  1. Past hour
  2. Opening 2 windows and 2 copies of an app is an apple IOS feature. Android devices can also do the same. In this example, its on a cheap Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 Pro tablet. 😁 Mid range android phone have this ability too.
  3. A A brother helped me by introducing me to the benefits of Claude over gemeni. And I am happy to have implemented another 2k lines of far less bug prone code
  4. Many years ago I had a sleep study. I went to a sleep clinic and had wires attached to my head. I slept there one night and about 2 AM I was fitted with a CPAP machine. I was told that I was waking up about 50 times per hour. Not coming completely awake, but just enough for my body to start breathing again. I was totally unaware that I was waking up at all during those times. After the failure of the original CPAP machine, I was told to stop using it. They were supposed to send me a new machine that did not give off poison gas. I waited several months and then talked to a doctor about it. I have a watch that measures oxygen level while I sleep. It showed my oxygen level going below 90% several times at night. I was told by a worker at the medical supply that "sounds like you need oxygen." I didn't bother to try to explain that if I stopped breathing that oxygen would make no difference. After 10 months I finally got a new CPAP from a different company. The original company finally got caught up enough to send me a new CPAP machine. I sent it back and kept using the machine I had recently received. I had told them that I no longer needed a replacement machine, but they sent me one anyway. The second sleep study was done with a small nickel sized device that was taped to my finger. I had to use it 2 nights but was not required to leave home for the test. I mailed the device back and a nurse wrote a prescription. She had the machine set for 20 instead of 10 like the original machine. I struggled to breathe with the machine set so high. They refused to change the pressure until the nurse wrote a new prescription. One thing that should be known about the oxygen meters that are used on the finger. One black woman was constantly showing 98% oxygen level whenever she went to the doctor. She was having health problems, and it was finally figured out that her oxygen level was low. The oxygen meter at the doctor's office read wrong because of her black skin. It would always read 98% but it was not getting good readings. A little off the subject is the So Clean devices. They use a process with ionized air. I could explain it better if I had a better understanding. The So Clean device has never been approved. Is it safe? I don't know. It has never been approved for use by any agency.

  6. Hi Sister Hanna, I have heard of a method to create a "copy" or a duplicate of an app on an Apple device. However I think this requires: either possibly a "Jailbreak" of the iPad or pay Apple to access "Developer Mode" then I guess you have to know which app can copy or duplicate other apps So it is possible to have 2 JW Library apps. But it requires extra work and knowledge. Sorry I wish there was an easier way. I also would love to have 2 copies of JW Library, so that I can put them in Split View for studying. Great idea!
  7. Lot's of New features. 9 languages now supported natively More to come Sorry not 10 as previously mentioned A simple model switch available to Walk The user step by step through a simple merge to help users of All computer literacy levels. Many of The alpha features are merged over to The full release Like the extract and share feature. Also allowing you to see exactly what changes where present and merged between files. Workbook and playlist support has Been addressed. Dark and light mode many new tweaks. Thank you again to all for your patience and please any of your recommendations or or bugs that you have found please let me know
  8. I’m not sure how that sister did it but it seems you can have Split View on iPads either 2 windows of certain apps (JW Library included). My daughters have iPads but this Split View screeen is quite elusive for me.
  9. There are different degrees of apostasy. We’re here not to judge who is within redemption and who isn’t. Satan was perfect, contemporary apostates are imperfect. GB acknowledges apostates can come back:
  10. You assumed right! 😎 I always felt tired, used to think it was of short nights because of little kids. But my wive told my I often stop breathing. Listening for me to resume breathing wasnt good for her sleep either by the way. So went to the doctor and they gave me a recording device for the wrist and a sensor to put on one finger. It just has one patch by the way. It recorded 9 hours of sleep at home and during that time it recorded 60 times a low oxygen level. Turns out, they consider that mild to moderate, but enough to grant me a SomnoDent device. Which puts my lower jaw a couple of mm to the front, leaving enough space in the back for the air flow freely.
  11. 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.

  13. I think a great many things will become clear post Armageddon.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Yesterday
  18. 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
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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?
  22. 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
  23. 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 .
  24. 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.
  25. Why do you think the demons have less power than in Jesus' day?

    • 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.
