Non-Farm Payroll and unemployment rates comes out every first Friday. It affects the Federal Reserve and it's tied to stocks, interest rates, bonds, and income. A major recession indicator.

We'll see if the economy’s collapsing. Money is just an imagined value. So people are fleeing into gold! Which is now $3300 an ounce. But 1 Peter 1:18 says even gold is corruptible. Ezekiel 7:18,19? 😬 A perfect storm. I sold it all and glad I invest in the Kingdom now. Not being dogmatic and just talking out loud but still it looks ugly.

saw this headline - President Trump saying I run the world. Reminded me of King Nebuchadnezzr

up on his ziggurat in the Daniel drama, just before Jehovah shows him who really rules.

 

 I just hope he doesn't build a 90 feet image and asking everyone to bow down to it. The only time I bow down is when I pick up crumbles of chocolate off the floor after I ate some. I can't let chocolate go to waste.

That is absolutely hilarious, and symbolically already true!

I use that one often in service.   So many people, in my experience, if they are religious at all, think it is God running things. Then I briefly explain the challenge at Genesis 3.

 

Man, If I truly thought God was currently ruling the world right now with all the problems we see, I would be an atheist.

 

All I know that, if the logic that the world is being run by God right now (being perfect as he is and his power), imagine the problems if Satan was running the show"  😨

Nice article, but it doesn't say anything about PS, GT, Armageddon or any world events. It's about us. 

It's a good reminder that Keeping on the Watch is a lot more that watching the news.

It is a very helpful way of presenting what makes the difference between Jehovah's Witnesses and others who claim to worship God.

Here is the latest on Ukraine war: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/us-pulls-out-of-formal-peace-talks-between-ukraine-and-russia/ar-AA1E2RkK?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=280a2c24f0314f918290a915fc62c60f&ei=72

 

You can see why that Jehovah is going to maneuver the nations to go to the UN.

The Watchtower, No. 1 2025 — "An End to War—How?"  — is now available on the JW website and app. This is the magazine for the September campaign.

The title implies that there's no doubt that wars will end. The question is How will they end.

 

I like how this is shown in the Spanish translation... with no question marks. It's not a question nor an assumption nor a guess —it'll happen for sure.

I think the title also implies that , come September, wars have not ended yet.

 

The campaign is only four months from now. So much can happen in four months.  India and Pakistan could be next.

It would be very timely if a big war was to happen in the mean time.

 Timely Watchtower on war. Check out this article: https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/politics/trump-budget-proposal-defense-spending

Wars are always happening. Don’t forget about the civil war in Myanmar. At any second there is always violent conflict. Which I why I know that these articles will resonate with people of all cultures, regardless of where they are.

I’m always on Red Alert for war. The person who shoots me better hit me with their first shot. Why? Before he pulls the trigger again, three Judge Rutherford books will hit him and it will have lasting results. These results will be so severe the even the Veterans Hospital cannot take care of him.

Well, it's like everything is coming to a close.

Julius Caesar was the first Pontifex Maximus decades before Jesus was born. And the KOTS (and also the KOTN) are remnants of the Roman Empire.

WASHINGTON - The White House on Friday posted an image of President Donald Trump dressed as the pope on X, sparking both backlash and glee on social media. 

The picture comes after Trump jokingly told reporters earlier this week that he’d like to be the next leader of the Roman Catholic Church following Pope Francis’ death. “That would be my number one choice,” he said at the time.
