  1. Past hour
  2. Hello everyone, recently I saw a friend open two jwlibrary apps on their iPad at the same time. They can display them side by side in split-screen mode, which is very convenient. This way, you can view both the data and the content without having to scroll back. Additionally, you can also check multilingual resources simultaneously, which is really very convenient. Does anyone know how it's done? If only our organization could natively support this feature.

  5. I think a great many things will become clear post Armageddon.
  6. This subject of the great crowd being children or not has been something I have been paying attention to for about ten years. Frankly there have been conflicting things said in broadcast talks and watchtowers about this. Sometimes within months of each other. I feel there is likely going to be further clarification at some point in the future. I’m looking forward to getting a chance to watch this broadcast and hear directly what was said. And if that happens I can’t help but see other understanding about the great crowd especially post Armageddon become clearer.
  7. o yes that was the only question I felt a REAL need to ask 🤣🤣🤣🤣 They had the room set up with an intercom & the nurse said just speak loud enough for me to hear and I’ll come and unhook you. she just had a couple things to unplug and I dragged 🤣🤣🤣 the rest with me. it’s gonna be a long 2 weeks to wait for the results.
  8. After giving it some thought and reading the help formats I did the following. 1) comple the months branch report for the congregation. 2) Submit the April report to branch. 3) Took a screenshot of the April report- individual publishers file and saved it. 4) Restored the last good news backup before all the updates (around April 10th) Which would overwrite the April report I just did. That was the purpose of the screenshot. 5) From the screenshot, input all the April data that was overwritten. 6)after confirming data was put in correctly make a backup of that and apply it to all my other windows computers. That's how I solved the missing 4 pioneers whose data was erased from those updates or some other administrator who didn't apply all the updates before closing the nws app. I hope this helps others.
  9. Yesterday
  10. I've had one of those sleep tests - thought they would never quit attaching wires. Makes it a bit difficult to go to the restroom in the middle of the night
  11. Back in April I picked up a sleep kit that I wore for the night. The results came back that I stopped breathing a couple times and my oxygen dropped to 88% one time. The kit wasn’t designed to figure out if one had sleep apnea or not so… I went to the hospital last night to do a sleep study. Good grief, they put sticky patches wires) everywhere plus had 2 belts put around me. One to check how the chests rises and falls and one around the abdomen (?). Felt like Frankenstein coming to life, when the nurse was taking all the patches and wires off. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Anyway, what started all this was I questioned something on my bloodwork. The doctor said it was a symptom of sleep apnea, I’m trying to figure out why even tho I sleep well at night, I still feel exhausted when I wake up. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has had to go thru something like this to get answers. Sorry for the long post.
  12. Streamed day two of Regional Convention;so many lessons from the words and experiences of Jesus. I think the count in attendance was two thousand. The Baptism talk and some of the Baptisms were covered, but I didn't catch if any from my cong were Baptized today. Sent a question to my group organizer, so I should know soon.
  13. Wasn't that the plot of "Contact"? It's been years since I've seen the film, but I remember them building a craft which crossed an Einstein-Rosen bridge and found these...beings that were almost pure light. You're in Nevada. How's Area 51 these days?
  14. Sunday, May 10 Can anyone deny water to prevent these from being baptized?—Acts 10:47. What helped Cornelius to get baptized? We read that he “feared God together with all his household.” And Cornelius made supplication to God continually. (Acts 10:2) When Peter declared the good news to Cornelius, he and his family accepted Christ and promptly got baptized. (Acts 10:47, 48) Cornelius was no doubt willing to make whatever adjustments were required of him so that he could worship Jehovah together with his family. (Josh. 24:15; Acts 10:24, 33) Cornelius could have allowed his position to prevent him from becoming a Christian. But he did not allow that to happen. Does accepting the truth require that you make significant changes in your life? If so, Jehovah will be your Helper. He will bless your determination to serve him in harmony with Bible principles. w25.03 5 ¶12-13
  15. The verdict was 3 for, 2 against. So not an easy victory. The arguments are worth a read if you can wade through 38 pages, The finding "for" was notably evidence based or, more correctly, lack of evidence based, because the opposition lacked real evidence and relied heavily on quoting statements from older jw publications, inferring and extrapolating rather than proving their case. It seemed to largely rest on the opinion of opposers, not concrete conclusions. Interestingly, the favourable judgement relied on literature statements published 2018 onwards and included quotes from the May 2024 WT. So their information was current. However vocabulary was outdated with the terms "disfellowship(ping)" used extensively, also references to shunning, and exclusion. I didn't note the more recent term "removal" being used. On that basis, I would not conclude that our recent "softening" of the procedures was the sole reason for the favourable decision. I would concede that it did contribute though, as it was noted. There is no denying that we have here a case of Is.54:17 and even a touch of Rev.12:16 .
  16. Yes. We had about 60 publishers reports wiped out for the last 2 years. I was able to successfully restore them from the backup made prior to the 8.1 update.
  17. Why do you think the demons have less power than in Jesus' day?
  18. The study November https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/202026259 I used AI to change the original image because of copyright, but the message shown on TV is still the same. If you want to see true image click the link above.
  19. I think we would have won anyway. Usually, these court cases are dependent on what happened at the time and not based on what happened later.
  20. I just noticed that 3 regular pioneers had all their hours and credit removed after all these updates and changing to the USA- North America server. I wonder is there a way to recover that info from any nw publisher backups that were made or see if the pioneer kept paper records of their activity?
  21. I see many automatically correlate ufo's to spirits but they're just that, "unknown" flying objects... although now they have another name For example one of the disclosures is of the report of Aldrin from Apolo 11 that said he saw an ufo near the moon, or during the trip, but it has been discounted as having rational explanations, He said himself that it should have been a piece of the Saturn V that followed the same rout as theirs. Or it could be the russian projet, Luna 15, that was orbiting the moon at the time For me, none of that is related to demons as I don't believe they are now capable of any physical supernatural manifestions. Our quest with them is spiritual not physical All of those cases have natural explanations whether we know what exactly those are, or not
  22. I loved the music video so much! The gorgeous romanian clothing and culture reminded me a lot of my grandparents Polish background. I'm a violinist and my children love music and animals so the puppy was a sweet touch. Can't wait to watch as a family.
  23. This song of praise to Jehovah comes immediately to my mind when I hear Ps 96:3. We’ve been singing this one for decades. Jehovah Is Our King 1. Rejoice, give glory to Jehovah, For the heavens proclaim all his righteousness. Let us sing to our God joyful songs to his praise; Let us speak to all of his great acts. (CHORUS) Let the heavens rejoice, Let the earth joyful be, For Jehovah has become our King! Let the heavens rejoice, Let the earth joyful be, For Jehovah has become our King! 2. His glory tell among the nations; For Jehovah to us is a God who saves. Yes, Jehovah is King; he deserves all the praise. So we bow before his mighty throne. (CHORUS) Let the heavens rejoice, Let the earth joyful be, For Jehovah has become our King! Let the heavens rejoice, Let the earth joyful be, For Jehovah has become our King! 3. His righteous rule is now established. On his throne, he has placed his anointed Son. Let the gods of this world be brought down and be shamed, For the praise belongs to God alone. (CHORUS) Let the heavens rejoice, Let the earth joyful be, For Jehovah has become our King! Let the heavens rejoice, Let the earth joyful be, For Jehovah has become our King!
  24. Warning on this brothers, as documents begin to be released, it would be wise not to be too curious about spiritism. Just as we would not want to be curious about other activity they do, this is the same. It appears that it isn’t scifi but they actually have the capabilities to create and move objects. After all, we do have a couple examples of their power in the bible, Creating a serpent in front of pharaoh, a “star” after Jesus was born. No matter how crazy things get, we will not be misled, rather shows how close we are to the end

    • Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      My dear, dear brother. You may be physically alone. But you are not alone. Of course you have Jehovah and his invisible family, all there. Then, us in our pitiful state, are here too. Loving you, and praying for you and you dear Cate. 
      Praying for you both dear ones. 
      The best is yet to come, and, yes, just around the corner. 
      In the meantime, Jehovah will see to the two of you. This I know.
      With much love, your sister, Bea

      A very fair rule: If you allow yourself something, then allow it to others as well. If you forbid something to others, then forbid it to yourself as well.
