God approved religion changes from time to time. So we learn to be loyal to Jehovah first and foremost.

Perhaps, when it comes to AI, especially of we are going to post it on a forum for others to read, we should keep in mind the words of Paul at 1 Corinthians 14:19, "Nevertheless, in a congregation I would rather speak five words with my mind, that I might also instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue." A short post about a point that really stood out to you while doing "personal study" has much greater interest and impact that a "thousand words" in the tongue of AI.

Imagine saying to the brothers, “I let AI say my prayers to Jehovah. They’re really good prayers….some of the best on the internet.” Right away, you’d hear: Noooo! Why? Because prayer is personal worship. Jehovah can tell when it’s not coming from our own mind and heart. That’s what He values most….our sincerity, not polished words. And the same principle applies to study. If we tell a program, “Give me the important points of Isaiah 9 and 10,” we may get information, but we miss the worship. Personal study and meditation aren’t just academic exercises; they’re acts of devotion. They’re how we let Jehovah’s word sink into our heart. Joshua who read things in an undertone.. Of course, we don’t want to get too rigid about where the line is. We all meditate on information we receive, whether from publications, talks, or discussions. But there does need to be a point of caution. If we outsource the process entirely, we weaken our inner faith instead of strengthening it. So the safeguard is this: reading, reflecting, and praying over scripture ourselves. That’s what makes study worship, not just information gathering. That is what really draws the real me to Jehovah.. if that concept is what Jehovah loves , maybe we shouldn’t be so quick with the quick answer…

AI answer to John 1:1 would still leave a person confused as to what to believe. If you did the research on JW.org online, there would be no confusion as to what to believe. AI will also tell you that it is highly likely that religion will never be done away with - our study of the Bible proves that to be completely false. That's why I don't defer to AI in these types of matters, AI will never put Jehovah's thinking on a matter first.

Thanks I know the name now

Oh well, I have nothing to do. If the word is almighty God, then how would they answer John 1:18, in which it mentions that no man hath seen God at any time in KJ Bible? Plus, if they want to mention that there is no "a" or "an" in Greek. Fine, then why is there an "a" in Acts 28:6 in KJ Bible?

I am sorry, brother, if something like this is happening in our brotherhood, something that should never happen. But look at the text of 2 Timothy 3:1 to 9 APPLY THIS TO CONGREGATIONS AROUND THE WORLD! For men will love only themselves, they will love money, they will be conceited, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, disloyal, unnatural, unable to make agreements, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love for what is good, traitors, stubborn, full of pride, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, and will maintain an appearance of devotion to God, but will reject the power of that devotion. Avoid such people.  Among them are men who slyly worm their way into families and captivate weak women, burdened with sins, led astray by various desires, who are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth. These men have completely corrupt minds and are disapproved in regard to the faith. 9 However, they will not go very far, for their folly* will be clear to all, as in the case of those two men. Note that Paul also applied this to the congregation because he mentioned two people who were members of Israel and were with Moses. There is a Watchtower from 1988, 15/8 pp. 28-30, with the theme “How to Maintain Our Christian Unity,” which addresses two sides of living with brothers: Social Contacts. “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35) “Keep your foot from your neighbor’s house, lest he be weary of you.” — Proverbs 25:17. In other words, be loving But keep your distance! The reality is that we are approaching the Great Tribulation, and it will happen!

It's a figure of speech

I am also thinking of it albeit some caveats. Somehow this will require a lot of planning. I strongly believe that the organization would not use closed-source models like OpenAI, Google’s Gemini, or Claude, for its internal workflow through APIs. On the other hand, training an AI model is very expensive, costing a lot of GPUs and tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. The other alternative is using open-source AI models. These don’t carry privacy risks. Two options for this. The organization fine-tunes the model or retrains it. Fine-tuning an open-source model is like teaching a Bible student new Bible truths. The Bible student might still hold on to past habits and find it hard to break away from them. Hence, the open-source model might still hold on to previous biases. These may cause hallucinations and inconsistencies in its output. Retraining is like stripping away the old habits and putting on a new personality. The issue is retraining an open-source model is also expensive. I see this as a route for the organization, but it’s a very lengthy process and requires lots of expertise. Also, having an AI infrastructure integrated with MEPS would be very useful for all branches. The speed of spiritual provisions in many languages would accelerate faster than ever.

I would really like this new feature on our website and the JW app, such as reporting activity and being informed about assignments in meetings, without the need for an unofficial app.

Sleep paralysis prevents people from thrashing about when they dream. Sometimes you wake up and the sleep paralysis is still there. That used to happen to me when I fell asleep on my back. I would also imagine someone in the room with me. It was very awkward. I would try to talk, and my wife says I made a buzzing sound. I guess sleep paralysis affect my speech also.

The Nazirites were zealous Israelites who made certain sacrifices to serve Jehovah in a special way. Comment: The Nazirite vow was a voluntary expression of exclusive dedication to Jehovah, reflecting deep love and gratitude. Although temporary, it required significant sacrifices and self-denial, highlighting a sincere desire to please God. This personal choice revealed that friendship with Jehovah was considered more valuable than any comfort or momentary pleasure of everyday life. Practical Lesson: Just as the Nazirites made voluntary sacrifices out of love for Jehovah, we can examine what we are willing to give up to please him today. Do we give our best at the meetings, in the ministry, and in our daily conduct? Our choices show if we truly value our friendship with God and if we put him first in all aspects of life.

Only add those addresses to the territory. It's not like NWS adds all the addresses for you. You have to add them so only add the ones you want.

I believe that in the near future, a new section, “AI,” will appear on the Organization's website, jw.org, for more in-depth research of requested information, preparation for meetings, preparation of speeches and points for presentation on stage, preparation for field service, searching for questions in the online library, and so on. I believe such a project is already being planned, because there is a need for this. It may not have the same name as we are used to, but there is a great need for this today for publishers using the organization's website. 🤓

The controversy lies in the translation of the word for God (theòs). The Grammatical Issue In Greek, nouns often have a definite article (like the word "the"), written as ho. In Clause B ("the Word was with God"), the Greek is ton theon (The God). This refers to the specific person of the Father. In Clause C ("the Word was God"), the word theòs lacks the definite article (ho). It is "anarthrous" (without article). Interpretation A: "The Word was God" (Trinitarian View) Most scholars and standard translations (KJV, NIV, ESV, NASB) translate this as "The Word was God." Grammatical Argument: Greek grammar rules (specifically Colwell’s construction) suggest that when a predicate noun (God) comes before the verb, it usually drops the "the" but remains definite or qualitative. The Meaning: John is describing the quality or essence of the Word. The Word possesses the same "God-ness" or divine nature as the Father, without being the Father. Refuting the "Two Beings" theory: If John had used "The God" here, it would mean Jesus is the Father (a view known as Sabellianism). By leaving out "The," John distinguishes the persons while equating their nature. Interpretation B: "The Word was a god" (Nontrinitarian View) The New World Translation (NWT), used by Jehovah's Witnesses, renders this as "The Word was a god." Grammatical Argument: They argue that because the definite article (ho) is missing, the noun should be treated as indefinite ("a god") to show class or category, similar to how one might say "John is a man." The Meaning: This view argues that Jesus is a divine being—a powerful spirit creature—but he is not the Almighty God (Jehovah). He is a separate, created being; essentially a "second god." The Result: This creates a theology of two distinct beings: One Almighty God, and one lesser god. Summary of Interpretations Feature Trinitarian View (Standard) Nontrinitarian View (e.g., Jehovah's Witnesses) Translation "And the Word was God." "And the Word was a god." Grammar Focus Theos describes the nature/essence (Qualitative). Lack of "the" (ho) means indefinite (a god). Relationship 2 distinct Persons sharing 1 Being. 2 distinct Beings (Creator and creature). Status of Jesus Co-equal and co-eternal with the Father. Created by the Father; powerful but subordinate. Conclusion The text refers to "two" because the Word is explicitly stated to be with God. The controversy is strictly whether this distinction results in two separate gods (one Big "G" and one little "g") or two persons sharing the one infinite nature of God. The vast majority of Greek scholarship supports the "Qualitative" view ("The Word was fully God in nature"), arguing that if the Apostle John had intended to describe Jesus as "a god" in the lower sense, he had other specific Greek words (such as theios) available to make that distinction clearer. clause c 😀

Because false religion including trinity beliefs will be destroyed in the near future? Perhaps I'm guessing this right. 😆😅
