  2. Rolf Furuli has sent letter of complaint to the authorities regarding our exclusion practices. But has not brought any cases against us in the legal system. He does not shows any sign to be humbel and return to Jehovah. He is on the contrary! Regards Nils Ask

  5. Hi everyone, I wanted to share a technical solution we implemented in our Kingdom Hall regarding the internet connection. As you know, the instructions from the organization state that every Hall with internet access should have a Wi-Fi router with a password, which can be given to publishers who need it. A simple and effective solution. In our Hall, however, we went a step further. In addition to the password-protected Wi-Fi for internal use, we set up a second open Wi-Fi network — no password required — but restricted exclusively to jw.org. This means that anyone connecting to this network can browse the organization's website and also download content through the JW Library app, while all other sites and services are automatically blocked. The practical result is that during meetings or study groups, brothers and sisters can connect freely without having to ask for a password, and use both jw.org and JW Library without any restrictions, while the network remains fully protected from inappropriate use. Regarding the internal network, the password-protected Wi-Fi is set as a hidden network — meaning it does not appear in the list of available networks and can only be connected to by manually entering the network name. This adds an extra layer of security for internal use. This solution requires an OPNsense firewall (which can run on an old unused PC or inexpensive dedicated hardware), a managed switch, and a Wi-Fi access point. The setup involves two separate networks: a hidden, password-protected LAN for internal use, and a dedicated VLAN with DNS filtering that allows only jw.org and its CDN subdomains. I want to make it clear that this is not meant as an alternative to the instructions received — those should always be followed. It is simply an additional option for Halls that already have the necessary hardware and want to offer something more convenient and automated for the brothers. In our specific situation, when this solution was presented to the IT department at Bethel, we were told that it fully satisfied the conditions of the instructions — and was actually considered more precise. If anyone is interested in the technical details or would like to know how to replicate this setup, I am happy to share more information. I hope this can be helpful to someone!
  6. I know a brother who knows him. Seems pride got the better of him. Pride can get the better of even angels after all 🤨
  7. Sorry, I couldn’t find threads related to this particular study on the forum. I wanted to share this full report as it wasn’t available before, I only saw the summary of preliminary findings
  8. Looking over the information... It's not even that good a distraction. Most of the images are already publicly released, or from 50 years ago; there's no 'smoking gun'. One thing you can always count on a government to do is over-dramatize the trivia, while downplaying the fact.
  9. Made a vow I'm struggling to keep, but I won't give up, I'll keep fighting.
  10. I have met people that say they always feel like people look right through them ... with that sentiment in mind, I created this song Crowded Room
  11. Look at it this way: If, at any point in history, we develop time travel, we now have cover for going back to this time period.
  12. I have merged a lot of the alpha features over into the more stable full release. Implementing 10 plus languages. And the extract and share feature along with a new tag manager. That's a little bit more streamlined and easier to use. The extract and share feature is only available if you upload only one file. There's still going to be bugs and issues and hiccups. I will try to fix everything within the day of finding out about it. Please if everyone you could just let me know if you run to any issues or any hiccups I want to try and keep this staple yet feature Rich.
  13. There is your answer. Jehovah would not allow it. Theref6, it's not worth worrying about. The theory assumes time travel to the past is possible. This is yet another limiting factor to the theory. Why worry about something that is likely not even possible. Further, knowing what we know about the future, what would the moral implications be? Why would someone from the new system willingly choose to come to the past and expose themselves to Satan's sick and twisted world? What would the moral implications be of seeking to immerse oneself into the filth of this system? Why bother traveling back in time when everyone from those past events has been resurrected? Want to meet Einstein or Gengis Khan or Noah? Just go next door and say hi. Yes, I know seeing the historical events is an attraction, but is that really worth all the effort? People who propose such theories have no knowledge about Jehovah, his Kingdom, his purpose for the Earth, or what the immediate future holds.
  14. What about the opinion on UAP being humans from the future? (Using technology of the future to travel back in time and even protect today's humans from doing stupid things) That theory kind of blew my mind at first since even the technology we have today has advanced so much compared to 100 years ago. On top of that, a lot of UAPs were seen near nuclear sites and basically places that are high risk for humans. It is fascinating to me... Although, surely Jehovah wouldn't allow the planet/timeliness to be tempered with, just as he would not allow the earth to be destroyed by things such as a nuclear war. Any thoughts?
  15. Invented is sometimes used when all someone did was alter something someone else already made
  16. Jabber Wocky was a nineteenth century nonsense poem by Lewis Carroll using words he invented.
  17. Yesterday
  18. With Jehovah’s help my brother. All credit goes to him.
  19. Well, I'll be a monkeys uncle, you're right 👍🏻
  20. Either one is fine… Angel is my first name, and Lionel is my middle name. 😁 Thank you for the helpful advice and details, Jason. 👍 We will give it a try and see what we can grow; I’m sure it will be a fun and learning experience. A plus is that we'll enjoy eating what we manage to grow while trying to avoid becoming a supermarket for the bunnies. I appreciate your taking the time to share the info.
  21. All Let us listen what Jehovah says in Genesis 2:7,8. It makes since.
  22. Sure.. here's a link to some published studies: The Divergence of Neandertal and Modern Human Y Chromosomes https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4833433/ and The evolutionary history of Neanderthal and Denisovan Y chromosomes https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abb6460
  23. A person can sing Kingdom songs for fifty years and still never fully understand praise until sacrifice makes a sound only Jehovah hears.

    • Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      My dear, dear brother. You may be physically alone. But you are not alone. Of course you have Jehovah and his invisible family, all there. Then, us in our pitiful state, are here too. Loving you, and praying for you and you dear Cate. 
      Praying for you both dear ones. 
      The best is yet to come, and, yes, just around the corner. 
      In the meantime, Jehovah will see to the two of you. This I know.
      With much love, your sister, Bea

      A very fair rule: If you allow yourself something, then allow it to others as well. If you forbid something to others, then forbid it to yourself as well.
