    Since learning the Truth some 40 years ago I have always been bewildered and dumbfounded by the extreme efforts in the search for extraterrestrial life. Disclaimer: I used AI to help put my thoughts and feelings into words... Humanity spends billions of dollars scanning the cosmos for any sign of intelligent life beyond our planet, operating on the conviction that the universe is too vast for us to be alone. And yet, by their own definition, Jehovah God and the angels are exactly that: highly intelligent beings who exist outside of our world, who have communicated with humanity, and whose communication is preserved in the most widely distributed book in human history. The Bible is, by any honest definition, a message from extraterrestrial intelligence. And yet it is completely and utterly discounted by those who dedicate their life to searching for exactly what it contains. So here is the irony: the very people devoted to finding a signal from beyond Earth have one in their hands (or at least on their bookshelf), and they dismiss it without serious examination. Perhaps the real issue is not a lack of evidence. Could it be that a radio signal from a distant galaxy requires nothing from us, while the message we already have requires everything?

    Way too much grammar was injured getting us from “were” to “where” to “Will” and back again.

  7. Áine
    Friday, May 8 The heart of the wise one gives his mouth insight and adds persuasiveness to his speech.—Prov. 16:23. To be more effective as a teacher, brothers, base your public teaching and private counsel on God’s Word. Be a good student of the Bible and of our publications. (Prov. 15:28) As you study, take careful note of the proper application of the Scriptures. And when teaching, try hard to reach the heart of those in your audience. You can improve as a teacher if you ask for and apply suggestions from experienced elders. (1 Tim. 5:17) Elders need to be able to encourage their brothers and sisters; however, elders must at times counsel or even reprove them. In either case, elders must always be kind. If you are gentle and loving and you base your teaching on God’s Word, you will be effective because you will be imitating the Great Teacher, Jesu

    If they are all 1 hour videos, I suspect we will only get 2 per year. We got 3 this year but Episode 5 is only about 30 minutes. I only hope that I will see them all in my lifetime and that's going to take some doing.

    Alessandro that makes me so happy to hear. That's exactly why I wanted to make it that. Plus I use it two or three times a week as well. I'm so glad that it's actually helping someone. As for your question You can just use the web browser on your Mac or PC is fully built into your local web browser. Anything that can run the web browser should be able to run it. I even have a very limited web browser on a e-ink display device that still can run it as well. If you mean a dedicated offline program then there are other people here that I have learned that have made Linux Based systems. But as I wanted the versatility of being able to do this while in the car heading towards the Kingdom Hall with my phone and my tablet or whatever device that I studied on And also due to me not owning any kind of PC anymore and I think I'll be working on a operating system-based program. I personally don't really see any benefit. Ifyou are in a place where internet can be patchy sometimes or perhaps you don't have access to internet all the time. You can just save the HTML page as a file and run it like you would a program. I'm basically any offering system. As no information or files is ever sent to a server and it's all handled with the local memory of your browser. There's actually no need for internet once you have the HTML saved. I hope you continue to enjoy using it and please send me any suggestions or bugs Agape

  18. Pastore72
    Hi, my name is Alessandro. I tried your program and I really like it. I find it very useful for studying on my phone when I'm going to work and on my tablet at home. Being able to merge my saves is great. I'm wondering if there's a version for Mac or PC coming soon? Thanks.

    I took a brief moment to do a basic search also. The original announcement in the 2020 Annual Meeting did not state any particular time frame. The annual meeting segment is on our video presentation (JW.ORG). I have two updates that did not contain any times either but I am listing them because I do not want to lose them. I will continue the search at your request but it will take time. I have already searched through all of 2019 videos and publications before I discovered it started in 2020. There are a lot of publications and videos to look through (could even be letters to the elders). If this is not really important to you, I will stop. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/VODPgmEvtAnnMtg/pub-jwb-097_7_VIDEO https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/VODPgmEvtAnnMtg/pub-jwb_202102_5_VIDEO
  20. Kodi started following Jacob Collier - amazing improvisation with an orchestra
  21. Kodi
    Yeah, he’s on another level. The musicians also brought their A-game to make this so good in one take. Incidentally, the lady in red, the orchestra’s conductor, is his mom.
  22. Shawnster
    Will other news agencies corroborate the Daily Mail? Or is The Mail the only news outlet to scoop this news?
  23. Tortuga
    Some people have speculated that some governments push the Alien UFO theory to hide their own spy aircraft. "Don't blame us for flying in your airspace, it was an alien ship, look, we have proof"
  24. Barbllm
    When do we get our lightsabers?
  25. Barbllm
    Oh great. Brunswick, GA, area woman was on cruise ship exposed to Hantavirus At least we have the CDC here in Atlanta, even if it's been mostly gutted.
  26. chuck83
    So, will other governments chime in with their proof and/or truth? Because it seems kind of absurd and like propaganda if only one country is pushing this out. There is more to this world than the one democracy.

    If there are aliens, they are aliens for a reason... I wish that all would appreciate what we have most of the time because the effort of exploring for aliens will never be worth it at all. If there is something out there, like spirits or small bacteria as aliens, they will not be great souvenirs that serve us a good purpose but instead might bring something like illnesses and competition. We already have our own planet with an abundance of wonderful creations revealing God's purpose. We don't have to put in extra effort to leave here to find love, he brought it to us and protects us from the worst of the rays of the sun and other extremities. Showing appreciation, awareness and taking care of planet Jehovah gave us will always be the best as Jehovah is a God of organization! I truly believe calling or bringing back things that were not sent by God to be on this earth will lead to tragedy if there is a time period where other-worldly exploration happens. Sorry, I'm just rambling on a little bit because people rather look at other things to dominate instead of looking and maintaining what is our responsibility. (The Earth)

    Actually my husband is the gardener. I am not good with plants and I call myself the “Medusa” of the plant world. Of course there are the must have of several types of tomatoes. Lots of different peppers, such as,banana, arbol, ancho, jalapenos, bell peppers, potatoes, onions, cabbage and I forget what else. The hot peppers he dehydrates and grinds them for homemade spices and sauces . The cabbages he makes into sauerkraut. Onions are fermented He also cans some of the peppers. He learned gardening and canning from his Mom. The fencing is being replaced and will be going up next week along with the irrigation. yummm looking forward to harvesting.

      jwhess posted a post in a topic,

      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.”

      My dear, dear brother. You may be physically alone. But you are not alone. Of course you have Jehovah and his invisible family, all there. Then, us in our pitiful state, are here too. Loving you, and praying for you and you dear Cate. 
      Praying for you both dear ones. 
      The best is yet to come, and, yes, just around the corner. 
      In the meantime, Jehovah will see to the two of you. This I know.
      With much love, your sister, Bea

      Are allergies on the rise (more so than just "being the season" for them)?  🤔
       
      My grandma of 81 years was complaining yesterday about having to deal with allergies, despite it never really being a thing for her before.

      Even in my own circumstances, I find myself using my albuterol inhaler and nearly having asthma attacks, despite growing out of that many years ago.  Now it's back...  😔

      My spiritual routine is… sorely lacking order…
       
      My list of personal study projects only keeps growing, and it seems I cannot finish even one. I am absolutely terrible at study. My brain just doesn’t seem to “go off,” but at the same time, nothing ever gets accomplished 😵‍💫
       
      Like now—I found a JW-friendly app (Personal Bible Trainer). I chose to read the Bible from scratch, both the Old and New Testament, and it gives a challenge, goal, or thought to focus on with the chapters (or part of a chapter) you’re reading. I also decided to highlight my Bible while I’m at it so I know for sure I read the chapters. Then I remembered I had started writing down the characters mentioned, so I don’t forget who was in the chapter, when, where, and in what order. And then there’s the daily text and weekly meeting study… it’s just all horror!
       
      Just from this, you can probably see my mind is absolute chaos 🤯 My brain feels like a bag filled with water—but full of holes.
       
      I’ve cut back on work due to my health slowly deteriorating. Now I’m only working 2 days a week instead of 4. I stopped going out in field service and have been asking others not to invite me because I keep having to cancel last minute due to my mystery illness/condition.
       
      Now I really need ideas that might help plug these holes—so I can actually retain information and build a study routine that works for me. I can’t even remember how I was able to handle so many subjects back in my school days 😮‍💨
       
      I know most brothers and sisters have families, strong spiritual routines, and goals that help them stay focused on spreading the good news of the Kingdom. Being in the truth by myself, I’m doing everything solo. And over the years—with moving to an actual home, changing congregations, and now my health failing at this age… anything I once had in mind spiritually (like learning a new language, LDC, or working on projects like Ramapo) is gone, and my zeal has almost fizzled out.
       
      I had some shepherding calls after isolating myself for so long and not attending meetings for a few months. The elders reminded me that there are people who care about me, even when life gets in the way—and that isolation won’t help. And they’re right… it doesn’t.
       
      The only thing that kept me going—then and even now—are Jesus’ words and Peter’s response after many stopped following him:
       
      “So Jesus said to the Twelve: ‘You do not want to go also, do you?’ Simon Peter answered him: ‘Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life. We have believed and have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.’” — John 6:67–69
       
      Right now, I’m just trying to focus on getting my mind back into studying properly and maybe having a good comment at the meetings again.
       
      Any advice you may have that could help—I would really appreciate it. Otherwise, please just keep me in your prayers. 🙏🏼
