  2. It comes as a shock to many that typically type 2 diabetes isn’t always caused by obesity… you can be stick thin and still develop it as often it is genetic, my doctor told me that it wasn’t a case of if I developed it but when! I was firstly given the label of genetic type 2 but after testing they now feel that I am type 1.5 or often referred to as LADA It makes me furious at times to hear people say that you ate too much sugar Lol as for reversing it… no you cannot reverse it despite popular reports, you can however control it and put it into remission. I find mine hard to control at times, and find that I can’t take medication too often as my blood sugars go way too low and I start to shake and feel desperate, so instead I watch every mouthful I eat and if I’m going off for a long walk or working in the garden all day then I make sure that I have some carbs on hand if I feel a hypo coming on
  3. Friday, May 15 You need to endure as part of your discipline.—Heb. 12:7. What would help the Hebrew Christians to endure the opposition they faced? The apostle Paul knew that they needed to have the right view of their trials. He thus explained that God may allow tests of faith as part of a Christian’s training. Such training can help one to cultivate and refine vital Christian qualities. By focusing on the end result of such trials, those Hebrew Christians would find it easier to endure. (Heb. 12:11) Paul urged the Hebrew Christians to endure trials with greater determination. He was in a good position to write to them about this. As a former persecutor of Christians, he knew what they were up against. He also knew how to endure persecution. After all, he experienced various forms of opposition after becoming a Christian.—2 Cor. 11:23-25. w24.09 12-13 ¶16-17
  4. I released an ebook on Lulu: End of All Kingdoms in The News, Presenting the famous “End of All Kingdoms in 1914” in The World of August 30, 1914. I present it here with links to purchase: End of All Kingdoms in The News This is my first time publishing a book. I also made a book trailer:
  5. This doesn't answer your question, but you can sometimes 'batch' download a bunch of 'updates'. In the JW Library, go to <library>, click on <books>, and look at the top menu bar. Does it say "pending updates"? If it does, click on the <pending updates> selection an when it opens, there should be the 'cloud' or 'hamburger' or whatever you call the download icon. If you select that, it will show all of the things waiting for download and begin installing them. If there are a lot, make sure you have room for them.

  8. When Judgment Becomes Peace — Part One — There is a kind of judgment that does not make the righteous tremble. Not because it is soft. Because it is clean. Human justice often arrives bruised by politics, dragging delay behind it like chains. And sometimes pride. Human rulership has always been strangely proud of its own confusion. But Jehovah judges with righteousness — and with faithfulness. That word matters. Faithfulness means He will be exactly who He has always been. Steady. Clear. Untouched by corruption. Untouched by panic. Untouched by the shifting winds that move human governments around like frightened leaves. And there are many frightened leaves right now. The earth has waited a very long time for rulership that does not rot from the inside.

  12. I know that I have lost control of my emotions several times around this issue. I've done wrong when I've judged others for what they choose to eat. (Romans 14:3) "Let the one eating not look down on the one not eating, and let the one not eating not judge the one eating, for God has welcomed him." I am sorry for acting that way and if in doing so I have caused you any harm or offense. I do want to clarify and help you to understand that at least in my case and possibly others, my anger towards vegan diets in particular is not about attachment to meat or food. There are other reasons why people rightfully get offended or upset. I'd watched several vegan/plant based documentaries in the past and done a lot of reading into it. My personal anger stems from having been lied to when I was sick and vulnerable only to end up even worse off (I believed their claims without physiological proof due to my delusional state at the time and without understanding the physiology due to my cognitive dysfunction), for the children who have suffered and died from vegan diets (while I do believe that whole food plant based diets are less toxic than what most people eat today, I do believe that they are insufficient, and there are now laws in some places to protect such children), and from my own failure of not realizing that those diets were based on the teachings of demons among groups such as the Seventh Day Adventists and Latter Day Saints.
  13. EL NIÑO/SOUTHERN OSCILLATION (ENSO) DIAGNOSTIC DISCUSSION issued by CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER/NCEP/NWS 14 May 2026 ENSO Alert System Status: El Niño Watch Synopsis: El Niño is likely to emerge soon (82% chance in May-July 2026) and continue through Northern Hemisphere winter 2026-27 (96% chance in December 2026-February 2027). In the past month, ENSO-neutral conditions continued, as indicated by near-average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the east-central equatorial Pacific Ocean [Fig. 1]. The latest weekly Niño-3.4 index value was +0.4°C, with the westernmost (Niño-4) and easternmost (Niño-1+2) indices at +0.5°C and +1.0°C, respectively [Fig. 2]. The equatorial subsurface temperature index (average from 180°-100°W) increased for the sixth consecutive month [Fig. 3], with widespread, significantly above-average subsurface temperatures across the equatorial Pacific [Fig. 4]. Westerly wind anomalies were observed over the western equatorial Pacific at low levels and were evident over the central and east-central Pacific at upper levels. Convection was near average on the equator near the Date Line and was suppressed around Indonesia [Fig. 5]. Collectively, the coupled ocean-atmosphere system reflected ENSO-neutral conditions. The North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) average, including the NCEP CFSv2 [Fig. 6], favors El Niño to form by next month and persist through Northern Hemisphere winter 2026-27. While confidence in the occurrence of El Niño has increased since last month, there is still substantial uncertainty in the peak strength of El Niño, with no strength categorization exceeding a 37% chance [Figs. 7 & 8]. The strongest El Niño events in the historical record are characterized by significant ocean-atmosphere coupling through the summer, and it remains to be seen whether this occurs in 2026. Stronger El Niño events do not ensure strong impacts; they can only make certain impacts more likely (see CPC outlooks for probabilities of seasonal anomalies). In summary, El Niño is likely to emerge soon (82% chance in May-July 2026) and continue through Northern Hemisphere winter 2026-27 (96% chance in December 2026-February 2027). This discussion is a consolidated effort of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NOAA's National Weather Service, and their funded institutions. Oceanic and atmospheric conditions are updated weekly on the Climate Prediction Center web site (El Niño/La Niña Current Conditions and Expert Discussions). A probabilistic strength forecast is available here. The next ENSO Diagnostics Discussion is scheduled for 11 June 2026
  14. Wife and I heard a humming noise from the Kitchen Range but couldn't figure out what was causing it. After a few days wife called the appliance store for a technician to come out. He took a few seconds to size up the situation and turned the overhead fan off. Another $100 down the drain.

  17. Hello, may I ask if there is a way to batch download all the books and videos?
  18. I don't get this 'definition'. If diabetes causes damage to cells through glycation from fructose and glucose and alcohols, and changing your diet flips insulin resistance to insulin sensitivity and allows for your cells to start healing again... is that not "reversal"? I've said it before and I'll say it again, but complete remission with T2D is entirely within the realm of possibility for most people without drugs or exercise or fasting. I'm not saying those things can't help in specific scenarios. It's known cause is the types of macronutrients in your diet over time, so the cure is simply adjusting those to a type that allows your body to use up what it has already stored. Once you do that, the ongoing damage stops. You may not be able to reverse all of the damage done to the organs or certain parts of the body, but our body was specifically created and designed to reverse the disease itself. There are many animals such as bears that induce insulin resistance in themselves, followed by hibernating to reverse it. Not to say that it doesn't damage their bodies, but Sumo wrestlers do something similar. Because of their extreme strength training regimen, much of their fat is stored subcutaneously rather than viscerally, meaning it does less damage to their organs and allows for easier reversal of their weight when they retire. Not long back, a new documentary was released called The Cholesterol Code. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GS8ZFCYN/ It's focused on a study of Cholesterol and the phenotype of Lean Mass Hyper Responders (of which I am one), and ends up in how diet can reverse atherosclerosis (after being ketogenic with very high saturated fat/calorie diet for several years I have been tested to have 0 arterial plaque despite 'high' 'bad' cholesterol) - but among several other examples of reversing varying chronic physical/mental illnesses, it goes into the very first portable blood glucose monitor and how people used to treat T1D before insulin became available. It also shows a family following this diet for their child with Type 1 Diabetes recovering significantly after changes and ending up only needing a very minimal amount of insulin per day.
  19. That would be included in a vegetarian diet. I was eating yogurt and ice cream. I've never tried Kefir, though. Based on my research and personal experience, a plant based diet is better for your health than a vegetarian one.

    • 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 was just talking to a brother whose son is in video services in the US. They are reducing staff and even discussing downsizing Ramapo - because they are able to use AI for so much of the artwork and videos.
       
      He was telling me that what used to take weeks is now taking days and with only a few people instead of a large staff. More and more are getting sent back into the field. They are even able reduce the number of people needed for acting out scenes. That is a lot of donated funds saved and more workers for the field. It won't surprise me if we see an update soon describing all the ways the GB has approved for AI usage.
       
      I know they will always have humans to review, edit and approve the final product; but most of our pictures and videos will be at least partially if not fully AI generated.

      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
