  1. Past hour
  2. The only sign that im looking is when the nations give their power to the UN.. otherwise, expectation postponed makes the heart sick.
  3. i dare to write the following with pen and paper.....an almost forgotten skill that cannot easily be fraudulently stolen or twisted to suite a sinister change. Very few people will take the time to read it since it requires the laborious action of unfolding paper...but thats ok......that what i want.....a writing only valued by old people from a time long ago.
  4. New poem: I must clean my house and car very soon,
  5. New story. A man sat down with a pen and paper wondering what kind of story he could start for a post on jwtalk which he thought about for a while and then he writes ----
  6. That's good because wondering what to do to get the money a nice man walking by hands them a hundred dollars.
  7. Some sources say it could face liquidity as early as July... https://betterworldcampaign.org/budget/the-secretary-general-is-underscoring-the-uns-financial-crisis-we-look-between-the-lines 🍿
  8. Today
  9. I'm really looking forward to reading this one as well. Is there an estimated time when it will be available?
  10. Tuesday, June 2 A kind man benefits himself, but the cruel person brings trouble on himself.—Prov. 11:17. We cannot control what others say or do to us, but we can try to control our response. And often the best response is to forgive. Why? Because we love Jehovah, and he wants us to be forgiving. If we remain angry and do not forgive, we are likely to act foolishly and perhaps suffer physically. (Prov. 14:17, 29, 30) When we let go of resentment, we prevent our heart from becoming damaged by bitterness. We also give ourselves a gift—we can start to move on and enjoy our life once again. How can you overcome hurt feelings? One way is by giving yourself time to heal. After receiving medical care, a person who has been severely injured needs time to heal physically. In a similar way, we may need time to heal emotionally before we are ready to forgive someone from the heart. (Eccl. 3:3; 1 Pet. 1:22) Pray, asking Jehovah to help you to be forgiving. w25.02 16-17 ¶8-11
  11. "souse" figuratively, is often used as slang to describe someone who is thoroughly "soaked" in alcohol. I used that word in the only rhyming piece of a book I wrote. Previously, I had that book's text available here, as an attachment on talk net. If I get the PDF from an older computer, I might attach it, again b/c I have been asked about it. "Souse in the House" There's a souse that lives in our house; it's hard to know which one Sometimes it's our Dad, sometimes it's our Mum. Grandpa has a hangover; Grandma's fond of tippling. Growing up in our house could produce emotional crippling. Uncle is a pedophile, Auntie keeps denying Makes up lies and testifies 'gainst every kid he's eyeing. Childhood's a battlefield; the grownups are all keyed up' Young ones acting up beat, when all of us were beat up. A Matchstick Girl once lived there, although the shrapnel knicked her She made the choice and found the voice From victimized to Victor.
  12. No, unfortunately. I didn’t ask because I called to provide feedback and details to the current situation outside of their circle.
  13. Pop, as in corn, used to be consumed on the cob, after popping; wonder who thought to remove the uncooked kernels first.
  14. I was in a call with the Office of Public Information and the team handling the social media accounts are completely aware of such fake accounts and are working on it. They are also evaluating about bringing back the verified badge again. However, we will only know the result based on what we are seeing on the social media accounts within the next several days or weeks. For us, we just need to make sure we post correct information in this topic. Because search engines and AI searches are using our comments from this topic as their source of information. Instagram has the authority to evaluate each account and can remove a verified badge if it determines that further review is needed. If everything is verified again, the checkmark may return. Another possibility is that the OPI social media team adjusted something on the account, such as the profile details or links, which may have placed the badge on hold while Instagram reviews the changes. Once Instagram verifies the account updates, the verified checkmark may return.
  15. Perhaps they will after the announcement has been read in congregations in all the time zones
  16. Why don’t they post links to the correct accounts on JW.org 🤔 seems like it would solve a whole lot…
  17. Popular, though the root of the terminology when it comes to music, should not be confused with 'pop'
  18. I read that the Kennedy family took elocution lessons to pronounce the way they do (or did.)
  19. I intend to listen on Qapla's next zoom-chat to see if the New England accent is observable. I have read that the Boston accent is dying off. Sigh! I don't think I express it much anymore, but my late husband held on to his accent. I used to have to translate for him after he ordered at restaurants. Actors who tried to duplicate that nuance never sounded authentic, to me. Nobody ever spoke like the Kennedys did, imo.
  20. Vermont has had a strong French influence from Quebec, Canada, but the French language is no longer strong there. Maine, where I lived for about 20 years, has the most French language in use.
  21. I just heard the announcement about the organization's new official accounts on the social media platforms Instagram and TikTok at the English Congregation of Barcelona.
  22. Its said that the U.N. is going to run out of money by mid-August since the U.S. has stopped funding it. I wonder what will occur that will make them empower the U.N. and not let it die...the time is certainly nearer than ever before.
  23. It is among six US states that were once considered a separate nation or republic.
  24. Phrases can be definitive, like an adverbial phrase, or simply a group of words that may or may not become popular.

    • 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.”

      There were many JW artists I followed on Instagram, they created beautiful Christian illustrations. But for some reason many deleted their accounts out of the blue, no trace left.
       
      I don't know why and it makes me very sad

      Is jw_pressroom on IG legit? Friends I know are liking a post on and following it. There is nothing officially on our Press Room page nor is it in our News page or a headline about it. I’m treating as junk but does anyone have details?

      It's time for me to take a break from JWTalk for just a bit. We have our Regional Convention starting tomorrow! For those of us confined to watching the convention on a screen (rather than in person), at least they give us a choice of watching the recorded version from the US, or the live streamed version of our own convention (with the local brothers doing the parts). Because of the convention, I likely won't have time to peek in here at all.
       
      So, enjoy the weekend everyone!

      Carlos, I don’t think that is correct. I read a lengthy post on this forum from a brother who stated that he was one of the developers. It would be great if the devs would identify themselves in the forum.

      I was just talking to a brother whose son is in video services in the US. They are reducing staff and even discussing downsizing Ramapo - because they are able to use AI for so much of the artwork and videos.
       
      He was telling me that what used to take weeks is now taking days and with only a few people instead of a large staff. More and more are getting sent back into the field. They are even able reduce the number of people needed for acting out scenes. That is a lot of donated funds saved and more workers for the field. It won't surprise me if we see an update soon describing all the ways the GB has approved for AI usage.
       
      I know they will always have humans to review, edit and approve the final product; but most of our pictures and videos will be at least partially if not fully AI generated.
