Although we can be sure that Noah would have been required to explain to many persons why he was building such a huge boat, we shouldn't try to make Jesus say something in Matthew 24 that Jesus never said. Jesus never said that Noah warned anyone about the coming flood. The Bible never says that he warned people about a coming flood. So why do we add the idea that Noah WARNED them? 
It's true that some people might get the idea from the way in which the NWT adds the words "took no note:"
(Matthew 24:39) and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.
But these words are not in the original Greek, so we shouldn't try to make them imply something that the Bible doesn't say. Below are all the translations, for example, that are provided at blueletterbible.org: https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/mat/24/36/t_bibles_953039
So even if there was some preaching about God's righteousness (2 Peter 2:5), which could have been through Noah's example (as implied in Hebrews 11:7), rather than any kind of warning campaign, Jesus was not making any point about a warning, because he had just spent the entire previous part of the chapter saying that there would be no warning. The disciples wanted a warning sign about the judgment event on Jerusalem and Jesus said that there would be no advance warning sign, otherwise how could the parousia come as a thief in the night. So what Jesus says about Noah, should fit what he says about the way the parousia (judgment event) came upon the generation of Noah's day.

First  time,  I  heard  our  KD  song  No. 91  "in  Opera"...   not  bad !

It is a pity we will not see the long-term outworking of this decision because the blood transfusions keep them alive for a while only...There are some kinds of leukemia which needs a bone marrow transplant.... the patient does not survive without it.

Ja Osten und früher wars halt der Süden der DDR. Meine Stadt heist Riesa. Eine Kleinstadt an der Elbe. 

Judge orders blood transfusion to small Jehovah's Witness
In reviewing the rights of freedom, belief and religion with the human right to life, federal judge orders a child suffering from leukemia to receive a blood transfusion once the treatments have been exhausted Alternative doctors, by virtue of which Jehovah's Witnesses religion professes.
Judge Mauricio Fernández de la Mora, head of the Eighth District Court in the State of Chihuahua, granted protection to a Rarámuri woman who professes the Jehovah's Witnesses religion, so that blood can be transfused to her five-year-old daughter. Age, affected by leukemia, as long as other means or alternative treatments have been exhausted, such as those proposed by various doctors, including oncologists at the Cancer Center of Chihuahua.
The judgment reviewed the fundamental right to freedom of belief and religion, as well as the rights to a second opinion, informed consent and decision-making regarding medical treatments; However, due to the lack of maturity of the girl to understand the scope of the medical act on her health, the right to life was privileged; So that if necessary, doctors were authorized to perform the necessary treatments to protect the child's life, including blood transfusion  ;-(

THEY  HAD  40 YEARS  FOR  THINKING  ABOUT....   MORE  THAN  ENOUGH !!
PEOPLE  NOT  CHANGING.....  ITS  THE  SAME  JUST  IN  OUR  CURRENT  TIME People  NOT  want  hear  of  Jehovah's  Kingdom  and  everlasting  life !

LOVE  OF  A  SON  TO  HIS  MOTHER ❤
FIRST  HUG  AFTER  THE  BAPTISM  THAT  MADE  THE  YOUNG.  He  told  his  mother,  "thank  you  for loving  me  and  teaching  me  the  truth,  I  can't  thank  you  enough  for  all  the  love  I've  for Jehovah."
I  remember  this  moment  with  MY  son....   he  was  one  year  faster  than  me !   We  learned  the TRUTH  separate  of  us....
One  year  later,  the  same  nice  "ritual"   warm  hugs  after  MY  baptism   A  very  special  moment  for  us ❤   THANK  YOU  JEHOVAH
But  our  baptismal - font  was  the  same

102  Years  Old  and  still  Street -Witnessing.  This  is  Sister  Mary,  WOW !!
This  is  so  encouraging  in  a  world  of  hate  and  violence toward our loving God Jehovah...
Sister,  you  are  a  great example  of  faith and  love  for  Jehovah  and  Jesus
May  Jehovah  bless  you  still  longer,  Sister  Mary

This is so awesome! Thank you❤

We often hear people respond with, "Well good luck to you" concerning any venture. Is it not better to say, "Jehovah willing", or similar?
We cannot blame our society for investing. Not all that many brothers donate to the World Wide Work. Why did our Society have have to sell it's magnificent building with, "Read the Bible today" and move to a cheaper area?
We ourselves are investing our money when we open a savings account.

Thanks, JW Insider !  In my congregation was also a very young anointed Sinti brother. Maybe it will change all years...  Lets wait and see until its time.
But no discuss under my postings please !  Thank you.

I too feel for our brothers and sisters in Russia. But my message to them as well as to us is found in God's word the Bible, it reads "Be strong and do not become discouraged, for your activity will be rewarded."(2 Chronicles, 15:7).

Ja ich komme aus dem Süden. Genau zwischen Dresden und Leipzig. Geboren in Hoyerswerda.

Thanks very much for helping with your graphics  @Ronny Stoyan  

Thank you for your wise thoughts. We all know about those determined to get rich. (1Tim. 6:9)
No sense in debating on such matters - rather help the poorer brothers and sisters, then you are lending to Jehovah. (He will repay you)

Jehovah in English  -  Basic  statement  by  Jehovah's Witnesses:
The Hebrew Name of God יהוה rendered generally as YHWH and thought to be pronounced in Hebrew something like Yahweh or perhaps Yahoweh is properly translated into English as Jehovah.
Argument by opposers:
That is not the correct way to do it,  because Someone from the US named John who visits Mexico or Spain is not Juan;  they are   still John.
Counter-argument by Jehovah’s Witnesses:
Jesus is not God’s Son’s name either; it is properly rendered in the Hebrew as Yeshua or Yehoshua, and even the Greek is Iesous, yet the opposers do not complain about it being rendered as “Jesus”  in English.
Other Hebrew names are rendered or translated into English with no complaint.
Bibles in English use John and in Spanish Juan, etc.
To settle this problem, what we need is Biblical example. That should settle the matter to the satisfaction of all.
“But in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which, when translated, means Dorcas. She abounded in good deeds and gifts of mercy that she was rendering.”—Acts 9:36.
(“Dorcas” is the Greek and corresponds with “Tabitha” which is the Aramaic;  both names mean “Gazelle.”)
So, which one is her name, Tabitha or Dorcas? Let’s continue reading in Acts 9:39 & 40:
“At that Peter rose and went with them. And when he arrived, they led him up into the upper chamber; and all the widows presented themselves to him weeping and exhibiting many inner garments and outer garments that Dorcas used to make while she was with them. But Peter put everybody outside and, bending his knees, he prayed, and, turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha, rise!” She opened her eyes and, as she caught sight of Peter, she sat up.”
So, both names are used interchangeably!
Even the Apostle Peter, whose name means “A Piece of Rock,” is named in five different ways in the Scriptures: by the Hebrew “Symeon,” the Greek “Simon” (from a Hebrew root meaning “hear; listen”), “Peter” (a Greek name he alone bears in the Scriptures), its Semitic equivalent “Cephas” (perhaps related to the Hebrew kephim´ [rocks] used at Job 30:6; Jeremiah 4:29), and the combination “Simon Peter.”—Acts 15:14; Matthew 10:2; 16:16; John 1:42.
And need we even mention “Saul, who is also Paul” as stated in Acts 13:9 ?
Therefore, based upon these Scriptural precedents, the English Jehovah is as correct as the Hebrew יהוה when referring to our Almighty God, the Most High over all the earth.—Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18.
One thing for sure: יהוה is NOT LORD nor GOD, which is what most Bibles replace it with.
