We use T-Door. Very basic to use, and it is not computer operated (as yet). If the speaker has gone overtime, we pull a lever and the trap door under the speaker feet opens up and down the drop into the abyss.

I just got up before the another storm came in. Whew! The life I go through.

I'm on 15.7 on android and it allows for "side loading" jwpub files (not official ones)

Only in version 15.5 and older. The December 2025 update (version 15.6) started enforcing the digitally signed JWPUB's.

So no longer possible to use old costum jwpub files?

I was updating the Local Needs part for this week to the Ramapo video. I would like to include the 3 questions in the "description" under the title area of the Local Needs when creating the part, but I see it doesn't show up on the App anywhere. Is there a way to do this so the friends will be aware of the questions ahead of time before watching the video at the meeting? I do see the questions show up on the App on the individual assignment for the brother giving the part but not in general for the friends...

JW Library has recently removed support for user-generated or custom JWPUB files. Currently (since November or December last year) all JWPUB files on JW.org are digitally signed and JW Library fails to open any JWPUB file that does not have a valid signature. That signature is loaded in the Comment field of the ZIP container, labeled JASPER and stored as a Base64 string.

Here is one possibility if you recently changed your map provider. I learned this while doing mapping in OpenStreetMap. The actual maps used by the different satellite sources do not always have the exact same reference points. Sometimes in OpenStreetMap we might change from one satellite image to another for clarity. In some cases, switching to the different image caused all the roads and houses to shift slightly. So you had to compensate by 'tweaking' the reference coordinates slightly. Actually, now that I think about it, the same could be true if Mapbox updated the satellite image in your region with a slightly different reference point. Your address locations were fixed in place and did not move, but the map under them moved slightly.

Jw videos and pics are neutral.. There are countries that are more conservative. Some culture are ok with shorts and some cultures are not yet....Ex in Myanmar, people wear thick clothes like skirts not short when getting baptized.In Europe, swimsuit is ok.

So no more shorts to the basement, only pants 😅

And they're wearing pants. They talked about spiritual things.

A good storm just woke me up. Well, at least it was not Armageddon. I just letting you all know I’m ok. I think. Over and out.

Link please 🤗

Wednesday, March 11 You need endurance.—Heb. 10:36. Hebrew Christians would have to endure tests of their faith as conditions in Judea deteriorated. Although some Hebrew Christians had faced intense persecution, many had accepted Christianity during a period of relative peace. The apostle Paul mentioned that although they had endured difficult tests of faith, they had not thus far suffered as Jesus did, that is, to the point of death. (Heb. 12:4) With the spread of Christianity, however, the Jewish opposers were becoming increasingly bitter and fanatical. Just a few years earlier, more than 40 Jews “bound themselves with a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.” (Acts 22:22; 23:12-14) Despite such a climate of religious fanaticism and hatred, those Christians would still need to meet for worship, preach the good news, and keep themselves strong in the faith. w24.09 12 ¶15

Hi Tim, I hope the following thoughts help when you contemplate the questions you are struggling with. So, not just principles, but Jehovah’s laws also, give us deep insight into the wise and loving thinking of the Grand Lawgiver! Any law from Jehovah, actually comes with principles wrapped inside it!!! So when Jehovah gave ancient Israel a specific law, He was giving them certain principles also, which were imbedded in that specific law (Ex) When Jesus was asked to summarize the entire Law, he gave the 2 greatest principles from inside the Law that involved love So really then, it is not Principles vs Laws. It is love for Jehovah’s principles AND laws. 😍 While Bible principles are fundamental truths Jehovah’s Laws are based on those truths and are needed for specific circumstances. No wonder the Psalmist said, “How I do love your law! I ponder over* it all day long.” You were asking questions about what it would be like for you, if you had been an Israelite? Good meditation! I think that Israel could be compared to a child. Spiritually speaking. Why do I say that? Today we have 66 “vaults” or books of Jehovah’s great wisdom! Israel did not have any spiritual books, scrolls, until the 10 Commandments. So this young “child” needed laws quickly! Those laws helped Israel greatly and protected them. And as an Israelite, you would have loved those laws, why? Because like King Asa, you would have searched for God, you have today, and rooted out apostasy in Judah. Because you would have studied deeply God’s laws, like you do today, and you would have meditated on them, which would have strengthened your love for what is good and your hatred for what is bad! If you had been a Israelite in the first century, after the Messiah had come to Israel, you would have heard the Apostle Paul tell you and all his fellow Jews something like this: I love that expression! By the Jews having learned Jehovah’s divine laws ”…such ones had the advantage of possessing a “framework of the knowledge and of the truth” concerning Jehovah and his righteous principles. So my conclusion about Tim is this: Tim loves Jehovah Tim loves to study the deeper aspects of Jehovah’s laws & principles. Tim cares deeply about how his Father Jehovah views him and so he strives to be a man of integrity despite struggling with the ugly self-doubts that are inside many of us, including myself! And Tim has a great advantage! Because he digs and digs to find Jehovah’s precious gems, Tim has the advantage of possessing the now advanced “framework of the knowledge and of the truth” concerning Jehovah and his righteous principles! Therefore, Tim will always be growing spiritually and in faith too because he will… ….always do his best to confront any “private doubts”, “frustrations” or "private" sins and he will slowly strip them away with Jehovah’s help because Tim will always be striving to put on the beautiful “New Personality’ made in the image of our wonderful Father ….always do his best to work on erasing, deleting, destroying any wrong feelings that have arisen that “criticize” those taking the lead And he will always “survive without encouragement from others” if necessary, because although we like encouragement and love from others, yearn for it even, Tim’s faith will continue growing due to the encouragement and love from just 1 person! From Jehovah, whose encouragement and love far outweighs 8 million fellow brothers/sisters!

Right at this moment it's okay. But the forecast is telling us we've got freezing rain coming tomorrow, for about 24 hours. , this is not something I'm looking forward to! Is it going to be like it was almost three years ago?

It's ai.

I always include basement videos in my personal study.

Dear friends, We are experiencing an issue with the territory maps. The address pins are displaying in the wrong locations on both the Desktop software and the mobile app. Previously, these pins were perfectly centered over the houses, as we had manually adjusted their coordinates. However, we recently noticed that several pins have shifted slightly to the left or right. I have attached a screenshot demonstrating this displacement. Current settings: NW Scheduler Territory Settings - Map Overlay: Mapbox Satellite - Geocoding Provider: Mapbox NW Publisher app Display Settings - Map Overlay: Google Maps Satellite Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks in advance.
