  1. Past hour
  2. You can try Gemini, Chatgpt and Claude, see if they give you different ideas
  3. Today
  4. The value of Bible reading is not measured by how many times we have read the Bible, but by how much we allow it to shape our life.
  5. Wow. I was in oil refinery operations for 30 years. What type of chem plant did you work in?
  6. Yesterday
  7. Which LLM is your favorite for this?
  8. I realize it. And there are a lot of people who know how to do all that stuff. I'm sure it will be sorted properly. Jehovah gave us creative, innovative brains for a reason. I don't believe thousands of years of advancement and technology will disappear. Without greed and money as motivation, I believe our accomplishments will go beyond what we have even now and they will benefit everyone 🤩🥰
  9. Ask AI to show you nice place and share the results with us
  10. Twickenham was our first assembly. I was about 10 nearly 11. It was an international assembly 78/79. I remember walking over a big bridge. The carparks were really a long way from the stadium. After some years we went to the Brighton Centre, we were very spoilt there. But I missed the atmosphere at Twickenham, especially before I became a mother. The long queues for the food and the toilets! It was quite horrible really, but the unity felt so unique.
  11. And who will provide the chemicals, mine the minerals, etc. needed to produce them? Do we even realize what’s involved?
  12. Here is an example of how AI can be useful: We have been working on my daughter's van. We had to replace the electric cooling fan. After getting the van put back together, we found that the cooling issues went beyond the burned-out fan. Her van has a "captive cooling system" which means, it does not have a radiator cap - instead, the reservoir bottle is pressurized while the vehicle is ion operation and the cap seals tightly to hold the pressure. The reservoir bottle is plastic, and we discovered it has cracks in the bottom, so we had to replace that, too. When we got everything back together - again, we found there is also a small leak near the top of the radiator. OK - we can just use some 'stop leak' ... that's what we used to do it when I was younger. So, I went to the AI search and asked what the best stop leak is to use for this van. Of course, to do so, I specified what the van is. Well, the AI directly told me NOT to use stop leak in that vehicle due to the captive cooling system and a few other reasons. Seems I could do serious and possibly irreparable damage by using the stop leak. That seemed a bit odd and/or extreme - so, I used another AI and asked that one about the stop leak. I got the same type of response. It also told me not to do it unless it was strictly an emergency and we were just trying to limp it off the road or get it back home. So, I asked a mechanic I know. An actual human mechanic who makes his living fixing cars. He verified what the AI's told me. We have a new radiator ordered and should be able to install it next week. In this case, the AI did not give us wrong information, hallucinate or make stuff up. It actually saved us money and headaches.
  13. Jehovah won't be looking for reason to annihilate you at Armageddon, He will consider all the reason he has to save you.
  14. 😄 Our ancestors probably didn't *want* to take that long.. what choice did they have? And I guaranTEE Mary would've liked a smoother journey to Bethlehem at nine months pregnant than on the back of a donkey! 😖😄 Jehu felt the need for speed to the point he was known for it.. imagine him getting his hands on a Ferrari! 😎 Once the ancestors come back and see what great strides in transport have been made, I don't think months traveling on a camel will hold as much charm anymore.. 😉
  15. Most of all our ancestors, no doubt. OK, seriously now. My belief is that this planet, like our bodies, is designed to withstand and repair a certain amount of damage. A certain annual level of pollution could likely go unnoticed if used in a balanced way. Jehovah gave us these big brains to use. We need to crawl before we walk and walk before we run. Combustion engines might be a necessary stepping stone to even greater, cleaner methods of transportation. This doesn't knock walking, riding bikes or animals, or whatever else. There is room for everything.
  16. Interesting https://www.yahoo.com/news/science/articles/astronomers-perplexed-james-webb-space-071500772.html
  17. The majority of the world don't feel this way so imagine how happy this makes Jehovah feel.
  18. Let's talk about clean energy vehicles (including planes, trains, ships) because I'm not keen on walking or riding an animal everywhere- especially in my nice clothes on my way to a weddingor something. Even MORE especially across an ocean or mountain range... or it's raining or snowing or hot... ☺️ Who wants to take months to get anywhere?
  19. Thursday, July 9 You accepted it not as the word of men but, just as it truthfully is, as the word of God.—1 Thess. 2:13. Some people claim to have read the Bible dozens of times. But do they truly believe in the Bible? Have they applied it or allowed it to affect the course of their life? Sadly, often the answer is no. What a contrast with Jehovah’s people! We strive to demonstrate that it is at work in our life. Still, it is not always easy to read and apply God’s Word. We may struggle to find time to read. Or we may tend to read at a very rapid pace and not absorb much of what we read. Or we may feel overwhelmed by all the improvements we need to make. Whatever your challenge may be, it is not insurmountable. With Jehovah’s help, you can overcome it. May we be determined to become doers of the Word. Without a doubt, the more we read God’s Word and apply it in our life, the happier we will be.—Jas. 1:25. w24.09 7 ¶15-16
  20. This is a useful point you make, Richard, and as long as AI is used in tandem with our own source material, it can certainly be helpful.
  21. I noticed that the website has had some updates, and the privacy policy seems to have been updated as well. Maybe some of the feedback reached them 😊
  22. I think we all have those feelings at times. But i think about myself as a mom and the love I have for my children. I love each of my children individually. Individually they can break my heart or make me proud. This is how I see Jehovah looking at us. As a group of his children yes but also he sees our individual hearts. John 3:16 is a good scripture @LeolaRootStew one sacrifice was all that was necessary for Jehovah to extend mercy to each of us. Jehovah doesn't act with sentimentality but he sees us and loves us individually. Our imperfections make it hard for us to feel that.
  23. I think that's the point: hope. We have a hope that's alive and real, something Jehovah gave us that we can believe and trust in. It's not confidence exactly, it's the knowledge that we can make it through because Jehovah wants us to make it through. That doesn't mean we don't worry sometimes about failing him, in fact we'd be silly if we were overconfident (look at what happened to Peter!), but it is all about the fact that he will help us because he says he will. It's about faith.
  24. 👍🫠🥵 Me from Dover but lived in west London for last 40 yes. Used to love Twickenham when it was the creeky old wooden stadium and doing 6 weeks pre- assembly setup.
  25. It speaks to his love for the world as a whole and yes, that does include individuals, but everyone is judged according to their own merit. I could also use: James 2:17 -- Am I doing enough? Probably not. Revelation 3:15-16 -- How am I percieved, am I too lukewarm? I could drum up a bunch of scriptures for or against how I feel, but ultimately that's head knowledge, and sometimes the heart just.... sucks, lol. Anyway, I didn't intend to make this about me, and I don't want to make anyone else feel bad about their own personal struggles, so I'll just say this: I'm a work in progress, and I hope to one day make His heart proud.
  26. Jehovah does not want us to hate others—in action, word, or even thought

  27. I would laugh, but too 🔥 🔥 🔥 here!

    • 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.”
