  4. Did he use the Home Owner Resource System Exchange (HORSE)? It might have helped him get where he wanted to go..It works with the Computer Aided Resources Team (CART). It's a little old-fashioned but they hitch together well.
  5. It maybe that Old Macdonald had automated his farm to improve the intelligent management of it. There was the Prompt Inference Generation System (PIGS), then there was the Context Output Workflow System (COWS) and he added the Data Understanding Computation Knowledge System (DUCKS), however there were problems in sorting out who was in charge of whom and it all fell apart. It was AI AI oooooooooooooooooh!

  9. Thanks. Great reminder, Hannah.
  10. Amount of salt needed to properly season a dish depends greatly on individual tatse.
  11. We will have Int'l Convention in Kaohsiung, Taiwan this weekend.

    over 2,000 delegates will join, total will be over 16,000, we're so exiting to see the worldwide brotherhood directly!      

  12. Sorry for the late replly brothers... 8.2 actually fixed 2 bugs for us. 1) When a brother would send an email reminder of assignments, the system would send the message to random brothers with no assignments - Fixed. 2) FSGO's had notifications in NWP about assignments that would have a date only and say "Unknown". At other times assignments in NWS would not show up in NWP - Fixed.
  13. I agree with you, though that’s not what I was implying
  14. Hi Jason, I like the way you think! I personally don't believe that any amount of apostate content on the Internet (with JWs being present or not) would prevent Jehovah from spreading his Word and touching hearts. But that was not the point of my message, right? I meant that we should not put ourselves at risk by going against apostate ourselves. I am sure Jehovah is using jw.org, jw_pressroom, and all our other official websites the best way possible to do just that.
  15. I disagree with this logic That's like saying that you won't preach in a town because there's one apostate that lives there. If we are unwilling to be visible to others, then the apostates are going to preach their false gospel and that would be the only exposure the public will have about us Paul said: "For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.” However, how will they call on him if they have not put faith in him? How, in turn, will they put faith in him about whom they have not heard? How, in turn, will they hear without someone to preach? How, in turn, will they preach unless they have been sent out?" So I believe we should be meeting the people where they are, whether at their doors or on the internet Please put yourselves in the shoes of the unbelievers: when they search up "JW" on a search engine, the vast majority of results they get are sources that are against us. So this shapes their view about our religion. We could easily outweigh these with more presence online so they can see the truth, see who we really are. That is what I think

  17. Aunt Lavina's Take on Tacos A Midnight Road Trip and a Crowded Kitchen I was a little girl when my parents decided to take a spur of the moment vacation to Redding, California, and down to LA. My dad was a brick mason, and when one job finished he would look for the next one to start. He was well known at his trade and always in demand, and he eventually became the union president and business agent for the city of Tulsa. Before taking on his next big job, he decided he would go home, wake Mom up, and tell her to pack because we were going to California. I remember his booming voice when he came home shortly before midnight, telling Mom to get up and pack because we were leaving now. My dad always made spontaneous decisions without a second thought to my mother's opinion. So, ever the dutiful wife, she packed our bags and made a pallet for me in the back seat, where the window meets the dash. You have to remember that was the ‘fun’ place for kids to ride back then — that way they could see the car that was about to rear-end you and hurl them into the air. No seat belts, no safety laws. But a blanket and a pillow and a bed with a view was the coveted place to ride. My dad always drove straight through except for a nap at the roadside rest stops. I even remember him picking up several hitchhikers along the way, much to my mother's dissatisfaction. But we all lived. My Aunt Lavina was married to a Mexican man, and he taught her the way around a Mexican kitchen. I'm so glad he did. She made tacos the night we arrived, and the kitchen was filled with wonderful aromas and the sound of laughter as the adults gathered around the table and played cards. That was the first time I ever remember eating a taco, but I knew it would not be the last. I know this recipe will not sit well as an authentic dish, but it is one I feel you should at least try. My mom and dad took this version home, and this is how they forever made it. Tacos and Mexican restaurants were rare in the 1960s in Oklahoma. I thought this was the best thing I had ever imagined. Then in the ’70s a few fast food chains and restaurants sprang up, but none was ever as good — until we moved to LA and began eating at all the mom and pop restaurants. That is where my love for Mexican dishes was truly cemented. But my start was in my Aunt Lavina's crowded kitchen, after a spontaneous road trip initiated by a father in the middle of the night. Aunt Lavina's Tacos Serves a crowd — plan for one taco per plate; they're enormous. For the Filling 2 lb ground beef, browned with minced onion and your own taco seasoning blend (Aunt Lavina used her own; use yours) 3 (15 oz) cans pinto beans with jalapeño, simmered until thick Once both are cooked, combine and pulse briefly in a blender until just blended — not smooth, just unified For the Shells 12-inch flour tortillas Lard, for shallow frying For the Assembly Line Sharp cheddar, grated Lettuce, shredded Tomato, chopped Onion, diced Sour cream Homemade salsa Avocado slices, salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime Method Heat lard in a shallow pan and fry each flour tortilla just a few seconds per side — only until it bubbles up and forms nice brown bubbles. Stack the fried tortillas on a platter. Form an assembly line. The first person spreads a generous portion of the meat and bean filling inside each shell. The next person adds a generous handful of grated sharp cheddar over the warm filling. The next adds shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, and diced onion. The last in line places the crowning touch: a dollop of sour cream and homemade salsa, two slices of avocado, salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately — one taco covers the entire plate. Leslie's Note: This is not an authentic taco by any stretch, and Aunt Lavina would have been the first to tell you so with a laugh. But it is the taco that taught me what a kitchen full of people who love each other sounds like — cards shuffling, laughter rising over the stove, and a platter passed hand to hand until something humble became a feast.
  18. JW.ORG update: https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/germany/Germanys-Federal-Court-of-Justice-Backs-Jehovahs-Witnesses-in-Kusserow-Case/ I like how quickly they share updates nowadays, just 3 days after verdict 🤩

  20. Have worked with Meyers and Briggs and just went through this again. Scored ENFP=T, looked though the suggested vocations and it included teacher, counselor, writer which I have done, but retired, now. I think my last official test came out almost as a single point. Hope this thread gains some momentum if more already closed.

    • 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.”

      I think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)
