Wednesday, September 23 There is accomplishment through many advisers.—Prov. 15:22. When making decisions, love will motivate us to seek the advantage of “the other person” and to be modest. (1 Cor. 10:23, 24, 32; 1 Tim. 2:9, 10) We will then make a decision that reflects our love and respect for others. If you are making a major decision, think about what it would take to implement it. Jesus taught us to “calculate the expense.” (Luke 14:28) So consider the amount of time, resources, and effort that you would need to invest to make the decision work. In some cases, you might consult your family to determine what each member would need to do to support the decision. Why is this kind of planning valuable? It may reveal that your decision needs some adjustments or that a different option is more practical. And when you involve your family members and listen to their input, they will more readily work with you to make the decision succeed. w25.01 18-19 ¶14-15

Put on your glasses Dusty, its 194.6 🤣

You are only 54 lbs from being a ton! Come on! You can do it!!!

Put the chocolate down, then get back on the scale.

I went on a weighing scale to see how much I weigh. I thought I weigh around 200 pounds. I was way off. The scale show that I weigh 1,946 LBS. I guess I'm eating to much chocolate. The life I go through

Where were you when Diana died? I was asleep my young son had been watching the news and dashed upstairs to tell me

I wasn't born. That's where I was.😆 My parents were born 1943, when did the harbour get bombed?

My wife and I were privileged to be approved as delegates to the Internation Convention in Italy in 2001, and in Japan in 2003. At the time my small CPA firm was expanding and I was buying a lot of "better" computer junque. Local computer stores did not have what I needed. I had to buy "on line." They would not send the equipment without a credit card. I had bunches of American Express "Rewards Points" that I was able to transfer to Delta for "Frequent Flyer" miles. So, air fare was not a problem. I do not remember for a certainty, but I believe the "land tour" portion of our cost for each one was close to $3,000 each. That was a long time ago. You might be able to do it for the $6,000 number you mentioned. I suggest going on line to price commercial week long land tours offered by tour companies. That will probably give you a number to think about. As I recall, the arrangements through the Society were less than a week long trip through a commercial company at the time. But, the last significant travel I did was in 2007. Prices are certainly higher now. Thanks, Jim

It's a smart move.

Wow, we switched from the UN topic to smart TVs, I love you guys 😄

To anyone who has been a delegate before? Ideas on how much $$$ I should set aside for one of the Europe Conventions? I'm reading $3k-6k per person...is that about right? I'm assuming on the higher end...

Vera Rubin Observatory detects one of the smallest and faintest satellite galaxies ever seen ‪—‬ before the telescope's mission even began By Abha Jain Edited Brandon Specktor, Laura Mondragón Published 1 hour ago Astronomers looking at Vera C. Rubin Observatory test data have discovered 'Aquarius IV', believed to be a brand new satellite galaxy of the Milky Way located 350,000 light-years away. In one of the first major discoveries from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile, scientists have revealed a previously unknown galaxy orbiting the Milky Way. Described in a study that hasn't been peer-reviewed, the galaxy, named Aquarius IV, is one of the lightest, faintest and farthest satellite galaxies ever seen.

Even farther — beyond the edge of the Milky Way — astronomers using the Vera C. Rubin Observatory have discovered what they believe to be an ultra-dim, never-before-seen dwarf galaxy in orbit around ours, named Aquarius IV. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSC

I wish I was nearby. Remotes are my jam.. and the Phillips TV is really so easy 😉 May be no need to wait for a brother- plenty of sisters know how to sort those things out, too! You won't need to find two (like you would for a brother's help) but you could still bake 😄

I do have a smart tv. Phillips Roku TV 65 inch under 1;year old. Just can't figure it out. So much I can't figure out. Its embarrassing. Now I have 7 remotes in my living room and can never find the right one. FP remote, picture frame remote for Kincaid portrait, DVD , a remote for a faux tree, the music remote and the tv, Roku, and Xiaomi! I'm to the point I need to attach them with a string to each device!

I have an LG smart TV I only need to cast if I'm watching the meeting on Zoom. For other JW visuals, I use the TV's built in browser and look up jw.org like on a computer. There are built-in apps for other things - Netflix, Amazon, etc. I learned recently that Sony TVs don't have a built-in browser!😵‍💫 My son has a beautiful, big, sparkly TV but uses his laptop and HDMI cord to view Broadcasts, etc. So 2010s for him... 🙄😂

But if you have a smart tv, you can skip using the box to cast and go directly into your tv's menu to do it.

I use ChatGPT. Even after I got a lecture regarding these sites, (from my granddaughter) Those data sites, and the energy they suck from the earth. i gave it thought and these sites are used by people i respect. So, i sally forth. I’m enjoying it!

you initiate the cast with your phone first and then it will search for something to cast to and your tv box will come up and you click connect.

I just bought the Xiaomi TV Box S off Amazon. I finally got it hooked up but can't figure out how to cast. Time to call a sharp minded brother to come help and bake him something special!

For those of us who have room to stock up on food and other necessities, that is a good thing. For those of us who don't, we have brothers and sister who do and will share - Jehovah will take of the rest. Do what you can, when you can is all Jehovah asks.

if you have a smart tv, you can mirror cast whatever is on your phone to the tv.

Then you hear from the back of the room. "Don't worry, here, we will give you all of our power and authority"
