  2. In the United States, not every death in which heat played a role is reported as a heat-related death. Heat often worsens existing conditions such as heart disease, kidney disease, or respiratory illness, but unless medical evidence supports listing heat as a contributing factor on the death certificate, it may not be counted as heat-related. As a result, official totals are generally considered an underestimate of heat's true impact. The CDC only accounts for an average of 800 deaths a year in the United States.
  3. I have been active in the field ministry since 1949. In the 76+ years since then I have at times run into VERY opposed individuals, as well as a couple of times when I thought they might be apostate. In cases where the individual was rational, reasonable, and ready to reason, I would talk with them for a while. When the conversation got the the point that it was obvious there would not be a successful conclusion, I would say "It is apparent that we see things differently" and then leave. In cases where the person was NOT rational or reasonable, I have just turned around a left. If we think just turning around and leaving is bad manners, just think of all of the times a door has been slammed in your face. Thanks, Jim P.S. My comment about slamming doors goes back to many years ago. Candidly, I cannot remember that heppening to me in the past 10 years. P.P.S. But if the person is totally not rational, sometimes all you can do is just leave.

  5. NASA's Hubble Tracks New Decagon Encircling Saturn’s South Pole Release date: 2 Sept 2026 2pm; ID: 2026-022 10-sided wave appears to strengthen in year-over-year Hubble observations Stunning portraits of the gas giants in our solar system over the last several decades can make these planets seem like familiar, unchanging worlds. Jupiter’s Great Red Spot and Saturn’s famous northern hexagon are recognizable features that have persisted for years, reinforcing that message. However, astronomers know that these planets are actually constantly in motion, changing much like our own Earth. The latest major discovery from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope offers a striking example: a newly formed, 10-sided atmospheric wave, called a decagon, encircling Saturn’s south pole. Researchers are just beginning to piece together the history of this new feature and investigate what its evolution can reveal about the dynamic atmospheres of gas giant planets.

Observations show the decagon extends through multiple layers of Saturn’s atmosphere.

  6. Lets no deny others lived experience. The 'badge of honour' is used by real apostates also. Sometimes we cant escape minimal contact with them if they are family or ex family.
  7. Thats not the consideration and gossip or give weenies attention doesnt summarise the concerns raised in the past and the biggest/longest threads ever in this forum. afaik.
  8. https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(26)00293-7 https://share.gemini.google/oEgutF3wtKoY https://staycuriousmetabolism.substack.com/p/a-major-trial-put-keto-against-the?r=7vwqrr&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web I just wanted to share this. As a zero carb carnivore, it's such a boon to have provable evidence of some of the benefits of genuinely low carbohydrate diets compared to others. It's not a matter of weight, it's your metabolism that will really benefit your health.
  9. I found CapCut. Can be used in the browser. So next session, I know what I have to do ... I think ...

  11. (If this is not the right sub-forum, please move it.) Many years ago, I made a music video. My own song, my own camera recordings. My song is now on Spotify, YouTube etc. My video needs A LITTLE editing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I3zb3Ouz1U Anyone have any experience with a good program? LosslessCut seems too much. I am thinking about downloading Shortcut: https://www.shotcut.org/download/ ... but I absolutely HATE to install new programs. Recommended ram is 12. I have 16. I have enough free space also. Help me work up the courage, or would you like to edit the video for me?
  12. Interesting information regarding daily records in the US according to the CDC.https://ephtracking.cdc.gov/Applications/heatTracker/ But I read an article that the CDC may not fully report the exact number. https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/heatrisk/cdc.html#:~:text=Each year%2C hot weather results,cause in the death certificate. I am ready for cooler temps. One day soon. 🙂
  13. Im sure Poland isn’t the only country where selfishness and shortsightedness show that we are closer and closer to the end of human rule. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1HeQn8Nf4G/?mibextid=wwXIfr 7,5 milion PLN (~2 mln USD) investment got awarded
  14. If someone is apostate, that's our judgement of them... They would not, I wouldn't think, describe themselves as 'apostate'. I don't think you understand what I mean by this. They might say they are 'agnostic' or an 'atheist' or something similar. But not 'apostate'.
  15. Brother Tom, How beautiful -Oh the angels - may Jehovah continue to bless you - I will re-read your rv experiences, so encouraging - while out in service today, and I thank you for sharing!
  16. Climate skeptics will no doubt appreciate. France: Approximately 7,300 excess deaths (preliminary figures). According to Santé publique France (data as of mid-August 2026): May (May 24–28): ≈ 300 June 17–July 2: 5,764 July 3–22: 1,243 The figures for August have not yet been released. Additionally, we are expecting temperatures of 40° in some regions again this week. By way of comparison, in 2003: According to estimates by Inserm (the Hémon-Jougla report) and InVS: Cumulative excess mortality of approximately 14,800 to 15,000 deaths between August 1 and 20, 2003. A mass death toll that shocked the entire country—and still, there is no widespread air conditioning. The intense heat wave lasted mainly from August 4 to August 13–15, with a peak in mortality around August 12 (more than 2,000 excess deaths on that day). But one day Jesus will say, “Be quiet, heat wave!” It shouldn’t be much longer now.
  17. Tambien noté ese cambio. Debe significar que ya estan haciendo el cambio para poner las nuevas. Si es un hecho que habrá el proximo año verdad? English: I noticed that change too. It must mean they're already making the switch to install the new ones. It is a sure thing for next year, right?
  18. yeah, efficiency vs transmission line loss is a different kettle of fish.
  19. Sometimes lately in the USA, the power doesn't work right so the AC doesn't work. I don't know how to explain why.
  20. I recognize that AI is impossible to be wrong, but I also have noticed it is how and what questions are asked. https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=107&t=3 From Gemini (much less waste): Sorry. I must have said transmission, but I meant just heat transference/ loss.
  21. We were informed that, here in Brazil, we will have a visit from members of the world headquarters in October. However, unlike in previous years, that special three-hour meeting will not be broadcast to the congregations. I was surprised because I really enjoy this meeting, and I don’t understand the reason for the change. I found it quite curious and interesting.
  22. 🇪🇸 Spain — Extreme summer heat is now blamed for an estimated 2,149 deaths in August alone, making it the second-deadliest August since Spain began keeping these records in 2015. Even more sobering, an estimated 5,234 people died from heat-related causes between May 15 and August 31—the highest summer toll recorded by the monitoring system. Nearly all of those who died in August were over 65, including 1,285 people over 85. And summer may be ending, but the heat is not: temperatures across much of inland Spain are expected to climb above 95°F (35°C) again later this week. Google
  23. ⛴️ Northern Cyprus Ferry — Eight people are confirmed dead and 20 remain missing from the Filo Jet, which sank Sunday with 267 people aboard. A Turkish Navy deep-sea vessel equipped with a submersible has now joined the operation to search the wreck more than 500 meters below the Mediterranean.
  24. 🇵🇭 Philippines — The death toll from the cyclones and continuing southwest monsoon has risen to 34. Flooding remains widespread, and authorities are bringing in additional troops, vehicles and water-rescue equipment as some communities that were not previously considered flood-prone are now being inundated.
  25. 🇯🇵 Japan — The record-rain emergency has largely moved into recovery. Residents in Fukui are now clearing mud and water from flood-damaged homes after the extraordinary rainfall, with the immediate danger complicated by a sharp change in weather: heatstroke alerts were issued as temperatures climbed during the cleanup.

    • 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.”
