  3. What have U.S. allies and China said about sending ships to the Strait of Hormuz to support the United States? China, NATO, South Korea, and Japan basically respond, This is not our war. Nobody is ready to put their people in harm's way in the Strait of Hormuz." Donald Trump has said the United States does not need Nato after being rebuffed by a number of the organisation’s member countries over his appeal for a multi-national naval force to reopen the key strait of Hormuz trade route closed by Iran. Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office, the US president described the rejection of his calls as a “very foolish mistake”, adding without evidence: “Everyone agrees with us, but they don’t want to help. And we, you know, we as the United States have to remember that because we think it’s pretty shocking.” Trump says US does not need Nato after being rebuffed over strait of Hormuz | US-Israel war on Iran | The Guardian
  4. It's so sad and heart wreching to me what is happening to our dear brothers and sisters in Russia. I always read the news articles about them on our site, but recently, it really hit home when I saw a couple from Russia visited our KH. They were so genuine about the truth, I could tell by their spiritual hunger even though there was a language barrier. They haven't been able to use any of the publications on our literature counter. The brother was literally SMELLING our meeting invitation and jw.org cards. I am making it a goal to pray more frequently and personally for them. 🙏❤️
  5. It may have to do with location, we tend to like the Jaguars ... but then, they are the local team
  6. Well done, Gretel! No matter what the circumstances of her life are, since she's willing to attend the Memorial make her feel welcome and loved. We never know the effect love can have in people.
  7. Here's your drawing! I'll do the next one in the afternoon or tomorrow.
  8. I know it's off-season but a lot of brothers and even sisters ( like me) are talking about football and who they traded. My favorite team is the 49ers.
  9. After praying, studying, and talking to the elders, we decided to try to invite my sister in law to the memorial and she said yes and said sorry. We will limit out time we spend with her because she is a lbgtq member, but besides it's under control. Thank you for helping us.
  10. I think so as well. Shutting off the Internet for everyone is nuts. Desperation. Ukraine seems to have the advantage in the war. Russia has lost well over a million troops. They increased the age for conscription, they take from the prisons. Something is going to give.
  11. For the past 1 and half year Putin or the KOTN are suffering a blow. Their allies (Syria, Venezuela, Iran and now Cuba) have buckled mainly against the KOFS. If Putin wants to set back and thinks he going to win the war against God's people can keep up dreaming.
  12. I've noticed this same issue on several systems for at least a couple of years. I'm unable to change the music/video folder locations from within JW Library on most newer Windows 11 computers, such as this desktop. On my previous desktop, I used to house the media files on a separate drive, but it was also glitched. I believe I had to move my user music/video folder locations within Windows. Running JW Library as Admin doesn't help. Dunno what to do about it. I'm not a fan of UWP apps. All I can offer is my respect for using Everything. 😺
  13. Workarounds that actually work 1. Use a symbolic link (best workaround) You can “trick” Windows into storing files somewhere else: Move the JW Library data folder to another drive (e.g., D:) Create a symbolic link pointing back to the original location Example (Command Prompt as admin): mklink /D "C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Packages\...\LocalState" "D:\JWLibraryData" Step-by-step 1. Move the folder Move your current folder to E: From: C:\Users\tjdav\Videos\JWLibrary To: E:\JWLibrary After moving, the folder should no longer exist in C:\Users\tjdav\Videos 2. Open Command Prompt as Administrator Press Start Type cmd Right-click → Run as administrator 3. Create the symbolic link Run this command: mklink /D "C:\Users\tjdav\Videos\JWLibrary" "E:\JWLibrary" What this does JW Library thinks files are still in: C:\Users\tjdav\Videos\JWLibrary But Windows redirects everything to: E:\JWLibrary How to confirm it worked If you open: C:\Users\tjdav\Videos You’ll see JWLibrary with a shortcut icon Important tips Don’t delete the link (or JW Library will break) Always keep drive E: connected Don’t rename the E:\JWLibrary folder after linking Do the same with C:\Users\tjdav\Music\JWLibrary
  14. Top US counterterrorism official resigns over Iran war and urges Trump to 'reverse course'. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg4g66r3z40o
  15. The fact that Russia has done away with any apps that keep people in communication with each other there and abroad tells me that something will probably "give" soon. I have a feeling that most of our brothers and sisters there were using What's App and Telegraph apps for meetings and to encourage one another. They still haven't broken even one of us there, they have been failing for close to 9 years now to "stop us" and our "extremism". All they are doing is filling their prisons with people who will preach their message to prisoners and guards and anyone else they can. Not even the thought of getting out of prison if you join the military works on our brothers and sisters there. If Putin had hair, he would of pulled it all out by now dealing with such a stubborn group of people that he has found out that he can't control.
  16. Something is going to happen: https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/17/middleeast/uss-tripoli-marines-middle-east-iran-intl
  17. Opps! forgot what computer I'm on (I have 2 connected with a kvm). Here's what the computer I'm concerned about looks llike - and the folder I wish to be using is there):
  18. Yes! How 'bout a Lizard? Please and Thank You! We're from the high desert. Desert Iguana's are adorable!
  19. I followed your suggestion (thank you) and found this: Thare's 16 locations - none where I wish.
  20. Thenk you for responding. Yes, F:\Videos\JWLibrary exists. Since I described the problem, I relocated the system Video location to E:\Videos and the JWLibray videos to E:\Videos\JWLibray and the similar idea for music. However, this is where JWLibrary now thinks where the media belongs: These are the standard location for media, but I wanted to use another drive and save space on my C drive. JWLibrary will not let me change the location. When I click on the down symbol, this is what happens: The down indicator dissappears but the browse boc does not open. Same for the music folder.
  21. Not a silly question at all — it’s a very fair one 😊 On a public Trello board, you can view everything, but you can’t directly comment or add suggestions unless you have access (and an account). To make it easier for everyone, I’ve set up a simple workaround: you can send your suggestions by email to jonathan.jasper9+trello@gmail.com. Those emails are automatically turned into cards and will appear in the Suggestions column on the board. Feel free to share your thoughts there!
  22. Actually not true. She can use the same CO id as her husband on her phone. Think of it as if he had 2 devices with same account. This gives her access to all the schedules and the territory functions.
  23. It is very easy to make these sorts of things. You can buy most of the hardware - badges, keyrings, etc. - from places like eBay, Temu, Shein, Amazon etc. The pictures can be designed on your PC at home using either a desktop program like Word or an online one like Avery or Canva and printed out on cardstock.
  24. The translation file shows duties for the Memorial. So we are expecting that option in the next update. Likely shortly after the 20th. So next week?

    • 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.”

      One summer from the local forest fires, I ended up with pneumonia. I went to the clinic, they gave me a Z-Pak. Even then, when I went outside, mind you in the summertime, I’d end up with bronchitis. And I couldn’t get rid of it. I figured I’d die. I was in my late 70s and I couldn’t get rid of what I considered to be something pretty serious..
      I had a horrible experience at a Bible study with someone in the house burned a piece of toast. I could only bring it wanted to do the dash for the door. 
      We are out town, at the local health food store. I went to the health food area and told the lady what I was going through and did she have any suggestions. She told me to try oil of oregano. In two days I got my lungs back. 
      If I think I’m gonna go to the clinic and they’re gonna give me an antibiotic for whatever, I drag out the oil of oregano.
      It’s a broad spectrum, antibiotic, and you need to do research so you know how to use it. But I tell you I think it’s wonderful.
      Love, Bea

      Nothing is real.
      I’m actually really glad it exists.
       
      You know what’s amazing?
      Nothing.
       
      If nothing didn’t exist, we’d have a real problem.
       
      I’ve been thinking about nothing a lot lately.
      It might be the most important thing there is.
       
      I don’t think people appreciate nothing nearly enough.
       
      It’s funny… the more I think about nothing, the more incredible it seems.
       
      You ever stop and think how much nothing there is?
       
      Nothing might be the biggest thing in the universe.

      I sometimes mix-up my terminology so this is to help me:
       
      The Lord's supper is the ceremony in which Jesus and his apostles partook on Nisan 14.
       
      Jesus said to do this in remembrance of him, a remembrance of what he is about to do (give his life for mankind). So what we commemorate is the blood and flesh given in our behalf, and we reproduce this event by observing the sacrament of the Lord's supper.
       
      This death serves to enact a new covenant between the spirit-anointed sons and daughters of God, and the other sheep are respectful attendees and participants that honor that contract.
       
      In summary the Memorial (or 'eucharist', meaning 'thanksgiving' in biblical Greek) is our commemoration of the death of Jesus by observing the Lord's supper. The partaking (other denominations call it 'communion') of the emblems, the wine and bread, is done by spirit-anointed christians who are part of the new covenant.

      I found a video of a physician brother discussing techniques to minimize blood transfusions on patients during a medical congress
       
       
      I know he is a brother because he gives the memorial talk on stream.jw.org
