Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Vote? I have seen this question hundreds of times on many forums.
I remember this was big change for me back in 1999. Historically speaking, voting was a definite “no-no” for one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Many brothers and sisters are still reluctant to vote due to our old tradition of not permitting witnesses to vote.
Remember to not judge your brother or sister if he or she decides they want to. I have seen many faces and comments from some toward those that even talk about voting.
I will add this to the comprehensive Timeline of New Light
Agape!

We hope you enjoy it. I will move your post to the questions area of the JW section.
I had to move social.jw-archive.org to a section on this forum due to Ning's failure and lack of innovation.
You should see your own profile page and various categories. Enjoy!

Typically I would draw parallels (use of type / antitype) (i.e. - seven times) to show a prophetic fulfillment.
I am withholding that line of reasoning due to our recent abandonment of type/antitype parallels. I remember we talked about them still being used when speaking of the Kingdom yet I would need to find this out for sure via that Annual Meeting talk somewhere in the archive.

Hello! A small group of us teens met up at the Rosen Heights Congregation in Texas this morning for letter writing ? We spent three hours writing not-at-homes, inviting them to the memorial, and finished 29 letters ☺️ Sending our warm Christian love to all our brothers and sisters worldwide ❤️ @the.frantic.redhead thank you

11 While they were listening to these things, he told another illustration, because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the Kingdom of God was going to appear instantly.+ 12 So he said: “A man of noble birth traveled to a distant land+ to secure kingly power for himself and to return. 13 Calling ten of his slaves, he gave them ten miʹnas* and told them, ‘Do business with these until I come.’+ 14 But his citizens hated him and sent out a body of ambassadors after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to become king over us.’
15 “When he eventually got back after having secured the kingly power,* he summoned the slaves to whom he had given the money,* in order to ascertain what they had gained by their business activity.+ 16 So the first one came forward and said, ‘Lord, your miʹna gained ten miʹnas.’+17 He said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because in a very small matter you have proved yourself faithful, hold authority over ten cities.’+ 18 Now the second came, saying, ‘Your miʹna, Lord, made five miʹnas.’+ 19 He said to this one as well, ‘You too be in charge of five cities.’ 20 But another one came, saying, ‘Lord, here is your miʹna that I kept hidden away in a cloth. 21 You see, I was in fear of you, because you are a harsh man; you take what you did not deposit, and you reap what you did not sow.’+ 22 He said to him, ‘By your own words I judge you, wicked slave. You knew, did you, that I am a harsh man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?+ 23 So why did you not put my money* in a bank? Then on my coming, I would have collected it with interest.’
24 “With that he said to those standing by, ‘Take the miʹna from him and give it to the one who has the ten miʹnas.’+ 25 But they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten miʹnas!’— 26 ‘I say to you, to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.+ 27 Moreover, bring these enemies of mine here who did not want me to become king over them and execute them in front of me.’” - Luke 19
"to secure" implies a process. A period of time.
36 As he moved along, they were spreading their outer garments on the road.+ 37 As soon as he got near the road down the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and to praise God with a loud voice because of all the powerful works they had seen, 38 saying: “Blessed is the one coming as the King in Jehovah’s* name! Peace in heaven, and glory in the heights above!”+ 39 However, some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him: “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”+40 But in reply he said: “I tell you, if these remained silent, the stones would cry out.” - Luke 19
"AS the King" is the phrase used... not "as king"
------------------------------------------------------------------
An often used phrase we heard 30 years ago was "King-designate"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This inspired psalm gave the Hebrews reason to regard the promised Messiah as the one in whom the office of priest and king would be combined. The apostle Paul, in the letter to the Hebrews, removed any doubt about the identity of the one foretold, speaking of “Jesus, who has become a high priest according to the manner of Melchizedek forever.”
Ps 110
Jehovah declared to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand+ (10 days after Jesus' ascension on Pentecost 33 C.E)
Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”+
2 Jehovah will extend the scepter of your power out of Zion, saying: (1914)
“Go subduing in the midst of your enemies.”+
3 Your people will offer themselves willingly on the day of your military force.* (1914 ...)
In splendid holiness, from the womb of the dawn, (Birth of a nation....)
You have your company of young men just like dewdrops.
4 Jehovah has sworn an oath, and he will not change his mind:* (29 B.C.E.)
“You are a priest forever+
In the manner of Mel·chizʹe·dek!”+
5 Jehovah will be at your right hand;+
He will crush kings on the day of his anger.+ (ARMAGEDDON)
6 He will execute judgment against* the nations;+
He will fill the land with dead bodies.+
He will crush the leader* of a vast land.* (SATAN in the abyss)
7 He* will drink from the stream along the road. (New World)
Therefore, he will hold his head high.
So to @JW Insider Your proposed scenario would make verses 1,2,3, 4 all happen simultaneously?

According to the National Weather Service, snow rollers sometimes called snow doughnuts need just the right combination of light, sticky snow, strong (but not too strong) winds and cold temperatures to form. It’s been about 10 years since snow rollers were reported in western Pennsylvania, but snow rollers appeared in near Spokane, Wash., in 2009.
WHERE ARE YOU FROM AND HAVE YOU SEEN THESE BEFORE?
Like a snowball spinning downhill in a cartoon, picking up size, snow rollers grow layer by layer as they’re rolled along by the wind. Sometimes they do roll downhill, but in this case, wind created the mysterious, hollow snow tubes. Pictures posted online show tracks in the snow left behind as the snow rollers swept across snowy yards and golf courses. -

Our pioneer meeting with Bro.Esparza, our circuit overseer. He’s the tall brother in back. I’m the handsome brother in the photo. If you’re in doubt, just choose the most handsome brother and we’ll pretend it’s me. ???? Guanajuato, Mexico.

We spent more than an hour in other to reach people in a distant territory through bush part under rainy weather. What a blessing from Jehovah to reach people with the good news. Thanks for sharing @4reveland -
