What does red taste like, what does it sound like, what does it smell like?
Is your perception of red the same as mine?
 

That is the fallacy. A philosophical way to justify anything. .... 
New policies accepted by most religions is LGBTQ. They say it is 'unloving' to not include the sexually deviant.practices .... and soon the sexual love of children will also be approved.....by government policy...... because all must be 'inclusive and "loving".' This is the basis of the new LOVE..... all inclusive.... LOVE.   Love for God and his standards will become UN loving and unlawful.. 
Whose side will you be on when this becomes accepted policy? 

I live in the Balkans and I still am a member of the Georgian congregation (Georgia is next to russia). Yes, many got out who left early.  Brothers were helped in Georgia and many went to Poland. Here in Albania we were asked to put up brothers but only 2 couples came. Both left for other countries afterwards such as Turkey. 

That is the smartest way.  I listened to a journalist yesterday who cannot get anything published. She is on the ground in the war zone where the mass graves are supposed to be and took photos of the " mass graves" . The satellite took a photo from a distance and did not zoom in (deliberately) . There is a long row of 400 spaced graves and a whole lot of new ones that had been dug.  Some deseased military were put in there and civilians all  buried in individual coffins and each grave numbered. Some already have names on it. She spoke to the people digging the graves. ..they identified the city, the spot.... bottom line: there are no mass graves with  thousands of people thrown on top of each other.......it is war frenzied war  propaganda.
In Russia the war propaganda is raging and Russians cannot see news any from the outside world..... it is part of the political system..... the King of the North - .....the beast. People there have a measure of freedom BUT if the people practice a religion the govt does not like, or demonstrate for human rights, say anything against the government - they are spied upon, are put in jail or even silenced forever.  Justice for the innocent and those without influence is not served. 
Anglo America is the 7th head, the 2-horned  beast- the one powerful govt.  who speaks about sweet democracy and freedom like a lamb......and says it is bringing democracy to the rest of the world. But it acts like a dragon.  It has been bombing the middle east while Ukraine propaganda is raging. It has killed thousands of civilians in other countries throughout the last few years and jailed Assange because he managed to expose the war atrocities.
In  Anglo-America one can walk around freely but journalists who bring the truth are discredited and hit-pieces written about them. No corporate newspapers accept independent stories...any longer......and when they do..... they rewrite them to suit propaganda. It has become an instrument of the state.  What do we call a government where media corporations and government work together ?  (Fascism). In 2018 the United Nations Migrant agreement had a clause in which (all member nations are bound to it), it stipulated that journalists who do not tow the UN-line must be "re-trained".  You can only get a job as a journalist now if your politics are globalist/ UN plan oriented.
This was an indicator to me that truth is no longer allowed..... only propaganda. I have said all along, since 2018, that governments are doing what UN legislated in agreements. I have seen the thick "policies" file given out to journalists when they start work.  I never received one, or followed one of those files 38 years ago at the time I worked for a newspaper. I reported what I saw. 
We have freedom.... but we only see what media corporations allow us to see. As you know, many journalists are cancelled or forced to leave corporate media and go to work on discredited independent sites..... 
So now, a question? What is the difference between the two beasts? The king of north and the false prophet- Anglo America?  Not much. Remember it is the false prophet who with his signs mesmerize the people so that all follow it. 
And one also has to consider this; rev 16: 13-16 
"And I saw three unclean inspired expressions that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the wild beast and out of the false prophet"
"They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and they perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty. 15"
Soon the UN will clamp down on independent sites. They will no longer exist. Political media will only feed the new government propaganda. When you get your new UN identity card..... you will be penalized of you visit any independent site which still exists.  You will only have access to internet if you do what they say.....in these times (I suspect) that  religions will also be cut off from internet if they do not tow the line which will devastate them. 
 Worship of the beast and image if the beast will be a requirement of all humans living on earth. In territory of the Kong if the north and south. 

….. and just HOW do you know there is never a “slow day in Heaven?
Hmmmmm?

Good imagination - but no demons there any longer!  They are all here in our domain - that is why we have to deal with so many nasty personalities!
Lets us answer it with a little more imagination: We are in a physical part of our universe which has time and space but there are other dimensions here which we are not aware of most of the time.  Angels (as well as many nasty ones) move around in our space as well.  They see us and hear us?  Maybe with quantum frequencies, or some other mysterious part of science humans are only starting to scratch the surface of.
Maybe Jehovah sends a quantum frequency to Angel A in Area A outside our physical universe.  A knows what to do.... because the universe keeps existing on their providing energy and information.   He sends a frequency message to angel B in the farthest reaches of our universe (leaving out the other mathematical "strings" attached ), and he informs BOB to go and do a pleasant task - to tell the GB they are all fired!    NO, that was a joke.... Some nasty angel tries to stop Bob but Bob manages to overcome the obstacle due to the older age of the demon opposition.....  so BOB is successful and goes ahead and tells the human mortals their time is almost up - to get ready to move to the next dimension.  Time is short - so they must quickly teach those other brothers how to manage things - do this right, this is your last chance to do it right..

Good points, but it was a slow day at the Archive, and I was in a frivolous mood for some topic we all had not beaten to death.
And who knows?
Somebody through reason and logic might have been able to shed some insight on the idea, that I strongly suspect the Apostle Paul already had the answer to when he spoke about the various “levels” of Heaven.
I see this “Archive” as light entertainment, something to explore new ideas, or confirm old ones by actual test by real adversaries, either inductively, or deductively.
And perhaps have some fun along the way.
I am too old to surf or skydive.
 

Thank you for the links to updates - much appreciated.

Thanks for that information. There have been reports here on the forum from a Witness in Poland. Some activity on Twitter also relates to Witnesses leaving Ukraine. Also, the latest reports on jw.org have more information about relief efforts and Ukrainian Witnesses who have fled their homes, and the country.
UPDATE #7 | Brotherly Love Prevails Amid Ongoing Crisis in Ukraine
Brothers Courageously Deliver Aid, Rescue Others in Ukrainian War Zone

I live in the Balkans and I still am a member of the Georgian congregation (Georgia is next to russia). Yes, many got out who left early.  Brothers were helped in Georgia and many went to Poland. Here in Albania we were asked to put up brothers but only 2 couples came. Both left for other countries afterwards such as Turkey. 

If the King Kong of the North fights the King Kong of the South, what part does Godzilla of the East and Mothra of the West play?

The shortest answer would be is no one here, JW or not, is leaning Left, or Right on the issue with Ukraine and Russia. I've yet to see a Left/Right leaning JW on this forum, even a while back. Moreover, no one here is Pro-Putin or Pro-Zelensky, and in regards to Putin, it wouldn't make sense for them to be Pro-Putin due to the events of 2016-2017, and the USSR if you go further back. If we have to delve into who has a political view, it should be noted that there were some, in the past, on this forum and elsewhere, who became Pro-Putin in support of the JW ban in Russia, not realizing the repercussions that came afterwards.
Granted, I dealt with people in the paradigm, including some rivals, I can see via discernment of who is who concerning the issue.
Bystander Effect is universal in all instances, regardless of view, faith, etc. It can be imposed on people even for the wrong reasons, likewise with the Ostrich Effect.
As for Bystander Effect, it can be utilized by Pro-Zelensky types on JWs, if left behind, to be forced to take a rifle and fight. Granted JWs are neutral, they will not fight therefore they reap consequence from the Ukrainians, as is be branded with the notation of Bystander Effect; those who do not want to fight for Ukraine because of, [any negative remark someone can think of.]
The Paradigm does not attest to the fact some people are being forced to fight for Ukraine, let alone the notation of Marshal Law which was put in place.
That being said, not only one should be praying on the matter, as you attested to, we should be praying for those so they do not get caught up in that mess who live in those areas, likewise, with any Russian caught in the mix, or African, etc. Because many people are effected by a Superpower and a neighboring country fighting, for a gun or a bomb does not care if you are neutral, facts and information is vital so those we pray for, can know how to tread their step so they can escape, evading forced into a fight, jail time, or worse.
They're not part of the state. Those affiliated with the state is Mainstream Christendom. It is obvious due to the fact the moves Babylon made ever since the war started, even prior in relation to their conquest for peace. And speaking of this, one of the Agents of the Beast resurfaced again with more war-mongering talk in support of war and a political side.
Actions of Babylon and the Beast does, for Christians should be aware of a threat and or enemy.
Clearly if there is a potential danger, you'd look for information first then make a move. Likewise, when Babylon and or the Beast moves, we evade the danger by knowing things.
The difference between someone who is aware and unaware. For you should know this, 2016 was coined. Babylon swept away many, the aware, evaded.
If they prayed correctly.
As for praying, one prays for those in the crossfire, for in Ukraine, it isn't just Ukrainians.
It appears to look like you pulled this commentary from The IVP Bible Background Commentary: Old Testament. Contextually with the other pages concerning a political role, they also address those who have a political side as is with professing propaganda as a notation of truth. Evident by the fact the other pages explanation of Egypt and the Assyrians, in which it had an indirect effect on the Israelites.
No one here is Left leaning. No one here is Right Leaning. Likewise, although misguided, the EXJWs here in this thread, hold no political faction, collectively, everyone is indirectly effected by the events with Ukraine and Russia. Hence, the remark of 100% certainty, that everyone here buys bread or the equivalent (or oil if you utilize it like the majority).
That being said, someone who holds political faction, can easily be spotted, in this thread, and elsewhere, outside of the Mainstreamers who role with the Triune or the Atheists', I see none.
 
All in all, there are people escaping Russia, taking up the opportunity. Reason, mostly due political superpowers and their actions.

I live in the Balkans and I still am a member of the Georgian congregation (Georgia is next to russia). Yes, many got out who left early.  Brothers were helped in Georgia and many went to Poland. Here in Albania we were asked to put up brothers but only 2 couples came. Both left for other countries afterwards such as Turkey. 

Possibly. Because the majority are aware Jehovah's Witnesses are not taking sides politically, but when it comes to War and War-time efforts, they are neutral, as most are who oppose war. The Bystander Effect may be an accusation in relation to those who do not participate in the War between Russia and Ukraine, and the Propaganda tends to spill over to those types, even some who see the wrong in both Presidents of those countries.
As we speak, there is Racism and Discrimination on the rise in the EU, surprisingly, pertaining to Blacks and Russians.
That being said, the Cancel Culture aspect is ridiculous. I don't see how banning Russian cats or taking a Russian Futball team out of a video game is going to change Putin's mind.

Whew!
It seems we both agree, but my explanation is only three words:
BELIEVE NO ONE
(…. easier to remember ….)

Well … if it comes to Global Thermonuclear War, remember to get some SPF 1,000,000 sunscreen.
 

If it wasn’t for Americans, you would be a slave, and the son or daughter of slaves, and if you still had a tongue, be speaking German.

Pudgy - I have an idea we all see satire in something different. If it is a shared life experience, I think we all get it but I must say, I like satire, but I do not always see the satire others see. Sometimes I just don't get it.

You seem to suffer from delusions of self importance and a need to be noticed.  Well that is the only reasonning I can find for all this dribble of stupid pictures.  
And as for dear Carroll here she seems to forgt that the GB / Leaders used to say that the JW religion was the 'new ark' and that everybody had to be a baptised JW to be that ark, to be saved. 
I think they've thrown that idea out the window now  

Thanks - I will share with family members
