I don't have any information that will cause me any more trouble than I already have. I don't have any money to steal, my credit is terrible and my life is boring. I fear nothing.

Why would a dialect be an imperfection? It's just a way languages change over time due to migration, new developments/ tech, discovering new things that need words for them. Anyway- I love all the different languages, cultures, art, music (which styles often reflects the language it comes from) etc. The more things are different from me, the better I like them. We speak the Pure Language now- that's good enough for unity, imo. Actual spoken languages can stay unique. ☺️ We don't know how things will play out in reality so I guess we'll see.

Looks like the access to these updates is back, from what I can see from their news page is that there was a major web server upgrade and then there was a faulty reporting to the servers and they had to halt until the data was fixed, most likely due to staff shortage. Once they have updated which they will confirm, I will update.

Jehovah frames kindness as a transaction— between a servant and Himself. Kindness is an expression of love, and love always moves us to action, also. When we help, without recognition or any expectation of return, Jehovah makes Himself the debtor. That shows how He identifies the lowly and how He observes the motives behind what we do. This steadies us when our circumstances change. Service may look different now, and our abilities may not be what they once were. Still, nothing given to Jehovah in the past has been forgotten, and nothing done faithfully has lost its value. What matters to him is not how visible the work appears, but that love continues to be shown. Each act of consideration, no matter how small, is noticed by Jehovah and carefully remembered. He is never hurried in repaying, yet he never overlooks what is done out of love for him and for others. Knowing this helps us give freely, without weighing results or seeking notice, confident that Jehovah sees and values what others may never see.

Thanks Brother for sharing flashbacks into your family's multi storied history. It makes for an interesting read delving into your treasured past legacy. How to Perk Coffee: A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners - Coffea Alchemy

In the story, it's during the Final test at the end of the 1000 years. But yeah...

It's enough to make you wonder if the demons will use some supernatural forces at the end of this system. Anyway .... We know who we serve and we know He'll never ask us to break His rules.

Thanks that was my thinking with the Data Protection Laws in the EU. Well still will have a VPN on the Surface Pro just in case.

While I haven't tried, there should be no problem. Servers should be available worldwide. I think the main reason to have several servers is to distribute the load. Also for legal reasons. For example, European laws are much stricter and require a lot more paperwork if data such as names, phone numbers and addresses are stored outside the European Union, so having a specific server for Europe solves that (actually that server is in Switzerland, which is not part of the UE, but is in the list of EU-approved countries).

I am not a coffee drinker. Don't care for it ... never have. My dad on the other hand drank his black and strong. In the days when they still used a percolator, he filled the grounds basket to the top and cooked it on the gas stove for at least 10 minutes of active perking. When they got an electric percolator, he would unplug it when it finished and plug it back in so it would run a second perk cycle. He spent 20 years in the US Navy back in the late 30's through the early 50's. Much of that was at sea where they kept a designated steam kettle just at a simmer 24/7 so there was always coffee available. They just kept adding grounds and water as needed until grounds would creep into the coffee - then, without turning it off, they would scoop as much of the old grounds out as they could, add fresh grounds and water. It was never washed inside. Interestingly enough - my dad, who drank is black coffee so strong that it could almost stand up a spoon, was raised as a Mormon.

Agree. Zoom allows us to put in the video feed and sends it out while still using Zoom. JW Conf Interactive does not seem to have that feature. We aren't changing anything right now. I'm just looking to see if it's possible. Maybe a future upgrade so those with Roku can continue to use it as is. Seems like right now we would have to choose one or the other.

Monday, December 15 The one showing favor to the lowly is lending to Jehovah, and He will repay him for what he does.—Prov. 19:17. Jehovah notices even the smallest act of kindness that we extend to others. He views it as a valuable sacrifice and as a debt that he is going to repay. If you formerly served as a ministerial servant or an elder, Jehovah remembers the work you did in the past and the love that motivated you to do it. (1 Cor. 15:58) He also observes the love that you continue to show. Jehovah wants all of us to grow in love for him and for others. We can strengthen our love for Jehovah by reading his Word and meditating on it and by regularly talking to him in prayer. We can grow in our love for our brothers and sisters by assisting them in practical ways. As our love grows, we will draw ever closer to Jehovah and to our spiritual family. And we will enjoy those friendships forever! w23.07 10 ¶11; 11 ¶13; 13 ¶18

Calm before the storm is not just an expression, it is a reality just before a hurricane

someone said coffee.🫶

2 programs instead of 1 , seems more complicated to me.

rains can turn a quiet afternoon into a steady rhythm that invites reflection and calm.

Big mass shooting in Australia, 16 dead including child, 40 in the hospital. It’s classified as a terrorism. Jewish community was a target.

One issue I've noticed (at least on Windows), is scrolling through the contents of a publication. If there is lots of chapters or articles, it goes very slow - even hangs for while. Example the More Topics or YPA article series.

Thank you. The book made my skin crawl.

Tamed hair is an asset especially when it rains.

Or the underlying reason we have dialects is due to imperfection, so even that could be a thing of the past. Sin and imperfection has created beauty as well as pain. Beautiful art has come from people's suffering and pain.

Or Jehovah will instantly restore humanity to the same language just as he divided the languages.
