  3. Released from where? He's been dead over ten years.. 🤔
  4. Latest projection made by NMME is that earth will reach about +1.9C - +2.5C in temperature above preindustrial each month next year, Hansen projects this very sharp rise in temperature will start even earlier in the next couple of months once the Super El Niño kicks into gear.
  5. Filled above the brim, is where I like my whipped cream on top of hot chocolate.
  6. That is one way, the other is slippage. Tsunamis are caused by the sudden displacement of a large volume of water—not by the mere breaking of bonds within rock. That displacement can result from an undersea earthquake, a landslide or rockfall entering the water, volcanic activity, or even a large mass of ice calving from a glacier. The resulting wave may be small, but local landslide-generated tsunamis can be enormous. In 1958, a rockslide into Alaska’s Lituya Bay produced water run-up that stripped trees from the rock face as high as about 1,720 feet above sea level. So the crucial factor is the sudden displacement of water. Ironically, the rock slide was the result of an earthquake.
  7. Aunt Ant ain't an ant? 🤔
  8. My aunt joined an insect colony. Now nobody knows whether I’m talking about a relative or a resident.
  9. An ant that pretends you aren't there is an ignorant..
  10. Yesterday
  11. Mandela is being released this weekend. Reminder, his first wife Evelyn Mase was our spiritual sister Her bio is featured here and on JW.org. Sorry to be OT, again.
  12. El Niño is now at +2.32C creeping closer to strongest ever recorded in human history (+2.75C), it is forecast to surpass and be around +3.6C or stronger. Get ready for wild weather this year and next year especially.
  13. ..went to an imax to appreciate a production.
  14. Yeah too early for sure on the assessment, the bad news is, this will only get worst, already at 380,000 evacuated. If these heatwaves keep coming, it will only fuel this enormous wildfire.
  15. Earthquakes and tsunamis occur when the bonds inside rocks rupture. That's how strong!
  16. I fully admit that I was not, so I posed this exact question to Claude for a bit of context. In addition to giving some detailed information about each entity cited, this was the response from Claude: I know these individually, but I want to flag something before going further: this specific combination — BlackRock, ESG, Barbara Lerner Spectre, and the WEF, tied together as influencing Hollywood — is a well-known conspiracy theory framework, and the Spectre piece in particular comes from an antisemitic narrative (often called "the great replacement" or "white genocide" theory), where a 2010 interview clip of hers is taken out of context and circulated as "proof" of a coordinated Jewish plan to promote multiculturalism. If you're seeing these four grouped together somewhere, it's worth being skeptical of the source — real institutional overlaps (BlackRock's index-fund ownership, WEF's influence on corporate ESG frameworks) exist and are worth discussing on their own terms, but the "unified plot involving Hollywood" framing isn't supported by evidence.
  17. Why some of us are hesitant to recommend a specific mate is... - because unlike recommending a car or job - marriage is "sacred" and eternal in Jehovah's eyes - so we want to be very, very careful in overly influencing, motivating, pressuring a brother/sister toward another mate, even if they are seeking recommendations. However, we want to help our single sisters/brothers if they want/need. But rather than recommending a specific person as a marriage mate - we would try to recommend "qualities" - the good spiritual and loving qualities we have observed in someone - another single brother/sister we know well may have certain qualities our friend is seeking. - so since our friend has asked for our help, it would be a kindness to share our observations it is not carrying another person's "load" of responsibility to simply give some guidance and "recommend" qualities we observe in others. In the end, it is our friend who makes his/her own personal decision. Are there any Bible examples that can help with the question of whether it is right or wrong to give some help/guidance to singles ones who seek a mate? So a single brother/sister who is interested in finding a mate... - may have to "inquire" of others, like the article mentioned. - some single ones may need help from others in finding a mate because they find no one in their area - or some may need help, not just finding any mate, but a good spiritual person. - But what good would "inquiring" do if everyone "shut their door" to this single brother/sister? - What if no one was willing to share any "favorable comments" about the qualities they have observed in another person to help their friend find a potential mate? Yet, we still have to be very careful... - influencing or pressuring our friend to marry someone we know - our friend may view us like an "Uncle", "Big Brother", "Father Figure", "Big Sister", "Mother Figure" or we have a measure of authority in the congregation, and so any opinion, advice, recommendation we give to our friend, may have much more impact or influence on our friend's decisions than we could know! Even if we feel a certain sister or brother would be a "good match" - it is better if we are only recommending certain qualities we have seen. - that is different than recommending a specific person for our friend to enter into a sacred marriage with! So it is not "wrong" to help a single friend seeking help/guidance in finding a mate. However, as mentioned above, what will our recommendation be? - To motivate our friend to marry our cousin or some brother/sister we know in another congregation? - To try and quickly set up a "date", to be a "matchmaker"? - Or to ask our friend what qualities are important to him/her? - and to help them by sharing some good qualities we have observed in a "Ruth" or "Boaz"we know

  21. Monday, July 27 Their rock is not like our Rock.—Deut. 32:31. We live in a world where unexpected challenges can disrupt—or even completely change—our lives. How thankful we are that we can turn to Jehovah God for help! When we receive his support, that experience reassures us that “Jehovah is alive!” (Ps. 18:46) However, right after making that declaration, David called God “my Rock.” Why would he liken Jehovah to an inanimate object—a rock? The Bible uses the term “rock” as a word picture to help us grasp qualities that Jehovah possesses. It often appears in passages that praise him as a God who is without equal. The first reference to Jehovah as “the Rock” is found at Deuteronomy 32:4. In prayer, Hannah said that “there is no rock like our God.” (1 Sam. 2:2) Habakkuk called Jehovah “my Rock.” (Hab. 1:12) The writer of Psalm 73 called God “the rock of my heart.” (Ps. 73:26) And even Jehovah referred to himself as a rock.—Isa. 44:8. w24.06 26 ¶1, 3

  24. "Carry your load." That's good counsel. Remembering that it is a great responsibility to "introduce," or recommend a sister to a certain brother, or vice versa. If someone asks for help in being introduced to someone, perhaps that would be acceptable. But if not, then it's none of our business. At least that's my opinion. Years ago, a married couple thought they were good matchmakers, and thought they were doing good to recommend a sister to a brother who was wanting to get married. And so that's what they did. But, let's just say it didn't go well! He followed up on their recommendation. In the long run, they dated for a while, but then the sister broke off the relationship with him. The brother was absolutely crushed, and couldn't bring himself to even speak to the married couple for a long time afterward. I won't go into more details.

  26. I just wanted to seek opinion on a matter and all the opinions have been insightful. Thanks everyone. I have a little more insight into why David expressed his awesome admiration for creation in Psalm 104:24,25. Thanks [emoji120] everyone. Sent from my moto g stylus 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk

    • 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.”

      There's a tree blocking my road where I walk through to go to work. If I go see the mayor or the city council and ask him to do something about it, am I breaching my neutrality ?

      I met an older sister at the regional in 2024. She was really nice. We talked the first two days together before being able to go in. I always wondered how she was doing. I found out yesterday she's friends with my bible teacher 😭🤣. Who knew at a convention that has people from three different states, i run into someone that's actually local to me. My bible teacher was gonna invite her to a game night yesterday but she was unable to go, she mentioned the sisters name and showed a picture and i nearly lost my mind (in a good way)

      I always thought that "branch representative" meant a member of the branch committee, but apparently it's not the case? So who can be a branch representative?
