May the Kingdom of God come quickly, I'm sorry for our brothers in that explosion at the congress in India, I saw it in JW and also in the thread that already talks about this subject.😥😥😥

Of the entire Babylonian empire, the one who bears the greatest blame is Christianity, the clergy, the Catholic Church, is this information correct?  we usually talk a lot about the Arab religion, and others, but I see the Vatican, the Pope in the central position as someone in the position of a queen who thinks she will never cry, commits prostitution with the politicians of the world, meddles in everything, it will be interesting when the UN attacks the Vatican itself and then other religions, it is considered a country with its own money, it seems that it is untouchable, comment on the subject.

As Vatican a center of Catholic church and Vatican involves in many scandal including sex abuse and money, absolutely it is one of the targets of UN at the start of GT.

We see the storm!  We will depend on Jehovah's backing however if not, we will remain faithful come what may.

 

Alot of these disturbances are happening in countries that are extremist and have been for years.  In the middle east they have been in chaos for centuries.

 

The end of this system most definitely is near.

It seems like every week people are getting more and more hostile to religion.  I used to think that Jehovah would have to put big ole ice block hooks into the jaws of the governments and give a nice yank.  Now, with the way religion is acting and people's attitudes, it seems like he can put a little fish hook in there jaws and gently pull them in that direction.  They won't need much "convincing."

This watchtower article is interesting 

dated 1999

by that time GB had few insight on how the GT would unfold.

Still this article compares the tribulation on the first century from 66EC to 70 EC to the GT that is about to burst. Based on Jesus prophecy and Daniel chapters 9 and 12

I like this article too because it puts all the prophecies on one straight line.

The mother of a brother in our congregation was at the convention.  She is fine, but they have friends and family who have been affected.

US and Israel considering peacekeeping force in Gaza

No one is really talking about this but there has been way more displaced people in Congo recently

[GeordieGirl]

And then there is this:

 

Thousands of Afghans living in Pakistan raced to the border on Tuesday ahead of a midnight deadline for undocumented foreigners to leave the country.

 

Pakistan says 1.7 million such people must leave by 1 November or face arrest and deportation. Most are Afghans.

Many refugees are terrified, having fled Afghanistan after the Taliban retook control in 2021. Others have been in Pakistan for decades.

It's obviously increased since then. The video, a couple of posts up, says 114 million.

There's now a netflix series called Mysteries of the Faith the Vatican is giving unprecedented access to some of the most famous holy relics.
