  1. Past hour
  2. I almost posted about the speed of sound but had to look up info on the gympy gympy, which I guess is a pointed plant. One more reason to not go camping.
  3. Wow, I'm not sure what drama I would want to be in of the current ones - maybe play a Pharisee in one of the Jesus dramas ... Bonus: I have been in three dramas back when we had live ones at the Conventions. I was not a main character in any of them but did have a couple interesting parts as well as my own scene in one.
  4. Acronyms are common but were not so when I was born. My name, PAULINE, is from notes the nurse took when my Mom was in Labor. My medicated Mother uttered: This is - Pleasant And Undying Love, I Never Expected, and when the nurse handed the paper over, my recovering mum said, "That's what I'll name the baby." I'm glad she didn't use a seven word first name.
  5. can you imagine going camping and accidently wiping with a gympie gympie. Just give me the poison ivy 😧
  6. The OPPE acronym stands for Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation and is a continuous healthcare framework mandated by The Joint Commission to objectively track the clinical competence and professional behavior of licensed practitioners over time and relies on both quantitative metrics and qualitative data to identify performance trends and ensure patient safety.
  7. OPPE was the third word, but I digress and will write a little about grammar, in general. When I was teaching (high school completion to all ages) I taught pronoun usage. Now people can choose which pronoun for self definition. I have not seen how that is on standard or high school tests if at all. Online pronoun quizzes seem the same as always. One thing I ran into when teaching is that students learned around third grade to always use "she and I" and never use "her and me" which is the correct form when speaking about the objects of a sentence. Ex: "The teacher gave sandwiches to her and me." is correct. The word most frequently used incorrectly was 'their.' I do miss teaching but each morning when I face the traffic tie-up reports, I am glad to be off road.
  8. I spent some time this afternoon rereading a topic here on 'how did you get the truth.' I will try again next time as my recall is not as sharp as it was, but I am trying to learn more about friends on talknet. Since no one in my family has come in to the truth, this site has been my conversation for some time.
  9. Or, originally Oppe, was extended in middle English. The contraction changed the second term in an alternative expression, as OR (and either).
  10. Today
  11. "To" be or not to be is a familiar soliliquy from Shakespeare's plays.
  12. I used to have bound volumes on the mid bookcase of my split staircase. My sons used to stop and pick out an article to cover, such well written and positive information of all sorts. I miss that set up, but am glad to have online research. I happened to recount that my study conductor had been dfd and left the truth again, so it seems I actually got the truth out of our literature.
  13. Russian has warned all foreigners to leave Kyiv saying that they will now be striking the Ukrainian defense industry, decision making centers and command posts in the capital. Are our dear brothers and sisters ok?
  14. Right now, I am rereading, and listening to, “Draw Close to Jehovah”. It’s been my goal for some time, and I’m really enjoying it.
  15. Have you tried doing the Refresh Data? Its a new feature in NWP Settings, About. Have one of the NWS administrators make a small change in any address and sync to NWP.
  16. When I used to have a full set of the bound volumes from the 1980s to about 2000, I would re-read the articles.
  17. NWP app seems to have everyone living at the same address. It's the address that the first person in the database lives at. In NWS addresses are OK. But not in the app 4.0.12. Any suggestions? Others seeing this? tyia
  18. UK in Heatwave just now. 35c made this graphic for ministry today with AI. It even used gods name of its own accord. 😆 Feel free to use.
  19. Cloudy right now with possible thunderstorms later today, which will end my hiking trip. Oh well. Maybe next week.
  20. The pilot episode of the TV show "Lie to Me" featured a storyline involving Jehovah's Witnesses. A student who is a Witness is accused of murdering his teacher. They get a few things wrong (notably that the boy's family was praying for her soul; we don't believe in the concept of an immortal soul).
  21. I dont have the presence of the brother that played Sennacherib in the Hezekiah drama but that would be my choice. we goof around in service reciting his lines. I guess I should consider playing a good guy at some point
  22. I'll love to be one of the Mary's. Mary Magdalene after her release, gets to be around Jesus most of the time. How amazing Is that? How about you? You're yet to tell us which character you'll love play or replace.
  23. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYr8QQ9EZd2/?img_index=2 if its real i have my opinion that all i have to say
  24. If you could be inserted into any of the current recorded Dramas, which one would you want to be in? You can replace a character or write yourself in.. Bonus question: has anyone been in a live action drama in past conventions. Either answer is acceptable. Really bored at work today
  25. I heard rapper Biggie Smalls mother was a witness and has scenes of NWT and preaching. Movie itself is rated R so Ive never seen but coworkers mentioned. I personally dont think I would attach witness items with a rated R movie but I havent seen the movie.
  26. I was a deejay as a teenager and did a lot of witness dance parties. I was pretty well known among witness youth in my city and surrounding areas for deejaying. I also did mixing and remixing just for my own amusement. One thing I enjoyed doing was experimenting with Kingdom Melodies on vinyl that I had from my parents. I'd mix them with a house music beat. I didn't play them in public and only shared them with 3 or 4 really close friends. Somehow word got out anyway and in short order, without mentioning my name, I was counseled on a circuit assembly program to stop. 😂 Anyway, using Suno, Al finally caught up to my brilliant teenage vision! You can guess what I've been doing. 😁 Especially now that the organization has given it's blessing to widening out in its music genre selection. Obviously the lyrics are copyrighted, and if it goes against the posting rules, mods please feel free to remove. I've also done one original composition called New World about the first week in Paradise. It's been fun! 😀 Hopefully I don't get counseled again at the assembly. 😂 At Last.mp3 Promise of Paradise.mp3 Move Groove.mp3 New World.mp3
  27. Also, this is the last day with our CO, whose first name is the same as one of those missionaries. I was sorry to miss service today.and still overthought it, and even still would like to know what your fave re-read is.

    • 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.”

      Carlos, I don’t think that is correct. I read a lengthy post on this forum from a brother who stated that he was one of the developers. It would be great if the devs would identify themselves in the forum.

      I was just talking to a brother whose son is in video services in the US. They are reducing staff and even discussing downsizing Ramapo - because they are able to use AI for so much of the artwork and videos.
       
      He was telling me that what used to take weeks is now taking days and with only a few people instead of a large staff. More and more are getting sent back into the field. They are even able reduce the number of people needed for acting out scenes. That is a lot of donated funds saved and more workers for the field. It won't surprise me if we see an update soon describing all the ways the GB has approved for AI usage.
       
      I know they will always have humans to review, edit and approve the final product; but most of our pictures and videos will be at least partially if not fully AI generated.

      A sister in my group went to see a very close friend at the hospital, before the final moment. She was told "Thank you for teaching me the Truth, let's meet again".
      Very emotional... and beautiful !
