  1. Past hour
  2. Bunker Hill day will be observed this week to remember an event in the 18th century, however, the so called Battle of Bunker Hill occurred on Breed's Hill, and resulted in the Bunkert HIl monument.
  3. Impressive persons are followed by their impressive memories and results.
  4. Glory is great praise and honor that someone receives for doing something impressive.
  5. Today
  6. Never have i ever worn team colors to a meeting, but I happened to have my clothes ready for today, which included the color orange. That color happens to be one of two related to a NY team. just coincidence.
  7. Right now it's 83 F. It has been in the 90s this week, felt warmer. Made sure the temp was okay indoors, for my dog, before meeting. Just got home and she seems fine. Hope you had a good Sunday, whatever your temp.
  8. I wonder what brother Malcolm did after that I could only find his obituary https://fr.findagrave.com/memorial/85509011/malcolm_cameron-rutherford
  9. Not that it helps with the screen minimize/maximize issue but, we have found that NOT checking the 'Optimize for Video' gets rid of those gray boxes that show up in Zoom depending on where the mouse is sitting or moved across.
  10. Malcom Rutherford's picture is from the 1911 Convention Report on page 23. This report had dozens of pictures of those who traveled with CT Russell on the train that year. The selected picture is in the bottom right.
  11. That makes sense and as always after using a new feature for a while modifications will be made. I see no reason why the whole BofE should not be able to have viewing rights to the announcements as that also makes sense since as a FSG overseer and missing the midweek meeting for whatever reason, no additional communication needs to take place as he can answer questions from his FSG members.
  12. According to my understanding, whoever is scheduled as chairman in NWS will see the announcements when he clicks on his chairman assignment in NWP, assuming the coordinator utilizes the function of chairman notes for announcements. However if that first brother is then replaced by a second brother who is now assigned has the new chairman in NWS the second brother will see the announcements in his NWP app.
  13. We were wondering if there’s anything else besides moving something onto the second monitor that could trigger the minimizing issue. That’s why we were hoping to see if any brothers have figured anything else out over the last few years. When we do maximize the media window, (it’s the same thing that jwlmediawin does when it opens up), that’s when we can’t get rid of the large screen indicator numbers. So we’d rather not maximize that window if possible, but then we sometimes have the problem of it constantly minimizing when we touch just about anything.
  14. Thanks for the clarification as I only quoted from what was posted here. is that correct?
  15. You can't allow any Zoom windows to launch on or go onto the monitor with JW Library to prevent the minimizing. During the times you have to use dual monitor mode in Zoom settings, this is basically inevitable and you have to deal with it on the fly. You might try double clicking the JW Library second screen when it goes into Exclusive Full Screen mode on the second monitor to take it out of Full Screen Mode, then Maximizing it. There's not much to be done about it otherwise. I don't remember how to get rid of the display numbers. :<
  16. I use it, but sparingly. So far, I have not noticed any issues with it.
  17. Something similar happened yesterday. The scheduled speaker suddenly showed up in NWP as Unknown. I noticed that our COBE used NWS Mobile that morning so I wonder if that caused a sync issue. Has anyone used NWS Mobile?
  18. Proclaimers book page 89 (subheading…”Closing Days of J.F. Rutherford) …footnote on bottom of page Footnote * Brother Rutherford was survived by his wife, Mary, and their son, Malcolm. Because Sister Rutherford had poor health and found the winters in New York (where the Watch Tower Society’s headquarters were located) difficult to endure, she and Malcolm had been residing in southern California, where the climate was better for her health. Sister Rutherford died December 17, 1962, at the age of 93. Notice of her death, appearing in the Monrovia, California, Daily News-Post, stated: “Until poor health confined her to her home, she took an active part in the ministerial work of Jehovah’s Witnesses.”
  19. New problem with public talk. Requested speaker with a shared congregation but it did not fill in information on talk schedule? Any ideas?
  20. Do we still own buildings located in Brooklyn? Or did we sell them all...?

  22. Yes we have turned the green box off, which helps a lot. But still see the large number. Before we downloaded jwlmediawin, sometimes things would work fine but many times we seemed to have no control over keeping jwl media screen in the right place. Even admitting someone into zoom during the first song could steal the screen from our Kingdom Hall tvs
  23. This is not correct. The notes are attached to the Chairman Assignment, not to a person. The notes will show for whoever is assignmed as Chairman on the CLM Schedule.
  24. its pilot program in testing phase so I guess a lot of things are still being smoothed out

    • 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

      Is jw_pressroom on IG legit? Friends I know are liking a post on and following it. There is nothing officially on our Press Room page nor is it in our News page or a headline about it. I’m treating as junk but does anyone have details?

      It's time for me to take a break from JWTalk for just a bit. We have our Regional Convention starting tomorrow! For those of us confined to watching the convention on a screen (rather than in person), at least they give us a choice of watching the recorded version from the US, or the live streamed version of our own convention (with the local brothers doing the parts). Because of the convention, I likely won't have time to peek in here at all.
       
      So, enjoy the weekend everyone!
