  4. One summer from the local forest fires, I ended up with pneumonia. I went to the clinic, they gave me a Z-Pak. Even then, when I went outside, mind you in the summertime, I’d end up with bronchitis. And I couldn’t get rid of it. I figured I’d die. I was in my late 70s and I couldn’t get rid of what I considered to be something pretty serious..

    I had a horrible experience at a Bible study with someone in the house burned a piece of toast. I could only bring it wanted to do the dash for the door. 

    We are out town, at the local health food store. I went to the health food area and told the lady what I was going through and did she have any suggestions. She told me to try oil of oregano. In two days I got my lungs back. 

    If I think I’m gonna go to the clinic and they’re gonna give me an antibiotic for whatever, I drag out the oil of oregano.

    It’s a broad spectrum, antibiotic, and you need to do research so you know how to use it. But I tell you I think it’s wonderful.

    Love, Bea

  5. People are panic buying induction cook top here...sales jumped from 2000 unit per month to 2 lakh per day..
  6. As of early 2026, President Donald Trump has initiated a comprehensive peace plan for the Gaza Strip, centered on a technocratic governing body overseen by an international "Board of Peace". This approach aims to transition Gaza from conflict to reconstruction through a "whole of Gaza" strategy, separating technical management from political leadership. Countries and organizations experimenting with digital ID include programs supported by the World Economic Forum and the United Nations. In my opinion, they are trying either to eliminate Iran or to push its economy back to something like the cave era, because they want every country to eventually move toward technocratic governance. Technocracy refers to governance driven by technology, experts, and data systems. Digital identity Digital currencies Surveillance technology Smart cities Donald Trump will visit China; the major world powers—the United States, China, and Russia—could eventually reach some kind of agreement to reduce tensions and divide global influence among themselves. In that scenario, they might cooperate in managing the world through advanced digital systems, technocratic governance, and large-scale technological control. That’s my point of view: they want 24/7 surveillance over people. They want to see everything everyone does and control it. That is the reason they are spending trillions of dollars on AI — not because they want you to use it to summarize texts, create art, or modify photos and videos. The real reason, in my opinion, is to build systems for total control and surveillance — yes, to spy on people. All the apps on your phone send data to companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and others. Wherever you go, cameras track you. Your phone knows your location. They can see what you type on your keyboard, what you like, and what you don’t like. In many ways, they may know you better than you know yourself.

  8. Does it really matter? Is this a point we should be getting hung up on? A weapon hit a school building and killed children. Those children are still dead regardless if the weapon was US or Iranian.
  9. And that independence came at the cost of destroying the civilizations of thousands of people who were already here. Pretty much every big “creation” of mankind comes with a cost to others and/or the planet.
  10. For a while now, I have not been able to designate the location for videos in the JW Library app. This is the computer and OS: Processor AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 w/ Radeon 890M (2.00 GHz) Installed RAM 32.0 GB (27.6 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 25H2 Installed on ‎12/‎30/‎2024 OS build 26200.8037 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.300.0 JWLib version: 15.7.36 (795978) Here's a picture of what JWLib shows me about the location of the video files: Note that there is not even an option to select the location. There is an option to designate the Music folder. I've deleted and reinstalled the app several times, and there was no change. This is a painful solution as all the files have to be downloaded again. The system video folder is F:\Videos When I download a video file in JWLib they endup in E:\Videos\JWLibrary\ (which used to be the designated location). I was able to change the location for the music location, but lost the option to move the designated location for Videos. I would appreciate any suggestions.
  11. Thank you https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/03/16/fact-check-what-do-we-know-about-the-airstrike-on-a-school-in-iran
  12. Investigation ongoing https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/03/16/fact-check-what-do-we-know-about-the-airstrike-on-a-school-in-iran
  13. For context, technically, 1914, 1925, 1931, 1942, 1953, 1959, 1970, 1981, 1987, 1998, 2009, 2015, and 2026. The next should be 2037 and then 2043. It's a 11 + 11 + 6 = 28 year cycle.
  14. My ideas: An umbrella. Umbrellas have a tendency to get lost/forgotten. An umbrella with the qr-code to jw.org? Soap. Liquid or bar. Exclusive. You always need soap A bottle of good wine, if you know that the CO-couple drink that. A few scented candles. Small ones. Tea-candles. So then they can sit, fresh out of the shower, lighted candles, wine in glass and enjoy an evening. If it rains indoors, there is always the umbrella. - - - I have always only given money (digital). They know their needs best. And money is very flexible that way.
  15. Where do the brothers get this information? From the same sources we do. Besides, you won't learn practically anything about current world events on jw.org.
  16. news of one baby being treated without blood https://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/article315033201.html
  17. In my city, there's panic buying of rice and petrol. I bought 1 sack before people do panic buying. I was able to buy. But this week, suppliers dont want to provide to retail stores.. Hoarding or gone due to panic buying.
  18. Circuit Overseer support in Baruch One of the things I’m currently working on for Baruch is support for Circuit Overseers (COs). I wanted to share the approach I’m taking, because it’s slightly different from how some other congregation tools handle this. Instead of every congregation creating their own separate record for a Circuit Overseer, Baruch maintains a central list of Circuit Overseers per country. When a congregation wants to assign their current CO, they simply select him from this list. If the CO is not yet in the list, the user can create a new entry through a simple wizard. Once created, that CO becomes available for other congregations as well. Assigning a CO works like this: The COBE (or authorized user) opens the Circuit Overseer assignment screen. They select a CO from the list. They set the start date of the assignment. Baruch automatically keeps track of the history of assignments. This approach has several advantages: No duplicate entries – the same CO doesn’t need to be entered separately by every congregation. Consistent contact information – phone, address, etc. only need to be maintained once. Assignment history – congregations can see when a CO started and when a new one was assigned. Future possibilities – in a later phase, a CO could potentially receive limited access to the congregations in his circuit, giving him high-level insights into congregation information. Another intentional design decision is that Baruch does not require managing “circuits” as entities. Circuits can easily become inconsistent when every congregation maintains them separately. Instead, the circuit can simply be derived from the set of congregations assigned to a particular CO. I believe this keeps the system simpler, cleaner, and easier to maintain, while still allowing powerful features in the future. I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions on this approach.
  19. Very nice! How did you do it?
  20. I try to read BBC and Al Jazeera, sometimes NYT. As my teacher in high school said read the newspapers from opposite sites/worldview and you’ll have the closest thing to truth what’s goin on.
  21. I had a look At jwlmanager and wow it looks Great. I would love to have used it back when I ran a pc . After simplifying I and many I know don't have any full operating system hardware anymore so I'm hoping My browser could be a accompaniment to those who are out and about or don't have access to Linux or Windows os
  22. Signs Antarctica is starting to lose Ice gains just like 2023. On March 2nd it was 21st Lowest, today is now at 13th Lowest.

    • 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.”

      Nothing is real.
      I’m actually really glad it exists.
       
      You know what’s amazing?
      Nothing.
       
      If nothing didn’t exist, we’d have a real problem.
       
      I’ve been thinking about nothing a lot lately.
      It might be the most important thing there is.
       
      I don’t think people appreciate nothing nearly enough.
       
      It’s funny… the more I think about nothing, the more incredible it seems.
       
      You ever stop and think how much nothing there is?
       
      Nothing might be the biggest thing in the universe.

      I sometimes mix-up my terminology so this is to help me:
       
      The Lord's supper is the ceremony in which Jesus and his apostles partook on Nisan 14.
       
      Jesus said to do this in remembrance of him, a remembrance of what he is about to do (give his life for mankind). So what we commemorate is the blood and flesh given in our behalf, and we reproduce this event by observing the sacrament of the Lord's supper.
       
      This death serves to enact a new covenant between the spirit-anointed sons and daughters of God, and the other sheep are respectful attendees and participants that honor that contract.
       
      In summary the Memorial (or 'eucharist', meaning 'thanksgiving' in biblical Greek) is our commemoration of the death of Jesus by observing the Lord's supper. The partaking (other denominations call it 'communion') of the emblems, the wine and bread, is done by spirit-anointed christians who are part of the new covenant.
