Have you ever wondered what worship was like in the church in the first century? How did praise and worship take place? How did believers give offerings? How did they pray for the sick? How loudly did they pray? How did the anointing and gifts of the Holy Spirit operate among them? In 2 Timothy 2:11–13, Paul gives us a brief glimpse into one of the services of the early church. In fact, these words are a verbatim quo…

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 1 of 20 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 9 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. A count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints these counters in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈142,000 means somewhere between 141,500 and 142,499.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 1 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 1reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 2 August 2026 to 9 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

People have the idea that the Titanic struck an iceberg and then sank. Instead, the Titanic scraped along the iceberg and it didn't sink until several hours later. At the beginning there seemed to be no change at all. Everything was still level and solid, and only a few people even saw the scraping. People were playing cards and they saw the iceberg through the windows. The general feeling was that there wasn't any r…
Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma Money has played a significant role in determining outcomes at ANC elective conferences. At the 2022 ANC National Conference, half a billion rand was found in somebody’s room on the first morning. Fikile Mbalula openly distributed (“dished”) money at the conference clinic. The money was used to secure Mbalula’s election as Secretary-General and Cyril Ramaphosa’s election/re-election as ANC …
The mosque is the root of Islamic evil. It’s not a house of worship, it’s the command center of a political ideology that seeks to dominate and erase every other faith. Churches, temples, and synagogues gather freely because those religions don’t cancel other beliefs or demand supremacy. Islam does both by design. So if the West wants to stop the spread, it must cut the source: no public mosques, no Friday mass ga…

“Qatar bought the Vice President of the European Parliament..." "We know that the mosques they are funding in Europe are places where propaganda and hate preaching are present every day. We are going to stop them,” says Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński. The infamous Qatargate scandal, which Tarczyński referred to, was the biggest corruption scandal in the European Parliament’s history. Numerous Members of the Europea…
The post highlights how Iranian leftists and communists supported Ayatollah Khomeini in the 1979 revolution, viewing Islamists as temporary allies against the Shah to advance socialist goals. After seizing power, the Islamic Republic executed thousands of political opponents including many leftists, banned parties and purged universities, betraying its former supporters. The accompanying photo shows smiling leftist s…

The words of Evonik CEO Christian Kullmann cannot be repeated often enough: "The German energy transition has so far cost around 1,000 billion euros. And what has it brought us? Nothing." These 1,000 billion euros are missing today from infrastructure, hospitals, schools, and pensions. The 1,000 billion euros that Merkel, Habeck, Scholz, and Merz spent on senseless projects aren't gone, though. The money is still …
The Secret Of Believing Prayer By Andrew Murray (1828 – 1917) “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever...shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall ha…
Therefore, have faith in God. Let faith be all eye and ear, the surrender to let God make His full impression, and reveal Himself fully in the soul. Count it one of the chief blessings of prayer to exercise faith in God, as the living mighty God who waits to fulfill in us all the good pleasure of His will, and the work of faith with power. See in Him the God of love, whose delight it is to bless and impart Himself…
In Yemen, 90% of men and 50% of women chew khat daily. A quarter of all their household income is spent on this plant. Alcohol is haram, but everyone is a drug addict. Make it make sense.
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @signsofthetimes. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
