  1. Past hour
  2. I used it a little bit to draft it, but I didn't like what it gave me and so I whittled it down and then I even passed my final version through it to compare how it might refine what I wrote, and it had about 70 more words, and I can really see where it took me out of it. This is 100% me. That response, above, was probably 40 to 45% AI formulation, but in my words. And while I'm at it, almost every one of the images that I use in my blog are AI images. Some are obvious illustrations.
  3. The use of A.I. seems to very addictive once you get used to using it .. all our communication gets polished .So I am just curious did you use A.I. to draft that ..?
  4. Yesterday
  5. It seems by the wording that she was of the other sheep? Just like brother Lett’s wife.
  6. The account of Uzziah reminds me how quietly a heart can change when it stops looking to Jehovah. The record says, “As soon as he was strong, his heart became haughty to his own ruin.” — 2 Chronicles 26:16. His increase in strength should have drawn him closer to Jehovah, yet it revealed a shift inside — he began trusting the ability rather than the One who gave it. In a softer way, we face something similar today. Some tools, including forms of artificial intelligence, can make writing clearer or organizing easier, but they cannot carry our faith or speak for our heart. When we lean too heavily on them, our own voice grows thin, and the warmth Jehovah shaped in us becomes harder for others to feel. Humility keeps us grounded. It reminds us that the value is not in the polish, but in the person Jehovah is forming. And the proverb reassures us that “the result of humility and the fear of Jehovah is riches and glory and life.” — Proverbs 22:4. With that in mind, we can use tools when needed, but we keep our trust — and our voice — with Jehovah.
  7. Many appreciate the reminder to use “beautiful imperfect words.” That thought resonates with some of us who have relied on tools simply to tidy our writing. We may draft our own comments, then use a program much like we would ask a friend to look it over before submitting it. The goal was not to replace our voice but only to make our wording clearer. Yet doing so can have an unintended effect. When every rough edge is removed, our comments may lose the warmth and personality that make them uniquely ours. In a setting where sincere, heartfelt expressions are valued, overly polished comments may hide the person behind the words. It can therefore be wise to consider how much we allow such tools to shape our final comments. Many would rather express themselves plainly — with the small imperfections that show who they are — than give the impression that their words came from a source that is not part of our spiritual family. But I have to use the spell check, or Oh Boy! James 1:19 & Philippians 1:9-10
  8. Friday, December 12 As soon as he was strong, his heart became haughty to his own ruin, and he acted unfaithfully against Jehovah.—2 Chron. 26:16. When King Uzziah became powerful, he forgot that Jehovah was the Source of his strength and prosperity. What is the lesson? We do well to remind ourselves that our blessings and privileges come from Jehovah. Rather than boast about our accomplishments, we should give Jehovah the credit for what we are able to do. (1 Cor. 4:7) We must humbly realize that we are imperfect and need discipline. A brother in his 60’s wrote: “I have learned not to take myself too seriously. When I receive discipline for the childish mistakes that I sometimes make, I try to get back up and keep moving forward.” The reality is that when we fear Jehovah and keep a humble view of ourselves, our life will turn out well.—Prov. 22:4. w23.09 10 ¶10-11
  9. *** w14 7/15 p. 17 Losing a Father—Finding a Father *** When I arrived back in Austria, I was assigned to a circuit where I met Tove Merete, an attractive single sister. She was raised in the truth from the time she was five years old. When brothers ask us how we met, we jokingly say, “The branch office arranged for that.” We got married a year later, in April 1967, and we were allowed to continue in the traveling work together. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=2014525&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=31
  10. These are the nominations, 50/50 field: Michelle Bachelet (Chile): Former President and UN Human Rights Commissioner. Rebeca Grynspan (Costa Rica): Head of UNCTAD, former VP. Rafael Grossi (Argentina): Director General of the IAEA. David Choquehuanca (Bolivia): Former Foreign Minister, current VP.
  11. With all the withdrawing from agreements etc, I'm surprised the US administration hasn't withdrawn from the Pact for the Future. Interesting.
  12. Issues are important challenges or events in someone's life, but people usually focus on the negative definition.
  13. Hawks are people who favour aggressive, assertive, and often military-based solutions to foreign policy issues.
  14. 'Followed like a hawk' the expression is, but why are they following hawks?
  15. I have made a simple commandline/terminal utility (for Windows, Linux and macOS systems) to parse text and .docx (MS Word) documents and extract scriptures and references to publications. So, I you have a talk outline (or some other document containing publication references in parentheses or square brackets), this will extract them and give you a link to view your references (or scriptures) on Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY (wol.jw.org). Instructions and downloads on my GitHub repo: https://github.com/erykjj/refractor Issues/suggestions: either here or create an issue in the repo.
  16. Fact is today's obsession with social media and so-called news, both mainstream and alt-news, the line between facts, opinions and bold-faced falsehoods is mired in subterfuge and deception to push agendas.
  17. Why do coffee lovers always have a strong relationship?
  18. Is it ok to share this memorial with JWs I know?..or is it confidential?
  19. From my Film darkroom taken with a medium format Mamiya RZ67 Chambered Nautilus and Multnomah Falls Oregon
  20. It is difficult enough to use human intelligence serving Jehovah, without adding in anything else. Hopefully we can all talk to each other as real people from the heart, and keep the site truthfully real.
  21. Just to let everyone know … We will be drafting a policy on the use of A.I. We are having major concerns that certain “research” is being dumped on the forum and we have to sort through posts as to what is correct… honestly we have better things to do. And yes we can tell by the style … punctuation.. formatting ..and neutral voice and repeat offenders. Using A.I. To summarize whole study articles and then dumping them as your research is getting a little out of hand. A.I. Engines are not members of JW Talk. So please be responsible for your own words… use A.I. If you want but make your posts your own beautiful imperfect words.
  22. The recently adopted Pact for the Future is an effort to reorganize and be better prepared for a global crisis. It gives standing authority to the Secretary-General to convene essential departments (WHO, IMF, WORLD BANK etc) when a crisis meets a specific criteria of a global shock. This reorganization seems to be conducive to the Rev 17:17 prophesy. When Jehovah gives them his 'one thought', they may think "This is what we voted for. It's time to pull the fire alarm and execute the Emergency Platform". With all that, its remarkable that the UN will have a new Secretary-General in 12 months. The new guy or gal will be eager to show the world what an effective leader they are!

    • 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.”
