Inside of Noah's Ark.. Untitled 2026-10-22 17.21.54.mp4

Also trust that the brothers are constantly monitoring the website so that, if it were to get hacked, the altered information would be removed quickly and that steps would be taken to prevent users (us) from seeing the wrong information.

We know the voice of our shepherd. Remember the letter the KGB intercepted and the fake one they sent out? Real Christians could tell that the new letter wasn't biblically-based and so will we. We have discernment - we know what the Bible teaches and how to reason on principles. The GB will never ask us to sin, so we know not to follow those instructions. Our daily studies will make sure we are not fooled by false reasoning and we will easily spot and reject directions that go against scripture. Any instruction besides that might be a trick (such as "turn yourselves in"), but if we follow such instructions and they turn out to be a trap - so what? Is Jehovah too weak to rescue us? Of course not! And Jehovah will see that we fell into such a trap because we have faith in him. He may even turn the situation to our favor. So 1) we don't need to fear false scriptural directions because we know Jehovah's voice and 2) we don't need to fear a police trap because Jehovah can rescue us. What else is there to fear?

Perhaps Jesse did not love his son David as much as Jacob loved his son Joseph. However, we cannot say this with certainty or make such a definite statement. David was very young, and in Jesse’s eyes, he was an insignificant person. When Jesse presented his older sons, he was proud of them and hoped that they would achieve greater things in life. This is normal and natural for parents, but sometimes they put their other children in the background. This is something that happens in real life. Dear parents, do not divide your children into those who have good prospects and those who have not yet established themselves in life. In Jehovah’s eyes, every child is very important and precious.—1 Samuel 16:7 *** fl chap. 9 p. 118-119 par. 10-11 Training Children from Infancy *** 10 Each child is different, with a unique personality, and should be helped to develop in harmony with its individual inherited potential and gifts. If you train each child to develop its inherited strengths and abilities, it will not need to feel envy at the accomplishments of other children. Each child should be loved and appreciated for itself. While helping it to overcome or control wrong inclinations, you should not try to force the child into a predetermined mold. Rather, guide it to the best use of its own good personality traits. 11 A parent can foster a spirit of selfish competition by implying either the superiority or the inferiority of one child as compared with another. Whereas little children early in life show signs of inborn selfishness, they are initially free from ideas of rank, superiority, and feelings of self-importance. That is why Jesus could use a little child as an example to correct the spirit of ambition and concern for personal importance his disciples showed on a certain occasion. (Matthew 18:1-4) So, avoid comparing one child unfavorably with another. The child may take this as a rejection. First it will feel hurt, and if this treatment continues, it will likely turn hostile. On the other hand, the child presented as superior may become haughty and incur the dislike of others. As a parent, your love and acceptance should never be dependent upon how one child compares with another. Variety is delightful. An orchestra has many different kinds of instruments to add variety and richness, yet all are in harmony. Different personalities add flavor and interest to the family circle, yet harmony will not be impaired when all pattern themselves after their Creator’s right principles. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1101978009#h=13-14

It's like God is standing inside of a glass box in the middle of a crowd. He can see out of the box, but people from the outside only see a hazy mirror. Most people ignore the box or pretend it doesn't exist, but he takes notice of everyone who looks in his direction as they pass by, everyone who stands and stares, and everyone who sits down and ponders. They aren't the norm. If Jehovah were looking out at the world, would he see that our heart is pondering his name? Would he see spiritual hunger, good study habits, deep meditation? How often do we glance at Jehovah?

I always assume everybody has an external hard drive with all jwpub / mp3 / pdf / mp4 content downloaded, tucked away in the disaster backpack ... 😎 Off course also a rugged laptop to have it available without internet. But maybe I read to much prepper blogs. 🫣

Some people claim that Jesus visited Tibet. But they’ve got it wrong! It was actually the prophet Elisha. 🤣

We are asked to trust only the information provided on the official website. But imagine if our website gets hacked and misleading information were published on it....😨 Hope Jehovah will not allow that to happen..

just my opinion, i think this is very much a tower of babel moment given the rumors of whats in ai labs. we the public see a fraction of whats in the labs. time will tell.

Just a quick question to moderators.. I sometimes use images from our publications to create videos. I just wanted to ask if doing so violates our organization's copyright guidelines.🤔

Hello. How long could Satan have been allowed to rule the earth? (Fixed time, predetermined duration)

There's a math reference missing, Justinah. Our very dear brother really loves math.

This situation with the development of AI in the wrong hands puts me in mind of a time long ago: "Jehovah then said: “Look! They are one people with one language, and this is what they have started to do. Now there is nothing that they may have in mind to do that will be impossible for them."Genesis 11:6 Jehovah took action then, and he will soon be taking action again.

More than fun for us, it is simply amazing how those scenarios can be brought to life. Thanks for your hard work in this regard and your generous sharing of the results. 😊

Yes, CDN domains do need to be whitelisted explicitly — jw.org delivers most of its media (videos, images, app content) through Akamai and CloudFront, so without those the pages would load but media would fail silently. In our setup we whitelist the following alongside jw.org: akamaiedge.net, akamaized.net, edgesuite.net, edgekey.net, akamaitechnologies.com, akamaihd.net (Akamai CDN) cloudfront.net (AWS CloudFront, also used by jw.org) jw-cdn.org, jw-media.org (organization's own CDN subdomains) gstatic.com (used by JW Library on Android) captive.apple.com, apple.com (iOS captive portal detection — without this, iPhones won't recognize the network as having internet access and may refuse to connect) zoom.us, zoom.com, zoomgov.com, zoomcdn.com (Zoom — optional, added for meeting broadcasts) Everything else resolves to REFUSE at the DNS level, so no other traffic gets through even if someone tries. The Akamai list in particular is essential — JW Library especially pulls almost all its content from there.

Gemini isn't bad to make images. I just got a "Plus" account to tinker with it (and it's useful for my job anyway )

Another failed video… I asked Aaron to throw his rod! 🤷‍♀️😂 gemini_generated_video_d26fdf4d.mp4

😂

At my work we took main website and couple other services offline for the day. At least those with php in it. Looked briefly also at this community cms but its not php based. 👍

Did you need white listing other domains (akamai?) as well because of the content delivered via CDN somtimes? Or does it work in another way?

Sure! 😊 First, I divide the Bible account into small scenes and create pictures for them using chatgpt. Then I use Gemini to animate the pictures into videos. I describe the characters' movements, facial expressions, camera angles, lighting, and sounds in the prompts. Gemini can also add background music and sound effects if I ask for them. Sometimes Gemini generates three 10-second clips, making a 30-second video. For the other clips, I generate them separately and combine everything using a video editor. The hardest part is getting Gemini to follow the instructions correctly! Sometimes characters look in the wrong direction, change their appearance, or do something completely unexpected. Once, when the attendant asked Elisha, 'Master, what are we to do?' Elisha suddenly turned Chinese! 🤣 In another clip I asked Gemini to make the attendant look astonished, and it made his eyes glow like the heavenly army was inside them..😂 So, there's a lot of trial and error. I keep correcting the prompts and regenerating clips until I'm satisfied with the result. You can also take help from chatgpt to make the video prompts. This 40-second video took quite a few attempts, but it's fun when everything finally comes together!😊

Can you tell about the workflow to do these ?
