  1. In the end the decision making process should always fall on the individual. We still have to make decisions when doing google searches and its the same with AI. I think if you are using AI to do research that it should be step 1 of the process not the final step. I use AI everyday for work and i will tell you. It makes ALOT of mistakes. I would say that about 30% of the info it gives me is incorrect. The is a 70% correct percentage. 70% is a failing grade in school and colleges. I need to double check everything it does. Mind you, in many processes, it is faster for me to correct than to do the full work. Anyways my point is, you should not use AI info as the end all say all. it should just be a guide to point you to the right direction. But the same could be said about google searches. nothing on the internet is vetted. so even google searches are full of bad data. AI and google should be tools used only to get us started, but the decision making and contemplation should still fall on us. I know people in the world that know the bible better than me, yet they don't contemplate what they read. they dont get "transformed by making your mind over" and "prove to yourself" like we do. That is why our understanding is much better. I love AI but I will be the first to say that if you depend on AI, you will be greatly mislead. Last year some poor guy was depressed and used AI as a therapist. AI told him that the best way to get rid of his problems was to kill himself and the guy did. I mean, AI wasn't wrong, he did not have any problems after that, however, it was not good advice. We can't be like that guy, we still need to use our brains and our own discernment.
  2. I don't find this as a Christian environment. Even if you don't smoke anything. Would you go to a gentlemen's club for a lunch buffet? no you wouldn't. even if you don't "look" or partake and are there strictly for the lunch specials. its not a Christian environment. I find hookah bars to be the same. but then again, scripturally there isnt anything saying that he can't. so its a conscience issue I guess. kinda like the GBU about toasting stated.
  3. I told my chatgpt that I do not want any apostate information about JWs. I even told it that even if I ask for apostate material that I do not want it to give me apostate info. I then tested it, and by asking if it can recap Crisis in conscience or w/e its called. It told me it was forbidden from telling me.
  4. Time travel is real, but not in the way science fiction makes it out to be. It’s based on physics — specifically, Einstein’s theory of relativity. The faster you move, the slower time passes for you compared to someone who’s standing still. So technically, traveling into the future is possible. Traveling back in time, however, isn’t. According to physics, it would require infinite energy, which makes it impossible for humans or even demons to accomplish. Jehovah, being almighty, wouldn’t be limited by that — but we certainly are. In fact, we experience a tiny form of time travel every day without realizing it. Our phones rely on satellites orbiting Earth at around 8,700 mph, and those satellites experience time dilation — their clocks tick about 38 microseconds faster per day than clocks on Earth. Because of this, programmers have to correct for the time difference on both the satellites and our phones. It may not sound impressive, but it’s real, measurable time travel. If humans could ever travel at or near the speed of light, we’d experience extreme time dilation — effectively jumping into the future. But again, going backward in time would require energy beyond anything we can ever generate. So while forward time travel is possible and already happening in small ways, backward time travel is out of reach — at least for us.
  5. Tortuga says, "I’ll make it clear, I’m not posting, don’t you fear. But if you’d like to take a look, Here’s the link, come take the hook." No need for posts, no need to share, Just a simple link, if you dare. A quiet gesture, no need to shout, But here’s the way, if you’re about!
  6. DNA companies are doing very unethical things with peoples DNA. Your insurance provider can deny you based on DNA markers that can be found when you do these DNA test. I wanted to check my genealogy years ago, and I feel like I was protected from submitting to DNA test thanks to 1 Timothy 1:4. It's not that it is bad to know your genealogy but you can see how it can lead to assumptions about yourself. I am interested in know more about myself, but I am thankful that I never did this as 23andme, and ancestry are doing alot of unethical things with your DNA. I Timothy 1:4 nor to pay attention to false stories+ and to genealogies. Such things end up in nothing useful+ but merely give rise to speculations rather than providing anything from God in connection with faith
  7. Thank you. I watched some videos on youtube but I wanted to see real reactions from brothers and sister. Most of these videos are done by realtors trying to sell houses. So I take them with a grain of salt.
  8. Hey everyone, I have the opportunity to move to Chattanooga, Tennessee for work, and I'm curious to learn more about the area. For those of you familiar with the city, I’d appreciate any insights on the following: - How are the congregations in the area (both English and Spanish)? - What’s the entertainment scene like? Any recommendations for things to do? - How are the people there? Is it a welcoming community? - What’s the crime situation like? Any advice or thoughts you can share would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!
  9. I fear the day they use AI to fake governing body videos
  10. It's a great show but I feel like they pull punches with the royal family. Like they made Prince Phillips infidelity a throw away line, but then went super hard on the Kennedy's. This show has made me think about the Great Tribulation. I wonder what will happen when the nations go against religion. Royalty is the earthly representation of the church but they are also political in nature. They act like they do not get involved with politics yet they meet with all of the prime ministers and give them advice. That doesn't seem very separated to me. So I wonder will royalty renounce religion, or will governments turn against royalty, kicking them out of their castles and taking their money? It is super interesting, and I can't wait and see how that plays out.
  11. I only have the base game. We want to get an expansion soon. We did buy custom resource holders for it.
  12. My wife and I play Everdell. You play one of four anamorphic animal species. The goal is to create the best city. You have 4 seasons to build the best city. So the game doesn't go for too long. It allows 1 - 4 players. (you can even play solo if you like, but I always play with my wife)
  13. I wonder if you wrote to the branch if they would give an update.
