    Are you about 120 publishers? If so the 2900 would be 24 months of reports.
  3. Gary P started following NW Scheduler/Publisher - Updates, Support, and Suggestions

    We did the same. As administrator I asked everyone to do any of their scheduling tasks before 3:00 pm Sunday. Then I updated nd gave the all clear for everyone else to do so. So far 8.2 working ok. One weird thing though, after I updated it sent nearly 2900 publisher records, so I haven’t figured that one out yet.

    So young 😭

    Same here. I had requested that all the shared Brothers wait until today so we could all update at the same time or at least on the same day. But one brother updated yesterday for whatever reason. So when I logged on yesterday I was greeted with the same message you mentioned and I was forced to update if I wanted to use the app. Thankfully nearly all of us are now updated to version 8.2 except for one brother who is on vacation.

    I see the wisdom in staying off social media if one can afford to. Myself, it was barely a week ago or so that I deactivated my X (Twitter account), and I am not on Tiktok, Facebook, Telegram or Instagram. A few days ago, I saw the whiteboard animation about social media come up on JW Library, and I could relate to the points discussed, as those were the very reasons for which I had earlier decided to stay off X (Twitter) and the likes. I ended up thanking Jehovah and the Slave in my heart, as it truly was food at the proper time for me. The only social media resources I have now are WhatsApp and JWTalk (if one can refer to those as social media), and I'm okay with those. So if one can afford to stay off, by all means!

    Monday, June 29 To the extent we have made progress, let us go on walking orderly in this same course.—Phil. 3:16. After reviewing the qualifications to serve as elders, some ministerial servants might feel that they could never qualify. But remember that neither Jehovah nor his organization expects you to display these qualities perfectly. (1 Pet. 2:21) And it is Jehovah’s powerful spirit that helps you to develop these qualifications. (Phil. 2:13) Is there a particular quality that you would like to improve on? Pray to Jehovah about it. Research the topic, and ask one of the elders for suggestions on how to improve. Reach out! Ask Jehovah to train and mold you to be even more useful in serving him and the congregation. (Isa. 64:8) May Jehovah richly bless your efforts to qualify to serve as an elder. w24.11 25 ¶17-18

    Costco this morning was $5.05 for regular. That's a lot lower than it was.

    Over here in the UK I know that we absented our children in our family from religious education. Not just our family, but the usual response was to arrange for our children to be excused. This was true also during morning assembly, when our children went into the school library and either did school word or their own family worship preparation (yes, back in the day we also had family worship, even though we had two midweek meetings).
  13. Antonellina bookmarked a post in a topic Do you save your old notes from conventions and assemblies?
  14. Floyd
    This is for NWS.
  15. Floyd
    I think I got the message that said something about another brother in the congregation had updated so then I was force to update. But according to the sharing screen nobody else had updated. Did I read that wrong? No way for me to go back and see the message.

    We are now over 900K on Instagram and almost 160K on TikTok.

    Bible was one of the set books in Polish classes in my high school. (In Poland classes of Polish include lots of things: World literature, Polish literature, grammar, vocabulary, usage etc). - I did score some good grades - some things told were right - some things told were absurd (like my teacher saying that she pities Judas because he had no choice but to betray Jesus) - I could use it to give a witness (and to some degree I did) but I wasn’t comfortable enough to straighten up all misinterpretations and errors in the textbook or made by the teacher
  18. Michał
    No, I don’t think so. 1. Pilot is only in English because of it doesn’t work less resources were used. 2. News outlets link quite often to sources in other languages if there are no official translation/statement in English.

    WOW! Good that they had infrastructure ready to run the program online only from Bethel with that number online! Last year the Sunday attendance was: with: WATCH: Last year's final song at the National Heroes Stadium!, excerpt: https://jwtalk.net/topic/61276-pure-worship-convention/#comment-1062842 Shame it was missed this year, but obviously a good call to go online ... what is next week's convention at the same Stadium expected to be like?

    Here is a TV news, from outside the Stadium today :-0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPGYRPKEfrc

    This is very sad, until when, Jehovah! Brothers killed, victims of the earthquake in Venezuela.

    The English convention was the first of three taking place over consecutive weekends at the National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka, Zambia. The other two being in the Cinyanja and Cibemba languages:
  23. Parale
    FWIW the Bethel is an approximate 45 minute car drive from the stadium - a 22 km / 14 mile journey https://maps.app.goo.gl/mjLnDfxnwUjsNzSc8

    The place of the town market was the public square (otherwise it would be more like a privately owned shopping mall). Most of current social media is also privately owned. For more thinking about the consequences I can recommend: - https://yalelawjournal.org/essay/beyond-the-public-square-imagining-digital-democracy (for a US centric explanation, relevant because of western BigSocial being US corporations) - https://journalism.university/social-media-and-society/social-media-public-sphere-theory/ for a critique about the analogy

    Doesn’t it seem a little ironic that they announced the pilot would be exclusively in english, but now they posted at least 2 German language articles 🙊
  26. Isaac Lupupa
    They where all at bethel, including those that took part in the watchtower summary
  27. Brandon
    That’s interesting. So where are the speakers located?
  28. truce
    Be careful - as it would be foolish to go on the Internet for the purpose of debating or fighting with apostates.

      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.”

      I think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)

      There were many JW artists I followed on Instagram, they created beautiful Christian illustrations. But for some reason many deleted their accounts out of the blue, no trace left.
       
      I don't know why and it makes me very sad
