These are good points, K, but do not change anything pointed out earlier. The references you have cited are useful and balanced but agree in principle with my presentation. Thanks again for your points.

Interesting 🤔 so nothing prior to the clot. I wonder if the clot was caused by the spike from your vaccine then. This is worth investigating not only as it will clarify your treatment plan going forward but because you might be able to get some compensation to alleviate any losses you have incurred. https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/covid-19-vaccine-claims-scheme#:~:text=The COVID-19 vaccine claims,out who can get it.

Also @Dhanyel We must remember that when we talk about the UN getting "teeth" we are quoting a paragraph from the Revelation book, not from scripture. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1101988035?q=teeth+united+nations&p=par#:~:text=Yes%2C the The world has changed dramatically since the Revelation book was written. The statements made in the book fit very well with our understanding of the world back then. When we think of something getting teeth we think of traditional warfare, with aggressive power, which was how things were generally accomplished back then - with old school military force. Today things are accomplished in a different way by authorities generally. New methods of warfare are being used. We are apparently on 5th generation warfare now. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generations_of_warfare#:~:text=In military history%2C the term,4GW" or "5GW". From the article: Fifth-generation warfare is conducted primarily through non-kinetic military action, such as social engineering, misinformation, and cyberattacks, along with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and fully autonomous systems. Fifth generation warfare has been described by Daniel Abbot as a war of "information and perception". What do you think? Does the UN already have 5th generation warfare teeth? Have we seen the UN use these teeth of late? Could the UN deploy these teeth against BTG?

Ty for your kind words. I have never 'tested positive', but I did have a dry cough for a few days. This was after spending time some with my sister, who did test positive. It was a mild reaction - if it was covid. I was feeling pretty average for a day or 2. (It could have been anything!) This happened about 9 months after my clot/hospital stay. Currently, it is recommended that I stay on anti-coagulant treatment. This is a precaution, as they are unable to determine what caused my massive clot. They wish to avoid a repeat. It's been a slow recovery over the past 20 months. [emoji3073]Old (Downunder) Tone [emoji854]

Beautiful ! Don't tell us, Brother Niall, the AI sings so well... does it ?

I'm so sorry to hear that 😔 I expect that was very painful and debilitating. Yes, it sounds like there was more to the story you are right, especially as it came out of the blue without previous issues. Maybe, as you are still undergoing treatment, you could ask your provider what his thoughts are on these blood clotting issues from the spike. Have you ever had covid? Just out of interest. If so was it before you developed your clot?

Well, it was the end for my parents, I came into the world at the end of that year and apparently ended their life as single individuals, as they had to have a shotgun wedding.

If anyone is interested in knowing my workflow for this: I fed my own notes to ChatGPT and asked it to create the lyrics for the first song "Cradled by the Divine." For the second song, "In Times of Trials", I use the whole study article--not my notes. I use Suno.au to create the music and vocals. It took about 6 or 7 passes, with additional structuring and prompting, for each song to get the final version.

I'm glad you like it. Here is another song based on the same WT article. It seems to go off lyrics for the bridge. Reminder: Other than tweaking and prompting by me, this is 100% AI (Artificial Intelligence). It NOT an original song from the Society. In Times of Trials [Verse 1] In times of trials, when fears may rise, We stand unshaken beneath the skies. For Jehovah's promise rings so true, "In every moment, I'm here with you." [Chorus] Never abandoned, we're held so dear, In every whisper, in every tear. As pure worship stands firm and sure, In Jehovah’s love, we are secure (we are). [Verse 2] When guidance shifts to the heavens above, Anointed lead with a shield of love. With Jesus' reign, so strong and clear, In this path of faith, we have no fear. [Chorus] Never abandoned, we're held so dear, In every whisper, in every tear. As pure worship stands firm and sure, In Jehovah’s love, we are secure (we are). [Bridge] Reflect, rejoice in the truth we know, His love unending, forever it flows. Educate, lead, in love we'll grow, With hearts set on Him, His guidance we'll show. [Outro] So let’s stand firm in this divine plan, Trusting fully in His loving hand. Uplifted, united, in faith we stand, Forever embraced in Jehovah’s grand land. In times of trials, when fears may rise.mp3

AI is proving to be an unbaptized publisher. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Back in 2008 the Independance rammed the wharf at the oil refinery I was at. It was at night so they backed off and put a spotlight on the damage so we could check for leaks. I notified the Coast Guard, and they discovered the crew was drunk. It's a little scary seeing the damage that thing can do and then watch them back off and look like they want to hit it again. I'm glad they were sober enough to give us a spotlight light instead of ramming it again.

Beautiful! ❤️

That shiny circle above her head. They call it nimbus.

I'm not sure if this should go here (so sorry if I got it wrong). I have been messing with AI and have created a song based on a recent WT article “I Will Never Abandon You”! Everything has been created with AI, including the lyrics, music, and vocals. I am fascinated by what can be achieved with this tech. We are still in the early days so AI is only going to get better. That leads us to a warning we need to keep in mind. How is Satan going to use this technology to attack True Worship? As we get closer to the end of this system we need to make sure of all things, and to strengthen our faith in Jehovah and his ability to protect pure worship. That's why I chose “I Will Never Abandon You”! as the basis of this experiment. AI is just a tool that can be used for good or bad. I hope this song is encouraging. If I have don't it right, it will be attached to this post. And a final reminder: This is 100% AI and is not an official song. Lyrics [Verse 1] In times of old, through shadows cast, The faithful walked, the die was cast. Leaders came and then they’d fade, Yet now we stand where grace is laid. [Chorus] For we are cradled by the divine, In arms of everlasting love, As chosen ones ascend on high, We’re gently held from far above. [Verse 2] Now in these days of grand restore, With holy vision set before. Christ’s light our guide, so clear, so bright, Jehovah guards us through the night. [Chorus] For we are cradled by the divine, In arms of everlasting love, As chosen ones ascend on high, We’re gently held from far above. [Bridge] Through storms we stand, our faith won't sway, His prophecies light up our way. In worship pure, we rise, we thrive, By His decree, we’re kept alive. [Chorus] For we are cradled by the divine, In arms of everlasting love, As chosen ones ascend on high, We’re gently held from far above. [Outro] Unshaken hearts, under His eyes, Held safe where His sanctuary lies. Through darkest nights, His light our guide, In His embrace, we will abide. Cradled by the Divine.mp3

On the Sunday before the holidays, a preacher was walking down a street on his way to see a parishioner. However, he wanted to post a parcel urgently so he asked a young boy where he could find the post office. When the boy had directed him, the preacher thanked him and said, ‘If you’ll come to the Church this evening, you can hear me telling everyone how to get to heaven.’ The boy replied, ‘I think I’ll give your sermon a miss. If you don’t even know your way to the post office, how will you lead me to heaven?’ 🤪 🤣

A little confusion for me. Isaiah 30 talks about As·syrʹi·a.(verse 31) But our organization is associating this verse ( verse 20) with the seize of Babylon.. (Even in verse 2 of this chapter we see they going to take help from egypt to fight As·syrʹi·a.) Pls help in understanding better.

but, 2 buttons is the style ! I wouldn't dare unbutton #2 though ( my chest hairs would show ! 😎🤏😳

Witnesses on both sides of vaccination have faced opposition, pressure, and mockery – and it's inappropriate for either. That being said, the majority of Witnesses took the vaccine. The privilege of the majority is not having to explain your position, hence the lack of forums promoting the majority view. For those who are not in the majority, and who have been shamed by Witnesses and the World alike, they deserve a space to air their grievances. This is a good opportunity for everyone to work on tolerating the opinions of others in a loving way, not "even if we disagree", but especially when we disagree.

Ty @Frances Bennett, for your summation. I felt it was a fair and balanced view. I ended up in hospital several days after my 4th vaccination. I presented to the Emergency Room, to be diagnosed with a 120mm blot clot. (I am still on anti-clotting meds.) This has always puzzled me. My scans. test, blood work all are in 'normal' ranges. I suspect there is more to the story. I wish to be well informed in decisions affecting my future treatments. Thank you for the link and your comments. [emoji3073]Old (Downunder) Tone [emoji854]

And now we know why we are having en endless summer here in Western Australia, while the East coast is drenching. All records are broken, with the hottest and driest 6 months Oct to March since the 1890’s, with only 22 mls ave rainfall. “During the same period the city's average maximum temperature has been 30.7 degrees Celsius, an incredible 3.4C above normal and also a record. This April has only prolonged the trend with Perth's highs averaging 30.0C, a full 5C above normal and 5C above Taree's temperatures at the same latitude on the east coast. The record dry spell also continues – the city's rain gauge has collected just 1mm this month, well short of the April average of 43mm.” I remember pioneering in April with umbrellas due to the rain. And it’s all due to a high pressure system stuck just below WA which blows winds from the desert - the dreaded “easterlies”. Which is why our cart witnessing is really challenging! 🤣 This high pressure causes the winds to blow from the south (Antartica) to the southern states, and so that part of Australia is suffering from much colder temps. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-20/australia-weather-wet-east-coast-possible-cyclone-wa-bakes/103747022?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=safari

Put it this way ... in the 4th post in this thread two pictures were posted. Those two individuals have been and continue to be "hot topics" and very polarizing to the US - even some JW's have feeling about one or both of them. When asked what I think of them, I express that neither one of them is better nor worse than the other, they are just different. As to who wins the coming election ... makes no difference to me since I have no way of knowing who Jehovah may use to usher in the GT.

We must not forget many things they say are put down on papers are usually toilet papers. It full of demonic propaganda. Revelation 16:13,14

My grandma died in 2002. She will die in paradise and have to be resurrected again just over the LGBTQ+ stuff alone.

When we talk to people in the NS about what life was like in the end they're going to have an open mouth in disbelief at how stupid humanity became. I just got an email today confirming my renewed business license. It was signed Rochelle then she had to give a designation as to what she was: "she/her". For me this is the WORST part of this system, people not knowing that there are only 2 sexes. It's so bad that a Trans had to go to social media and tell all the delusional people that there are only 2 sexes. Again I ask Jehovah how much worse can it get, how much more stupidity to endure.
