Iām sure the JWs are just there to offer humanitarian aid without taking advantage of peopleās suffering to proselytise. Totally sure. Probably.

road to nowhere:
Yes, but that old clergycritter decided the second syllable was to be accented, no matter. That was my intent to show.
And youāre wrong. It is a regional US dialect, not the unique or arbitrary ādecision of one clergymanā.

The book of Daniel foretold a rivalry between āthe king of the northā and āthe king of the south.ā (Daniel 11:25-45) Watch the video Fulfilled ProphecyāDaniel Chapter 11 to learn why Russia and its allies can be identified as the king of the north.*
Nope. Nothing in Daniel has anything at all to do with Russia (or anything else happening now). See Daniel's dreams and visions and What Does the Bible Really Teach about Gog of Magog?
What JWs say about Jesus' 'presence' and the 'great tribulation' also contradicts what the Bible actually says. See What Does the Bible Really Teach about Jesus' Presence?Jesus Christ foretold a time when ānation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.ā (Matthew 24:7) Read the article āWhat Is the Sign of āthe Last Days,ā or āEnd Timesā?ā to see how the Bible shows that wars today fulfill Jesusā prophecy.

The JW website has added a page about the Ukraine invasion, claiming it relates to biblical prophecies. Their response amounts to self-serving drivel that is detached from reality.

The WT uses phi LIST ine. The world says PHIL is tine.
It isnāt the case that Watch Tower uniquely says it a different way to āthe worldā. The pronunciation indicated above as āPHIL is tineā (/ĖfÉŖlÉŖstaÉŖn/, where ātineā rhymes with āwineā) is the English pronunciation in most English speaking countries, and is also used in the US, but some United Stated dialects use āphi LIST ineā (/fÉŖĖlÉŖstin/).

JWs donāt use the apocryphal, yet source them
by Anony Mous inso a quick little note about a few things that i recently learned.
if you ever had the yellow book of bible stories, there was the story of enoch, also repeated in other watchtower publications, about the angels fathering giants and being a menace on earth.
now if you look at the nicean bible, which is the wtbts selection of the bible, it mentions enoch twice and only has a very brief passage about nephilim and ben elohim.

Sea Breeze:
The book of Jasher is referenced in the bible
The Bible does refer to a 'Book of Jasher/Jashar'. However, the actual content of the book is unknown.
There was a spurious 16th century version and another 18th century forgery that purport to be translations of the lost book. They quote from various biblical books to try to sound authentic.

Fisherman:
I donāt think so because the book of Rev actually does speak about the future
So does Star Trek. It's still not actually a prophecy about the future.

a watcher:
Ukraine has nothing to do with Armageddon.
Correct.
There are still many prophecies in Revelation that need to be fulfilled before Armageddon comes. I believe Armageddon is at least several years in the future.
š¤¦āāļøNo. Revelation was about cryptic references to events that affected early Christians under the Roman empire during the first and early second centuries. Relevance to anything now, or to the future, is exactly zero.

The other publications would also likely be available (internally) as update packages for the Windows-based Watchtower Library applicationā¦
For example, when using the Publications Index on that version, if you click any of the shorthand references to an old publication, it responds by saying that the full name of the publication isnāt available in the library. This indicates that the term is actually linked to the unavailable publication rather than it not being a link at all.
