I ran into the same problem as you. Because of that I usually avoid putting scripture citations in the name of files and links. So I don't do something like [[the meaning of Matthew 6:33]]. Instead I'll call the note something like [[Jesus commanded us not to worry]], and then inside that note I'll say something like "In Matthew 6:44 Jesus said..." and I'll have the full idea there. Then, later if I'm searching for notes with that scripture, I go to the search bar "Matthew 6" (with quotes) and any instances of 'Matthew 6' including any verse citations will appear in the search. I just did it in my vault and I got 47 results. Beyond that I also have a Bible in markdown format inside my Obsidian. It's the World English Bible, so it's open source. Every chapter is it's own file, and every verse is a subheading. So, I can do a wikilink to the file and subheading (the chapter and verse) like this [[Matthew 6#33]]. The "#" is what points you to the subheading. So I've gotten in the habit of taking scripture citations using "#" instead of the ":".

I thought it was an excellent film. I know there is a lot of dramatic license, but I wish I knew if there is any evidence to how they portrayed the "political" drama of it all.

If others are sharing coffee pictures... Here's my coffee cup coaster from a pioneer school lol.

I've been wanting to watch it, just haven't gotten around to it. The only thing I've heard of is that scene you mentioned, working out his sermon, and also talking with one of the writers about how to write a section. That's a pretty fun take if you ask me. I'm not against creative liberties. My wife comes from a Baptist background, so I'm not sure if it's going to gel with her conscience or not. Guess I just have to ask and find out!

lol. Very bold of you to assume that of me.

Wow, that was easily the best explanation I've heard of this. Never seen this channel before somehow. Thanks! (Now I need to see if he has videos on the "Observer effect.") I don't think we can say that spirits are not bound by time. If that were true then the future would be predetermined, thus we would not have free will. If they were not bound by time, Satan would have been an evil rebel from all eternity to all eternity. They may not be bound by the three physical dimensions that we are, but time is a different story. Jehovah can foretell the future, not by traveling through the time dimension, taking notes, and coming back to us to tell us what will happen, he purposes the future to happen in the way he tells it. As far as how they saw Job, they could have been close by. We know the angels fly in midheaven. And of course, an aspect of the angelic realm could be that it is a higher spacial dimension, allowing them to bypass much of 3d space. As an aside, it would seem to me that as soon as Jehovah created the Logos, some form of time must have been in existence, because at that point you have two things interacting. For interaction and change to occur you must have time. Ergo, we can't say that Jehovah is not subject to time. If we say "But he can do anything, so of course he could time travel if he wanted to" is just not really a fair question. It's really us superimposing our idea of "omnipotence" onto God, rather than just letting God be who he tells us he is. We have to avoid Hellenizing Jehovah like the Greeks did during the Great Apostasy.

In Google Maps, when I search "Kingdom Hall" a number pop up with the temple icon. But, when I search "church" and go to where the Kingdom Hall was, no results appear. Unless of course I zoom in to about a two block radius, then the KH pops up too. I know most Witnesses bristle at the thought of being called a "church", but technically the hall hosts 1 or more churches, that is congregations. I find it strange that such a distinction is made in Google maps.

And????? Does this affect our King Jesus Christ who is already ruling from 1914 in a government that will last forever? I don’t think any of us questioned that. This thread is called “US election outcome.” Brandon’s comment is the most on-topic reply possible to this thread.

I think we've 13 elders and 4 ministerial servants. Pretty common to have an Elder body that large in my area. Even in small congregations.

They are suing Russia through their US based legal entities. Seeking damages that Russia inflicted on them by claiming that several Russian corporations are agents/alter-egos of the Russian state, and since they are connected, and these corporations are under the jurisdiction of the U.S., Watchtower can sue. I imagine with how much the U.S. hates Russia, they'll win.

This one seems to work really well for artwork. Thanks!

I want to use an image for an upcoming talk, but I want to focus in on and enlarge a section of the image. However, the resolution will not be high enough for display. I do not want to generate an AI image from scratch. I just want to zoom in and upscale an existing image without any hallucinations. Does such a tool exist?

im currenty having a study with a staunch Trinitarian, weve agreed not to discuss the Trinity dogma for some time. Rather, what i’m doing is setting aside some time at the end of each session for “other topics.” Really what were going over are basic building blocks of Biblical understanding from the Hebrew and Christian worldview. Why Jehovah gave the edenic promise instead of starting over, why we need a messiah, what the Bible and jews believed about messiah, how God acts through his chosen kings and other agents, etc. Along the way, ive been very careful to teach so as to help him draw the right conclusions himself. The idea being that by the end if our side discussions, well start putting the pieces together - conclusions he came to - and he can hopefully discern that the Trinity is unbiblical. But it hinges on not engaging with debate, and not attacking core beliefs. Rather, teaching fundamentals that he finds interesting, and letting the conclusions draw themselves.

I believe that’s what you can do with the “Trim” feature. Unless I’m mistaken on what it is you’re asking about.

You could take an image and turn it into a 40 second video. Then set it to "STOP". A lot of C.O.s in sign language do this, but the video tastefully zooms in and pans to different portions of the picture. Doesn't sound like you'd need that last bit.
