@Sheep dont yall have a dollar coin instead of a dollar bill, or is that another weird country

There are about 8 billion (8,000,000,000) people alive today. And there are more billions presently in their grave. I don't think I have time to make those judgements. And even more so, I don't have the knowledge to make those judgements. Just surprise me during the resurrection!

First of all, I’d like to see a new Revelation book explaining these things we talked about in more detail. There has been so much new information and adjustments that much of what we have studied in our current Revelation book now seems to be outdated. This has been discussed in other threads on here before, but I thought now was a good time to bring this up, since we’re talking about all this.

Definitely. AI is convenient to look for verse/words, but it's absolutely garbage for interpretation

a little lesson The test isn’t what we have, but how we view what we have—and what we prioritize. Jehovah provided for Israel in dramatic fashion—raining down quail until the camp was overflowing. But the miracle revealed more than just divine generosity. It exposed hearts. Some gathered obsessively, driven by selfish craving. The issue wasn’t the meat itself. It was the mindset. That lesson still holds. Greed isn’t exclusive to those with wealth. It can grip the poor too—those who are constantly longing, constantly comparing, constantly discontent. Jehovah didn’t condemn the act of collecting quail; He condemned the spirit behind it. (Num. 11:31–34) Whether our fridge is full or our bank account is bare, greed whispers the same lie: “You don’t have enough. You need more.” But Jesus flips that script. He urges us to store up treasures in heaven—to measure wealth by closeness to God, not by abundance of things. (Matt. 6:19–20; Luke 16:9) Greed is never just about money. It’s about trust. Do we trust Jehovah to give what we truly need? Reference The Watchtower (Study Edition), March 2025, Article 13, ¶8 👉 Read on JW.org

Hey Greg, a penny for your thoughts? Oh, wait, never mind...

388, I hope.

Before, we said we might not know if the cry of P&S was real until BtG was destroyed, but now we are also looking for the UN to get power. With both signs being fulfilled all but together, we might legitimately have time for a special campaign before the destruction of BtG. This sounds exciting! I wonder if they already have a magazine written up and ready to print.

Yes brother, those dead people there are the living in the new world.

That will make pennyless people less depressed 🤣🤣🤣

The Bible says Jesus is the judge of all the dead, not just those who died after Jesus lived. No one comes to Jehovah except through Christ. All those in the memorial tombs wlll hear Jesus voice. (John 14:6) 6 Jesus said to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=nwtsty&srctype=wol&bible=43014006&srcid=share (John 5:28) 28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=nwtsty&srctype=wol&bible=43005029&srcid=share (Acts 10:42) 42 Also, he ordered us to preach to the people and to give a thorough witness that this is the one decreed by God to be judge of the living and the dead. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=nwtsty&srctype=wol&bible=44010042&srcid=share (Romans 14:9) 9 For to this end Christ died and came to life again, so that he might be Lord over both the dead and the living. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=nwtsty&srctype=wol&bible=45014009&srcid=share (2 Corinthians 5:10) 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of the Christ, so that each one may be repaid according to the things he has practiced while in the body, whether good or bad. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=nwtsty&srctype=wol&bible=47005010&srcid=share (2 Timothy 4:1) 4 I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his manifestation and his Kingdom: https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=nwtsty&srctype=wol&bible=55004001&srcid=share

She sure loved it! It tastes like a mix of chicken and fish...especially when cooked in soups or stews, where spices can soak up the meat . Yeah, some turtles aren't worth eating... just let it pass...😪

What do you call a snail with a sail? A snailor!

being a moon moon/senseless/silly/mindless/etc or just doing nothing...kinda like what im doing now, just being a derp

If the 'blind guides' of the world are relying on AI, and we know for sure that Satan disguises himself as an 'angel of light'. What level of risk might this techno;ogy pose for those who use it? Can we always tell the difference?

I am currently using Perplexity because I have promotional access to the Pro version for a year, and I am very satisfied with the results it provides. The most impressive feature is the quality of search results for current events, for example. Additionally, you can choose which model to use if you wish. At the moment, I highly recommend giving it a try.

Sometimes I delete my social media apps for a week or so, because I've found sometimes the content can bring my mood down. I agree forums are not like social media. Social media is designed to keep you addicted to scrolling indefinitely. It can lower focus and attention span, and can negatively influence our thinking when we overconsume it. A forum allows for more long form, nuanced ideas and arguments requiring more critical thinking to read as well as write.

whisper-desktop gives a simple interface to transcribe audio to text. I've had good results with the medium model. The tiny model doesn't work. The 2023 RC Fri AM 1 720P file with audio of 1:51:16 took 34 mins 48 sec using the medium model. My PC has an AMD Ryzen 5-5600G CPU with integrated Radeon graphics. Example of the debug console while transcribing. Task manager showing how the Radeon graphics GPU is heavily loaded while the CPU is idling when transcribing:
