Yes. I am always suspicious of wild claims made by "scientists" that get enhanced by media types which just want to sell books or papers. It is similar to finding planets that are similar to earth in other solar systems that are so far away, it is doubtful that the article is accurate. The Denisova tooth is another example of reading more into the discovery than what is actually there. They have an agenda and are sometimes blinded by their own bias.

They should do a public update on this, Australian tourism would skyrocket!

Hi everyone, A quick update — and first of all, a big thank you to everyone here who has been using JW Sync and sharing feedback, questions, and bug reports. It really has shaped where this little project is going. I'm happy to share that JW Sync now has its own proper home at ** www.jwsync.org. **. I paid for a real domain rather than leaving things on a free hosting URL. The reasons were: - **More permanent** — no risk of the link disappearing or changing one day. - **More secure** — proper SSL, and a domain that's clearly the one you'd expect. - **Easier to remember and share** — jwsync.org is a lot simpler than the old address. The old link will still keep working for a while, but please switch over to jwsync.org going forward. The other thing I wanted to share is that the whole project is now openly on GitHub: https://github.com/j-syncer/Jw-sync- A few reasons for putting it all out in the open: - **Privacy you can verify.** The whole premise of JW Sync has always been that nothing ever leaves your device — every merge happens privately in your browser. With the code public, you (or anyone you trust who reads code) can actually check that for yourself. You don't have to take my word for it anymore. - **Help and contributions.** If you happen to have some development experience and notice something that could be improved, or want to suggest a feature, you're warmly welcome to open an issue or share a suggestion. Anyone who'd like to help out is welcome. - **Permanence.** Even if I one day stepped away, the code stays available so someone else could pick it up and keep it going. Please do keep an eye on the forum as things develop, and as always, let me know if you run into any problems or have ideas. Every bit of feedback so far has shaped this tool for the better — I'm genuinely thankful for each one. Warm regards I will still be using JW sink alpha for all my alpha and beta testing. Just to make sure I don't break the usability of the actual main site, I want to make sure it's Rock solid. So whenever you are in a hurry rushing towards a meeting, you don't have to worry about the main site not doing its basic function.

Also, you could only stand from a distance from the outdoor set, but now you can walk through the set as part of the main tour if they're not using it at the time of your tour. I did have a Private tour of the set; my cousin was a Bethelite at the time. But we were strictly not allowed to take photos while walking around the town.

I had my blood tested when I was 26 years old. Though I was in elite physical shape, I was told I was pre diabetic. I didn’t take it seriously and thought it must have been an error. Fast forward to 3 years later. I developed high blood pressure. It got serious enough that I knew I had to make a change. I became a vegetarian and had good results from it. I did that for about 2 years. During that time, I had my blood tested every 6 months. Although I was eating dairy and all the sweets I desired, my blood sugar levels returned to normal. I later began eating meat again, and the health problems returned. I then adopted a plant-based diet in early 2018, and my blood sugar returned to normal. Now that I’m eating a whole-food plant-based diet, my blood pressure averages 110/70. Shortly after I adopted a PB diet, I watched a vegan documentary that stated that, although sugar exacerbates diabetes, it doesn’t cause it. Animal proteins do. I then thought about when I gave up animal protein, besides dairy, and was eating a ton of sweets, I was no longer pre diabetic, and thought there may be some truth to it. I did more research, which led me to that conclusion. Type 2 diabetes is virtually nonexistent in countries that eat little meat. Last year, my brother-in-law was diagnosed with diabetes, and with the encouragement of my sister, he adopted a plant-based diet and reversed it very quickly. He lost a lot of weight, and his blood pressure also returned to normal. I try not to mention this type of stuff too much anymore, because I noticed people get defensive, passive-aggressive, and argumentative when you say things that challenge the things they have strong emotional attachments to, like food. But this is what worked for me. I’m not saying you should do it too. But my conscience would not allow me not to tell you about something that could help you, that helped me with the very same problem. Hope this helps. By the way, I've had my blood pressure checked every 6 months since 2018, and my blood sugar levels have been excellent. I have not been pre diabetic since then. I believe my original reading was correct, since diabetes runs in my family, at least on my father’s side.

Does anyone have screenshots of each step? That will be helpful to share with anyone that is having the same issue.

A young man was going door to door in a very affluent neighborhood looking for work. A man said he could paint the porch and everything he needed was in the garage. After he was done and was getting paid he said "BTW, it's a Ferrari, not a Porsche"

Oh boy….look what I started 🤭

Pokey and Gumby

Poke or poke?

Thursday, May 14 He will judge the inhabited earth with righteousness and the peoples with his faithfulness.—Ps. 96:13. How will Jehovah glorify his name in the near future? By means of his judgments. Soon he will execute Babylon the Great for bringing reproach on his holy name. (Rev. 17:5, 16; 19:1, 2) Some who witness the destruction of Babylon the Great might join us in true worship. Finally, at Armageddon, Jehovah will destroy Satan’s entire system, eliminating all those who oppose him and blaspheme his name but saving all those who love and obey him and who are proud to give him glory. (Mark 8:38; 2 Thess. 1:6-10) After the final test that follows Christ’s Thousand Year Reign, Jehovah will have completely sanctified his name. (Rev. 20:7-10) At that time, “the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah as the waters cover the sea.” (Hab. 2:14) How thrilling it will be when everyone alive will be giving Jehovah the glory due his name! w25.01 7 ¶15-16

I too would appreciate this feature being added. I briefly researched it some time ago and just now but I am not interested in loading it by activating a developer account. If it was supported inside JW Library it would have access to all my notes and highlighted publications etc. From what I saw, it might not support that.

Only a 1,000 languages more to go to catch up .... Jesus Film Project Statistics It is officially accredited by The Guinness Book of World Records as the "Most Translated Film" in history, having been translated and available for download in 1,977 languages as of May 2022, with many others in process.[29] By the end of 2023, the Jesus film was available in 2,210 languages.

I do not know, but the USA military is much stronger than China. Usually in summits like this, the translators will do most of the talking or translating.

Will the United States poke China?

I think the feature would be covered if more tabs were available in the app. More than the current ones, which one can make workarounds with. Which tabs? Unspecified ones to use as we see fit. That remember previous content when app is opened.

OK - James' fix did work for me. I read it more carefully. FIX: For my Androis, everything showed Loaded Successfully except under Persons there was a red Loading Error and a link to click "Delete Local Data." I clicked that and a popup appeared - I clicked "Yes" and that restored everything. Thanks so much James! It is going to be a nightmare if we have to instruct all of the publishers how to do this. Maybe the developers will fix this soon.

I am getting the same "Loading Error" message. Clicking "Reload Local Data" does nothing. If a publisher clicks "DISCONNECT" they will need to login all over again with congregation credentials. That wil be a nightmare. What is posted above as a fix is not an option that I can see. I don't have any other alerts or a way to log out or to refresh anything. Everything shows Loaded Successfully except Under Persons there is a red Loading Error and a link to click "Delete Local Data." I am afraid ot click that.

My phone had the loading error but my tablet and my wife's phone updated without any problem. Thanks for the info.
