Another issue with Scheduler since the 8.1 update, is that every time I open it there is "Public Speaker Congregations" data to send. Anyone else get this?

This is not true. I have NWP installed on my phone and tablet, and use both regularly. And yet still receive the reminder to submit my report. Others are getting the same. And to say there is nothing they can do about it. Write better code!

Apples... For me, 7500+ varieties of apples. I see Jehovah love in this single food creation.

This came out last year. (Re 17:16, 17 w25.11 31 and this year too, declaration of “peace and security” (1Th 5:3) may come before or after destruction of false religion: w26.02 30-31

Is it possible that there will be a new understanding regarding the United Nations? For example, could there be a new understanding of how the UN will destroy Babylon the Great? Could there also be a change in the understanding that all the nations will give their power to the UN? I have been thinking a lot about this subject and, while deeply respecting the current understanding, I believe this will be something truly impressive. Only Jehovah himself can make all of this happen, because from a human standpoint, it seems impossible. I am eagerly looking forward to all these events and can hardly wait to see them unfold.

I was talking about the 1960s. Today it is completely different.

Feeling very spiritually full. And literally full--we got pizza after the convention. We had 1,508 for the morning session and 1,462 for the afternoon. We had eight baptized (five sisters, three brothers) including a young sister from my congregation, Mikayla. So much good spiritual food. Avoid having "buyer's remorse" when considering the sacrifices you made for Jehovah when you came into the truth. How to worship Jehovah with "spirit" and "truth" and what each means.

Taj Mahal looked to be ahead in the Preakness but was outrun by Napolean Solo (male trainer). Cherie DeVaux made history at the 2026 Kentucky Derby by becoming the first female trainer to win. Just found out I have an assignment this week's MWM, whch is Tuesday instead of Thurs due to CO visit. My part is assistant; praying for the sister who has the regular assignment. Haven't seen her work, yet. Best wishes to all who are preparing for this week's meetings.

At least 2 friends in my congregation is getting this. Its always something.

Yes, there are lots of wolves out there. This community is very different from Facebook in the sense that, instead of posting just one pic or some brief text, here you are able to have more extensive discussions and get to know others better. While no site on the internet that allows discussion is completely immune to apostates, they are quickly identified and removed here, most times before anyone other than the mods are able to see anything they post.

This retired horsewoman is watching the Preakness and fascinated, as always, by Jehovah's incredible works of nature.

Sunday, May 17 God saw everything he had made, and look! it was very good.—Gen. 1:31. Parents, encourage your child to think about the natural world. While you are walking in the countryside or gardening, draw your child’s attention to the intriguing patterns that can be seen in nature. Why? These patterns give evidence of intelligence and wise design. Spiral patterns, for instance, have been studied by scientists for many years. Biophysicist Nicola Fameli explains that when you count the number of spirals found in nature, you discover a certain series of numbers. These make up what is called the Fibonacci sequence. Spiral patterns can be observed in many things, such as the shape of some galaxies, the pattern of nautilus shells, the leaves of plants, and the head of sunflowers. w24.12 16 ¶7

The success of this Forum depends on members reporting to the mods anything out of line with the GB.

Here's a little reggae someone sent me .... really free ... KnockKnock.mp3

I was hesitant to join as I've had bad experiences in the past. Nothing really happened but I had joined a FaceBook group called "Jehovah Witnesses" Personally not a fan of FaceBook but I thought I would try it out. It wasnt hard to find that the mods were posting in anti witness groups and bragging how they were misleading newer ones in their group. Not really thinking I took screenshots and posted on their page. Of course they deleted and blocked me. If I was smart I would have just DM people on the site but that is why we are warned. I havent tried another group till this one.

Ill admit i did not read through all the pages in this post. However if your body does not produce insulin, you will probably need some replacement. If your body makes insulin but it does not move into your cells then you can try to control without insulin. Its a difficult illness but not impossible. Hopefully goes well for you. Diet and exercise work good for any illness

So curious if anyone has seen this. I am updated in both Scheduler and Publisher. The option to select 'Hospitality' is gone? we have been using this feature for a year now. I unchecked that option in App settings. Additionally, the PT entries have the hospitality option checked. Re-checked the settings option, added a different mail and still no joy. Any ideas on the fix?

I'm very sorry to hear that happened to her. Still, the same methods mentioned in reversing T2D are also very effective in managing T1D and allowing such ones to live a much happier and long life. T1D is quite rare in comparison to T2D. I did miss the sentence where the AI mentions reversing T2D specifically, though it started off in a way that confused me as it wasn't relevant to the thread's focus of T2D. I understand that not all autoimmune conditions can be reversed over time even when maintaining strict habits due to significant organ damage, I live with some myself that would come back if I returned to my old diet. I mentioned one case of T1D, but there are now many such individuals keeping their T1D under control with very low levels of exogenous insulin and non-diabetic blood levels. Here is what another AI references about managing it specifically with the same methods many have shared regarding T2D, along with the case report for the second: "Long-Term (10-Year) Ketogenic Diet Study: A notable case report followed a patient with T1D who adhered to a strict ketogenic diet (\le50\text{ g} of carbohydrates per day) for 10 years (Koutnik et al., 2024). The patient achieved exceptional glycemic control with an HbA1c of 5.5% and a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) time-in-range of 90%, all while experiencing a 43% reduction in daily insulin requirements. Crucially, the 10-year follow-up showed no adverse effects on kidney function, thyroid function, or bone mineral density, though LDL cholesterol did increase (Koutnik et al., 2024)." (as I've mentioned, studies now show that a proper ketogenic diet is cardio-protective and the high LDL has no merit on atherosclerosis over time) "Adult Management Case: Another case report followed a male in his 20s who slowly tapered down to a strict ketogenic diet (Gardemann et al., 2023). His diabetes biomarkers improved to the point of hitting the official non-diabetic range, his overall quality of life improved, and his total daily insulin requirements dropped significantly by 70%." Here is the second's case study: https://edm.bioscientifica.com/downloadpdf/view/journals/edm/2023/3/EDM23-0008.pdf Note some of the very positive benefits and absence of adverse events that can be maintained in spite of T1D if you stick with it: "It could even be argued that the patient is less prone to the dangers of diabetic ketoacidosis as his low glycemic variability stops blood sugar levels exceeding certain values, while diabetics following the standard approach show higher glycemic variability (Fig. 5). During the reported timeframe, the patient did not suffer from any acute illness. During the follow-up period, there was not a single incidence of severe hypoglycemia which has remained till today. There was also no incidence of ketoacidosis. Arguably, the most important change seen from this treatment was the significant increase in the quality of life of the patient. Due to the extreme reduction of blood glucose fluctuations and reduced HbA1c values, the patient reported more energy, clearer thought, the ability to focus better, decreased hunger urgency and the overall feeling of greater safety and security in the management of his disease. We have to keep in mind that such a diet needs to be followed for the rest of the patient’s life in order to achieve that tight glycemic control. Transitioning to a ketogenic diet may initially appear to be limiting from the outsider’s perspective but once the dietary commitment is consistently adhered to, people report high levels of satisfaction and satiety from protein and fat-focused meals. People following a ketogenic diet need to plan their meals when eating outside of the home. The beginning of this diet seems to be especially difficult for most people as they experience carbohydrate withdrawal and tend to crave sweets and carbohydrates."

Deep Thoughts indeed.. You're a deeeeep thinker...

Remember the NASA space project Voyager (VGER for Star Trek fans) launched 49 years ago and still going? Problem isn’t so much the craft, but the fact that the original personnel are all gone and the vastly inferior computing at that time. interesting article relating current dilemmas: NASA Still Maintains Some of Voyager Spacecraft Code

is it working to reduce chocolate intake. they are gooey too

I noticed an 'undocumented feature' last night. The KH Cleaning assignments are posted several months in advance and they are not in order in the Duties section. Some of the assignments for this month are at the bottom of the list with the assignments for later in the year. The KH Cleaning assignments are for the individual meeting date but they are still showing up as Week assignments in the description of the assignment.

James, NWP devs are not members here nor read this forum. They will never know all you have posted unless you file a ticket by means of their support system. Complaining here is ok, but it won't solve anything.
