Do we still own buildings located in Brooklyn? Or did we sell them all...?

⬆️ better this than 144 years after Establishing Gods kingdom 😅😂🤣😉

We don't use JWLMediaWin. Have you turned off the zoom setting "Show green borders ..." (under share screen setting) I minimise the second zoom window after launching. Only restore it when needed, and afterward minimise again, restore JW Library window.

How thankful we are that the blessing and support that comes from Jehovah is pain free (Prov 10:22). We can be joyful in our heart appreciation, even though our spirit is sorely tested. I take a point from 2Chron 6:29,30 "whatever prayer, whatever request for favor may be made by any man or by all your people Israel (for each one knows his own plague and his own pain) when they spread out their hands toward this house, then may you hear from the heavens, your dwelling place, and may you forgive; and reward each one according to all his ways, for you know his heart". Keep the kingdom smile!

Rutherford had a son????

If the brother is still wearing a tie in 35°C, then deserves a cup of tea. images.mp4

Hello everyone. I know there’s been much discussion on this topic but I haven’t seen anything recently. We’re currently using Zoom and JW Library on a Windows PC with two monitors in our Kingdom Hall. We recently installed JWLMediaWin to work around occasional media-window minimization issues, but we’d prefer to continue using standard JW Library if possible. We have two questions: Has anyone found a reliable solution to prevent the JW Library media window from minimizing, disappearing, or moving unexpectedly when using Zoom with a dual-monitor setup? When using JWLMediaWin, the monitor identification numbers (“1” or “2”) briefly appear on the second display when starting a Zoom screen share. Since that display is shown on our Kingdom Hall TVs, we’d like to avoid the audience seeing those numbers. Has anyone found a way around this? Our goal is simply to have the cleanest and most reliable setup possible for meetings. We’d appreciate hearing what has worked for others.

That's the cacao percentage

Russell had an adopted daughter Rose Ball.

Al Schroeder had a son, Judah Ben Schroeder. The difference about Guy Pierce is that he had kids before he got the truth.

Its possible the person controlling the social media and the one controlling jw. Org could be two different people and they have different life things going on. I wouldnt fret too muchbover this.

NKOPL New kids often play leisurely. VWXTZ

Freight trains were observed at tracks by the end of the street.

Creation demonstrates God's glory.

Thanks. I am amazed by the complex ecosystems in different environments around the world. Some say that animals have evolved or adapted in an imperfect world, but the complex ecosystems convince me that plants and animals were created like this. I think in the New System we will be amazed at how little the plants and animals change.

Br. Guy Pierce (died 2014) of the GB was married and had children. Br. Rutherford's son was Malcom (see photograph). He was Br. Russell's personal secretary or stenographer.

Ai Learned How the Universe Works—and That Created an Unexpected Problem for Physicists By Gayoung Lee 11 June 2026 3:05 pm When it comes to physics, Ai seems to be as bound by prior biases as human scientists. When cosmology makes headlines, we often see fancy images of cosmic maps and supernovas. But in reality, scientists have to sift through hundreds or thousands of calculations and simulations for months or years. In an effort to reduce this burden, some scientists have turned to Ai — but, as a new study finds, the pros and cons are quite nuanced... In a study published earlier this month in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, cosmologists trained an AI neural network on simulations of ΛCDM—the standard model of cosmology (hereafter the standard model). Then, the team tested whether this pre-training would help or hurt the AI’s subsequent investigations into other outstanding problems in cosmology and astrophysics. Although the AI did show some promise, it developed biases that ended up being detrimental to finding new physics. [ED: Another reminder of how little we know. These 'best calculated guesses' still have no answers...] Article link: https://gizmodo.com/ai-learned-how-the-universe-works-and-that-created-an-unexpected-problem-for-physicists-2000770643

"If all brothers know how to use this feature" Haven't found that congregation yet where brothers know how to make use of already existing NWP app features. It basically boils down who or what is the lowest common denominator. Some of our elders are tech challenged and they live in the paper world while others bring their laptop to the lectern and you stare either at an HP, Dell or Apple logo as they read from the screen. The optics are not very flattering. Whatever happened to skilled oratory? Whatever it takes to present a professional appearance on the platform that instills confidence in the audience is what I prefer. COBEs have it difficult enough already and some deserve saving time while discharging their job. Most of the ones who I know in our kingdom hall of several congregations prefer to stay either with office apps in either the Apple or Windows eco system rather then working out of the NWS or NWP app. As far as a new chairman, my understanding is that the notes are in the personal profile of the old chairman and only visible to him, the COBE would now have to transfer them to the new chairman's profile. We are an organization of preachers who love the in person field service. We have to remind ourselves that we are not an organization busy with programming and hardware. Time is our most precious commodity and having made my living in the IT world I know how it can be squandered on projects. People are important not things. Added to that it has been my experience that those who embrace the tech solutions will sooner or later experience the frustration when others ignore notifications, reminders of duties and assignments or not having set up their devices or program settings to be part of the congregation's work flow and you hear the words "I am old school and I know I have to do better" and the next thing is you are the congregation's tech support rather then the Field Service Group's support.

ED: I am constantly reminded how little humans know. Yet, there are some humans who are convinced that complex processes - so sophisticated our best scientists are unable to resolve what they see - are convinced this all happened by chance and accident. Yet how would a plant survive for millenniums, waiting till this system eventually worked??? Enjoy the science. Ignore the false claims How do Venus flytraps work? New study sheds light on cellular mechanisms By Ellen Phiddian Thu 11 Jun. ABC (Australia) Science "This raises the intriguing possibility that complex systems that have evolved to maintain cellular functions may have been further deployed in the evolution of complex systems to trap prey," she said.

Actually, I know brother Morris has two sons and daughters in law. But he's not on the Governing Body anymore. Some governing body members in the past have had children. There was one who they said had great grand children at the time of his death but I can't think of his name. Further in the past when the President of the Watchtower Society took the lead, brother Joseph Rutherford had a grown son who I believe was also a Witness.

Well, some members of the governing body have adult kids. But I don't think brother Herd does, lol.

Young'un! 😀

Bro Herd is your?...never mind. 😁

Bro Herd is your father-in-law?!? 😁
