China has military drill near taiwan Philippines is preparing for war too . It may affect the country.

Easy to control .. when I open my mouth to say something "stupid" I slam donut into my mouth ...LOL If the events in the world keep up this pace I will be very fat soon! 😂

Don't be too quick to assume this. It's Satan's imperfect world. Perhaps this particular incident might not happen but something just as unjust would easily befall someone else. These are the situations that test our neutrality. The way we react to injustice can become influenced by whichever side is winning our subconscious heart. The only sure cure for injustice is God's Kingdom.

Hard to react to this without breaking neutrality

It will be horrible if/when it happens to our people 😕 😢

He was not in the US ilegally: An immigration judge in 2019 had granted him protection from being deported back to El Salvador, where Abrego Garcia was likely to face persecution by local gangs. He had a legal work permit issued by the Department of Homeland Security, his lawyer said. https://apnews.com/article/el-salvador-deportation-maryland-man-trump-c21e54f77c1e6716e2998c2463f6650b It is difficult to follow the legal process for sanctuary, but when someone manages to navigate it and STILL gets deported - that makes it hard to get others to follow the law - like he did.

I woke up today sis concerned and excited. Will we see Jehovah's hand manipulating events and at the same time protecting and caring for his people? I feel awe inspiring things are about to happen.

Thursday, April 3 Trembling at men is a snare, but the one trusting in Jehovah will be protected.—Prov. 29:25. High Priest Jehoiada feared Jehovah. This was evident when Jezebel’s daughter, Athaliah, usurped the throne in Judah. She was ruthless and so greedy for power that she tried to murder the entire royal line—her own grandsons! (2 Chron. 22:10, 11) One of those children—Jehoash—survived because Jehoiada’s wife, Jehoshabeath, rescued him. She and her husband hid the child and took care of him. In this way Jehoiada and Jehoshabeath helped preserve the Davidic line of kings. Jehoiada was loyal to Jehovah and did not tremble in fear of Athaliah. When Jehoash was seven years old, Jehoiada again proved his loyalty to Jehovah. He formed a plan. If it succeeded, Jehoash would become king, David’s rightful heir. If the plan failed, however, Jehoiada would almost certainly lose his life. With Jehovah’s blessing, the plan succeeded. w23.06 17 ¶12-13

This can crash world economy real bad which can be a reason for given power to UN to rule the world and to confiscate all riches from BTG. 🤔

I said he came to the US illegally: Entering a country illegally is the definition of "not following the law", but that wasn't even my point. The topic I addressed was not if it was legal to deport him or if he had a right to be in the US, but why he couldn't be brought back immediately. The reason: he is not a US citizen, so the US cannot demand to have him returned, they can only ask politely. I am not taking sides on the deportation issue, I am only explaining why it's not so easy to reverse.

I noticed Russia is missing. "U.S. total goods trade with Russia were an estimated $3.5 billion in 2024. " https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/europe-middle-east/russia-and-eurasia/russia Russia must be treating the US very well

Does anyone among the friends have a table showing the years in which the videos in the series about the Life and Ministry of Jesus will be released, please?

Yes, wood is beautiful, warm, inviting, natural. A house for me and my husband and the smaller one for dad when he comes back.

So 40 languages needed to reach 99% of human population. That means reaching 8.01 bilion people. We translate publications into additional 1061 languages. Well, that’s pretty impressive if you ask me. Anyway, the number of languages on jw.org will no doubt increase but the top limit is 4000 languages. However, as @jwhess pointed out a lot of these languages are spoken by a few thousand people so my guess is it’s not practical to reach more than 1500-2000 languages. Speakers of this language minority groups often know other more popular language - I guess that’s often the case in South America either Spanish. Wysłane z iPhone za pomocą Tapatalk

Not that it matters, and this is off-topic, but... To understand the difference between liberal and conservative, think about spreading butter or spending money. If a person puts tons of butter on their bread or toast or whatever, they are described as applying the butter liberally. On the other hand, if they are very careful and barely use any butter, they are being conservative with it. They are conserving their butter. Same with money. A person who spends money like it is no object is liberally spreading their money. Someone that scrimps and saves and never spends a dime is conservative with their money. A politically liberal person wants to spread government agencies and support all over as far and as wide as they can go and wants as many people as possible to qualify for those benefits no matter the cost. A politically conservative person wants to limit those resources as much as possible and believes they should be spread only on what is absolutely needed. People who need assistance should turn to organizations and agencies other than government in order to find aid. It's helpful to know what conservatives and liberals care about in a general sense as this helps us present Bible truths that appeal to them. A liberal will favor health care for all. Jehovah's Kingdom is the only government that can perfectly provide that universal heathcare for everyone. A conservative hates government waste. Jehovah's Kingdom is the only government that will eliminate government waste and overspending. Ironically, however, liberals give lip service to environmental causes (conservation) whereas conservatives favor exploiting resources. Another irony is liberals are pro-abortion but against the death penalty while conservatives want to ban abortion but favor the death penalty. Now back to the show

I asked AI some questions: [emoji3591] How many languages have written form? Out of the approximately 7,100 languages spoken today, only about 4,000 have a written form. The rest are purely oral, with no standardized writing system. Many indigenous and minority languages rely entirely on oral tradition, while others have only recently developed writing systems through linguistic documentation efforts. Some languages once had writing systems but lost them over time. [emoji3591] If I wanted to translate a book so 99% of human population can read it in their native language, how many languages should it be translated into? To ensure that a book is accessible to 99% of the world’s population in their native language, translations would need to cover approximately 30 to 40 languages. This estimate is based on the cumulative percentage of native speakers for the most widely spoken languages. Here is a list of languages that, when combined, would cover approximately 99% of the global population: 1. Mandarin Chinese  2. Spanish 3. English  4. Arabic 5. Hindi 6. Bengali 7. Portuguese  8. Russian 9. Japanese 10. Western Punjabi  11. Javanese  12. German 13. Korean 14. French 15. Telugu 16. Marathi 17. Turkish 18. Tamil 19. Vietnamese 20. Italian 21. Urdu 22. Gujarati 23. Polish 24. Ukrainian 25. Persian (Farsi) 26. Malayalam 27. Kannada 28. Oriya (Odia) 29. Maithili 30. Thai 31. Burmese  32. Tagalog (Filipino) 33. Yue Chinese (Cantonese) 34. Swahili 35. Romanian  36. Dutch 37. Hausa 38. Pashto 39. Amharic 40. Yoruba Translating your book into these languages would make it accessible to the vast majority of people worldwide in their native tongues.

Yes, but if he’s been here that long, he’s had a lot of time to “get right” with the law. The fact that he didn’t tells me that he wanted to continue to fly under the radar. He fathered children, probably hoping it would - as it has done for so many others - “anchor” him to the U.S. He didn’t seem to think too much about how his children would feel if Immigration caught up with him. I don’t feel sorry for him, but I do feel sorry for his son.

I'm most sorry for those who have been here since infancy, toddlers - never knowing their native country - but deported anyway. Not thieves or murderers, but husbands, fathers or young children. I read of such an example yesterday. The man was arrested in front of his young son when they were on the way to school. He's been in the U.S. since he was two years old, never been to El Salvador. But he's going now.. This entire system is so horrible. A merciless, ignorant, horrible system. Come, Lord Jesus.

I was watching a good classic with the family (Beverly hills cop 3) when suddenly a wild NWT appeared Do you know other positive examples like this?

Here is an article about him. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/the-real-story-of-the-maryland-father-deported-to-el-salvador-by-mistake/ar-AA1CeQkP?ocid=socialshare

Off-topic: With all this tariff trade war stuff, investors are hedging to gold for stability. XAUUSD is trading at over $3100/ounce. If you have any gold you don't mind selling, I don't know maybe it'll give you a little "peace" to your financial "security" temporarily. I guess nobody wanted to hedge into BTC(Bitcoin). Smart. Very smart.

I saw that they admitted to a clerical error. Why can’t they get him back?!?!?!?

This past weekend, an admitted administrative error sent someone to an El Salvador prison. An error. But now, since the man is gone, nothing "can" be done about it. 😒

And then the wrath of the KOTS came.. and huge tariffs were introduced on Russian donuts and chocolate. All Russian northern donut and chocolate factories ceased production. Their sweet-toothed customers were left to revolt! The KOTN's coffee breaks were ruined, his snacks were no more. These reports form the north enraged the KOTN and he came to his end. LOL

Yep, I have the same problem on the JW Library app on all my Apple devices. I tried my Windows desktop app and it doesn't do it on that one, so only the app on my Apple devices are affected.

"Cultural Christians" are people who recognize that it's ideal when your neighbors don't lie, cheat, or steal, but they don't want to bother worshipping the God who created those standards. In other words, they like the fruitage of Christian ethics, but they don't want to cultivate the garden that grows them.

(2 Timothy 3:5) 5 having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=nwtsty&srctype=wol&bible=55003005&srcid=share Definitely applies in this case.

I think it's an interesting on one side you have people saying that they don't want undocumented people in this country and we have laws they should be obeying on the other hand you have people who say we need them here but yet they make it almost impossible for them to come here legally so for the ones here that are undocumented what are the incentives for them to become citizens of the United states I just find this whole being interesting some people would say well they need help and that's why they come here well there are U.S. citizens who need help who may not be receiving the help they need or getting very little of it so I would ask is it OK to break the law if you need help

Obviously, no system in this world is perfect. I’m sure those that were taken and who turned out to be citizens were released/returned. As to papers, I said ‘legal residents,’ not citizens. Legal residents is a legal term that refers to people here who have a green card, and have not yet become citizens. US citizens do not have to carry any papers. And I do have sympathy, especially for the children, but being kind and sympathetic does not mean turning a blind eye to lawlessness. What is happening now is enforcement of laws that were passed decades ago. And the U.S. has been the least harsh in this area. When I moved to the UK in 1978 and when my parents moved to Switzerland and Germany in the late 1950’s, we all had to go to the police station within 24 hours of reaching our final destination and register. If we didn’t, we could be picked up at any time and escorted to the next available transatlantic flight. If you move to Mexico without permission, and the authorities find you, you are deported. This is what happens in every country. Years ago, where I am right now, brothers from the English speaking congregations, if they were bilingual, were encouraged to move to the Spanish congregation in our area. Why? Even though the Spanish congregation had brothers who were spiritually strong, they were not considered by the Society to be in good standing, due to their immigration status, so could not be appointed as servants.

Sad thing is that they're also pulling people who ARE citizens- Puerto Ricans, Native Americans.. shucks, I'm regularly asked if I speak Spanish. What papers should be carried? It would be nice if we could have kinder, more empathetic feelings for those who will be hurt in these proceedings.. 😔

What are peoples thoughts on this? If you know the background on this, was this a hit-back at the rapper Drake? Not going to lie, my mouth did drop when I saw 'Sister' Serena dance on THAT particular song?

While looking at the 2024 Service Year Report I was reminded yet again that “I wish” the header (top line) would be frozen in these tables, so when you’ve scrolled down many lines to say Mexico or Zambia, you still see the stationary header. It’s a small thing in the big scheme of things, but sure would make perusing these reports a lot easier. Don’t even know if such a thing is possible on a website table.

JW in the wild, lol i was listening and doom scrolling facebook while watching 72 dangerous animals in Australia when i heard "I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses and i dont take blood transfusions". Dude was bitten and lost his leg in a shark attack. Thought it was a cool find

Poor Brother Nelson..fans loved him before the Truth, fans loved him after the Truth. Even after he passed away, I still see a lot of his fans talking about his music (mostly lyrics) change but always appreciating the music. I look forward to hearing what he comes up with in the new world!

'Prince is an active Witness' oh no.... I have some bad news for you about if Prince is active 🫣🥺 Though when i talked to a friend about being a witness, he mentiomed that when Prince became one, it pissed off his fans because he wanted to make more cleaner songs.

I remember a scene from the movie Scooby-Doo 2 (the live-action), and I had to go check to see if it wasn’t my imagination (since I watched it as a kid). Scooby and his gang fall into a trapdoor when they ring the doorbell of a house, and they’re imprisoned in some kind of sphere. But there are already other people trapped there, who rang the doorbell before them: a Girl Scout selling cookies, and two men in suits holding what look like books with pictures of lighthouses, asking "have you heard the good news?". I’m almost absolutely sure those men weren’t meant to represent Mormons. 😅

So, are you saying the movie budget was so low they had to use a free Bible as a prop?
