Whoa, Sis!..That's a lot of food!...By the way, where did you go for your Convention?

Go on a train! There's a handful of 'tourist' train journeys such as: The Eastern Express/Doğu Ekspresi, from Ankara to Kars, 1,944 km / 1,208 miles / 32 hours, 30 minutes Vangolu Express, from Ankara to Tatvan, 1,245 km / 774 miles / 26 hours Take a look on youtube etc https://www.the-independent.com/travel/europe/turkey/turkey-best-affordable-train-dogu-ekspresi-b2942020.html

I had to cook today. If I do a big cook once in a while I can have an easier time when I make food for my man-child Adam. He is a BIG eater. He's 6 foot 4 and 270 pounds of muscle. His lunch box is a big Stanley chest. So today I made 2 baked potatoes for twice baked spuds this week, 8 deviled eggs, egg salad for sandwiches, 4 pounds of roasted bacon, baked spaghetti squash to eat with the spaghetti sauce in the freezer, 1 pound of fried beef kielbasa, Mac and cheese, 11 slices of French toast in the freezer for later. I hope breakfast and lunches this week will be a bit easier.

well stats can fail 😄

Wow, so based on that logic, the last known earthly resurrection was nearly 2000 years ago, so we have to wait another 2000 years before the next resurrection? I don't think so...🤣

no feeling, just dry, boring, hard stats; chatgpt If we make the very simplified assumption that such an event occurred exactly once during the past 4,500 years, we get an observed frequency: λ = 1/4,500 ≈ 0.000222 That is approximately 0.0222% per year, or roughly 1 in 4,500 per year.

What statistics are you looking at that you feel its not going to happen in our life time?

Speak for yourself lol

well, purely statistically speaking, none of us will experience armageddon in our lifetime..

True, we don't know the date but sometimes it's fun to guess as long as no one takes it too seriously. My latest guess is the GT will start in 2029, 2000 years after Jesus baptism and Armageddon will start in 2033, 2000 years after Jesus death. But my guesses are just for fun, it gives us something to look forward to and you can tease me if I'm wrong 😁

I really hope so.. Ill be 51 in 2033. Or ill be dead by then. Who knows?.. With all the problems of mankind today, will the earth and humans survive? Violence is increasing. Many are dying of colon cancer and other types of cancer.. AI is replacing jobs. If war will be ongoing then the economy would crash in 2033..

I have had NO experience but would love to hear yours as it may effect us in the future. In our congregation the admin group is the level 2 support for all things NWS & NWP. Level 1 support are the tech savvy users on NWS and NWP, the person you would go to when you need help with your device. If they can't solve the problem, then in our admin group of 3 ,there is one brother who made his living in the IT world and after exhausting all other avenues they can't fix it, they would then approach level 3 support which are the developers. That is the industry standard and most mortals will never reach level 3 support of big companies unless you are a multi million dollar company that spends a huge amount of licensing fees with the vendor and you have a dedicated contact. So please share your experience as it will help a bunch of clueless brothers in this forum who try to keep their congregations functioning.

Thanks for letting us know. The old version you just ticked the box before submitting it. Now on the new version you type in a digital signature (at least I don't remember seeing that in the previous version). Our CSC is excited about this and we are announcing the availabilty to use it at the next LaMM.

Exciting and interesting, but it is good to remember that "no prophecy of Scripture springs from any private interpretation." (2Pet.2:19). All these time references are just a product of human chronological categorization. Our key focus has to be Jehovah's mercy (Is.55:9), and its relationship to why the end of this system has yet to come, 2Pet.3:9.

Has anyone had the experience of contacting NW scheduler to ask a question? I have and didn’t enjoy the experience.

Don't forget to put a case of beer in your survival kit, it could save lives! 😁

Saturday, August 8 They have become a source of great comfort to me.—Col. 4:11. When we are suffering, our brothers and sisters are truly a living expression of Jehovah’s love for us. Fellow believers can comfort us by listening empathetically, or they may support us with their presence. They may share a reassuring Bible verse or say a prayer with us. (Rom. 15:4) At times, a brother or a sister may remind us of Jehovah’s thinking and thus help us maintain our balance. Fellow Christians can also give us practical support, such as by providing a meal when we are in distress. To receive support from others, we may need to ask for it. (Prov. 17:17) They may not know how we feel or what we need. (Prov. 14:10) So be willing to share your feelings with mature friends. Let them know what would help you. You might choose to confide in one or two elders with whom you feel at ease. Some sisters have found it comforting to speak with another mature sister. w24.10 10 ¶15-16

They had such programs in the 60s The M28 or M29 Davy Crockett Weapon System was a tactical nuclear recoilless smoothbore gun for firing the M388 nuclear projectile, armed with the W54 nuclear warhead, that was deployed by the United States during the Cold War. It was the first project assigned to the United States Army Weapon Command in Rock Island, Illinois.[3] It remains one of the smallest nuclear weapon systems ever built, incorporating a warhead with yields of 10 to 20 tons of TNT (42 to 84 GJ). It is named after American folk hero, soldier, and congressman Davy Crockett. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett_ They also had a similar program in the 80s The Special Atomic Demolition Munition (SADM), also known as the XM129 and XM159 Atomic Demolition Charges,[1] and the B54 bomb[2] was a nuclear man-portable atomic demolition munition (ADM) system fielded by the US military from the 1960s to 1980s but never used in combat. It had an estimated yield of up to 1 kiloton of TNT. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Atomic_Demolition_Munition

Do you use a drone? 🤣🤣🤣

I wonder what type of breakfast serial he eats...

For sure! Actually, I have 3 brothers start parking every other space. When they reach 60% of the lot, I have 1 brother start at the beginning to park vehicles in the empty spaces. The 3 will join him after they finish their first assignment. When the program starts I dismiss the entire crew to attend the RC. I take over the entire lot(s). Get out YETI chair and cooler, find a shady tree, and watch for single vehicles entering. Oh, and this is when I have the most fun; I will stop any vehicle that is driving over 5 miles per hour. That applies to everybody. I stopped two Convention Committee brothers for driving over the 'posted' speed limit.🤣 The very ones that instructed us to stop anyone. With a straight face, I stopped a sister, and asked her (like a State Trooper), "Do you know why I stopped you? Can i see your license and registration?" 😎Then I started smiling.🤣

'course there is an answer to this, There must be a glitch in the system.

The question is not if it is 'on par' - the question is, 'is it music'? Yes, it is music and it sounds fairly good. Could an actual human chorus sound better if you are there in person, sure ... but if this was played on a radio many would not assume AI. BTW - since you seem to enjoy non-AI music played in the hands of someone with tremendous mastery of the instruments you might like this YT channel Justin Johnson - YouTube Also, just curious, have you listened to any of my AI songs in this thread?

Yeah, I just made this in 5 minutes: https://suno.com/s/rHwXveT7fvTOX0Wv Do you think it's on par with what an actual musician can do? I don't
