Wich book is this?

One of the two Insight volumes—could the lighting be causing the color to look a little different, perhaps? -
NWS Mobile- Beta Testing
JwSam replied to dvdgarofalo's topic in Computers, Tablets, Mobile Devices, & Apps
No issues so far in using the app, but I am not admin and have only been using the Mobile app for a few days. 1. In NWS Mobile, where is the REPORTS MENU? In NWS for Windows, the reports menu is in Printing; Save, Print and Email Reports. 2. When accessing the Persons tab in NWS Mobile on Android, choosing a person then choosing an action for the person in the tab bar, the app navigates to that page about that person. When I return to the Persons page using the in-app back arrow, the page resets to the top of the Persons page list. If the person I am viewing, or the family, is not at the top or the bottom of the list, then I need to scroll to navigate to the person. Not a big deal. Is there a way for the app to remember the Persons page settings when navigating away from it so it does not reset to the top of the list when using the back arrow, but returns to the person last opened? - Today

I believe the book is "The Nations Shall Know That I am Jehovah" - How?". Not only does the color match in our older book list in the JW Library app, but the title ties in with the illustration in our lesson showing a woman looking out the window at ones preaching in the neighborhood! I googled and these images came up.

Peace and Security, Great Tribulation, Armageddon
Dhanyel replied to Dhanyel's topic in Secular News in the Mainstream Media
The circuit overseer commented that we should avoid saying that "the Governing Body allowed" the use of beards, women wearing slacks, or toasting with glasses. A more appropriate way to express it is to say that the Governing Body made an adjustment or adjusted the understanding on a particular matter. He also mentioned that many other adjustments may come in due time. Therefore, it is not appropriate to say that "tattoos will be allowed," "birthdays will be allowed," or that other celebrations will be approved. We have no basis or authority to make such comments or to create expectations among our brothers and sisters. We need to show respect for Jehovah and for the way He directs His organization. Adjustments are made at the proper time, when there is a basis for them, and our role is to accept them with respect and humility, without speculation or putting pressure on matters that Jehovah has not yet clarified. -
This can be one of the most challenging issues that our brothers and sisters face. Where there is a continuing problem, and it is not resolved, I have known brothers move to another congregation so as to avoid bringing a spirit of disharmony into a congregation. -
Good reminder, Doug. I believe that the work on the Greek text started in December 1947. It was a task of some size yet the brother on the translation team finished for release at the August District Assembly (Regional Convention). The full students bible with all volumes included is just over 2.5" think (I just measured it).

I use a Epson EcoTank ET-2550. Its over 10 years old, and still going great!. Must have printed tens of thousands of invitations with it over the years.

Maybe, in the future, we will have total recall, with photographic memories. The ability to filter out the rubbish.... what a thought.

Maybe it's the 1970 Revision, thickness looks similar, though the shade of green is slightly different 🤔 Have a look:

The New World Bible Translation Committee began in 1950. They released six volumes over the next 10 years. Maybe the green one on the shelf is one of those volumes. The first release was the entire Christian Greek Scriptures. Second release was the first 8 books of the Hebrew Scriptures. Third release ~ The next 9 books, through Esther. Fourth release ~ The next 5 books, through the Song of Solomon Fifth release ~ The next 3 books, through Lamentations. Sixth volume ~ Ezekiel, Daniel and the minor prophets, through Malachi In 1961 the brothers made one bound Bible , and, shall we say , it was a brick 😂 Probably almost 4 inch's thick.

Shawnster replied to ucastrobr's topic in General Discussion & Everyday Chit Chat
The audio description only specifies older editions (plural) of the NWT. So the 2 bibles depicted are black and the other green. The green NWTs were pretty thick, especially the early ones when they finally had the entire Bible
-
I agree with the above assessment. As closely as I can see, that green book is one of the old Bibles. The title on the spine takes five lines, but the title on 'Things in Which it is Impossible for God to Lie' is six lines. Taking a closer look, the last two lines seem to begin with a capital H and a capital S.

The green book on the far right? It looks like ‘………..on the holy scriptures ‘ to me….🤷 -
It’s rated R for violence and profanity so I won’t be watching the movie.

I studied The Odyssey as one of my A levels in school as part of Classical Civilisation. That and the Aeneid and the Iliad.

In March of 2025, Brother @Lance posted that a privacy legal case in British Columbia may go to the Supreme Court of Canada. That topic is now closed so I will continue it here, since that case will indeed be decided by Canada's highest court. These links will give a little background on the case: https://albernivalleynews.com/2025/03/23/bc-jehovahs-witnesses-privacy-case-may-go-to-supreme-court/ and https://www.scc-csc.ca/pdf/case-documents/41816/MM050_Applicant_John-Vabuolas-Paul-Sidhu-Grand-Forks-Congregation-of-Jehovah's-Witnesses-Coldstream-Congregation-of -ehovah's-Witnesses-and-Watch-Tower-Bible-and-Tract Society-of-Canada_Reply_2.pdf. Now, we hear the following news. (This was sent to me in an email, so there is no official news link.) To my knowledge, we have never had the opportunity to see a live session of the Supreme Court of Canada before. So this should be interesting, if you can follow the dense legalese language they may be speaking there. However, the Court's final decision of the case will not likely be heard until some time later.

In next week's 'Treasures from God's Word' section, there's a picture showing an old, black New World Translation Bible and the Sing Praises to Jehovah songbook. But the green book, actually, it looks like “Things in Which It Is Impossible for God to Lie.” Is that right?"

The problem with ink, besides being expensive, is that unless you use the printer often the cartridges dry up. I bought a laser printer many years ago and don't want to have an ink printer ever again. Laser printers may be more expensive at first sight, but toner lasts for ages. You can often find a laser all-in-one device at second hand for $100 or less. If you prefer buying it new, you can find them for between $200 and $300, or almost half that if color is not a need for you. I now have a wireless Brother MFC-L3750CDW that has everything your Canon does, and it has been working without a glitch for eight years. This model is big because it also works as a photocopier with all the different paper trays, but there are much smaller models out there.

Doesn't post-production mean that it has already been filmed? They didn't finish gnj yet. -
Monday, July 20 Kindly forgive and comfort him, so that he may not be overwhelmed by excessive sadness.—2 Cor. 2:7. Imagine what could happen if the elders refused to allow a truly repentant man back into the congregation or if after his return, the congregation refused to show him love. He could be swallowed up by “excessive sadness.” He could easily feel that his situation was hopeless. He might even give up in his efforts to repair his relationship with God. Even worse, if the other brothers and sisters in the congregation refused to forgive the repentant sinner, they would put their own relationship with Jehovah in jeopardy. Why? Because they would reflect, not Jehovah’s forgiving attitude toward repentant wrongdoers, but Satan’s harsh and merciless attitude. They would, in effect, become tools that the Devil could use to destroy the man spiritually.—2 Cor. 2:10, 11; Eph. 4:27. w24.08 17 ¶7, 10-11- 1 reply

Post in 1975 End of World ?
jwhess posted a post in a topic,
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.”

Jehovah's name is explained to Moses as meaning "I shall prove to be, what I shall prove to be". This is a reference to the fact that, whatever is his will, he can make it a reality.· 5 replies
If that is so, why did the Septuagint, which was translated by Jews who knew the language, translate it as egō eimi ho ōn? (“I am the One who is”), which seemingly refers to God's aseity rather than having to do with his purpose?
