  1. Past hour
  2. now dilip, my brother, let's fight this together for all of us trip so let's keep our grip too bad if around us says: What is the fuss it's easy you see so why do you plea? but we know it's tough and it gets quite rough our secret is sure love God in our core ask daily for aid though we are afraid beyond all their stings we soar on Jah's wings
  3. Today
  4. I only bring food for myself. Now that we meet at our Assembly Hall which is near several food spots, I've taken to just going to McDonald's or getting a sandwich from the nearby supermarket. Many friends do that in order to avoid the fuss of packing lunches. @LeolaRootStew you just gave me a good idea for one of my lunches next week! 🍣 🍚🥟🍤
  5. While looking into this, it was the first time I head of Perplexity. I might have to give it a look ...
  6. Never once. If you don't bring food you can always go out and buy some.
  7. Looks like you prepare food for only yourself Sis? What do you do when the person next to you doesn't have what to eat during the program? haven't you ever experienced that?
  8. No,Bro Richard,this is one of our Sisters doing the cooking at the time when it was done for the general delegates in convensions. I got the picture from the Internet just to show what is still happening at family level now, Sisters still have to prepare so much food to serve a lot of brothers in conventions just like before.
  9. Sushi. -It tastes fine at room temperature or cold. you just need an icepack in a refrigerated lunch pack - you don't have to worry about heating anything up. -Soy packets are closed until you eat it so there's very low risk of liquids leaking out everywhere. -disposable chopsticks and throwaway containers for easy cleanup. -easy to eat in the confines of a car or anywhere with limited table space. The container it comes in is its plate and it's pretty solid.
  10. Just a micro-annoyance for font-nerds ... 😁 The WTL app's font (at least in Android) uses a sans-serif font, with one exception: In title headings the character "i" is with serifs. I guess to distinguish the character "i" from "1" or "l", maybe(?) for readability reasons. If so, I wouldn't want it any other way (can relate, had severe problems with my eyes myself). But in Dutch language the "i" in combination with the "j" is considered one character "ij". Like in "ijs" (ice in English), its 3 glyphs but 2 characters. Handling the 2 characters like 1 (a digraph) is pretty visible with capitalization. For example the country Iceland is IJsland in Dutch and not Ijsland (the capital being IJ together). So this example looks rather wonky. (Dutch WT, study this weekend). It only happens because using a serif AND a non serif WITHIN one character looks a bit weird.
  11. Petunias, Geraniums, Million Bells. Petunias: Geraniums: Million Bells:
  12. We use ChatGPT, ChatGPT-JWPUBS, Microsoft Copilot. We use them for different enquiries, but might try some others you mention John.
  13. A little background: I have been enjoying creating songs with Suno AI. I use the free version so there are limitations. It seems to do a nice job at creating legitimate sounding songs. If you want, you can simply type a prompt like, "I want a blues song about changing the oil in my car." and it will write the lyrics and the music, complete with a singer. It will sound fairly good. You can also write your own lyrics and have Suno provide the music. In playing with this, I have found the Suno AI, while it is great at the music, the lyrics are a bit generic and predictable. So, I tried other AI engines to help in writing lyrics. So far, I have tried ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Of these, I have found the GPT works best for lyrics. With that in mind, I did a little checking to see what the Internet said ... Here is some of what the Internet told me: AI tools include ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Perplexity AI, and Microsoft Copilot. Choosing the right alternative depends on the specific task you want to accomplish: Best for Writing & Coding: Claude is highly regarded for its natural tone, reduced hallucinations, and strong coding capabilities. Best for Google Ecosystem: Google Gemini natively integrates with Google Workspace, making it ideal for summarizing emails, docs, and calendar events. Best for Web Research: Perplexity AI acts as an AI search engine, providing direct answers with cited sources With that in mind: Do you use AI? What has been your experience? Which AI engine do you prefer? Do you use more than one AI? Feel free to chime in on what your personal experience has been and why you use the particular AI you use. Please, do not try to turn this thread into an, "I hate AI" topic or other disparaging comments on the evils of AI - those types of comments will be removed from the thread.
  14. I wonder if it’s possible to flip a switch somewhere in the code so that JW Library auto-updates on my Mac (using Continuity) when making edits on my iPad. (Should probably be optional.) Maybe that’s more suited to Sidecar. (As a brother used to say when giving encouragement: “The sugar on the cherry, on the icing, on the cake.”)
  15. Is this someone you know? Is it your wife?
  16. Actually,this type of preparation may sometimes come at a cost as sometimes some Sisters could get sleepy,but it is very rare to see that happen because the excitement of the convention events keeps everyone up and alert. What i described is at individual family level and it is still being practiced till now.
  17. During the Great Tribulation, the GB and we ourselves, with Jehovah and Jesus' backing, will still be focussed on plucking some from Satan's grasp, in whatever little time there may be.
  18. Collage: A couple stay zealous in the ministry while awaiting prophecies leading up to Armageddon. 1. A church burning down. 2. The United Nations. 3. The sun and moon are darkened. 4. Soldiers at war. 5. Jesus wields a bow as he rides a white horse through the clouds. If only this next service year could be the last...
  19. Not yet. Now, I tried it with my Macbook Neo and it works very well
  20. Possible with Android yet ? Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk
  21. Oh my my my. Thank you for posting the screen shot. What a treat from Jehovah❣️❣️❣️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 This is incredible. So I tried it out. It took me a few moments to comprehend how to open another screen but mission accomplished. First picture 2 jwlibrary screens AND the Notability app for note taking hand written and typed The second picture 2 jwlibrary screens open to Bible and Tract and a downloaded a Watchtower PDF to Notability. Third picture 3 screens open to home page of jwlibrary. Can’t wait to play with this for optimum use😝 Using an iPad Air 5th Gen.
  22. We attended a Hmong Regional Convention lunch break at our local Assembly Hall once to visit an old friend. They had a huge potluck lunch spread out, it looked like everyone contributed. 👍🏻
  23. Yesterday
  24. A Chinese buffet anyone?? 😂😂😂😂 jk.

    • 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.”

      Something I’m glad we haven’t seen in the Watchtower for a long time: “(Brother Faithful finished his earthly course while this article was being prepared.)” 😢

      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)
