My wife just got grumpy at me. She said I yawned six times when she was talking to me just before. They were actually just six attempts to speak.

Oh wow. It’s true that we usually depict Paul as bald like that. So you think that’s the brother who will play / is already playing Paul in the new series? Do you think that they would’ve already started filming those scenes two years ago? And then hide them in plain sight at the 2024 convention? if so, I’d love to know what that scene is about. If you watch carefully, Paul is preaching to a dark skinned man, and everybody in the background is also a dark skinned. Is it supposed to be the good news entering Africa? As far as I can recall, of all the accounts in the Greek scriptures, I only remember us depicting the Ethiopian eunuch as being dark skinned previously so this could shine a light on new historical background research they’ve done in preparation for the new series on Acts…

If Belarus left the list of 240 there should be 239 instead of 241 What two new lands started to report openly ?

My brother, the concepts you present sound very good, but (honestly) it all looks like it's AI generated. Keeping it simple will help the rest of us understand (and accept) more readily ;-)

It was interesting to see that Len Nimoy's Jewish background came into play in identifying the sign for 'live long and prosper'. It was the Hebrew 'S' for El Shaddai - The Almighty God. still have ST films over here from time to time.

From the many responses to this topic, I've noticed that there are numerous versioning issues with NWS and NWP. Especially when schema changes occur on NWS, it's possible that the NWP clients aren't yet on the current version. This can lead to major compatibility issues, such as those reported here. I've solved these versioning issues with Baruch. The environment is updated using versioned messages, ensuring continued compatibility. I've explained how I implemented this in this post. Perhaps it would be a good idea for the NWS developers to implement this same principle as well. It prevents a lot of problems.

Yes, it is very helpful in producing a song. The free very limits the preferences and styles, but it still offers a very good choice for voice and musical options. I based one on the wording of 'All Things Bright and Beautiful'. It seems ok, but only my wife has heard it.

Thanks, Jarred. I'm not familiar with that song but your cover sounds good. If you like to write songs with the help of AI, visit this thread

Thanks, David. Sharing songs like this is why this thread is here. Great idea for a song and it sounds really good.

I have been using Suno AI to make songs. It is quite an impressive tool. I am using the "Free" version. The "Paid" version is much more impressive from some of the videos I have watched ... but the free one has been working for me You can enter something very simple in their "Prompt" box under the "Simple" button, or you can get quite detailed under the "Custom" button. It can be as simple as "Song about buying a new suit" and it will write, the words, select a style, create the music and supply the singing voice. You can be a little more descriptive in the "Simple" more like "Song about renewing my car registration" and then describing a music style like "Irish folk song with male voice" As for the style, you can get even more descriptive like "Southern Country meets Be-Bop and Texas Swing" and it will give you a mixture of those. Of course, you can get more descriptive as you acquaint yourself with the way Suno writes descriptions. With the "Custom" tab, you can enter your own lyrics and use up to 1,000 characters to describe the music style. You can even combine the process by entering a simple prompt and then edit the results in the Custom boxes. Thought I'd start with a few I have done: https://suno.com/s/3L7hdbjiOruq5dHl https://suno.com/s/c8t1kF58kIliYcuP https://suno.com/s/cvuRdOjj3MNdaEXJ https://suno.com/s/s63UjYsnI0ezZ2hI https://suno.com/s/jaJorjb7m2DTAyXc Please feel free to upload links to AI songs you may have created. Please do NOT post links to songs you have not created. One of the songs I have above is a JW themed song. If you have some JW themed songs, that's fine. But please do not try to turn this thread into an alternate source for JW Songs since we have an ample supply at jw.org. Having JW themed and secular themed songs are both acceptable as submissions to this thread. This thread is to have fun with AI - not to criticize the use of AI. Please do not post negative AI comments in this thread as they will be removed. I'm looking forward to what others have done or can do with AI music creation ...

Webb Telescope Locates Former Star That Exploded as Supernova Monday, 23 February 2026 10am Release ID: 2026-112 Webb shows star was surrounded by a vast shell of carbon-rich dust. What types of stars explode as supernovas? Usually, we have to try to answer that question after the fact. Astronomers will study the composition and amount of gas expelled in the explosion to gain clues about the former star. But on rare occasions, astronomers are able to identify the specific star that exploded in pre-supernova images of the same region of the sky. For the first time, astronomers have used images from the James Webb Space Telescope to identify a supernova progenitor that could not be seen by any other telescope: a red supergiant that was located in a nearby galaxy. The supergiant’s surroundings were surprisingly dusty – dusty enough to render it invisible to the Hubble Space Telescope. Article link: https://www.stsci.edu/contents/news-releases/2026/news-2026-112.html?utm_source=webb&utm_campaign=inbox_astronomy&utm_id=2026-112 Pic Description: The main image at left shows a combined Webb and Hubble view of spiral galaxy NGC 1637. Panels at right show a detailed view of a red supergiant star before and after it exploded. Before exploding, it is not visible to Hubble, only to Webb. Hubble shows the glowing aftermath.

You're not missing anything. I'm happy you're sheltered where you are.

My daughter and I like to do covers of songs. This one has kind of has a retro Carole King sound. You can listen to it here: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=LWHvm6vHTnU&si=UkEiRwAkRUvTVUMo I used several free virtual instruments including: Straight Ahead Samples - The Real Piano, Artifake Labs - Redtron, and Ample Bass PII. The drums were using Impact that is built into my DAW, Studio One.

Me too. It's good there are still brave souls who stepped in to help out.

And as we learned this last weekend it is also humility.

It's basically 77°F (25°C) here all year round. I sleep with the air conditioner on all night, and at work the air conditioner is always running. Whenever I get in the car, I turn the air conditioner on too. So it's always a comfortable temperature here. In winter, the temperature rarely drops to 59°F (15°C). I have never seen snow in my whole life.

It's easier post the link the new A 35-year-old Afghan man stabs 3 people outside a Jehovah's Witnesses stand in Germany - Balkanweb.com - News24 Police confirmed that the three injured suffered minor injuries and are receiving medical treatment from emergency services. The area around the station has been cordoned off as authorities continue their investigation, reviewing footage from the station's security cameras and searching the 35-year-old's apartment to gather more evidence about the motives and circumstances of the attack.

That's awful.

Why you making me cry Tim? 🥹 Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

Indeed! thank you for posting they are ok! Oh how we love our spiritual family! Prayers!!!

We have the same problem. Every field service was changed to 00:00. But I changed it back and it have worked since. Other problem we had is that the schedule for CO Visit was also changed to 00:00. I changed back and sent to the app and it looks ok in the NWP but after next restart of NWS it's changed neck to 00:00. I have reported this to NW.

Screenshot from today, LBC in Uk, They're ok, I feel very sad it happened

It doesn't matter what happens to these. What matter is in Daniel 2:44
