heaven while they are still very active. Matt 24:31 The second one, Jehovah will suddenly move the nations to give their political power to the United Nations. Rev 17:12,13,17 So, what’s the takeaway? Don’t be complacent. Don’t think, ‘Oh, this is going to gradually change.’ No, some things won’t gradually change. They will occur suddenly as acts of God! So be ready, and don’t be surprised by sudden change!

https://jw-russia.org/en/news/2024/11/130920.html On November 11, 2024, Aleksandr Lubin, convicted in the case of extremism, died at the age of 68. The disabled person was kept in a pre-trial detention center for almost a month and released only after the intervention of the ECHR, it was difficult for him to go to every court hearing, and after the verdict his condition became critical. Aleksandr Lubin became the 12th Jehovah's Witness in Russia to die while under investigation. This was the last update about him on JW.org UPDATE—BROTHER FINED | “Commit Your Way to Jehovah” https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=702024076&srcid=share

While this is an online community of Jehovah's Witnesses, let's not lose sight this is a social media site. It is not a necessity to be here and if anyone chooses to not be a member of this website that does not make them spiritually weak. We have a lot of good friends here online and we have wondefiu upbuilding conversations and online association. It's just our spirituality is not dependent on a website like this one.

Exactly, I’ve just listened to that talk yet again and towards the end he says twice that it will be the nations giving their power to the UN in order to give it teeth that will cause the destruction of BTG that will signal the start of the GT what is interesting to me is that nowhere in this talk does he mention peace and security but instead he talks about sudden changes… which leads me to think that these events will happen so fast that they may be slightly out of sync with what we’ve always thought.. Events will happen on top of each other… whichever way it is doesn’t really matter at all I also noted that those who decide to take sides with Jehovah at that time will be like the Egyptians and have to make a snap decision I honestly feel that we don’t have long to wait now

I want to share with you how the lyrics to Audrey's song became a blessing and used me to bring comfort to an elderly sister who tonight was feeling sad because 25 years ago her husband died. I emailed her the mp3 file and copied the lyrics for her. Then I sent her a text telling her to check her email. She replied back, sharing with me that this was the anniversary of her husband's death. She was having a different night. The song and lyrics brought her comfort. I took a screenshot of her message. Thank you again for being a precious gift from Jehovah.

The wonderful thing is is the fact we are being prepared for what is coming, right now.Jehovah will see to it that we have the information we need, when we need it. Soak up what you can, as our dear Father is paving the way for survival of his people. I’m tired. (Age) and excited at the same time. We have gotten so many blessings, (changes?) that if I think hard, I tend to be overwhelmed. And this is not the time to get overwhelmed. “Buckle up, Buttercup”. I tell mysełf.

Summary Jehovah's Witnesses began as an informal Bible study group in the 1870s that sought to recover first-century Christian beliefs and practices. They disseminated literature announcing the expected reign of God's Kingdom and called themselves Bible Students. In 1931, they adopted the name Jehovah's Witnesses, epitomizing their belief in the Christian obligation to preach the gospel worldwide. Known for their ethic of nonviolence and their evangelizing work, and despite worshipping freely in most countries, Witnesses are subject to controversy, particularly vis-à-vis mainstream Christianity, the State, and secularized societies. The authors are practicing Jehovah's Witnesses who present this work as neither apologia nor official account, but as an emic description of the history, beliefs, identity, and organizational structure of Witnesses, and their societal interactions. While briefly covering main controversies, this Element focuses on the culture and lived experience of the millions comprising the Witness community.

I can see Armageddon is right at our front door soon. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/coffee-gets-even-pricier-futures-114240796.html When ordinary people cannot afford coffee, then chaos will rule. People will throw their money into the streets, maybe without having their coffee to do it too. I will pray for all you coffee freaks out there.

My own note to add, from the Research guide for Is 40:31: The eagle does not soar and glide long distances solely in its own power. A draft of warm air gives it the lift it needs, enabling the eagle to conserve energy. We need to ask Jehovah for a lift to keep us going - Holy Spirit. When you see a mighty bird soaring higher and higher in the sky with hardly a beat of its wings, remember that Jehovah can give you strength to rise above your problems.

Draft resolution submitted by the President of the General Assembly The Pact for the Future (Snippets): Action 12. We will plan for the future and strengthen our collective efforts to turbocharge the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by 2030 and beyond. # 33. The United Nations has an indispensable role in the maintenance of international peace and security. Our efforts to urgently address accumulating and diverse threats to international peace and security, on land, sea, in the air, in outer space and in cyberspace, should be supported by efforts to rebuild trust, strengthen solidarity, and deepen international cooperation, including through the intensified use of diplomacy. We take note of the New Agenda for Peace. Action 39. We will reform the UN Security Council, recognizing the urgent need to make it more representative, inclusive, transparent, efficient, effective, democratic and accountable. Action 41. We will strengthen the response of the Security Council for the maintenance of international peace and security and its relationship with the General Assembly. Action 45. We will strengthen the United Nations system. # 73. We underline the importance of the United Nations system remaining effective, efficient and impactful. We decide to: (a) Achieve a more agile, responsive and resilient United Nations, in particular by enhancing the Organization’s capabilities in innovation, data analytics, digital transformation, strategic foresight and behavioral science to better support Member States and deliver on its mandates. —————- So imagine a newly empowered United Nations. Efficient and competent. Well organized to turn against BTG then later to Jehovah’s people.

This is a subtle point. We used to anticipate the cry of P&S as the next thing. But that cry of P&S actually originates with the devil. It's his misleading propaganda. Demon-inspired propaganda will fill the earth, misleading most. Now, the pieces fit together much better. Jehovah causes the nations to empower the UN to address certain problems, afterward, Satan fills the earth with deceptive propaganda to mislead most. Perhaps the propaganda will be that the now empowered UN will lead to P&S, like the nations have finally found the solution that has eluded them.

Listening in to the news and they mentioned how no one could have predicted yesterday what is happening in South Korea today. I immediately thought of Bro. Jackson's talk. Things can change so quickly.

I’d rather the end come now and Jehovah give a pass to all those living in lands that don’t hear the good news. 😀

here's the two ends of the graph joined up:

Geralyn, what you say in that post is quite reasonable. It's fine to be informed. We cannot simply accept everything we hear. That's true. I agree that not arguing with people who are into conspiracies is the best approach too. After all, we don't go in service to argue about politics, but to give them the message of the Kingdom. That balanced approach is fine and is not what the Slave warns about. However, I don't typically see that balanced approach in people who are into conspiracies. They are often obsessed and spend all day watching Youtube videos about those subjects. They try to convince everybody of their theories and in fact it's like they are unable to have a conversation about any other subject. Many times they start confusing their theories with Bible truth, and misapply scriptures to say they have the divine obligation to spread their theories as if they were the good news. You can see that here at the forums. There are a number of members with hundreds of posts, and all of them are about vaccines, covid and other conspiracies, often using political language. Not a single post about spiritual matters. That is what the Slave warns against. Do you remember the demo in the circuit assembly last year? It doesn't matter if the latest viral video about a corrupt government is true or not. It doesn't serve any purpose, it's discouraging and a waste of time. We don't want to watch it. It's good to be informed but we don't need to delve into Satan's deep things. We have much better things to spend our time in.

Brother, have you any idea just how very special you are. When you write something like this, i just settle down, knowing it will be a good read. Sometimes what you share just stays with me. A lesson learned. Thank you for you allowing yourself to be yourself! And sharing…

1 Kings. 22:19-23 Jehovah will create the trigger at the exact point he needs to fulfill his schedule. I think by now with all these understandings it’s pointless to look for a trend or a sign or a reason for the power to be hand over to UN

Every stored file (written, audio or video) has a name to locate it among the millions of pieces of data we store. When you look at it, download it, store it on your computer or whatever, you use that name. Some files are similar, like all Gilead Graduations or all Annual Meetings or all GB Updates. So their names or URL numbers are very similar. In many cases they just change a single value or number to tell them apart. JWTalk does not allow the posting of future URL numbers that have not been released yet. Once they are released, we can post them as direct links to the content. Br. Splane gave the last talk in the Annual Meeting and it was about the 2025 yeartext. That video of his talk was already released a month ago. You can find it in different ways but it is already public. The main identifying number in that link was "jwb-120". So no matter how you locate the file, it has that number. Below are four different ways or locations to find this video. I have highlighted the number in question. One of these choices is my personal computer location where it is downloaded. But they all use the number 120. Will the future release of the AM use this URL number? Br. Splane's talk is part of that meeting. Or will they use a different number because these AM talks are released in a different month? Time will tell.

Beautifully said. I’ve been in a few other JW platforms but none have been as safe, encouraging or spiritual as this site. Thank you to all who support it, the admins, the and moderators for the diligent work into this forum. Thank you Tim1980 for saying it in such a poetic way.

I think P&S will happen after Jehovah giving the nations power to the UN for one hour.

His wife needs Jehovah's holy spirit to comfort her in her grief. As for Aleksandr, no doubt he is now resting in the safest place there is, in Jehovah's memory, and we will see him again very soon. ❣️ (Job 14:15)

Sometimes, just sometimes, I'm busy doing day to day things, and I stand still in awe ... we are almost done with this tired old world .... all you guys are my forever family ... (if Jehovah wills me to be there) ... we might be doing normal things ... but these are anything but normal times. Like the Israelites... they got up that morning ... had whatever they drank instead of coffee ... by evening they were leaving Egypt. It's a wow factor.
