Wednesday, July 1 I have not seen anyone righteous abandoned.—Ps. 37:25. Some of Jehovah’s servants are feeling the effects of old age, struggling with poor health, or living with a disability. That may cause them to feel uncertain of their worth in Jehovah’s eyes. They may ask, ‘Am I still useful to Jehovah?’ The writer of Psalm 71 expressed a similar concern. He prayed: “Do not abandon me when my strength fails.” (Ps. 71:9, 18) Nevertheless, the psalmist remained convinced that if he served his God loyally, Jehovah would guide and support him. As the psalmist learned, Jehovah finds pleasure in those who do their best to serve Him despite their limitations. (Ps. 37:23-25) Older ones, see your situation from Jehovah’s viewpoint. He can help you to thrive spiritually even though you may be struggling physically. (Ps. 92:12-15) Rather than focus on what you are no longer able to do, concentrate on what you can do. w24.10 28 ¶14-16

Yup, I had that as Treasures 2 weeks ago.

@Romain @Jim Jam Just responding to both of yall here since i was also part of the original topic. The original post/comment i was responding to was that JWs that aren't on social media should come on social media to outnumber the apopstates. I responded with, no, let them have their peace. Romain agreed with this sentiment Jim Jam says that we shouldnt avoid the internet because there are apostates here. I agree with this, HOWEVER (And to follow up with what Romain responded with), there are already TONS of us on social media, and I have found out that the second someone finds out you're a JW it becomes a blood bath. You're attacked on all sides, and with the internet being a screen and there's no physical eye to eye with it, people will be more aggressive and more hurtful than they probably would be if you were just doing carts or going door to door. I have tried talking to other people on social media with mixed results (I actually have a friend in Nigeria that's been going to the meetings). However, we shouldn't be actively searching out apostates. We may not have the correct approach for some people (Similarly to the watchtower that we just did. Different approaches need to be used for different people, and we won't know what will reach someone's heart until we you know get to possibly know them a bit more. And in a group of five online apostates your regular approach may reach one of them, but the other four are still gonna be aggressive). People are going to talk crap about us regardless, but people who arent already online shouldn't run online to find the naysayers. However, if they want to go online to try to find an online JW community then that's cool too, but they should also realize that it's pretty brutal. Just because someone can't physically harass you doesn't mean there arent other ways to tear you down. A little side note, when I do see discourse online and if i catch a JW in the wild (either by them announcing it, or if i have suspicions, i ask them if Matthew 5:3 means anything to them) i do try to help them out if they are getting outnumbered, or if anything make a new friend. I hope this makes sense....

“Ark of the Covenant mystery blown wide open as 'biblical relic' is discovered” (Nothing actually “blown wide open”. 🙄) https://apple.news/As0ECFxOLSmukIk4DisPXtQ But we were recently reminded about what happened at Shiloh at Jer 7:12

AI consistently hallucinates when i ask it for plot points in an existing story or to find a poem I can barely remember. It completely made up storylines and authors. If you think of AI like an improv actor trying to keep the scene going, it makes a lot more sense. It's trying to keep you engaged, not educated.

Fantastic! I've been waiting for this. In previous trials, the courts decided that "a member of the family" had sold the archive to the Bundeswehr Military History Museum. That family member was not in the truth, but I don't know if he was aware of what was written in the will. Either way, the previous courts thought that the sale authorized by the family member was done "in good faith," and so should be left with the Museum. It should be obvious what was wrong with that decision. Sister Kusserow's will should take absolute precedence over any other thoughts or arrangements made by others in the family, whether they were done in good faith or not. Hopefully, this latest decision will put the matter to rest.

Not Diana Ross, BTW. The Supreme Court of the United States. Many decisions handed down today, some good and some terrifying. First, the good: they upheld what is known as birthright citizenship (i.e., if you are born in the USA you have the rights of any citizen). The margin was 5-4 Wow. Four Justices (judges) literally voted to state that when a republican is president, they outrank the actual, literal text of the Constitution. So the Constitution is..unconstitutional. Wow. Justice Clarence Thomas dissented. This is what he is disagreeing with: Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Now for the terrifying part. Just reading part of the dissenting opinion on this case... the main reason for that dissent from Uncle Thomas was that "under the common law, "citizenship turns on allegiance." This means to him and the other two judges being born here isn't enough. People must swear an oath of allegiance to... something... as well. Interestingly such oaths, affirmations or promises are often not legally binding until the person is at least 18 years of age. An oath of allegiance. Not a pledge, an oath. Where have I seen this before?

Our Substitute CO has requested access to NWP. Is the only way to do that is to replace him as the CO or is there an ability to make it accessible to the substitue? Thank you! I provided him with: Congregation ID Congregation PIN CO Person PIN Is that all that is needed?

"Hmmmm...."

I know some people said about Wikipedia the same things they say about AI - that it can't be trusted because there are errors in some of the information. I have not had the issues of AI giving me ALL wrong information or constant hallucinations. I have found that AI works fine when used correctly. Often it comes down to phrasing the question/prompt correctly. Of course, I am not relying on AI for legal advice, medical advice or ways to get around legal restrictions. When I have used AI to find out how to fix an issue with my vehicle it has given me reliable information and directed me to the appropriate places for videos, parts and/or diagnostics. Likewise, when I ask Alexa to turn on/off certain lights, it always gets the right ones. My 'problem' with AI is the number of people who seem to view it as a companion, comforter, or otherwise actually as an 'intelligent' thing. The AI we have now is basically a massive 'search engine on steroids'. In other words, it is a tool. Like any other tool, there is the potential for misuse or misunderstanding of how that tool should be used.

I like to use different models to cross-check. Recently, I have asked Gemini to provide quotations from specific scholars on a specific subject, I also asked it to take extra care not to hallucinate and double check everything. After that, I pasted the quotations it generated into Claude and asked to check if they exist, here’s what I got (in part): „This is a particularly insidious type of AI error — a fictional quote attributed to a real, existing author who actually works in this field. The content sounds academic and isn't substantively absurd, which makes the falsehood harder to catch without verification. Gemini generated a fake quote and a fake English original — even after an explicit instruction not to hallucinate. This is an important observation, as it reveals a serious limitation of AI models, including "thinking" models”

AI is worse than a google search because it hallucinates answers. Always ask for sources.

Usually my public witnessing location has a routine honking political protest. So being able to show our neutral stance, when asked has been good! As they're passing out their social media literature, I can tell the protesters about our pressroom account. The Nazi Germany post has been positive! Also, an ex-believer is sometimes in the mix of the group and has told them things about us. We hear it and they say it. Do you know when she's not there, they ask about our "current" beliefs? So don't worry about ex-believers! Let the angels direct the right-hearted people. Jehovah knows who belongs to him, he knows where the gold is among the soot.

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.

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!

Tatse is a creature of unknow origin who enjoys delicate dishes

Thanks. Great reminder, Hannah.

Amount of salt needed to properly season a dish depends greatly on individual tatse.
