  1. Past hour
  2. I apologize. My words seem to be a bit blunt at times. My intention was never to make you feel dumb, stupid, or lesser than. May you go in peace
  3. Daniel has shifted several times in how we understand it. I kind of defer to revelation and Jesus teachings. I'm still waiting for "anguish of nations not knowing the way out."
  4. Today
  5. Instead of bullying me with this smart question you could have used of some kindness and ask instead: “ Sofia: you mean US-Uk Anglo power, not just US , right?” and I would humbly has answered: oh you are right brother Shawn. My mistake. I meant exactly that. my apologies to all here”. Now excuse I’m leaving this topic.
  6. Yesterday
  7. Hmm...... Be inteteresting to see how that goes......... Robot cooking.mkv
  8. My internetion was never to make you feel dumb. You made a statement that the Bible says the power of the Anglo-American World Power would shift to the United States. I did not recall where that was. I looked in the Daniel Book, which is the most recent information on the topic, and did not find any reference to this shift of power. So, yes, I would like to know if I missed the reference.
  9. That these prophecies show that us-uk are the 7th world power ? the dominant world power in the world during the last days until Armageddon? Are you actually asking me to bring a watchtower link for that information? that everyone knows? Really? This is making me looking dumb and redundant I know when I’m not wanted This is my last post here I’m quiting this topic.
  10. …yet. Keep an eye on Qatar and UAE next few days. Something serious happened a few hours ago that may shift their stand
  11. Hubble Unexpectedly Catches Comet Breaking Up Wednesday 18 March 2026 10:00am Release ID: 2026-010 Researchers’ long-sought experiment happened serendipitously. When scientists recently trained the Hubble Space Telescope on a comet, they got much more of a show than they expected—the comet was crumbling before their eyes! Comet K1, whose full name is Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), had just passed its closest approach to the Sun and was heading out of the solar system. Though it had been intact just days before, K1 fragmented into at least four pieces while Hubble was watching. The odds of that happening while Hubble viewed the comet are extraordinarily low. Each piece looked like a tiny comet, with a fuzzy envelope of gas and dust surrounding it. From its perch in space, Hubble clearly resolved the fragments, though from the ground they appeared only as barely distinguishable blobs. ...a happy twist of fate.... Article link: https://www.stsci.edu/contents/news-releases/2026/news-2026-010.html?utm_source=hubble&utm_campaign=inbox_astronomy&utm_id=2026-010 4 min video explanation: Pic Description: This series of images from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope of the fragmenting comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) was taken over the course of three consecutive days: Nov. 8, 9, and 10, 2025. This is the first time Hubble has witnessed a comet so early in the process of breaking up. Image: NASA, ESA, Dennis Bodewits (AU); Image Processing: Joseph DePasquale (STScI) Flight path is also illustrated.
  12. Saudi Arabia is an Islamic State ( the Quran and the Sunnah serve as the national constitution. The legal system is Sharia) Qatar, UAE and Iraq declare Islam as the State religion. Iran is bombing all of them, and attempting to bomb Turkey. Yet these sovereign nations aren't retaliating ? Is Iran trying to force them into the conflict, but as an ally against the infidel ? It's very complicated.
  13. Do you have any Watchtower reference to support your understanding of these prophecies?
  14. Thursday, March 19 Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. In turn, whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly show myself to him.—John 14:21. As you study, look for ways to put what you learn into practice. For example, imitate Jehovah’s justice by treating others impartially. Imitate Jesus’ love for his Father and for others by being willing to suffer for Jehovah’s name and by expending yourself in behalf of your fellow Christians. Also, imitate Jesus by witnessing to others so that they too have the opportunity to accept Jehovah’s priceless gift. The more we understand and appreciate the ransom, the more we will love Jehovah and his Son. In turn, they will respond with increased love for us. (Jas. 4:8) So let us use Jehovah’s provisions to keep learning about the ransom. w25.01 25 ¶16-17
  15. We've figured out this issue. For some reason, our database lost its information about which publishers form family groups. Without those associations intact, Family territories don't work.
  16. That’s a fair point and I completely agree that building solid software takes time and real engineering effort. I’ve actually been working on Baruch for over 2 years now. From the start, I approached it as a greenfield project to rethink the problem space instead of extending an existing model. Another factor is that the environment has changed significantly. Today you’re not just targeting a single desktop, but also tablets, mobile devices, and multiple platforms. That shift alone requires a different application architecture from the ground up. Architecturally, it’s designed as a distributed system, using patterns like DDD, CQRS, and event sourcing. This helps separate concerns, keeps the domain model clean, and makes synchronization more predictable and scalable especially in an offline-first, sync-driven environment. From what I understand, NWS started as a single desktop application and later evolved into a sharing model. That introduces certain constraints and technical debt that are hard to overcome without a fundamental redesign. With Baruch, the idea is to build with those lessons in mind from day one, rather than retrofitting them later. I see Baruch not as a replacement, but as a fresh approach based on what we’ve learned over the years.
  17. Multilateralism versus hegemony https://iol.co.za/sunday-tribune/news/2026-03-08-trump-and-the-crisis-of-multilateralism-a-new-era-of-unilateral-power/
  18. I used Adobe Fresco and Canva then printed them on my HP printer. I think I bought the keyring kit on Temu
  19. I basically took some local icons and buildings, drew them all and then made the little logo and added text. Then I printed them off, and stuck them on keyring rounds & sealed them Those are technically copyright
  20. My dog and I were freezing overnight and had fuel comp come out to get heat going. Glad it is going b/c below freezing again tonight. Spring weather not here, yet. Brr. Staying in b/c of bears around. Will take dog out tomottow.
  21. No mater what information we get, we all need to live by faith and not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7
  22. Many of the problems can be avoided by following the simple principle of "Too many cooks in the kitchen" NWS requires an approach that not many in the congregations have the experience for it. Many of the permissions and rights are assigned according to what the individuals responsibility is in the congregation which contributes to the problem because they may be tech challenged and not being familiar with networks and how to use collaboration tools. Following the suggestions in the NWS documentation 2-3 should only have administrative permissions. In our congregation those who use NWS when they start it their first action is check are there any updates? If yes, restart the PC, install the updates and restart the PC. Next all elders have viewing privileges and only the ones that need edit and change rights get those assigned. If a task needs to be done and the person doesn't have the permissions, notify the admins and request that they implement it. Admins should do all the regular backups and keep track of them and ONLY they should have the exclusive rights to do restores full and selective ones NO ONE else. Select for your admins those that have earned a living in the IT world. Basically you have 3 groups of users and it can be illustrated in the automobile world. Those that drive the car and do nothing else, those that make sure it has the necessary things to drive it on the road and finally the car mechanics. You get the idea. No problems here because we do have brothers that have made a living in the IT world. Never forget it is called the leading / bleeding edge for a reason.
  23. All right, I will be hitting the gym tonight. I've been going for 3 days a week for the past two weeks. Am definitely getting stronger but the chest press is the hardest exercise for me. Lateral raises are of the devil. I also plan on hiking with friends this weekend.
  24. Please invite me to join one of your FF leagues. I've been trying to find one for years now. I've played on Yahoo Sports and ESPN. My last FF team name was Just the Tua Us.

    • 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.”

      One summer from the local forest fires, I ended up with pneumonia. I went to the clinic, they gave me a Z-Pak. Even then, when I went outside, mind you in the summertime, I’d end up with bronchitis. And I couldn’t get rid of it. I figured I’d die. I was in my late 70s and I couldn’t get rid of what I considered to be something pretty serious..
      I had a horrible experience at a Bible study with someone in the house burned a piece of toast. I could only bring it wanted to do the dash for the door. 
      We are out town, at the local health food store. I went to the health food area and told the lady what I was going through and did she have any suggestions. She told me to try oil of oregano. In two days I got my lungs back. 
      If I think I’m gonna go to the clinic and they’re gonna give me an antibiotic for whatever, I drag out the oil of oregano.
      It’s a broad spectrum, antibiotic, and you need to do research so you know how to use it. But I tell you I think it’s wonderful.
      Love, Bea

      Nothing is real.
      I’m actually really glad it exists.
       
      You know what’s amazing?
      Nothing.
       
      If nothing didn’t exist, we’d have a real problem.
       
      I’ve been thinking about nothing a lot lately.
      It might be the most important thing there is.
       
      I don’t think people appreciate nothing nearly enough.
       
      It’s funny… the more I think about nothing, the more incredible it seems.
       
      You ever stop and think how much nothing there is?
       
      Nothing might be the biggest thing in the universe.

      I sometimes mix-up my terminology so this is to help me:
       
      The Lord's supper is the ceremony in which Jesus and his apostles partook on Nisan 14.
       
      Jesus said to do this in remembrance of him, a remembrance of what he is about to do (give his life for mankind). So what we commemorate is the blood and flesh given in our behalf, and we reproduce this event by observing the sacrament of the Lord's supper.
       
      This death serves to enact a new covenant between the spirit-anointed sons and daughters of God, and the other sheep are respectful attendees and participants that honor that contract.
       
      In summary the Memorial (or 'eucharist', meaning 'thanksgiving' in biblical Greek) is our commemoration of the death of Jesus by observing the Lord's supper. The partaking (other denominations call it 'communion') of the emblems, the wine and bread, is done by spirit-anointed christians who are part of the new covenant.

      I found a video of a physician brother discussing techniques to minimize blood transfusions on patients during a medical congress
       
       
      I know he is a brother because he gives the memorial talk on stream.jw.org
