  1. Past hour
  2. Doesn't hurt...nothing runs in the background. And expands the capability of the PC. Less to figure out later, in the rare event she needs to open a RAR or other non-Zip file. I like future-proofing if it doesn't impact performance. 7-Zip may be just as good (does it handle RARs?) but I'm not familiar with it. Also, I still recommend AVG or another anti-virus simply because hackers will test their exploits out against whatever is most common or popular. Unfortunately all of the ones offered by Ninite are "popular", but at least AVG offers a little more protection than what's built-in. Good browsing practices are always best and can completely negate the need for an AV, but I'm sure you know how that goes for non-tech users. Brave browser helps block a lot of risky stuff anyways. Neat tool! I used to have several tools like this "back in the day". I'm a bit out of date on the latest and greatest tools techs use now. Will definitely check it out! Wish there was a portable version... 🤔

  4. I went to see a Psychiatrist today... She told me I had a split personality and charged me $200... I gave her a $100 and told her to get the rest from the other idiot!

  6. Generally speaking, assuming you're using modern Windows since you mentioned a laptop, Windows Defender is perfectly adequate for general virus protection, though you should do a full system scan from Windows Security if you're having issues. You don't need to pay anything for proper software. As mentioned, adding more antivirus can slow your system down and in some cases even add security vulnerabilities. Don't install applications just because you're offered from advertisements or browser addons that claim free stuff or coupons, and you'll generally be safe. In some cases, a one time scan from Malwarebytes (uninstall it afterwards) as listed above should be enough to detect most malware or 'potentially unwanted programs'. True modern malware doesn't generally slow down your system - they hide invisibly to steal your credentials with keyloggers, though they can occasionally slow it down with cryptominers or advertisement spam. Modern viruses tend to be things like ransomware encryption that completely lock you out of your system or intentionally overclock it to destroy it. PS @computerwiz Ninite is old news now, use winget or WinUtil. 😛 https://christitus.com/windows-tool/) https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil Just teasing, I know Ninite's easier/safer to use for the less technically inclined. But WinRAR? What for? 😹 I remember the memes about how everyone used the trial and never paid for it back in the late 90s. I still use 7z personally, but folder compression has been built into Windows for years now.
  7. Tuesday, December 9 A threefold cord cannot quickly be torn apart.—Eccl. 4:12. When a couple value their friendship with their heavenly Father, they readily apply his advice, which in turn helps them to avoid and overcome problems that could cause their love for each other to cool off. Spiritual people also strive to imitate Jehovah and cultivate qualities that he displays, such as kindness, patience, and forgiveness. (Eph. 4:32–5:1) A couple who display such qualities make it easier for love to thrive. A sister named Lena, who has been married for more than 25 years, says, “It’s easy to love and respect a spiritual person.” Consider a Bible example. When Jehovah had to choose a couple to be the parents of the future Messiah, He chose Joseph and Mary out of the many descendants of David. Why? They both had a personal relationship with Jehovah, and Jehovah knew that they would build their marriage around their love for him. w23.05 21 ¶3-4
  8. You can watch the entire video with NWT audio narration at this link https://www.bibliaprints.com/bible/isaiah/chapter-6/ Isaiah Chapter 6 jw.mp4
  9. https://ninite.com/ Pick the programs you need/want (and make sure you actually need/want them...because unnecessary stuff, even if legit, can slow your computer down). Once you've checked them off, press "Get Your Ninite" Then run it. Everything will "magically" be downloaded & installed & configured for you. Easy peezy, lemon squeezy. Also note: Don't install more than 1 anti-virus on your computer, as they can conflict with each other. These are my recommendations for any new computer for a JW:
  10. Why do many people prefer to say OH for the number zero? One less syllable. If that person has been reciting numerals, shorter saves breath.
  11. Some lands have been split or renamed. I found the older year reports compelling.
  12. Midwk meeting, last, a sister on zoom with video on, removed her dentures, seemed to be looking at them. Hope I don't do something thoughtleslly on zoom.
  13. Ticket prices have increased dramatically and some are not available.
  14. Apply your renewal sticker on your car tag before your get a ticket.
  15. spent most of today (still in pajamas, second set,)trying to get New antivirus. Don't know if anything is working on this laptop.
  16. STRANGE ORANGE Look similar, end the same, sound differently.
  17. Love is a four letter word and also an overused one. I guess people do not know how to identify emotions and say they feel some kinda way. Huh?
  18. online def of prophet: a person regarded as an inspired teacher or proclaimer of the will of God Also prophet can have the connotation of "one who delivers prophecy/prophecies.
  19. thanks for sharing! they look wonderful and easy for the householder for its simplicity.
  20. Did they ruin it with something stupid or just not the same quality as the rest?

    • 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.”

      Why the trinity cannot be true:
       
      Since God is a completely perfect being, there cannot be a second person who is God, for they would have to differ in some way, and to differ from complete perfection is to be less than perfect and not be God.

      My deep love for my heavenly father and his confirmed love for me seems to be the only thing keeping me going lately. Picturing being reunited with my earthly father again; seeing the happiness versions of ourselves bring comfort to my scarred, broken heart. I love you, even when I haven’t met many of you. Keep enduring friends, paradise is just around the corner...

      Sad news 😭 that sister LindaL from Sardegna Italy passed away. She was on this forum. She will be remembered for her quiet generosity. She loved the world wide family of brothers and sisters dearly.
