JW Trivia Quest

[Tortuga]

This game is to find fun trivia about the organization and publications.

 

How were the WT magazine pages numbered and when did it change? 

[coolbrz731]

15 minutes searching wol and my brain's burning.  I've learned a lot, but not the answer to that question.  Maybe a little hint?

[Tortuga]

Here is an easy one. Which book of the Bible uses Jehovah's name the most? How many times is it used?

[coolbrz731]

Psalms - 700 times. 

 

Fun fact - when I asked chatgpt how many times the lords name was used in Psalms, it referenced jw.org in its search.

when I asked chatgpt

 

One problem with Chatgpt:

you can use ChatGPT for free -- for now. Since the natural language processing model is still in its research and "learning" preview phase, people can use it for free; you only need to register for a free OpenAI account, though there is an option to upgrade to a paid membership

 

Why can't you just use it like you do Google and other search engines ...

 

Now, back to the original topic:

 

Which is the shortest Bible book?

I quizzed chatgpt after I answered the question on wol just to see how it answered the question.  I was surprised to see how it referenced jw.org first, and got the answer right thanks to jw.org.  

 

Hmm...should I add a screenshot of asking chatgpt that question to "mess with" Qapla?? 🙃

Hah!  This time ChatGPT didn't use jw.org and got it wrong!!  The quote from the May 2017 watchtower is included in the screenshot, which has the correct answer.  3 John.

Are you sure about that?

Thought I was using deductive reasoning.  <Sigh>.  Back to research...

[Tortuga]

Chatbots are tools that can be helpful but lets leave chatbots out of this topic and see what we can learn from doing our own research.

Good question.

There are the old classics, what are the longest and shortest chapters in the Bible?

I'm doubling down on Psalms.  I keep seeing Psalms mentioned in my research as an example of Jehovah's name being used.  Not really seeing any other books used as examples.

Im not sure that I have the correct answer but if you use the WT library to look up Jehovah it shows it is in Psalms 780 times. That includes about 30 times it is used in the footnotes.

I thought only the volumes did that.  I'm too young to have a watchtower that old.  Well, my mom didn't keep watchtowers past a few years old because she had the bound volumes.  Thanks for giving me some trivia to pass along.

Its fun to reference an older WT and tell someone to look at page 123 or 567...🤣
