If they brought their family with them it would be 2 parents 12 kids 21 grandchildren For a total of 35. Hopefully the 7 sisters are married and brought their husbands for a total of 42. Pass the mustard please...

My wife bought a new line of expensive cosmetics guaranteed to make her look younger. After a long session in front of the mirror applying the “miracle” products, she turned to me and asked, “Darling, honestly - what age would you say I am now?” I looked over her carefully and said, “Looking at your skin, twenty. Your hair, eighteen. And your figure, twenty five." “Oh, you flatterer, what are you after?” she gushed. “Hold on a minute, honey," getting out my phone out of my pocket, "I haven’t added them up yet."

We have already addressed this riddle here, even though some were including the picture of eggs as well in their answer.

But the global attack on religion is brought about by Jehovah. It’s not dependent on what men choose to do or not to do.

English Grammer Teacher: He washed utensils. He was made to wash utensils. What is the difference between these two sentences? Student: In the first sentence, the subject is unmarried, and in the second, the subject is married.

still crazy... I'm always worried about the friends in the US with these insane amounts.

I like both Our History in Motion & Become Jehovah's Friend, but I voted "other", because I get most emotion from the Original songs That's a serie in itself 😉

Become Jehovah's Friend. Love the adventures of Caleb and Sophia.

Located about 65 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo, the galaxy may seem distant, but in cosmic terms, it's relatively close. This proximity allows the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to resolve remarkable details in the tightly wound spiral arms of the galaxy."

Here's something that could be very worthwhile. Might want to share with anyone facing a big medical bill. I will begin by crediting the author, Kim Komando. His newsletter: SplashofAI.com Story ~ After a man suffered a fatal heart attack, his widow received the bill of $195,628 for four hours of emergency care. She was ready to pay it when a relative asked her to wait. They requested an itemized bill with CPT codes (universal billing codes of hospitals). With the line-item bill and codes, it was pasted to Claude. Within minutes, Claude found duplicate charges, services billed as "inpatient" even though the patient was never admitted, charges for procedures that never happened, supply cost charges inflated to 500% to 2300% above MediCare rates. They double-checked the results with ChatGPT and both AI's were in agreement. They instructed AI to draft a dispute letter to send to the billing department. The bill was reduced to $33,000. An 83% reduction. No medical knowledge required. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When homeowner's insurance companies make their settlement "offer", it's called an offer because it can't be perfectly validated, but it should be reasonable. The insured could get help from a public adjuster, but they charge so much that you end up right back where you started. Hopefully, somehow, AI will be capable of providing a valid estimate to "make you whole" in rebuttal of the insurance company's "offer".

My teen daughter uses Duolingo to learn Haitian Creole, a language that is not in JW Language.

For us #1438 fixed the issue with the Reports but everything in the "Public Talks - Away" is still missing.

I'll put it in two points it why the language app was being retired: 1. Maintenance Maintaining an app actually takes a lot of work and resources. We have to keep updating it so it works with new versions of operating systems like Windows, iOS, and Android. Each platform updates regularly, so the app has to be tested and adjusted again and again to make sure everything still works properly. There are also fees involved with developer programs, app stores, and the infrastructure needed to support the app. All of this requires time and money. The more apps we maintain, the more resources are required. As mentioned during the 2025 Annual Meeting, the organization is encouraging more brothers and sisters to focus on the ministry and to serve where the need is greater. So it’s reasonable for us to ask whether the language app still serves the same purpose today. If it no longer benefits most of the brotherhood the way it once did, it may not be the best use of our resources. Some of the brothers and sisters who were previously maintaining the JW Language app may now be helping with other projects like the JW Library app. 2. Usage When the language app first came out, it was extremely helpful, especially for those of us serving in foreign-language territories. It gave us quick access to common phrases used in the ministry and during meetings, which made communication much easier. At the time, there were not many convenient alternatives available, so having a dedicated app with built-in phrases was very useful. But about a decade later, things have changed a lot. There are now many online tools and AI-powered services that can provide similar help and sometimes even better assistance. Instead of relying on a standalone app with a limited fixed list of phrases, we can now use tools that translate, help with pronunciation, explain meanings, and even allow us to ask questions or practice conversations. Because of this, the way we use language tools has shifted. Rather than depending on a single dedicated app, many of us now use a variety of online tools and AI that offer much more flexibility and capability.

This is expected. Violence begets violence.

No kippah ? The friends in that part of the world may have to have the Memorial on Zoom. But we know how.

One solution is to move to PWA (progressive web app) - they can be installed on any OS and don’t require the ‘upkeep’ due to operating system changes, so they’re better at surviving the test of time.

The problem is that Android and iOS keep evolving and changing the requirements all the time. We developed a simple free app at work which didn't collect any data but finally we had to withdraw after a few years it because it had to be rewritten all the time to keep up with the most recent versions. Not to mention the constant paperwork to keep up with the constant legal changes and what not. We made it with the best of intentions but it became a huge time hog. I imagine something similar happened to JW Language. The number of regular users was quite limited and it was not worth all the work and paperwork.

I never found it very useful, probably becaiuse I wasn't using it to learn a language. I use Google translate when I meet other language speakers because you can have an immediate convertsation.

#1438 just dropped, this issue appears to be resolved with this latest update.
