Looking over the information... It's not even that good a distraction. Most of the images are already publicly released, or from 50 years ago; there's no 'smoking gun'. One thing you can always count on a government to do is over-dramatize the trivia, while downplaying the fact.

There is your answer. Jehovah would not allow it. Theref6, it's not worth worrying about. The theory assumes time travel to the past is possible. This is yet another limiting factor to the theory. Why worry about something that is likely not even possible. Further, knowing what we know about the future, what would the moral implications be? Why would someone from the new system willingly choose to come to the past and expose themselves to Satan's sick and twisted world? What would the moral implications be of seeking to immerse oneself into the filth of this system? Why bother traveling back in time when everyone from those past events has been resurrected? Want to meet Einstein or Gengis Khan or Noah? Just go next door and say hi. Yes, I know seeing the historical events is an attraction, but is that really worth all the effort? People who propose such theories have no knowledge about Jehovah, his Kingdom, his purpose for the Earth, or what the immediate future holds.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a technical solution we implemented in our Kingdom Hall regarding the internet connection. As you know, the instructions from the organization state that every Hall with internet access should have a Wi-Fi router with a password, which can be given to publishers who need it. A simple and effective solution. In our Hall, however, we went a step further. In addition to the password-protected Wi-Fi for internal use, we set up a second open Wi-Fi network — no password required — but restricted exclusively to jw.org. This means that anyone connecting to this network can browse the organization's website and also download content through the JW Library app, while all other sites and services are automatically blocked. The practical result is that during meetings or study groups, brothers and sisters can connect freely without having to ask for a password, and use both jw.org and JW Library without any restrictions, while the network remains fully protected from inappropriate use. Regarding the internal network, the password-protected Wi-Fi is set as a hidden network — meaning it does not appear in the list of available networks and can only be connected to by manually entering the network name. This adds an extra layer of security for internal use. This solution requires an OPNsense firewall (which can run on an old unused PC or inexpensive dedicated hardware), a managed switch, and a Wi-Fi access point. The setup involves two separate networks: a hidden, password-protected LAN for internal use, and a dedicated VLAN with DNS filtering that allows only jw.org and its CDN subdomains. I want to make it clear that this is not meant as an alternative to the instructions received — those should always be followed. It is simply an additional option for Halls that already have the necessary hardware and want to offer something more convenient and automated for the brothers. In our specific situation, when this solution was presented to the IT department at Bethel, we were told that it fully satisfied the conditions of the instructions — and was actually considered more precise. If anyone is interested in the technical details or would like to know how to replicate this setup, I am happy to share more information. I hope this can be helpful to someone!

Sorry, I couldn’t find threads related to this particular study on the forum. I wanted to share this full report as it wasn’t available before, I only saw the summary of preliminary findings

Look at it this way: If, at any point in history, we develop time travel, we now have cover for going back to this time period.

Invented is sometimes used when all someone did was alter something someone else already made

Jabber Wocky was a nineteenth century nonsense poem by Lewis Carroll using words he invented.

Saturday, May 9 Declare his glory among the nations.—Ps. 96:3. We can glorify Jehovah by what we say about him. Jehovah’s people are invited to “sing to Jehovah,” to “praise his name,” to “proclaim the good news of his salvation,” and to “declare his glory among the nations.” (Ps. 96:1-3) All these are ways in which we can glorify our heavenly Father. (Acts 4:29) We can also glorify Jehovah with our valuable things. True worshippers have always honored Jehovah in that way. (Prov. 3:9) For example, the Israelites contributed toward building and maintaining the temple. (2 Ki. 12:4, 5; 1 Chron. 29:3-9) Caring disciples of Christ ministered to him and his apostles “from their belongings.” (Luke 8:1-3) First-century Christians also contributed relief aid for their spiritual brothers and sisters. (Acts 11:27-29) Today we too can glorify Jehovah by means of our voluntary donations. w25.01 4 ¶8; 5 ¶11

A person can sing Kingdom songs for fifty years and still never fully understand praise until sacrifice makes a sound only Jehovah hears.

Perhaps the episode involving the death of John the Baptist is something we should watch at home and in Convention—these two...

It’s true my brother. The sufferings are increasing and magnified each day among the friends I know. I feel like the start of the GT will be a relief because at least we’ll know for sure the time is super short until A day.
