Yes, we use JW Conf for phone tie in and have for years. The discount codes we got access to expire in 2028. Mine is Sept 1, 2028. But I am just thinking ahead and making some broad assumptions.

Continuous guttering looks really strange as they pull long pieces out of a truck that looks too short

JWConf is the new name for KHConf that the Branck has owned since just before the pandemic However, since the Branch made a 5-year deal with Zoom that is only 2-3 years old, I don't think they plan to move away from it soon

What is JW Conf? I always thought if we ditched zoom for our own solution, we’d just use JWS Studio (which the branch developed itself) I also know Apple TV supports Zoom and FaceTime (which is technically available on all platforms), although it requires setting your iPhone on the mantle to create the camera input…

Series, on tv, is often a comedy that is not continuous.

Opposite sides of a typical (6 sided) die add up to 7. A set of Dominoes will make a complete circle when laid out . Take out all the doubles, then challenge someone to take a domino and not show you. :ine up the ones left, the unattach ed ends will match the one chosen.]

Sunday, December 14 Keep on, then, seeking first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you.—Matt. 6:33. Jehovah and Jesus will not give up on us. The apostle Peter was at a critical crossroads in his life after he denied Christ. Would he quit, or would he persevere as Christ’s disciple? Jesus had supplicated Jehovah that Peter’s faith would not give out. Jesus told Peter about that prayer and expressed confidence that Peter would later be able to strengthen his brothers. (Luke 22:31, 32) How it must have reassured Peter to think back on Jesus’ words! When we come to a crossroads in our life, Jehovah may use caring shepherds to provide the assurance we need to remain faithful. (Eph. 4:8, 11) Just as Jehovah provided materially for Peter and the other apostles, He will care for our material needs when we put the ministry first in our life. w23.0924-25 ¶14-15

Klingon are a species of aliens seen on Star Trek, initially a TV series then movies then series.

That's not possible at this time. There is a note saying the developers are working to add that feature but they don't know when it will be available.

Studies show or suggest that humans don't age at a consistent linear rate. They find that we age the most at two different points in life. The first accelerated aging process happens at age 45. Then we age normally again for about the next 15 years, and the second accelerated aging process happens in our early 60's. After that, depending on what we do, or don't do, to try to stay healthy and take care of ourselves, barring hereditary diseases or conditions, we can either lengthen our lifespan or shorten it. Some make it to 70 and others to 80 and beyond. Dick Van Dyke just turned 100 years old today. Your mileage may vary. 😉

Paul, I agree we have some very useful tools, but they have some important limitations. If you wish to find a scripture or an article you need to type the exact literal words. Oh, yes, you can use some logical operators, but those are not for everybody. My parents are not even able to type without spelling mistakes, so they hardly ever find anything. Not to mention languages with diacritics or where words change depending on their role in the sentence. A couple examples from real life of how AI can be of help. I was recently trying to remember a scripture about listening to both versions of a story. I can never find that scripture because I don't remember the exact words. So I asked ChatGPT: "What scripture in the Bible says that you need to hear both versions of a matter to be able to make a good decision? Please quote it from the New World Translation." The reply? "A commonly cited Bible verse that teaches this principle is Proverbs 18:17 'The first to state his case seems right, Until the other party comes and cross-examines him.'" This is what I mentioned before about semantic search. Instead of looking for the exact words, it understands what you are talking about and finds relevant information. Another example. I asked ChatGPT "Please find some article exclusively on wol.jw.org about comforting someone suffering from old age". It gave me links to four excellent articles with a very brief summary of every one of them. Sure, I could have used the index, look up Comfort, then go down several pages of concepts until I found "the elderly" but this way it's much easier. I think a tool like that would be extremely useful to spend less time searching and more time studying.

The number 4 is the only number to have the same amount of letters as it’s numerical value

I find Sora very difficult to work with. It will have the man speaking the woman’s lines and vice versa. I can tell it what the people are supposed to look like, and it will still get it wrong. Half the time, it will not produce anything at all, and will tell me that I am violating the guide rails. On the odd occasion when the videos actually come out the way I want them to, it’s wonderful.

JW Conf Interactive is like Zoom in that publishers can comment etc. ROKU allows a stream from JW Conf to be played as non interactive video. Thinking of the future: How can we use both and completely move away from Zoom? Anyone have a setup that isn't excessively technical? Run JW Conf Interactive so publishers can comment, while still allowing the stream to ROKU so those few that don't use internet/browser enabled devices can still view the meeting. Comments appreciated.

Success is not only a word to express a result, but it is also a greeting in Klingon.

Trial and error often leads to success.

Defendant and plaintiff are words for opposite sides of a trial.

Hi Friends, Google recently released some major AI improvements to the Notebook LM platform. The results I'm getting are absolutely incredible! Here's an example I would like to share with everyone. For this time of year, I love sharing with my return visits and Bible studies the article, "Our Readers Ask . . .Who Sent the “Star?” in the Watchtower of 4/1/12 on page 29. I input this into Notebook LM and I first had it create a 1 page Infographic (see the attached .png image file below). Then I had it create a full Presentation (see the attached PDF file below). I think the results using AI are simply amazing! Please have a look and et me know what you think of them. Moderators: Could you please let me know if I was wrong to post this information here or not? Thanks so much. Roger The_Nativity_Case_Unsolved.pdf

Friends does anyone know if it is possible to upload to nw publisher from a phone ? I have the windows version and it works as it should , but it would be so efficient to do it from phone 📞

Now you just need to combine all these together and we'll have the whole book in a film. Although, it is odd to see the same character played by different people in each clip.

Jim Jones sold spider monkeys door to door in the 1950s (Indiana) before his cult in Guyana and used Favor Aid, not Kool Aid in the 1978 massacre.

facetiously contains all the vowels (and sometimes vowel) in alpha order.

Woodpeckers don't get headaches b/c their hyoid bone goes all around their head's inside like a seat belt and cushions the impact.

I concur. It also helps those of us who also tend not to share internal thoughts and feelings with others (including Jehovah), I find the logical answers it gives can make clarify my thinking little so that I can better word what I want/need/feel etc. It can be a valuable tool, but definitely just a tool.
