    I think it will become increasingly complicated with our Bible studies, as many prefer alternative / DIY health treatments. Some will say they have an anxiety disorder but don’t trust hospitals, and therefore “self medicate” with marijuana. In the past it was easy to remind them how it was illegal to buy it and we need to respect Caesar’s laws, however it is now fully legal in my country at federal and provincial levels, so I can no longer defer to “Caesar has said no,” and therefore it all becomes very gray rather than black and white… I think being done under tight medical controls is significantly less risky, though not with none. it’s all complex and getting moreso everyday. I don’t have the answers.

    To follow this up, halloween is when black cats are often mostly harmed, the hardcore belief that they are bad luck is the reason of this and the adoption thing. Also the rumor that black cats are witches and have roots to witchcraft and other evil shenenagins back in the day also doesnt help. Growing up my mom would let me have a cat but i was never allowed to have a fully black cat. She didnt trust cats and was super superstitious. I love my little black void

    https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=502013210&par=4&srcid=share it establishes the organization’s normal framework for medical decisions that are not directly forbidden in Scripture. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=1102012490&par=1&srcid=share emphasizes informed consent, patient autonomy, and personal medical decisions. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=1101989223&par=1&srcid=share Old reference but the clearest reference on drugs generally. It explains that the Bible condemns drug use for intoxication, escapism, or loss of self-control. Other references point out: warns that misuse can become spiritually and physically dangerous. applies Bible principles to marijuana and other intoxicating substances Good to know, so we can understand others decisions, that can look and feel like a scriptural weakness

    A recreational drug that is administered by a medical professional for a legitimate medical purpose is, by definition, no longer a recreational drug. Beyond that, we would apply the principles Carlos mentioned about defiling the body, being in an appropriate state of mind, and avoiding damage and addiction.

    I played around with Suno some more. I came up with a couple more. One is about trying to park a full-sized car. The other is about having a close brush with a hurricane. Both of these things I have first-hand experience with since I live in Florida and have experienced several hurricanes. Also, I currently drive a full-sized 1995 conversion van and have driven many land yachts in my years of driving. Parkin' This Land Yacht After the Hurricane is Gone ...

    Some animal advocates believe that black cats have lower chances of being adopted. There is a National black day on October 27. A Black Cat crossed my path almost 5 decades ago. I married him.

    Wednesday, May 27 If you become discouraged in the day of distress, your strength will be meager.—Prov. 24:10. Few trials can leave us feeling more discouraged than when a family member or a close friend leaves Jehovah. (Ps. 78:40) The closer our bond is with the person, the more difficult it can be to accept the situation. If you have had such a painful experience, Zadok’s example of loyalty can strengthen you. He remained loyal to Jehovah when his close associate Abiathar chose to be disloyal. This came about when King David lay on his deathbed. His son Adonijah tried to seize the throne that Jehovah had promised to Solomon. (1 Chron. 22:9, 10) Abiathar chose to support Adonijah. (1 Ki. 1:5-8) In doing so, Abiathar was being disloyal not only to David and Zadok but also to Jehovah! For decades, Zadok and Abiathar had worked closely together as priests.—2 Sam. 8:17; 15:29; 19:11-14. w24.076 ¶14-15

    To put light-speed travel in human terms: At the speed of light, you would reach the Moon in about 1.3 seconds. You would reach the Sun in about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. But the next closest star — Proxima Centauri — would still take about 4.25 years.

    Oh true my bad. Yes that would definitely be a concern. That's a good point.

    Agreed, consciousness doesn’t seem to “reside” in one single spot. From what we've learned so far, It seems to depend on organized brain activity across multiple systems. What I find fascinating is the subjective experience itself... the lived “what it feels like” part... is still not something science can point to as a discrete object or location. We can map the machinery and the correlations, but the experience is not the same kind of thing as a physical object you can cut out and hold. The mind is awesome (more so than the brain "matter").

    That is both horrifying and amazing.

      jwhess posted a post in a topic,

      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.
