King James Bible
Luke 21: 10-12
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
10 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation,k and kingdom against kingdom.l 11 There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences;m and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.
Notice the two different translations. King James Bible and other Bible translations have : fearful sights and great signs shall be from heaven, while the Jehovah's Witness slanted version of their Bible has; fearful sights and from heaven great signs. Talk about manipulation. That is how the Watchtower Society control their members. One word changes the whole meaning of the passage.

KEEP ON THE WATCH!
Record-Breaking Temperatures Worldwide—What Does the Bible Say?
During July 2022, record-breaking temperatures were reported worldwide:
“China issues highest heat alert for almost 70 cities in second heatwave this month.”—July 25, 2022, CNN Wire Service.
“Forest fires rage across Europe as heatwave sends temperatures soaring.”—July 17, 2022, The Guardian.
“Cities across the United States set temperature records on Sunday as a summer heat wave spread across the East Coast and parts of the South and Midwest.”—July 24, 2022, The New York Times.
What does all this mean? Will the earth eventually become unfit for life? What does the Bible say?
Do heat waves fulfill Bible prophecy?
Yes. Global heat waves fit events that the Bible foretold for our time. For example, Jesus prophesied that we would see “fearful sights,” or “strange and terrifying things.” (Luke 21:11; Good News Translation) Rising global temperatures have led many to fear that mankind will ruin the earth.
Jesus foretold food shortages, earthquakes, pestilences and the increase of lawlessness in the ''end times.'' ( I stopped believing any of this a while ago )
Now comes this article (which tries to fit the Watchtower Society narrative), where Jesus supposedly foretells ''climate change.'' This article states that ''fearful sights'' and ''strange and terrifying things'' could only mean one thing...Jesus predicted Global heat waves.
Talk about reading into things!

Elders do not reveal confidential matters to their family members (See paragraph 11)
11 In the congregation. Elders who are known to keep a confidence are “a hiding place from the wind, a place of concealment” for their brothers. (Isa. 32:2) We know that we can talk freely to these men, certain that what we say to them will be kept confidential. We do not pressure them to tell us things that they should keep private. In addition, we appreciate our elders’ wives because they do not try to pry information out of their husbands. Really, it is a blessing that an elder’s wife is not told personal information about her brothers and sisters. One elder’s wife commented: “I am grateful that my husband keeps information confidential regarding those he meets on shepherding calls or those needing spiritual assistance, not even telling me their names. I appreciate not being burdened with issues I can do nothing about. I am able to interact naturally with all in the congregation. And I can trust that when I confide in my husband about my personal feelings or problems, these too will remain confidential.” Of course, we all want to have the reputation of being trustworthy. What qualities will help us to achieve that goal? Let us consider five of them.
In my old congregation, elder wives were the biggest snitches, big mouths, self-righteous and the most judgmental of all the members. There was a lot of dirt that was thrown around by elder's wives.
Elders were known to tell their wives all the congregation confidential information... how teenager Johnny and teenager Jane were disfellowshipped. We knew Johnny was disfellowshipped because the elders followed him around and watched him come out of a hotel with his ''worldly'' girlfriend. We also found out Jane was having sexual relations with her boyfriend.
Don't believe for a minute one elder's wife said this:
“I am grateful that my husband keeps information confidential regarding those he meets on shepherding calls or those needing spiritual assistance, not even telling me their names. I appreciate not being burdened with issues I can do nothing about. I am able to interact naturally with all in the congregation. And I can trust that when I confide in my husband about my personal feelings or problems, these too will remain confidential.”

Anybody who caved in to the religion’s requests is suffering financially today in their old age and the people who pushed poverty not even around to Help them!…So, What did the religion accomplish?? They have congregations filled with all sorts of needy people who I am Glad to be nowhere near.
I was told by brother who is an Elder that our District Overseer Mario Beltrami was made to retire when he turned 70 years old. He lives in Florida with his wife in a small apartment.
How does he survive without any savings, pension, social security or any liquid assets? Is the Watchtower Society helping him and his wife financially in their senior years?
My brother and other Elders in his congregation send him and his wife money every month so he can pay his bills. While he served the Society for many, many years, he was kicked to the curb and only by the generosity of the Elders is he able to survive.

“that ominous looking cylindrical metal thing “
I have zoomed in on this ominous illustration drawn by the Watchtower Art Department. To all of the members reading this article and looking at this illustration means nothing, but the Watchtower Art Department ( who for some strange reason drew this out- of -place object ), are either having a great laugh or as Anna Marina wrote:
perhaps its a subliminal message telling you they are really Knight's Templars.

the millenium will be a 2 + class system, with printed, or hand copied hardcopy for the masses, but plasma screens for the elite
The instructor is using a tablet because he is familiar with Microsoft operating systems. The two woman and the man in red shirt probably know how to read, but cannot figure out how to use a tablet. The African man is holding a Bible... in what language? Noah's descendant is holding a Bible in what language...and how does he know how to read ( while he must of been recently resurrected in his tomb clothes)?

20 What an exciting time the Thousand Year Reign will be! It will include the greatest educational program ever undertaken here on earth. But it will also be a time when the conduct of both the righteous and the unrighteous will be evaluated. (Isa. 26:9; Acts 17:31) How will this educational program be carried out? Our next article will help us to understand and appreciate this wonderful provision.
A new Watchtower article has a picture of newly resurrected brothers who will need to enroll in an educational program in the Thousand Year Reign. The two females and male in this class must of survived Armageddon and entered with the same clothes.
How did the African brother get resurrected with clothes he wore while in his tomb? How did someone in Noah's day or even before come out of his tomb with pressed cloths that have no wrinkles or tears? Why are they even wearing old clothes? Won't there a clothing store in the New System to give these two resurrected brothers new slacks and shirts so they don't stand out?
