Deep Thoughts indeed.. You're a deeeeep thinker...

Remember the NASA space project Voyager (VGER for Star Trek fans) launched 49 years ago and still going? Problem isn’t so much the craft, but the fact that the original personnel are all gone and the vastly inferior computing at that time. interesting article relating current dilemmas: NASA Still Maintains Some of Voyager Spacecraft Code

is it working to reduce chocolate intake. they are gooey too

I noticed an 'undocumented feature' last night. The KH Cleaning assignments are posted several months in advance and they are not in order in the Duties section. Some of the assignments for this month are at the bottom of the list with the assignments for later in the year. The KH Cleaning assignments are for the individual meeting date but they are still showing up as Week assignments in the description of the assignment.

James, NWP devs are not members here nor read this forum. They will never know all you have posted unless you file a ticket by means of their support system. Complaining here is ok, but it won't solve anything.

More inconsistencies or Problems in the NWP app, this time in the Away Speaker details! In the Away Public Talk under Assignments some of the congregations that requested speakers from us DO NOT show the mobile number of the Talk Coordinator who requested the speaker but just his email address. After investigating this further, when the contact number in the NWS app is in the format of (123) 456-7890 it DOES NOT show up it in the NWP app. When it is in the format of 123-456-7890 it DOES display it. For crying out loud, I feel like that this 4.0.* NWP app was released in a beta stage and this will not be the last problem. There are parsing routines for field entries that will check the validity of any entries. The "( )" is a valid entry in the phone field and before you populate the Talk Coordinator details in the NWS app you should run it through a parsing routine and flag it if there are invalid entries or force the entries to a format you want. Since the NWS accepts the (123) 456-7890 format but doesn't display it in the NWP app you must have a problem in the populating of the Talk Coordinator's details in the NWP app. As I mentioned before PLEASE be diligent in the QC before releasing a new version.

So it will at least cover the story from chapter 44 to chapter 59 (in jy) and, if so, stop right before the Transfiguration. Ep 7 and 8 are probably two long episodes.

Looking forward to world cup as well. Theres a stadium not too far away but tickets are too expensive for me so ill probably just stick to watching theres a few brothers from Portugal in my hall so I know theyll be inviting people over to watch

There are some people that eat fast food very often. And you will note that I said I walked to a ball game and stopped at Dairy Queen for a hamburger and a drink. When I was still working, I would drive by several fast-food restaurants. I am not saying the fast food is the only cause but for some people it is a major contributor. Also walking to a ball game and driving to work was also important. Unlike you there are people who eat fast food almost daily. I agree about the High fructose corn syrup being the biggest problem. But i think there are other things that also contribute to the problem.

Type 2 diabetes is the adult-onset diabetes. It is not insulin dependent and is much easier to treat than type 1 diabetes. I had a niece with type 1 diabetes which she had from the time she was a teenager until she died at the age of 40. I have believed in "fasting for your health" for the past 35 years. I have fasted on 3 occasions, but only for 3 days each time. If I tried fasting now, I would have to stop my medication. I went without eating once (just for one day) while still taking prescription medicines. It upset my stomach really bad.

Happy When Hated. [Verse 1]: They laugh when I speak of Your holy name, Yet deep in my heart burns a heavenly flame. The world may reject what it cannot see, But Your loving spirit keeps strengthening me. When darkness surrounds and the cold winds rise, I still see Your promise beyond troubled skies. You carried me gently through sorrow and pain, And taught me that sunshine can follow the rain. [Pre-Chorus]: I will not fear the voices of night; Your hand is leading me into the light. Though many may turn and walk far away, Your love gives me courage each day. [Chorus]: I’m happy when hated for standing with You, For Your love is stronger than all I go through. No chains and no trials can silence my song; With Jehovah beside me, I always stay strong. Faith lifts me higher than mountains above; I live in the power of Your endless love. [Verse 2]: They question the path that I faithfully choose, Not knowing the peace they themselves refuse. But I see compassion in each angry face, For many are searching for truth and for grace. Like Stephen and Jesus, I pray from my heart That someday they too choose Jehovah’s part. For hatred can fade when Your goodness is shown, And seeds of Your Kingdom in hearts can be sown. [Pre-Chorus]: You teach me to answer with kindness and peace, To trust that Your mercy will never cease. Though hatred may echo around me today, Your spirit keeps lighting my way. [Chorus]: I’m happy when hated for standing with You, For Your love is stronger than all I go through. No chains and no trials can silence my song; With Jehovah beside me, I always stay strong. Faith lifts me higher than mountains above; I live in the power of Your endless love. [Verse 3]: This world may divide and choose sides in the fight, But I serve the Kingdom of truth and of light. No prison can weaken the hope that I hold; Your promises shine brighter far more than gold. My brothers and sisters stand faithful and near; Their courage and kindness bring comfort and cheer. Together we walk through the storm and the flame, Still joyful and proud to honor Your name. [Pre-Chorus]: And when tears are falling, You stay by my side; In You, I will always safely abide. No hatred can steal what heaven has given; My hope is alive and risen. [Bridge]: One day every sorrow and tear will be gone; The nations will learn where true peace belongs. No voices of hatred, no fear and no pain, Just joy in Your Kingdom forever to reign. Until that bright morning, I’ll faithfully stand, With love in my heart and Your truth in my hands. [Final Chorus]: I’m happy when hated for serving Your name, For walking with You is far greater than fame. Though this world may judge me, Your smile is enough; You fill me with courage when life becomes tough. Forever I’ll trust You wherever I go; Your love is the brightest light I will know. Faith makes me fearless, Your spirit my song; With Jehovah beside me, I always belong. Happy When Hated.mp3

Spiritual food, right? right?

I always have some deep thoughts in bed. Soon my sister is going to pioneer school. I wonder should I ask her to bring some extra food from the school back home for me? Back to bed with some more deep thoughts.

I used live captions on my iPad, and ran it through ChatGPT to try and match the lines spoken to their appropriate verses (feel free to point out any inaccuracies) Do you have faith that I can do this? - Yes, Lord. (Mt 9:28) My little daughter is extremely ill. Please, come. (Mark 5:23) Have mercy on me, Lord. Son of David. (Mt 15:22) Who are men saying the son of Man is? - Some say John the Baptist. Others, Elijah. You, though. Who do you say I am? - You are the Christ. The son of the living God. (Mt 16:13-16) Do not think I came to bring peace to the earth… - (you need to leave this place) …I came to bring, not peace, But a sword. (Mt 10:34) Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Whose father and mother we know. (John 6:42) I chose you, 12. Yet one of you is a slanderer. (John 6:70) Get behind me, Satan. (Mt. 16:23, Mr 8:33) What have I to do with you? Jesus! Son of the most high God! (Mr 5:7) Have no fear. Only exercise faith. (Mr 5:36)

Next thing I will be working on is adding the option to add a tag to an existing tag so you can create branches of tags. For instance, if you have a tag for Jehovah's love, you can also have a tag for Jehovah's qualities added to it

Yes, but people didn’t make a lifestyle out of it. We’d go to Taco Bell once in a great while, get 6 tacos for a dollar, and split them between 2 adults and 2 children. I think he did it because all the vegetation had been destroyed in the flood.

Mobile formatting in full mode is now properly wrapping. Who knew long file names would mess up the entire flow... well lot's of experiences programmers I'm sure.. but I was clueless. So when you visit on your phone now The page should be much easier to navigate. I'm also considering making the simple mode the homepage And the full featured version a tab away

I preferred the older style of tag management with the drop down box but I only have 100 tags. It became apparent to me people with thousands of tag's exist and it crashed the site hard. So had to page it in blocks of 50 and renaming had to be typed. A compromise for now

I need to reorder/sort my tags and notes... This is a mess

I want to be clear. I'm not opposed to eating meat at all. It doesn't matter to me what people choose to eat. In fact, I would love to eat meat if I thought it was necessary for optimal nutrition, but I don't. My opinions are based on my personal experience and that of family and friends who have adopted a plant-based diet. It is also based on over 20 years of research, including hundreds of hours of reading countless books, watching countless videos, and documentaries. I'm of the opinion that Jehovah permitted man to eat animals, not because the produce was no longer suitable, but, like you said, because the survival of the human race depended on the earth being in a perpetual tropical climate needed to grow most of the produce in many parts of the earth year-round. Also, I think Jehovah knew that many individuals wouldn't always have enough fertile land necessary to sustain themselves, so they needed other sources of nutrition. While meat has some benefits, plant sources of nutrition are far superior and agree a lot better with the human digestive system. As I mentioned in my previous post, I get my blood checked every six months. I am not deficient in any nutrient. All my levels are excellent and my protein levels have only changed 0.1 since I gave up meat. My blood results improved dramatically once I switched to a plant based diet. I agree that a plant-based diet isn't for everyone. Everyone is free to eat how they choose. I just believe a plant-based diet is better for optimal nutrition in most cases. I do believe bad diets can cause body odor. When I was younger, I thought “morning breath” was normal. I Haven't had morning breath a single day in over 13 years. I read an article stating how it is caused by the body releasing toxins through the mouth, and then it dawned on me why I hadn't had it since I started eating cleaner. Although I sometimes choose to, I don't stink if I don't wear deodorant either. I don't say that to say I’m better than others, but my experience and that of others in my family have shown me that a poor diet can cause body odor. Although not showering will cause anybody to smell bad 🤪 But I'm afraid this is turning into a debate, so I won't speak on it anymore. Plus, my reason for bringing it up was to help the OP. And I appreciate you’re humility, but no apology was necessary. We were just having a discussion 😊

I agree with 97% of what you're saying there, I just want to elaborate on one point a bit. Don't forget that Jehovah is the one who changed the dietary guidelines. He is the one who put the fear of man into the animals and the desire for animal flesh into man and the ability to digest it with a stomach pH of 1 and less than 5% waste as stool. I believe that he did this because we could no longer get much of what we needed from the trees or bush, since he cursed the ground and changed the climate. (Genesis 9:2) "A fear of you and a terror of you will continue upon every living creature of the earth and upon every flying creature of the heavens, upon everything that moves on the ground and upon all the fish of the sea. They are now given into your hand." (Deuteronomy 12:15) “But whenever you desire it (“in all the desire of your soul.”), you may slaughter and eat meat, according to the blessing that Jehovah your God has given you in all your cities. The unclean person and the clean person may eat it, as you would eat a gazelle or a deer. (Deuteronomy 12:21) If the place that Jehovah your God chooses to put his name is far away from you, you should then slaughter some of your herd or some of your flock that Jehovah has given you, just as I have commanded you, and you should eat inside your cities whenever you desire it ("in all the desire of your soul.”). ...I did end up going off on a bit of a tangent here, I apologize. For many people, especially mothers and babies, ones in recent generations born with chronic illnesses due to the nutritional deficiencies in their mother and suffering from the herbicides killing our microbiome and gut lining such as myself, or ones dealing with chronic serious metabolic disorders as in this thread's case, the conversion ratio of nutrients in plants into the forms that our body actually uses are so low and the amounts needed to thrive are far beyond the 'recommended daily allowance', it's often unattainable for such ones even with a balanced vegetarian diet, even if eating to excess or juicing. The simplest methods to get what our body's need to grow or heal is to eat an excess of bio-available fatty acids, nutrition, and minerals that are in a ready to use form, which is primarily found in fatty fish and ruminant organ meat. It's somewhat ironic that one of the fastest ways for obese individuals with diabetes to lose weight is to eat only a high fat diet. This allows your body to learn to adapt to processing and metabolizing ketones efficiently, it reverses the state of metabolic slowdown and constant hunger by providing satiation. In the cases where someone has an acetone body odor when you're referring to detoxing, fasting, herxheimer reactions, or the 'keto flu', that isn't a toxin, but excess ketones that should pass once the body's cells have adapted to using them as the primary fuel source instead of glucose in the absence of glucose. This is healthy and essential to healing from metabolic illness, provided that you have already reduced the insulin resistance to the point where you don't maintain high blood glucose levels, which could lead to ketoacidosis. Fasting helps do that before you change your diet itself.

The only sport I'll watch it the Soccer world cup next month
