From UN.org:

"The International Day of Peace was established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly. Two decades later, in 2001, the General Assembly unanimously voted to designate the Day as a period of non-violence and cease-fire."

This is what was happening on the same day last year. Doesn't appear to be very peaceful in the Russian-Ukraine war. https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/russia-ukraine-war-news-09-21-22/index.html

There was an anti-war protest in Russia mentioned at the bottom of the article: Hundreds have been detained across Russia in a crackdown on anti-war protests

As long as Ukrainian War is still on 

no signs of peace and security 

and even if a ceasefire sets in place or even that conflict ends there s no sure that the peace and security cry will happen either…

we just got to be patient

this wicked system can last a few months or more years.

Nothing has changed since I learned the truth back in 1974: We don’t know the day of the great tribulation

We do not know why they will say P&S. Time will tell.

We all understand what you mean.   We're still waiting  .    .    .

 

But, when you think about it, a great deal has changed.

According to a statement made by one of the GB members "the shadow of Jehovah's sword can be seen"   It will be here soon enough.  Hang on. Please.

As Br. Sanderson put it:   "Yet as bad as world conditions are now, Jesus said they'll get worse.  Worse than they've ever been in all of this world's terrible history.  Although we need to prepare in practical ways, we cannot prepare for everything".

At Matthew 24:44 Jesus said: On this account, you too prove yourselves ready, because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.

 

So we cannot categorically state that this has to happen .... or it can't happen before this or while that .... because it's precisely at that time that it possibly could come.

 

This is why Jesus told us to prove ourselves ready. Although we may be surprised it happens when it does, because we didn't expect it to be at that point, we won't be caught unprepared.

"Buying a Sandwich moment" can change the world instantly. 

Before anyone puts "confused" emoji. 

Please think for a minute, because there is a sense (bit hidden though) in a sandwich comment. 

Something big happened in the past that changed history as we know it. 

 

Can anyone guess what it is?  

[JennyM]

Theres a huge difference in 20 yrs in Jehovah's organization. 

Shorten meeting time 

Magazine for public is almost none.

We are being prepared for great tribulation.

Prove ready even to death... May not come in your life time.   Death is a wake up call to citizenship when resurected.

He was the Earl of Sandwich?

 

There is a story that a sandwich gave the assassin the opportunity to kill the Archduke.

(Austria) The anniversary of which is June 28. The big guns didn't start until August. When the smoke cleared (if it ever did), mapmakers redrew the borders of Europe and created new countries. Communism was from then on, taken seriously after 1917. The Peace(?) talks laid the groundwork for part 2 of the war in Europe. 1995 saw a reunited Germany deciding to pay its debts: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/germany-to-pay-interest-that-dates-from-ww-i-1.969239

Whew!

There seems to some doubt about the sandwich according to eyewitnesses, but the point was that he came out of a restaurant or pub and was just a few feet away from the target. I'm sure he had a bite to eat then left the pub.

[bagwell1987]

I understand that when the Archduke asked to be driven back to the spot where the grenade went off they were supposed to take a different route but the driver didn't get told. By the time they were back in front of the deli, where Princip was standing out front, the driver suddenly stopped and tried to turn around but the car stalled. That's when Princip pulled his gun. 

I never knew there were 10 men laying in wait.

Look at how events unrolled, what's the likelihood of that car stalling right in front of him? It then only took a few weeks, by August, to cause war. Nations were being stirred up and maneuvered. Perhaps it could happen that way for us.

Thought there were 6.

The first took cyanide after the failed grenade and jumped into the river to drown. The cyanide expired and the river was only 4 inches deep!! They saw the war break out but died in prison of TB in 1918.

[bagwell1987]

Interesting Percy, I thought only Princip died of TB. Guess I didn't research enough. But it was an interesting delve into history huh? So many forgotten tid bits that led up to a world war.

I keep thinking about how many books may be written in the NS to clear up misunderstandings and out right lies of the past. I look forward to that.
