The problem is that we are not that centralized. All the branches would get that something is fishy so they would not translate and publish this weird content.

Watchtower February 2022 

As the end of this system of things draws near, we need to trust in Jehovah’s way of doing things as never before. Why? During the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical.

Imagine that when religions are shut down, the government arrests all the members of the Governing Body, just as happened in 1919. Then it takes control of the JW website and uses artificial intelligence—which by then will be far more advanced than it is today—to create videos pretending to be the Governing Body, making Broadcasting programs and giving “strange” new instructions.

What would be the chances that even some of the chosen ones might be deceived?
 It will be impossible to tell whether a video is real or fake

To me what you purpose propose is that Jehovah's organization would become totally disorganized and no one would he able to tell what's truth or not.  Even those taking the lead.  I just can't see the head of the congregation leaving us to fend for ourselves like that. If that happened we'd all be lost

I dont think Jehovah will let jw website be  corrupted.. Our lesson yesterday shows that He will protect us spiritually.

Warning us to not be fooled by AI the brothers put out a video.

 

A video that went world wide, supposedly from our brothers. Even though it was an excellent likeness to our brother we could clearly tell it wasn't our brother by way of how he spoke. The AI figure talked in a "religious" format but not one thats our way of speaking. We can't be fooled if we pay attention to the little things Satan may use to trip us up. 

Also, I never think Jehovah will just leave us hanging. He's never done that to his people, he protects as he gives us the tools to stay prepared as well.

Personal opinion here, just a guess.

Is it possible that we will soon have our own internet not linked with WWW, eliminating our connection to this old system. I think it may be something we could do that will stay with us into the NS.

Thats possible It'll take time. I like hologram communication.

I found this interesting. Strictly speaking about the length of world powers alone: I asked AI and history shows that world powers rarely dominate the world over 100-120 years. That time period is coming up for the American World Power. So only basing off of that, we should see a new World Power within our lifetime (which we know to be God's kingdom) 

 

We are living in critical times.

The sheep listen to the shepherd’s voice; there is no artificial intelligence capable of taking away our faith and certainty. Concerning anything that seems out of the ordinary, we will have the discernment to distinguish right from wrong

[Tish Hues]

Well Iran has a new leader who is cut from the same cloth and still continues to fight for God 🙄 

 

The world continues to call it a war driven by religion, now of course we need the nations to give their power to the UN in order to turn on religion BTG …

 

May that happen soon because we are all so so tired and many of us have been patiently waiting for over 50 years but we won’t stop now, the end is definitely is sight and drawing to a very swift conclusion.

 

 We live in very exciting times and as a GB member said it’s perfectly normal to feel very slightly apprehensive but we put our trust in Jehovah, it’s a time to hold our heads up and stand firm 🥰

No need to have internet access during hard times if we do personal study thoroughly and always attend meeting. Then Jehovah's holy spirit will help us (John 14:26)

Also elders are great help during critical times, they are trained with that.

But not unscriptural.

 

The worst they could convince us to so is to turn ourselves in to the cops. Jehovah would not abandon us for falling for that, but if they told us to renounce our faith and continue being a Witness privately? We need to take responsibility for our own faith and be able to reject such an obviously Satanic lie.

The best connection with God is Bible so we can manage without internet

Now is a time to strenght our bonds with Jehova.

What about brothers or sisters in prisons or hospitals at GT?

What point are you trying to make? To me, you seem to be misapplying the point of the paragraph, so I want to first make sure I understand what you mean.

What if it turns out the inner room of protection is actually prison? Gather all of God's people together in one place (or everyone in the same region or area). This gets us out of the line of fire and puts us all together for mutual support and encouragement.

That's my point. Even "the worst" options could still be used by Jehovah to protect us, so we shouldn't fear falling for those kinds of traps. But if we can't discern that we shouldn't disavow Jehovah - that's on us.

No sign in sight on Iran war yet. 😢.

 

This is not a good sign. 

 

Do you think, purchasing a bike is good?

What do you mean by "no sign in sight"? Like on the war ending?
I think this war will be long

Sorry.. what i mean is  there's no sign on tv/news that this war will stop soon. Im jw and im  worried not only for me, my family  but also  to all people. 

[jwzhang]

I've been seeing an interesting (worldly) professor's perspective about the war on social media... Not going to share any clips or videos (But let me know if you want me to send it to you privately I guess)

The gist is he predicted the war, and where Iran was going to attack after the war, and his next prediction is that U.S. will lose this war, based on game theory and his educated guess🤔

That's the point!

Seven months after the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation declared jw.org to be extremist, the Russian authorities banned the official website of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The ban became effective on July 21, 2015.

During the Great Tribulation, they might shut down the JW.ORG servers. If someone tries to access the website, they might receive a message like: “Hmmm… can't reach this page.”

Artificial intelligence might also search for websites and forums related to religions and shut down their servers.

At that time, we may have only the Bible and the elders to guide us until Armageddon.

Perhaps when religions are banned, there could still be a short period of time for the Governing Body to send a final message. After the announcement that all religions are banned by UN, it might take some time for authorities around the world to shut down all religious websites and give the GB time to send a final message: Forget your cellphones😐Jesus will soon come as Executioner and Deliverer.

 

People today are addicted to the internet. All the time, they are scrolling through social media, news, and other websites. I read a message above saying that Jehovah would never allow JW.org to be shut down. But do you believe in Jehovah or in technology? Will Jehovah save his people only through a website?

We have the physical Bible, we have elders, and during the final part of the Great Tribulation, Jehovah may use angels or other miracles to save his people.

Jenny, are you saying that the United States, as a superpower, will only lose at Armageddon? As an Anglo-American power, only the rock that represents the Kingdom of God can bring an end to its power. I also believe that the United States will not lose.
