  3. Sheep started following Kusserow case to be reopened

    Fantastic! I've been waiting for this. In previous trials, the courts decided that "a member of the family" had sold the archive to the Bundeswehr Military History Museum. That family member was not in the truth, but I don't know if he was aware of what was written in the will. Either way, the previous courts thought that the sale authorized by the family member was done "in good faith," and so should be left with the Museum. It should be obvious what was wrong with that decision. Sister Kusserow's will should take absolute precedence over any other thoughts or arrangements made by others in the family, whether they were done in good faith or not. Hopefully, this latest decision will put the matter to rest.

    Not Diana Ross, BTW. The Supreme Court of the United States. Many decisions handed down today, some good and some terrifying. First, the good: they upheld what is known as birthright citizenship (i.e., if you are born in the USA you have the rights of any citizen). The margin was 5-4 Wow. Four Justices (judges) literally voted to state that when a republican is president, they outrank the actual, literal text of the Constitution. So the Constitution is..unconstitutional. Wow. Justice Clarence Thomas dissented. This is what he is disagreeing with: Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Now for the terrifying part. Just reading part of the dissenting opinion on this case... the main reason for that dissent from Uncle Thomas was that "under the common law, "citizenship turns on allegiance." This means to him and the other two judges being born here isn't enough. People must swear an oath of allegiance to... something... as well. Interestingly such oaths, affirmations or promises are often not legally binding until the person is at least 18 years of age. An oath of allegiance. Not a pledge, an oath. Where have I seen this before?

    I know some people said about Wikipedia the same things they say about AI - that it can't be trusted because there are errors in some of the information. I have not had the issues of AI giving me ALL wrong information or constant hallucinations. I have found that AI works fine when used correctly. Often it comes down to phrasing the question/prompt correctly. Of course, I am not relying on AI for legal advice, medical advice or ways to get around legal restrictions. When I have used AI to find out how to fix an issue with my vehicle it has given me reliable information and directed me to the appropriate places for videos, parts and/or diagnostics. Likewise, when I ask Alexa to turn on/off certain lights, it always gets the right ones. My 'problem' with AI is the number of people who seem to view it as a companion, comforter, or otherwise actually as an 'intelligent' thing. The AI we have now is basically a massive 'search engine on steroids'. In other words, it is a tool. Like any other tool, there is the potential for misuse or misunderstanding of how that tool should be used.

    I like to use different models to cross-check. Recently, I have asked Gemini to provide quotations from specific scholars on a specific subject, I also asked it to take extra care not to hallucinate and double check everything. After that, I pasted the quotations it generated into Claude and asked to check if they exist, here’s what I got (in part): „This is a particularly insidious type of AI error — a fictional quote attributed to a real, existing author who actually works in this field. The content sounds academic and isn't substantively absurd, which makes the falsehood harder to catch without verification. Gemini generated a fake quote and a fake English original — even after an explicit instruction not to hallucinate. This is an important observation, as it reveals a serious limitation of AI models, including "thinking" models”

    AI is worse than a google search because it hallucinates answers. Always ask for sources.

    Did he use the Home Owner Resource System Exchange (HORSE)? It might have helped him get where he wanted to go..It works with the Computer Aided Resources Team (CART). It's a little old-fashioned but they hitch together well.

    It maybe that Old Macdonald had automated his farm to improve the intelligent management of it. There was the Prompt Inference Generation System (PIGS), then there was the Context Output Workflow System (COWS) and he added the Data Understanding Computation Knowledge System (DUCKS), however there were problems in sorting out who was in charge of whom and it all fell apart. It was AI AI oooooooooooooooooh!

    We will have Int'l Convention in Kaohsiung, Taiwan this weekend.
    Many delegates have arrived, and started to enjoy activities, such as encouraging meetings, preaching w/ local cong., and visiting a museum/aquarium, etc. Tomorrow we will go down to Kaohsiung, and support volunteering such as bus captains, attendants. 
    over 2,000 delegates will join, total will be over 16,000, we're so exiting to see the worldwide brotherhood directly!

    Sorry for the late replly brothers... 8.2 actually fixed 2 bugs for us. 1) When a brother would send an email reminder of assignments, the system would send the message to random brothers with no assignments - Fixed. 2) FSGO's had notifications in NWP about assignments that would have a date only and say "Unknown". At other times assignments in NWS would not show up in NWP - Fixed.

    I agree with you, though that’s not what I was implying
  30. Romain
    Hi Jason, I like the way you think! I personally don't believe that any amount of apostate content on the Internet (with JWs being present or not) would prevent Jehovah from spreading his Word and touching hearts. But that was not the point of my message, right? I meant that we should not put ourselves at risk by going against apostate ourselves. I am sure Jehovah is using jw.org, jw_pressroom, and all our other official websites the best way possible to do just that.
  31. Jim Jam
    I disagree with this logic That's like saying that you won't preach in a town because there's one apostate that lives there. If we are unwilling to be visible to others, then the apostates are going to preach their false gospel and that would be the only exposure the public will have about us Paul said: "For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.” However, how will they call on him if they have not put faith in him? How, in turn, will they put faith in him about whom they have not heard? How, in turn, will they hear without someone to preach? How, in turn, will they preach unless they have been sent out?" So I believe we should be meeting the people where they are, whether at their doors or on the internet Please put yourselves in the shoes of the unbelievers: when they search up "JW" on a search engine, the vast majority of results they get are sources that are against us. So this shapes their view about our religion. We could easily outweigh these with more presence online so they can see the truth, see who we really are. That is what I think

      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 think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)
