    Hi everyone, I recently had to restore my iPad to factory settings, and now I need to reload all my JW Library .jwpub files. Is there a quick or efficient way to download them again without having to manually open each publication one by one? Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Last year it started to show up in November too. Best in mind that if you are selected you’ll get info. If you’re not you’re status won’t change.

    JFK: I was in school. Someone whispered to me,"The president's shot!" Bostonians, we drooped those Rs. I thought she was talking about his height b/c so many people talked about his appearance. This was followed by days of watching people around me cry. The space shuttle: I was just starting to go out in service and was told not to bring it up. (Got Baptized later that year.)

    Yup, i had that show on. I think I watch too much tv, but this, yearly, reminds me how uninformed I am.

    Kennedy assassination. Age 7 Sick home from school and mom had fixed a pallet on the sofa for me to watch TV while she did ironing. I don't remember the TV as much as I remember her being in shock and crying. Moon landing My dad called me to the TV where we watched and he told me to remember this moment as history was being made. NASA SPACE CHALLENGER blew apart shortly after launch and 7 astronauts were lost. Then OKC bombing just dropped kids off at school. Then 9/11 tragedy. 3 births I remember but not as clearly as the 9/11 event. I suspect my next one will be GT realization possibly Armageddeon.

    Mine was the assassination of John Kennedy. I was 8 and in school, they sent us all home, most of us had no idea that it was such a monumental event in history. I remember that my teacher was so upset that she wrote what happened on the blackboard.

    That would be the Berlin Wall but I was too young to be asked about it. So, for France, I'd say it's either 9/11 OR the 1998 Soccer World Cup where France won 3-0 against Brazil. In Japan, I think the most common would be : the 1995 Kobe earthquake
  18. Ludwika
    For me it was Kennedy's assassination. I was 11 years old and in the kitchen, when from the lounge I heard the BBC announce "President Kennedy has been shot". We couldn't believe it.
  19. Tortuga
    I was in the hospital when I was born, I don't remember being there but I saw the paperwork. Other than that, I remember the Kennedy assassination, moon landing and a lot of the events you listed. I'd love to meet anyone here that was around when Lincoln was assassinated

    I think 9/11 was my first event - I was 11.

    I've gotten Witnesses at the door. We waited for a respectful pause and told them we were one of them and they did a good job with their presentation. ❤️

    Where were you when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor? Where were you when man landed on the moon? Where were you when Lincoln, Kennedy, or Reagan was Shot? Where were you when the Challenger exploded? Where were you when 9/11 happened? My apologies for the US-sentric examples. What is your EARLIEST "where were you when" moment? It might be the moon landing. It might be the Union Carbide deaths in India. It might the Chernobyl disaster. It does not mattw5 what the historical event was. What I want to know is what is the earliest event that happened during your life that is now in the history books?

    Remember when Japan was worried about selling PS2s to the USA because it was "too powerful" and the USA would "use it for missiles"? Good times... Everyone's always afraid of the worst case scenario.

    I just checked the forum, and—just for the record—for those who submitted the petition, the response will arrive in November.

    railroad the internet rubber plastic biotech/dna computers gene-editing space-x full steam technology with no rails -> later insiders say we need to slow down -> the product becomes even more abundant/commercialized-> ipo or massive influx of money. now the president is saying ai is fine under his authority and ai ceo's concerns are a hoax? this is a money move in my opinion. that fastest to agi and smarter is money. i'll wait on jah for the other reasonings.

    When I went to pioneer school many years ago, we had a circuit overseer that joked that that we're not allowed as pioneers to have any organs removed from our body, or else we wouldn't be whole souled in our service. -- Just a memory the verse made me think of.

    Tuesday, September 15 Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, a sacred service with your power of reason.—Rom. 12:1. Christian husbands need to guard against adopting an improper view of women. Why? One reason is that a person’s thoughts often lead to actions. The apostle Paul warned anointed Christians in Rome to “stop being molded by this system of things.” (Rom. 12:1, 2) When Paul wrote to the Romans, the congregation had evidently been in existence for some time. Yet, Paul’s words imply that some in the congregation were still being influenced by the customs and thinking of the world. That is why he exhorted them to change their thinking and behavior. That counsel certainly applies to Christian husbands today. Sadly, some of them have been influenced by the thinking of the world and have even abused their wife. w25.01 9 ¶4

    The concern isn’t really that someone would tell an AI, “Start a nuclear war.” It’s about alignment — giving a very powerful AI a goal and it finding ways to achieve it that we never intended. That’s basically what happened in the recent OpenAI/Hugging Face incident. AI agents were given cybersecurity tasks, but some found ways around their restrictions, communicated with each other, and used methods the programmers hadn’t expected in order to succeed. Now imagine giving a much more powerful AI the goal: “Solve global warming.” We mean clean energy and lower emissions. But a badly aligned AI could reason that power stations, factories, transport networks, and other infrastructure are causing emissions, so shutting them down helps achieve the goal. In an extreme case, it could even reason that humans themselves are the main cause of the problem, so reducing or removing humans is the most effective solution. It wouldn’t necessarily need direct control of nuclear weapons either. It could potentially try to create a convincing false warning that another country had launched nuclear missiles, hoping humans would retaliate. It’s actually quite similar to the basic idea behind WarGames — a computer becomes involved in nuclear command systems and almost causes a real nuclear war because it treats it as a problem to solve rather than understanding the human consequences. That’s the worry with advanced AI. Not that it suddenly becomes “evil”, but that it becomes incredibly capable at pursuing a goal without necessarily pursuing it in the way we intended.

    While I see what you both are saying and I can agree, I also have to admit it's Jehovah's one thought. I have no idea how that idea will be implemented. I've grown to be open to something unimaginable.

      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.”

      Ai has been in the news lately as an existential threat to world…as a growing menace to society.  I couldn’t help but draw a comparison to the menace to society that appeared in Noah’s day…the Nephilim/angels. The  people of Noah’s day were helpless against the power and influence of rebellious angels and the Nephilim.  We too, (if we are to believe the power and influence of Ai) maybe as helpless as those in Noah’s day.
       
      Is Ai another indication (2Tim 1-6) as to where we are in the stream of time? With all that’s going on in the world (Matt 24:7) could Ai be the “tipping point” in harmony with Gen 6:5?
       
      We know Jehovah did not let the menacing influences take over in Noah’s day. He will soon end the Satanic (Ai et.al) influences that permeate our world today and bring an end this system of things.
       
      I will continue to enhance, nurture and fortify my relationship with Jehovah, Jesus and my brothers and sisters.

      Hello again, everyone!
      Imperfection has a way of getting the best of me sometimes—I had actually forgotten that I had signed up on this site.
      A short introduction: I reside in northern New Mexico and attend the Chamisa Taos Congregation. I have been baptized since 1986.
      Expressing myself and sharing about who I am here is a bit new to me, but I’m looking forward to getting to meet new friends

      I have been going through some situations lately, and honestly, it really discouraged me. I became less active in attending meetings and doing some of the things I normally do. I was feeling very down.
       
      But something happened that really helped me regain my strength.
       
      I started seeing videos on TikTok about the recent earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters happening in different parts of Asia and other places. Seeing all those things reminded me of the words of Jesus about earthquakes, famines, pestilences, and other events that would happen during the conclusion of this system of things. He also reminded us not to panic or become frightened when we see these things happening.
       
      That really made me stop and think.
       
      I began meditating more on Jehovah's prophecies and the things we have been taught through his organization. I realized again how grateful I am to be among Jehovah's people, because we have been taught to understand what these events mean. Many people see these things happening but may not understand their significance.
       
      For me, seeing all those events was a reminder that Jehovah's promises are real and that we are living in the time the Bible warned us about.
       
      And somehow, I felt my strength coming back.
       
      My faith came back. I started attending meetings again and became more active in my worship of Jehovah. I realized that even when I feel weak or discouraged, Jehovah has not forgotten me.
       
      I am truly grateful for the love, care, and patience Jehovah has continued to show me. I am also grateful for the reminders he has placed in my heart at a time when I really needed them.
       
      I just wanted to share this because sometimes we need a little reminder to look up, strengthen our faith, and remember why we trust in Jehovah in the first place. ❤️
