I like reading the different responses. It's like watching a tennis match. Someone poses a question or thought that may have never occured to me, then one gives a reply, I see and like the response, then the next person gives a different reply. It allows me to consider the many different ways that things may happen but I know only Jehovah will reveal the correct one. It keeps my curiosity high.

I use it to verse map. How would I use a verse map format in jwlibrary or on our authorized web site to perform this research please?

I hope so. I found it exhilarating. I felt Jehovah lending me his courage.

I don't understand your statement. I hope it is because I'm sick with high fever and flu and not just dumb. Should it read can instead of can't? And second paragraph sounded like sci-fic to me.. sounded like information is installed to actually mislead. Please expound.

Thank you. I did set up my AI to reflect clearly ONLY JW publications and official site is to be used--NO SECULAR/OUTSIDE SOURCE TO BE REFERENCED! NO CONTAMINATION! Unfortunately I did not set up only most recent understandings to be used.

I have encountered this twice. I was researching a clearer understanding of marriage partners after the resurrection and the possibility of remarry each other. First response was based on my understanding from when I first began to study in 1997 which was no. But I recalled the updated information of we can not be dogmatic. I called it out on that and it immediately corrected to say it referenced outdated information. The second time was it used the crucification of Christ and stated it used that term based on original words. Instead of my explaining I will give the answer Ai supplied. I was upset and asked how I could trust their response if they used a word JWs do not use. I just found the reply and copied to paste here. 'Yes. Before the 1930s, the Watch Tower used the common biblical terms of the King James Version, including: “crucify” “crucifixion” “crucified” This was because the early Bible Students used the KJV widely, and the word “crucify” is a standard translation of the Greek word stauróō. The terminology changed only after the doctrine was clarified — that Jesus died on a stake, not a cross. But the word “crucify” continued to appear in quotations, historical descriptions, and dictionary definitions.' I have had a brother explain on our Egypt trip in May that the writing committee uses AI for research and compares closely it's findings. I try to inspect things carefully too. Thanks for all your help.

Ai is definitely a new tool for me. Yes I try to verify every cited reference. That being said I blame my own improper use of a tool. Last week I tried to nail a screw into drywall. I was exhausted from moving all week and just wanted to hurry the last picture to be hung. I tried to convince myself it would work. And it did until about 2 am when the picture came crashing down. Key to reminder is stop when you are tired.

I will have to stop and let my mind settle. Sometimes the longer I try to sort things out I become more confused. It begins to sound contradictory and I can't separate it. I will look again tomorrow and appreciate your input.

I have been having help in how to use AI according to only our material for research. I hope this does not offend anyone and if there is a problem please kindly point it out to me where I can learn.

You said: Which is right ChatGPT said: I can help — I just need a little more context. When you ask “Which is right,” what two options are you deciding between? You said: I believe UN is in fact Gog of Magog the coalition of nations that will want to exterminate Jehovah’s organization on Earth, shortly after destroying BTG If I remember correctly, Gog is lead by the KotN ? It will sure be interesting to observe the dynamics within the UN after Rev 17:17 takes effect. One or two (Russia, China) dominate ? Based on 2015 updated material. 1. Is Gog of Magog the UN? No. Jehovah’s Witnesses no longer identify Gog of Magog with a political entity such as the UN, Russia, or any worldly coalition. The 2015 clarification (Watchtower, May 2015, Study Edition) explained: Gog of Magog = Satan after he is cast out of heaven Gog is Satan himself, not a human government. After Armageddon begins, Satan gathers the nations to attack Jehovah’s people. He acts as a leader of this global assault, but he is the identity of Gog, not an organization. So: ✔ Gog = Satan ✔ The attack = worldwide political forces united ✘ Not the UN ✘ Not Russia or China ✘ Not the King of the North 2. Who will lead the attack on Jehovah’s people? According to the May 2015 WT clarification: The nations, as a collective “coalition,” will act under Satan’s direction (Gog). There is no single nation or political bloc that leads. Instead: All governments will act in unity, Moved along by Jehovah to fulfill His purpose (Rev. 17:17), And stirred by Satan’s rage, just before the end. 3. What about the UN? While Gog is not the UN, the UN does play a major prophetic role, but in a different stage of events: Before the attack on God’s people: The UN = wild beast (Rev. 17) It is given authority to destroy Babylon the Great (all false religion). Jehovah “puts it into their hearts” to do this (Rev. 17:16-17). But after BTG is gone, the situation shifts: During the attack on Jehovah’s people: It is not just the UN. All remaining governments (under Satan as Gog) join the assault. 4. Is Gog connected with the King of the North? Not directly. King of the North = the dominant aggressive world power that opposes Jehovah’s people in the last days (currently understood to be Russia and its allies). Gog of Magog = Satan after being cast out of heaven, leading a worldwide coalition. They are not the same. However: The King of the North will take part in the attack. But he won’t be leading it as “Gog.” 5. What about the UN’s internal dynamics—will Russia or China dominate? We cannot say. What we do know from Revelation 17:17: Jehovah will make all political powers cooperate long enough to accomplish His will. The UN will act in ways it normally couldn’t (or wouldn’t) by its own political logic. The destruction of Babylon the Great will be unified, not driven by a single nation. After that? Alliances may shift. The UN’s internal tensions may change. But the exact geopolitical details are deliberately not revealed to us. What we are certain of is: Jehovah will control events. Political influence inside the UN will not determine prophecy—Jehovah’s purpose will. Summary (the “right” understanding): Gog = Satan, not the UN. The UN destroys false religion, not Jehovah’s people. The global attack on Jehovah’s people comes after BTG is gone, led by Satan (Gog). The King of the North is a separate prophecy, though it participates in the final assault. No one nation (Russia or China) is prophesied to dominate the UN during these events. I believe after rereading the researched material this sums it up and polishes in a way that is easy to follow.

So funny! It reminds me of a meme I saw 16 years ago that showed a except from a text group thread between Jesus and his 12 disciples. Jesus : Shortly one of you will betray me. Peter; Even if I have to die with you, I will by no means disown you.” Judas Iscariot has left the chat. This visual was so powerful to me I reflect on it at least weekly and pray I never succumb to fear of man. I think the ability for a funny joke really brings me home the lesson with humor then leaves a serious concern in its wake. Thanks for this one. Someday soon..

Thank you. I read that a few weeks ago about giving one thought, but I thought the update was in addition to that change..That's why I was excited..thank you for explanation

How do you know please?
