We cannot do nothing just move family from one room of block flat to another heaering to sound... But finally just sleep because we cannot do anything,

*** Moderator Reminder *** In the spirit of Governing Body Update #3 from 2022, where we were encouraged to use caution in what we share, it may be wise if we are careful what stories, photos, or experiences related to our brothers’ situations—especially in war zones— since it could be unwise or even dangerous. Instead, we may find it best if we rely on jw.org as the safe and approved way to stay informed. Our desire to support one another is a beautiful thing—but sometimes, the most loving support we can give is quiet, prayerful discretion. *** Moderator Reminder ***

You are all constantly in our daily prayers Ukraine war was NEVER normalized in our minds that psychopathic aggression is caused by Demons and we know Jehovah is stronger than them keep your shields of faith upon you and trust Jehovah will help you endure 🫶💫

This explains why at times – we have removed or edited certain posts OR asked the poster to share directly, like music, rather than through this site - JWTalk. We do not want to violate copyright laws. In fact, we have a copyright policy on our site. It is here -> If you read that announcement, you’ll see that LINKS are OK. That is the very first sentence in that announcement: “While we may share information from the organization’s websites by sending a link to individuals”. The way many websites work now – IF you link to a picture, the picture or artwork shows BUT it directs to the source. Links are OK and do not violate copyrights. BUT if you download artwork or a song and post it THEN you have violated copyright. Why? Because it appears as if it is yours, but it is not – it belongs to the source/ creator of that work. So, to recap – LINKS to the source are OK, but do not upload as if the artwork or music is your own IF it is not.

JWB June 2025 - 157th Gilead Graduation Part 1 transcript

What a question...what an amazing thought...and what an absolutely stunning spiritual point that left me in awe...and, frankly, in tears. The question: But Tim...have you ever wondered...what does he DO with them?? The context? After having been let down, once again...by someone I trust deeply, (a brother no less)…I did what I always do...I reached for my phone and stabbed blindly at a picture on the screen. A few seconds later...a gentle "Hi, my dear brother Tim! How are you?" filled my ears as I snugged my earbuds in place, adjusted my posture in my red folding lawn chair, took a few deep breaths, stared deep into the flames from the outdoor firepit in our backyard...and set about letting loose a nearly an hour long tirade on this loving shepherd. (Below you will see an actual picture I took that evening, just for further context.) I laughed out of pure frustration, I cried several times...I even, (admittedly), shouted a few times as the pain and hurt slowly seeped out of me to be replaced by a feeling of resignation and a deep sense of loss that nagged at me like a bad toothache. (I don't even want to think what my neighbor might have thought of me if they witnessed this scene...but I couldn't help it...the pain was fresh, the wound was deep...and I needed to get it out!) Finally...as always...I fell silent...and this wonderful brother...this dear man who had endured my entire diatribe...finally he calmly, gently...lovingly...began to pick me up...piece by broken piece...and slowly he set about putting me back together. I don't remember much of anything he said...but I clearly remember the feelings this loving brother stirred in me!! Because of him...I was able to see MY part in what had went wrong...because of him...I was able to call the brother who had hurt me so badly and apologize for MY stupidity after our conversation...and let me tell you right now...HE said he felt worse than I did about what had happened...and we were able to patch things up that same night. What was the issue between us? It doesn't matter...but I'm not sharing this to highlight my own stupidity...(I'm quite sure most of you here could do so without any help from me😅). I chose to share this one snippet from my evening with each and every one of you for one reason: This brother shared something with me that night...something I had never even stopped to think about...but once I did...my mouth fell open...and I felt Jehovah's hand gripping my shoulder...comforting me...telling me it was going to be okay…just relax and let me comfort you...LISTEN to one of my shepherds as he tenderly binds up your wounds and helps you regain your spiritual footing. This dear brother shared just a few scriptures with me over that hour...but the one that has gripped me ever since...is one I know quite well...as I'm sure do each and every single one of you. Please turn to the book of Psalms...flip over or tap on Chapter 56...and scroll down to verse 8: "You keep track of my wandering. Do collect my tears in your skin bottle. Are they not recorded in your book?" After I read the verse, the brother then asked me the question: "But Tim, have you ever wondered...what does he DO with them??" It was like a lightning bolt...I had literally never stopped to think about that. What DOES Jehovah do with those tears he collects?? Why had I never stopped to ask myself this before?? Why had I never wondered about it? It's Jehovah...it's figurative...the fact that he NOTICES is what is important, right? Yes...but wait...there's more!!!! This brother, according to him, heard this from a member of the Governing Body many years ago who he had the privilege of spending some time with...and he chose to share this idea and the following verses to support it with me: Psalms 30:11: "You have changed my mourning into dancing; You have removed my sackcloth, and you clothe me with rejoicing" Psalms 126:5: "Those sowing seed with tears Will reap with a joyful shout." He said while it's true that this verse in Psalms 56:8 shows how deeply Jehovah cares about each and every one of us...storing up all the hurt and pain that we go through and monitoring us to give us real comfort...the verse actually implies more when you stop to ask yourself that simple yet profound question: What does he DO with all the decades worth of tears he has saved up from YOU? Those tears...they represent ME…they speak to Jehovah about what I have endured...and Jehovah certainly wouldn't continue to store them up in the new system!! But if the metaphor shows him storing them up...then the natural question is...what does he DO with them...in the end? He said the G.B. brother told him that, in the new system, these tears seem to be figuratively poured out, as comfort and blessings!!!! What a profound thought…what a beautiful completion to that illustration of Jehovah's loyal love and deep care for each and every one of us. Will you find this in print? Sadly, not that I am aware of. This brother made it clear that these were the G.B. members personal thoughts and reflections from his personal study...but what an absolutely beautiful thought...and what an incredible way to complete Jehovah's brilliant illustration. I decided to share this because, although I don't know who may specifically need to hear it...I'm sure we can all use another beautifully motivating scriptural thought to encourage us and motivate us to keep going…even if for just one more day! I love all of you...may Jehovah continue to bless each of you. May he continue to store up your tears...because one day...they will surely become a downpour of blessings and true comfort!

Amanda, I have 2 daughters that know the Truth. They never got baptized but, were raised in the Truth. They went their own way. It hurts me. There is not a night that I do not put my head on the pillow and shed a tear or two. But, here's the thing. Jehovah will take care of this situation. They are in good hands. Better than ours sis. Jehovah knows their hearts and they might come back as the GT starts to unfold. Pray for them. We can worry ourselves to death. Not healthy. Give them into Jehovah's hands and continue your work. Stay faithful.

Worlds at war. Campaign on September 2025 is very timely.

"They say peace, but there is no peace"

Right there you said it. All I care about is God's Kingdom and it making known to all. I also care about this idiot Satan taking my friends and family and dividing all of us RIGHT NOW. The GB said it's just a matter of time with the UN, don't worry about a PS message. My mind instantly went into deep ministry mode and I couldn't care less about how or when the UN does it. I trust the slave. Get to work... plain and simple.

Brother Banks tells us in the Broadcast that we will get the additional talks individually in the coming weeks. This video today was only about 1 1/4 hours of the Graduation. The introduction talk by Br. Fleegle lasts about 10 minutes, then Br. Lippold gives us the Inside Story for 35 minutes, the main talk by Br. Sanderson for 20 minutes and lastly the graduation/diplomas. Br. Banks comes back and gives us the video postcard for the month and tells us to look forward to the additional talks. Usually there are 4 or 5 other talks (Noumair, Cauthon, other Gilead instructors) that take 10-15 minutes each. So we can look forward to another hour to hour and a half during June (later this month)...♥️ It was nice they extended the broadcast to include the actual graduation.

If you have ever had one of your favorite books made into a movie, you know how I feel. The movie may be a little different than the story in the book and adds a few details and a little excitement, but you have already read the book so you know how the movie ends. That's how I feel about world events. They are details in the movie of the world but I already read the book, I know what happens next and how the movie will end.

I’m 65 and extremely active I can assure you that I have a lot more years to live Lol 60’s is the new 40’s I enjoy my life far more now than I ever have before

Thanks for sharing .. to get old in this system is already too much to handle... Now at 40s, Im struggling from premenopausal symptoms in which I feel so bad physically and mentally. + experiencing job insecurity, the attitude of people are us. .. We dont need great calamity anymore... living day to day is a calamity itself. My parents are 65 yrs old, and Im thinking that they only have few years to live. I cant imagine losing my parents especially my mom.. No other humans on earth would ever love and understand me like she does. Im not negative about life but this life supposedly not meant for us.

Yep. I am over all of it. I feel like we are living in a B rated end of days movie where everything is just ridiculous and doesn’t seem believable.

I think it's all but useless to look for P&S now that we are expecting the UN to get sudden power. If the cry happens before the UN gets power we won't know it's the "real" cry until the UN gets power; if the cry happens after the UN gets power we'll be ready for it because the more obvious sign has already happened. Either way, I'm looking for the UN to get power; I'm not really giving any attention at all to the cry of P&S anymore.

Coming, June 21st.

I didn't see this topic when it first was posted. I have just read the whole thread through, and it has blown my mind!!! It seems that 1 Thessalonians 4:11 has been quoted or alluded to by some people to tell others to 'mind there own business' over actual laws that are being broken. Interestingly the people using the scripture in that way are people who I have been on threads with who very much did not "mind their own business" over a certain situation a few years back where the governing body heavily encouraged us to follow the guidance of the governments in our land to take a certain medical treatment...even though it was not a law, unlike what is being discussed here. Everything about this is confusing to me. I do believe we should mind our own business, and that these brothers and sisters who are in the US illegally should resolve the issue themselves, fully relying on Jehovah knowing that if they are obedient to the law of the land he will give them all that they need to be equal to whatever the consequences are for them. Nobody in the congregation needs to get involved. Its up to them individually. Jehovah will definitely not let them down as they strive to do the right thing.

A brother I've known since I was 15 got after me yesterday on Facebook. He condemned my posting pics of myself and friends working a Metro shift because you could see the literature in the cart. You can't even read the titles... but that's copyright offense, in his opinion. He also was upset that I posted Adam doing the Bible reading last week. Then posted up the Terms and Conditions from our site. I informed him - for the hundredth time - that I am very well aware of what consists of copyright infringement. That the Bible is public domain and I can post my son reading it at any time I please, and that the mere sight of our literature, in a cart or on a table, does not come under that restriction, either. 😕 This brother rarely speaks to me on FB except to call out what he feels are errors... he's the same one that was upset that my photo of Adam reading the WT a few years ago had a picture from the WT on the screen behind him. And don't let me post a link, heaven forbid! I asked him to please stop harassing me about this. 😠 So many things to be upset about. Even more to be friendly about. The gnat strainers need to get another hobby. In my humble opinion...

Oh I see this all the time myself among certain individual brothers or sisters in my congregation. Whenever a past president uttered the words "peace and security" there was bound to be somebody getting all excited and giddy. Even online, some brothers and sisters will start circulating or posting a video clip of that political figure trying the words, complete with a scriptural reference and some dramatic music. I should have saved them, as it would be fun to show them off right now. Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden - I think they've all said it. I fathom this happens in other countries as well. What we do know according to the apostle Paul is that we 'will not be in darkness' and that it won't 'overtake us like thieves' of we have spiritual insight (1 Thess 5:4). In other words, the declaration of "peace and security" that we are waiting for will be blaringly obvious to us. It'll be unlike any one-off reference like before. When we hear the term "a declaration of peace and security" we immediately think of a single event, major act, and so we've often interpreted this to mean all the nations (or "all" the nations as represented by the UN) declaring some sort of victory. "Look, we've achieved peace!". And maybe that's true. It will be false, but that won't stop it from being "declared". But there Bible doesn't exactly say there will be a "declaration of peace and security". Paul says "whenever it is they are saying..." which is an action in progress, not complete. That's why I personally speculate that it will be something said and repeated constantly, maybe even daily for weeks or months. It might be a campaign or an effort being championed to hopefully bring "peace and security" as the end result. It has to be loud and obvious (and maybe repetitive) if we are not going"to be in darkness" about it. We will understand what's really happening. The world on the other hand will be sucking up the propaganda and falling for it. However this prophecy is fulfilled is fine with me. But yes when I see a president utter the words "peace and security" and then watch a particular brother or sister get all giddy giddy, I try to remind them to not get too excited just yet, but commend them for keeping on the watch.

The Faithful Slave is ever reliable. They’re helping us to keep on the watch, stay in tune with what the scriptures are saying, and to keep calm and trust Jehovah. 🙏🙏

Personally, I'm seeing ICE and police all over my city and it's not even LA city. Military helicopters flying around. We're making preparations for my own family in case of deportations. We only can trust in Jehovah right now. Because the situation is ugly in LA COUNTY not just the City of LA. Thank you @Dhanyel for keeping us aware. And BTW, it's new to me.

Ignore if this has been already posted A positive report by a UK Rotary Club after a 2025 tour of the JW HQ

(Takes a deep breath and lets out a long sigh) The other day at work I found myself reminiscing while driving...my minds eye flitting between scenes from my past as I listened to beautiful orchestra music by Mathias Fritsche. Between my ruminations and my stray thoughts...I suddenly realized that I had taken a detour from my route and was driving into a small park nestled by a gently flowing stream. Suddenly needing some fresh air, I pulled into the little parking lot and got out, meandering down a well worn path until I came to the edge of the stream. Watching the water flow along, I leaned over and saw several small fish swimming in the shadow of a large submerged tree branch...their little bodies undulating against the current. After a moment I stepped back and sat down by a worn picnic table...my senses taking in all the sights and sounds of early Wisconsin summer. My mind felt submerged just like those fish...swimming against the undercurrent of my life as it sorted through various memories and experiences until it finally settled on one memory...one voice. I couldn't remember the brothers name...I couldn't remember the name of the talk...but this dear brothers voice rippled up through my brain as the memory came to life and I heard him telling me to get out and enjoy nature...to put down my cell phone and refresh myself in Jehovah's creation. His voice echoed through my heart...mixing with the sounds of birds and a lone owl calling out from somewhere close by...crickets singing and the gentle splashing of water tumbling over moss covered rocks. Gratitude swelled within me...I could feel the bright sunshine pressing down against my skin...and suddenly...I decided to do something I haven't done since I was a very small child...I found a nice spot among the freshly cut grass, laid down, stretched out...and looked up into the afternoon sky. Squinting against the sunlight...I gazed up and allowed my eyes to take in the large banks of soft white clouds moving slowly across the sky...following their progress for several minutes as they crept across the sky and finally blocked out the bright sunlight. I have no idea how it happened...but suddenly I heard another car enter the parking lot...its tires crunching over gravel as it came to a stop maybe 25 feet from where I was laying...and instantly I realized that I had fallen asleep! Getting to my feet...I brushed the grass off my shorts, sheepishly made my way back to my work van, nodding to the couple who had exited their car and were no doubt startled to see me pop up out of the grass...and resumed my route. I am relaying all of that...because after I left...I found out something that startled me...and I wanted to share it with all of you. Maybe you knew this...maybe you didn't...but either way...I hope this encourages you...because after I meditated on this fact...I found a way to relate it to Jehovah...and to how our God...feels about each of us. While I was laying there...staring up into the sky...I kept looking at those clouds...I kept thinking...if only I could do that...just float calmly through the rest of this system of things...just allow everything to pass by, unworried, unbothered...just peacefully float along until Paradise is here...what a wish, huh? Little did I know, my friends...little did I know the truth about those beautiful fluffy clouds. But now I do...and that's what this post is all about. See, I was under the impression that those clouds were airy and light...but little did I know that the average cloud, (I don't remember what kind), can weigh up to a million pounds!! I mean...it made sense once I thought about it...after all, that's where rain comes from....and all that moisture has weight...but when you just look at a cloud...you wouldn't think about that...nor would you automatically think that it's the atmosphere that is holding that cloud up in the sky. And it's the same, my friends...with us. Daily we interact with each other...on this website...at our meetings, our assemblies and conventions, out in service...and just for recreation and association...and often we just see the outer self...we view the friends as floating past us, serene and peaceful...never knowing the tremendous weight this dear brother or sister is carrying around on their shoulders...held up only by the mercy and pure love of our God. True...we know the friends are going through a lot...but when they are smiling...when they are laughing...when they are happy...it's easy to forget that sometimes they are smiling through the pain...they are laughing because otherwise they will burst into tears...and they are happy only because Jehovah's holy spirit is at work in them...even though they want to give up...even though their heart may be bursting with secret pains...even if no other human alive knows the burdens they are struggling under...Jehovah knows...please remember that, my dear brothers and sisters...Jehovah knows…and just like those clouds...one day Jehovah will release all the rain you hold inside...and then you will be free. May each of you continue to stand for Jehovah...because he is standing for you...and soon...there will be no more pain...soon...you will not look at each other and wonder what secret pain lies beneath that smile, that hug, that laughter...because true and unending joy will fill the entire earth...and we will finally be free...free to be what Jehovah intended us to be. I cannot wait until I can meet each and every single one of you there...imagine what that will be like...what it will smell like...what it will feel like...and take a moment, even now...just to stop and appreciate where Jehovah wants you to be. And please take Jehovah at his word when he says: "Throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7 Allow those last 5 words to really sink in...because it literally means..."it matters to him". You matter...to Jehovah...to your brothers and sisters...and to me! Agape to each and every one of you...and I hope this provided even a tiny bit of the encouragement it gave me!

Of course it's our concern. But it's nothing we can act on. Which is the difference. It's very much my concern if my children return. I love them and miss them soo much. But I love Jehovah first, and while I know that they are safe in his hands, depending on their heart condition, it's still a concern. When a child moves from being a minor to a major (...... use your imagination here .... ) especially if they were baptized ... they were not only fleshly family, they were spiritual family too. My heart is only being held together by Jehovah’s golden glue. So, yes it's a concern, and it was a good question thoughtful question. If we only looked out for our own salvation, then preaching may as well stop. Because those lost, whether inactive, removed or just never took the truth, are more precious to us and to Jehovah, because they once knew him.

The Pact for the Future was adopted by consensus during the Summit of the Future in September '24, It's stated purpose is to agree that the member nations will grant authority to a United Nations central command in the event of a severe global threat to humanity. The original UN charter envisioned "working together" (hence United Nations) but the Pact indicates that the nations agree to step aside and let a central command work on the issues that are existential. It remains to be seen how this will happen, what triggers it, and who are the central command, but the Pact sounds like a step toward the fulfillment of Rev 17:17.

Well, a little sooner than I planned. Amazon always says 'Up To 72 Hours' to publish, but you never know where in that 72 Hours' it will arrive. The Sake Of My Name is now available for Kindle on Amazon. *** Oskar doesn't know how the world changed so fast. One moment he was living a normal life, and the next, he was a prisoner of the Nazi's. His daughter has been taken from him, and his life before the Camp is barely a memory. His only Crime is following his faith, and refusing to fight in a War that has consumed the world. Thousands of years before, a man named Takarut is living a similar situation. He has rejected the teachings, and gods of his youth in Egypt, to follow Israel on their path to freedom; in service to Jehovah God. And yet, at the very entrance to the Promised Land, his new people changed their minds. Both men will have to endure the most unexpected of trials. Neither of them know what will come next, or how long it might last. Both men have only the support of those in the same situation, and the hope that their faith gives them; as they both attempt to endure the greatest challenge of their lives *** For those of you who aren't buying from the US Amazon store, it'll get there in another day or so.

Jehovah is the one which says in Revelation he puts his one thought into there minds. plus that was also on one of the annual meetings i think it was in the last one we had.

I thought that a young sister from my congregation was on the flight as she posted a photo of herself at the airport…. Thankfully she was flying to Mumbai

Long as they didn't think we were there to support the march. Reminds me of the time I placed a magazine in Dec that had a Christmasy picture. The householder said "That will look great on my hall table. Just the right picture for the time of year!"

A quick look at the headlines shows just how insane the world we live in has become (all from BBC - https://www.bbc.com/😞 1. Austrian school gunman who killed nine was 21-year-old former pupil, officials say Six females and three males are among the dead, the interior minister says, after a local man opened fire in a secondary school in Graz. 2. UK sanctions far-right Israeli ministers for 'inciting violence' against Palestinians Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich will both face a travel ban, the UK says. 3. Middle East Greta Thunberg deported, Israel says, after Gaza aid boat intercepted 4. RFK Jr sacks entire US vaccine committee 5. Trump says LA would be 'burning to the ground' without troop deployment California Governor Gavin Newsom blasts the federal government's response to anti-immigration raid protests as "purposefully inflammatory". Even the book section: 6. How being alone can make you happier From spending time by yourself to making the most of being single, flying solo can be fulfilling – a philosophy championed by a new wave of books. NOTE: that picture is the cover of Frankenstein! The world has gone to the monsters!! May the Kingdom come! And take full control to end the madness.

I really don't think anyone here concerned about working out the correct time of everything. I think we all have a degree of excitement but also a degree of wanting this old system behind us. For me, and I'm sure most, I'm sick of seeing the vulnerable exploited and suffering, so talking about it, solidifies the truth that it will happen, The biggest degree, in all of us (I'm confident because love believes all things 😄) that we are all very content to wait on Jehovah.

Are we not truly thankful that the GB have a handle on this, knowing as they do that Jehovah will not let anything happen before revealing the appropriate details to his servants, as Amos 3:7 reminds us. Throughout the history of Jehovah's people, recorded in Hebrew and Greek scriptures, advance warning kept us ahead of the problem. We know that nothing 'will be late' (Hab 2:3), but when it happens, we will be prepared and have instructions as to how to proceed. We need patience and trust at this time.

whatever peace talk plan the nations will have is nothing. .. rev 17:17 is what preludes GT.

Wouldn't it be funny if a politician with the last name Iron decided to run for president of the US and they chose a running mate with the last name Clay? President Iron and vice-President Clay..

I use ChatGPT regularly—but with clear boundaries that I’ve personally put in place to keep things spiritually safe and aligned with Jehovah’s direction. ChatGPT can be trained or “programmed” to follow specific instructions, and I’ve done just that. Here are some of the key limitations I’ve given it: Always use the New World Translation unless I explicitly ask otherwise. Give priority to JW.org and wol.jw.org—those are my primary sources, period. Never invent or reinterpret doctrine. It must reflect what’s taught by the faithful and discreet slave. Avoid misleading language—I’ve told it not to use terms like “magical” or “nature’s wisdom,” which shift credit away from our Creator. Fact-check everything. I don’t want guesses. I want truth. I use it like a study assistant—something to help me go deeper faster, not to replace spiritual discernment or direction from Jehovah’s organization. Like we’re reminded at 1 Thessalonians 5:21: “Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine.” And when it gives a really polished answer, I remind myself—it’s helpful, but it’s not inspired. 😄 Balance is key. Tools are helpful, but only when they stay in their lane.

The culprit behind all this chaos is Satan. He has his players on the stage scene but, soon they will all be taken down. The Great Tribulation is fast approaching as we see world events unwind and governments hanging on by threads. They have no clue who is driving this madness. War or no war. Who will do what? Do we care? No. Jehovah has all things under control.

That is good my sister, I am not too far behind you and myself and others are happy that your life is enjoyable at this time and better than ever. However, it must be understood (and with a bit more sensitivity please) that not everyone is enjoying life so much right now, no matter what the age. For some, being in their 40's is no simple task and they may feel like they are in their 60's. It all depends how we grew up, what we have had to endure in life and also current challenges or the stress and anticipation of an upcoming trial. Not sure if it translates, but it is not "rosy" for all brothers and sisters. The more stories I hear from brothers (including elder's personal struggles), things are tough and almost unbearable at times for many. We can tell people to "hang in there and rely on Jehovah" but life still has many challenges, some suddenly unexpected too. Of course, worshipping Jehovah brings up happiness with a hope for a better future. I doubt anyone can "assure" that they have a lot more years to live. If so, please "spill the beans" and let me know, I'm listening.

I’m quite confident that not every witness knew this, but thank you for your input now move along

Jehovah isn't waiting on world events. He has an appointed time, and his day will not wait for any man, woman or child,

W15 8/15 "Thus, the Scriptures indicate that world conditions during the last days would not become so extreme that people would be forced to believe that the end is near." CO talk 2022 (my notes): "We should not expect some great calamity to strike this system to alert us to the approach of the great tribulation." Any day now.

Brother Yura and all our family in Ukraine, we love you so very much!! Your example of endurance under the most difficult circumstances shows us Jehovah is with you 💗He will never let you down.

Your language translator has made some of your comments very confusing and reading them again doesn't help, so please do not get upset if there is a misunderstanding.

Thats great. I've seen all 3 recent episodes about 25 times and.....I will see it another 25. Can't wait for more. I believe in my opinion that these dramas is enough for me to take me into the GT and beyond. It has brought me closer to Jehovah.

True, I talk to a Muslim yesterday, he knows when Jesus come, he will come with a vengeance and I show him Daniel 2:44 and he loved it. An I told him, it is like a freight train, all nations including USA will fall. Never give up what we preach.

Job interview at Ikea. Please take a seat

I clicked on the link you included. Candidly, I was surprised at the evenness of their composition. Perhaps the reason was that you specified that only material from JW.org was to be used. I am not "conversant" with AI (even though I started with computers in 1968 writing line by line programs in COBOL). I am surprised to find out that you could specify which source material they would use. But, I still am very cautious about asking a "worldly" source to give a synopsis of material from Jehovah's organization. I would be MUCH more comfortable going straight to Jehovah's organization for material. We know from things that happened in the previous century that worldly institutions have the ability to manufacture material that appears to be from Jehovah's organization, but is in reality false. There was a program within the past two years on JW.org specifically covering an instance where the USSR (through one of its agencies) falsified a letter supposedly from the Society in Brooklyn that was full of disinformation. After the collapse of the USSR, the Society received a copy of the false letter sent out by the USSR (apparently from brothers to whom the false letter was sent) and was able to specifically identify what was changed and how. Even if we can instruct an AI program to limit its reference sources, we do not know for sure that the limitation of source material will be followed. We cannot trust "promises" of the world. The world is under the control of Satan (1 John 5:19). Jehovah's organization is the only one we can trust to give us accurate information from the Faithful and Discreet Slave (aka The Governing Body). Thanks, Jim P.S. This is the main reason why I have not explored or used AI. It is not from Jehovah. It is from the world.
