I always hear out veterans. I will seek out their stories whenever I see a ‘Veteran’ designation on door or car. They have no stories to tell and, for the most part, no one wants to hear them. So I do. I often start by observing ‘how can you not admire someone willing to put his life on the line for what he believes?’ 
I just hear them out, regardless of which way it goes. Sometimes, though I do not insist upon it, I get to throw in the observation that while his/her bravery and conviction is admirable, were he living anywhere else in the world, that bravery and conviction would be directed to another entity, and isn’t that a strange way to run a world?

Yes, yes. But...
Why do we have to limit ourselves only to past events? WWI and WWII events
Are we sure that the situation is not going to change? I mean, that the USA will remain relatively moderate and tolerant until the end, that it will always respect us
Are we sure that the horn persecution of Daniel 7 (and 😎 has already happened? And that of Revelation 11, 12 and 13, has it already happened? Sure?
Well, it could be, but it doesn't add up to me.

I have often wondered this as Anglo American powers have flooded other lands and gain their riches and ruled their governments with cunning..read confessions of a economic hit man ….what lands have Russia flooded over…?..or perhaps they are about to?…so many questions ???
But then the Anglo American powers have not really hurt Jehovah’s people to badly…so that doesn’t fit ?

Very interesting what you say, as always.

But, look, I think there is a lot of evidence that the USA is the king of the north. I hope to have time one day to explain myself better, just to advance two things:
In our explanations it has been said that Russia has worshiped the "god of fortresses" as meaning that it invests a lot in armament (more tanks and less butter), as they used to say. But according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures it turns out that the USA spends TWICE as Russia, India and China TOGETHER.
And about the King of the North's mood to invade. Sure, drawn from the Western perspective Russia is the bad guy, but what if we include the US role in Afghanistan, Iraq, South America, Vietnam and many others? Well, just this that I don't have time today. But I insist, AND I MAY BE WRONG, but I think there would be grounds for thinking that the north and the south...

it means you had a very emotional dream that caused you to remember some very brave acts of men who died for what they believed in.
The colour thing happens with lots of people now and then or even only once in their life time..some people dream in colour all the time…it doesn’t make them inspired.
I too have admired many different soldiers for their bravery and their deaths…I have cried because of their heroic acts..no matter what nation they were from …I am in awe when I hear about the men who defended Darwin when the Japanese constantly attacked and Churchill refused to send a defence..and considered Darwin and Australia expendable…theses men fought with bare chests due to the heat…they fought knowing they were alone and abandoned..they did not expect a victory…I admire them…and I thank them..and I cry when I hear them talk of it….I sat with a highly decorated Vietnamese vet on The edge of his bed with my arm around his shoulders as he wept and told me of his missions in Nam….I quietly sang to him a verse of a song which I know they all sang over there…” We gotta get out of this place if it’s the last thing we ever do “…he looked at me with his tired worn out face and said…how did you know that….he has died now.
None of that makes me political..what you feel does not make you political.
It makes you humane and an admirer of bravery in the face of diversity and death….and you weep with them at their pain and loss…you admire their sheer bravery and sacrifice……sorry Pudgy nor does it make you inspired …but hang in There.

AMP James 1:22
22 But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth].
 

He is very orderly that way. He’d make a good librarian. (that old hen)

I would like to thank @JW Insider for trying to keep it on topic, but the rest of you, well just no hope at all.
 
 

Dmitar:
What does the Bible say about calling someone a (woeful) fool?
(Hint: Matthew 5:22.)

The two or more times you were previously exiled from the Archive here was not because you told the truth, as you assert, but because you were a liar and slanderer on those occasions as well.
You seem to be intelligent enough to deflect and weasel, but otherwise a compulsive liar with delusions of grandeur that requires you to call others “fools”, and “stupid”, as well as make up lies about them. 
That makes you both sad, and dangerous.

It’s a wonder how people with such thin skin manage to keep their insides in.

dodo was probably the word you finally settled for but I'm sure there were others prior to that.  

The entire forum could be banned as far as I am concerned. A good many players here could most charitably be described as ‘real pieces of work.’ That doesn’t mean I have ever sought to ban anyone.

How can the Watchtower be guilty of aiding an unknown perpetrator much less with the UK owns laws, concerning privacy rights? The UK has to prove "intent" under international law to accuse the GB, of what you are accusing them.
Remember, this false narrative comes from, former Jehovah's Witnesses as propaganda. There is no legitimacy with that slander.
Since the Bible is the Watchtowers constitution, what part of the bible do you deem inappropriate usage?
My point was, when was Jesus NOT human, while he was on earth? That was the clarification I was seeking.
Sure I can. Can you?
Do you believe the entire Watchtower members are distant to a heaven's calling? Use yourself as an example. Would you be credible in the eyes of God?
Since you were a member in conflict, do you believe the congregation you once dedicated your service to God should trust you?
In what sense? Those members that fall under the preview on sin? Are you saying perpetrators shouldn't be disfellowshipped? Doesn't your opinion contradict, unless you are saying, your friends shouldn't be subjected to canonical law. 

Glad you admit the difference between "dodo" and asking to have someone banned.
When it comes to banning me, you always have something to say in defense of others, now you what to turn it around, please! 
You know exactly what I'm talking about. That woeful fool @Pudgy is as bad as they come, yet NOT ONCE have you suggested for him to be banned. Also, you haven't argued for@Patiently waiting for Truth to be banned, either. Why, because I "refuse" to be part of apostasy, here?

Death spoken here is spiritual. It’s being thrown out of the synagogues/Kingdom Halls, shunned. We gotta remember, Revelation is symbolic and spoken in signs.
It about the anointed and their JW’s friends that don’t fear being disfellowshipped while losing their lives in the organization for speaking the truth in their congregations. They loved the truth more than their status, more than keeping their friends or any love of their family in organization (Matthew 10:37; Luke 14:26; Philippians 3:7-9). 
“They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.” John 16:2
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death [once you are put the death you will be shunned and hated], and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.” Matthew 24:9
Taking a bullet to the head is the easy way out. If Putin were an enemy that would be great, but he’s just a distraction. Satan knows being called trash for the rest of your life till’ you’re physically dead for speaking the truth to an organization is much, much harsher on the back, he’s a master at this.
“We appeal gently when evil things are said about us. Yet we are treated like the world’s garbage, like everybody’s trash—right up to the present moment.” 1 Corinthians 4:13

I meant just with me, right @TrueTomHarley. You people just want to insult, criticize, and fight with me. Didn't you just defend @Arauna bullying? I don't see you being critical with that former Jehovah's Witness @Pudgy as you are with me.
In general, you Jehovah’s Witnesses here, really don't behave like that with former Jehovah's Witnesses, now do you. Yeah, once in a while when, @Patiently waiting for Truth gets under your skin, you will insult him, but not directly "rebuking" him like you do with me. Certainly you don't ask the owner to ban @Pudgy like you do with me, even though he is FAR WORSE than me. But, you guys need to stick together, I get that, Christian.
So, your comment is none conforming.

Pe·sach /ˈpāˌsäKH/ noun
1.Jewish term for the Passover festival.   
Month of Nissan. I just want to see if you are still critical with words with me, when you're not with others. I see you still are. 
 
However, thanks, now I know why you're so conflicted with 607 BC.
In 2021, we are in year 5781 of the Jewish calendar (September 19, 2020 - September 6, 2021), and in
September the calendar enters the year 5782 (September 6, 2021 -May 19, 2022).
Rosh Hashana & Vayalekh (And He Went) 25 Sep-1 Oct 2022 (29 Elul-5782-6 Tishrei 5783
 
I'll ask @TrueTomHarley next time. Maybe he will give the visitor a better answer.

I was looking for the month of PESACH for the festival of unleavened bread.
Rosh Chodesh Nisan 2022 
Friday, April 1
Saturday, April 2

Rosh Chodesh Nisan 2023

But since you mentioned, 5783 that’s fine.

I think I know what you mean, but just so that no one gets confused, there is no such thing as "the month of PESACH."
You seem to have meant the month that contains Pesach (Passover), which is the month of NISAN. Passover (Pesach), to the Jews, starts on Nisan 15 and begins the week-long festival of unleavened bread that lasts up to Nisan 21/22. For us, we say Passover starts a day earlier, on Nisan 14, and therefore we separate it from the week-long festival.
Also, I'm sure you knew this, but for others who might be interested, "Rosh Chodesh" is merely the name of the observance of every new moon, not just the one on Nisan 1, but also Iyyar 1 (Tammuz 1), Tishri 1, Heshvan 1, Adar-II 1 etc.
But this has nothing to do with your original question about when the year 2023 C.E. begins in the Jewish calendar. You asked:
Even though the so-called sacred calendar can be said to start a new year in the spring on Nisan 1 (not Nisan 14/15) and the so-called secular/agricultural calendar can be said to start the new year in the autumn on Tishri 1, neither of these two dates has anything to do with when the year 2023 begins. That will always be January 1st.

:)) 

Once and for all, will you please get it right? I have not called you a “fool” or “stupid.” I have called you a “dodo.”
Not me.

THIS is the single paragraph I had in mind ......
BOOM!
