  1. Past hour
  2. "attending" refers to a physician who is a fully licensed, board-certified doctor and has completed all training, including medical school and residency.
  3. Today
  4. Today I am so grateful for the beauty that surrounded me this morning. I'll see if I can upload a photo ... The view is from my window in the writing room. What beauty I'm referring to, is the white mountains and the pink northern sky (sun below the horizon until 28-ish Jan). Sorry for all the trees blocking the view. It's called "dark time", because the daylight only lasts a few hours. But what light it is during those hours! (If the sky is clear). I feel compelled to quote Psalm 145:7a: "They will bubble over as they recall your abundant goodness" (The actual photo is from Jan 6, but today was the same beauty. I sit there and sip my morning coffee)
  5. Just a clarification, China blocks access to WhatsApp. End-to-end encryption means the message is encrypted on the sender’s device and can be decrypted only on the recipient’s device using their private key. No intermediary—including the service provider or a government monitoring the network—can read the message content in transit.
  6. With the current US President, everything is about money. Any deal he makes, anything he agrees to, anything he rejects comes down to dollars and cents. This has been his manner of operation his entire life. Follow the money.
  7. Regarding the UN, I asked Google if a country has to pay for the agencies it is a member of besides paying for being a member of the UN. Answer: A country pays a required fee (assessed) to be a member and participate in the general UN system, and then chooses to pay extra (voluntary) for specialized agencies or programs they want to support. Though not required maybe this is all about the money supporting the UN.
  8. Iran cities are being set on fire. If the regime falls… the World Order geo political will change. the scene of this world is changing so fast
  9. I've wondered if dark energy and dark matter are the same thing.
  10. In the end the decision making process should always fall on the individual. We still have to make decisions when doing google searches and its the same with AI. I think if you are using AI to do research that it should be step 1 of the process not the final step. I use AI everyday for work and i will tell you. It makes ALOT of mistakes. I would say that about 30% of the info it gives me is incorrect. The is a 70% correct percentage. 70% is a failing grade in school and colleges. I need to double check everything it does. Mind you, in many processes, it is faster for me to correct than to do the full work. Anyways my point is, you should not use AI info as the end all say all. it should just be a guide to point you to the right direction. But the same could be said about google searches. nothing on the internet is vetted. so even google searches are full of bad data. AI and google should be tools used only to get us started, but the decision making and contemplation should still fall on us. I know people in the world that know the bible better than me, yet they don't contemplate what they read. they dont get "transformed by making your mind over" and "prove to yourself" like we do. That is why our understanding is much better. I love AI but I will be the first to say that if you depend on AI, you will be greatly mislead. Last year some poor guy was depressed and used AI as a therapist. AI told him that the best way to get rid of his problems was to kill himself and the guy did. I mean, AI wasn't wrong, he did not have any problems after that, however, it was not good advice. We can't be like that guy, we still need to use our brains and our own discernment.
  11. I don't find this as a Christian environment. Even if you don't smoke anything. Would you go to a gentlemen's club for a lunch buffet? no you wouldn't. even if you don't "look" or partake and are there strictly for the lunch specials. its not a Christian environment. I find hookah bars to be the same. but then again, scripturally there isnt anything saying that he can't. so its a conscience issue I guess. kinda like the GBU about toasting stated.
  12. exact early xylophones are current today. today
  13. Australia is the hottest place on Earth (image found on another website). Victoria has a bushfire in Walwa currently over 4000 hectares in size. Tomorrow's going to be over 40°C for most of the state. This is...not good. And apparently unusual summer weather.
  14. We got (only) one of the new tracts 2 weeks ago. Poland.
  15. This is what the US is withdrawing from (according to the official White House website): Sec. 2. Organizations from Which the United States Shall Withdraw.

    • 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.”

      I bought a watch with a dark blue dial and a light brown leather strap, and a pair of dark red eyeglasses, with a gradient to even darker red. Do you all think these items will clash, color-wise?

      Hey you guys, I know I disappeared for a bit. I figured I would let you guys know as to why. I made a post a while ago (iykyk), i mentioned due to all the conflict I would write a letter about it, but before then I talked to an elder in my congregation (Same one mentioned in the post). He said he was aware of this site and said that apostates would run around and confuse people (Which that post was causing a lot of conflicting/confusing views). He told me to stay away from this site. Now don't get me wrong, i love a lot of yall, and i know there are a lot of older and more seasoned brothers and sisters up on here that i know are legit (looks at the admins of the site and gives a thumbs up) but IDK about everyone else. So I decided for myself to just leave until I can become a bit more spiritually mature and not be easily mislead.

      I'll pop in whenever something cool happens to me (One thing that was cool is that my SIL (non witness) got a letter from a witness, i actually got in touch with the said witness and we had a nice conversation until she got a scam pig butchering text a day after we started talking, now the sister isn't responding to me (Which is fine, i 100% dont blame her)).
       
      Anyways, until the next time i pop back up. Stay safe <3

I have a good news for you my friend there: I'm so grateful that i have decided to be part of Jehovah's Witnesses organization officially, and have been baptized at my local congregation on December 27th, 2025.
       
      Thank you very much for your grace, Jehovah! You have changed my life to be better through your son Jesus Christ. 🥺 I received many gifts and greeting cards from bro & sis in my congregation. What a touching and encouraging moment! I truly feel so blessed and loved. 🥰 That's all the update from me. May we all continue to endure to the end, proved our loyalty to God'a Kingdom, until we will enter paradise together. 🤗

      I just noticed on your profile that you write the Bitter Winter blog. I love reading it. There are a few posts or links to it on another site called "Quora" (it's a basic question and answer site) that I'm active on. Please keep writing.

      The 22 doctrines of Jehovah's Witnesses
       
      I broke down what defines our religion in 22 doctrines:
       
      • Jehovah is Almighty God.
      • The Holy Spirit is His power.
      • Jesus Christ is His holy Son.
      • The purpose of life is to enter a loving relationship with God by worshipping none other than Him.
      • The Bible is His inerrant revelation.
      • God’s purpose is to sanctify his name by fulfilling His promises of everlasting peace in the world.
      • Salvation is based on exercising faith in God through the Messiah’s ransom sacrifice.
      • Christ has been resurrected from the dead and ascended to Heaven to sit at the right hand side of God and be crowned as King for all who submit to him.
      • The earth will become a perfect Paradise for righteous mankind.
      • 144,000 chosen ones will reign in Heaven alongside Christ.
      • The resurrection of the flesh is a sure hope to come.
      God will bring destruction upon evil.
      • We must feel and show love to all people.
      • We must value life.
      • We must preach the Gospel of God’s Kingdom as best as we can.
      • We must remain politically neutral.
      • We must respect the authorities.
      • We must act in unity with our spiritual brothers and sisters.
      • We must abstain from blood.
      • We must abstain from sexual immorality.
      • We must abstain from idolatry.
      • We must abstain from associating with the wicked.
