  1. Past hour
  2. Today
  3. I remembered that we have a small Vietnamese Group that has to use JW Stream from time to time for public talks. I did check the JW Stream box for a future PT and it does show up in NWP as an icon beside the name of the speaker. Our brothers have been naming the congregation as - [name] JW Stream so they have already been alerting everyone. This new icon may be more convenient in the future.
  4. A revised KIT with 2013 revision would be a great research tool.
  5. In the meantime the exact opposite is happening...
  6. Part of my decision will be based on what I can find today. We are assisting with a Pioneer School lunch later this week and my wife needs to print some recipes, so my decision is more about timing than research.
  7. I have an Epson EcoTank ... it has been nothing but trouble. Since I don't print on a daily basis, the heads keep needing cleaning and it fails to print when it sits like that. My brother has an HP tank printer. While his seems to work better than my Epson, it is not without its own issues. His reports paper jam errors when there is nothing stuck and we have had to remove and reinsert the printheads to get them recognized. Seems all the brands have issues.
  8. Please let us know what you eventually decide on and what factors influenced your decision. It could help those of us looking to buy a new printer in the future.
  9. Good question! I can't find anything in the Help docs and we have never used it so I can't say if it shows up in NWP. A brother could test it my clicking one of the options temporarily to see what shows up and then unclick it afterwards. I would do it right now but our talk coordinator is struggling a little with the assignment right now and I wouldn't want to throw him off even for just a few minutes. I know this would help a chairman and the A/V brothers and they could see it in NWS even if it wasn't on NWP. V
  10. Will these options then be visible to the congregation for example in NW Publisher, or in another way?
  11. You could check out this territory for 6 months and not worry about your pioneer time! It'd take you a week just to get there!
  12. The 1961 first edition was taller and matched the other books we had at the time. A few years later we shrank the overall height of all of our books (Bibles included). See picture below.
  13. It is interesting to place a 'timeline' on the picture. The woman looking out the window had the books for some years. The black NWT does not look as used as the green one. She may have had them as a teenager and then left the Truth. The oldest timeframe would be limited to 40 years. The books would have been updated about 20 years ago. As a guess, she has been gone 20-40 years. If she was 16-18 years old when she left, she would be in her mid-late 30s to mid 50s now when she is looking out the window. My guess might be that she is in her 40s and has been away from the Truth for 25-30 years? Never give up hope...♥️
  14. It appears that that is what the writing ✍️ says, but I don’t recall the green Bible being tall like that, my thought 💭. Sis Little
  15. Ah, that little “s”—so inconspicuous that we end up ignoring it, yet it puts an end to the question... Thank you, brothers John and Shawn.
  16. Here is a picture I just took in my library. The green book to the right is the original 1961 NWT, The brown songbook is from 1984. Any of our black NWT Bibles can be the one on the left. The one I grabbed was a bit more used and had 'spread' out a little. As Br. Shawn said, the caption refers to "older translations of the NWT and a songbook".
  17. From the NWS Docs: If the Public Speaker will give this talk using Zoom or other online software, you can optionally tick Online. If this Public Talk will be streamed from JW Stream, you can optionally tick JW Stream.
  18. It's the 60's or 70's NWT edition. The binding was half inch taller than the modern bibles we have today
  19. One of the two Insight volumes—could the lighting be causing the color to look a little different, perhaps?
  20. 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?
  21. 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.

    • 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.”

      I always thought that "branch representative" meant a member of the branch committee, but apparently it's not the case? So who can be a branch representative?

      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.
       
      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?
