  1. Past hour
  2. I didn't watch the whole video so please decide to watch or don't watch at your own discretion. Basically, the US congress I'd gaining more traction to reveal whatever UFO/alien retrieval information or programs they have. I wonder what that means? If they show people evidence of these crafts or even "non human biologic", is it just all faked? It is so weird the government is doing this 🧐
  3. Hmmmm... You mean shorter study articles with short videos for discussion? 🤔
  4. There's a setting for that, which can be turned off. I think it's under "Congregation Sharing" at the bottom (going from memory...I'm not home right now).
  5. I have experienced several different bugs over the years, not necessarily all at once. They often eventually get resolved with updates. To mention a few: It crashes and closes. This one I still experience. It will freeze up for several seconds and then just close. The dark mode gets confused, where half of the screen will be dark and the other light. When I close and restart it goes back to how it should. When playing either audio or video, it will play very slowly for the first 4 seconds and then just stop playing. These are just some off the top of my head that I currently experience. Often closing and restarting the app fixes it. But there have been others over the years that have been resolved.
  6. Today
  7. It's a security measure that actually becomes an annoyance. The developers consider you should change the password after some time. And they keep reminding it to you. Personally I have been ignoring this warning and have no intention to change the password because it would imply going through the whole process with each and every brother authorized to use the program and I have more important things to do. While updating passwords periodically is a good safety practice, I don't see the point in NW Schedule. What's the danger, some former elder trying to break in? Besides, the password itself doesn't give you access to anything. They need the congregation ID and PIN, then to have their email in the list of accepted brothers, then they need to have permissions to be able to see or change anything. The warning is good but there should be an option to dismiss it. I guess it will disappear with time if I keep ignoring it.
  8. I thought I could paste images here directly but I guess not. Why is NWS telling me "Congregation Sharing Password needs updating"?
  9. I have never experienced any bugs. Perhaps some things don't work like I want them to but it's not a bug. Please explain.
  10. We have all the study articles up until the end of the year. If I wanted to stir things up, I would say its because a change is coming in 2027. But I don't, so I won't say it. 😃
  11. May 2026 Global Temperature Update, 2nd Warmest May on Record +1.38°C Temperature Mean May (1880-1920)NASA Current record (2024) (+1.43C) +1.47°C👇 For the Year Hottest year (2024) 1.56c Second hottest year (2025) 1.46c Third hottest year (2023) 1.45c +1.43°C👆 Last 12 Months
  12. For those who may not be aware, updates and improvements have been made to the previously published article on JWPUBS about how to identify the official JW Pressroom accounts. It is now available in 15 different languages. The article is updated as needed based on changes to platform algorithms and account activity. Since platform algorithms continue to evolve and various fake or impersonation accounts have been appearing, the article is also updated to warn readers about accounts that were not established by the organization. https://www.jwpubs.org/articles/how-to-make-sure-you-are-following-the-official-jw-pressroom-account/
  13. Yesterday
  14. The JW Pressroom verified badge is back on Instagram, but we’re still waiting for the same verified badge to appear on TikTok. It seems getting verified on TikTok takes longer and has tougher requirements compared to Instagram. On the bright side, reporting fake accounts is now easier than ever due to impersonation protection the official account have.
  15. I get this very occasionally (11” iPad Pro 2018, iPadOS 26.5). It selects the chapter 10 above (iirc) what I touch. (Landscape mode.) Pressing the Bible tab to start again fixes it for me.
  16. I still hear occasionally the expectation about California. Even Oregon I think. No one has ever said it about Florida that I recall. Lived there many years with no idea there was a fault line anywhere close by. But now maybe we will hear some theories. It would give more coast line for people to live on 🤪 The earth has been changing for a long time. I expect it to continue.
  17. Thursday, June 11 Do not become upset and turn to doing evil.—Ps. 37:8. When others misjudge us or mistreat us, we trust that Jehovah knows the truth. That confidence can help us to endure unfair treatment because we know that ultimately Jehovah will correct matters. By leaving things with Jehovah, we prevent anger or resentment from festering in our heart. Those emotions can cause us to overreact, can destroy our joy, and can damage our relationship with Jehovah. Of course, we will never be able to follow Jesus’ example perfectly. At times, we may do or say things that we later regret. (Jas. 3:2) And some injustices may leave us with emotional and physical scars that can be hard to bear. If that is true of you, be assured that Jehovah knows what you are going through. And Jesus, who also suffered unjustly, can sympathize with your feelings. (Heb. 4:15, 16) How happy we are that Jehovah gives us practical counsel that helps us to deal with injustice. w24.11 6 ¶12-13
  18. More animal news: A horse drawing a carriage in Central Park fell to its death yesterday. This practice needs to be reviewed.
  19. We are now at 700K followers on Instagram and almost 120K followers on TikTok.
  20. NASA Webb Finds Strongest Evidence Yet for ‘Black Hole Stars’ Release date: 10 June 2026 10am; ID: 2026-119 Many of the scattered pieces of the little red dot puzzle are coming together. Since their initial discovery by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope in 2022, astronomers have been making steady progress in solving the mystery of these small, red objects that populate the early universe. By combining the power of Webb with a natural “telescope,” a team of scientists recently obtained the deepest spectrum to date of a little red dot. Referred to as GLIMPSE-17775, this compact red source’s abundant spectral lines provide multiple lines of evidence that converge to support the black hole star scenario: Little red dots are black holes enshrouded by cocoons of hot dense gas. Article link: https://science.nasa.gov/missions/webb/nasa-webb-finds-strongest-evidence-yet-for-black-hole-stars/ More science: https://esawebb.org/news/weic2610/ Pic Description: While the primary purpose of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s observations of galaxy cluster Abell S1063 was to look for a certain population of stars, scientists obtained a detailed spectrum of GLIMPSE-17775 from the dataset. This little red dot is located behind Abell S1063. Credits: Image: NASA, ESA, CSA, Vasily Kokorev (UT Austin); Image Processing: Al yssa Pagan (STScI)

    • 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 work is delayed for a week. 
      My UPS that power my entire workstation catastrophically failed, and I’ve never been scared in my life seeing it emitting lots of smoke and loud sparks. 
       
      This scares me because I was originally planning to go out of town this weekend. If I had gone, my place could have burned down. Thankfully, I decided not to leave town this weekend.

      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

      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!
