    Sorry, I meant, did you do the backup before you did the major update?
  7. Dhanyel
    A little encouragement for those who feel sadness like me! It is moving to think that everything we do in this system is reaching its appointed end: the last meeting, the last celebration — once and for all —, the last assembly, the last convention, the last field service, the last Broadcasting, the last magazines. Then the new system promised by Jehovah will come… the first meeting, the first assembly, the first convention, the first field service, the first Broadcasting, the first magazines, under a righteous and everlasting government. May that day come quickly. We are tired of this wicked system. Our hearts wait in faith for the fulfillment of Jehovah’s promises: life in the perfect Paradise here on Earth. “Let your Kingdom come.” Come quickly, Sovereign Lord Jehovah. Come, Jesus!

    I updated and it shows an error that my congregation is not listed under the server selected.
  9. JJWest
    Did you guys do the shared persons backup before you did the backup? If so, you should be able to import that backup and everything you had scheduled should pop back up.

    I have same issue as Shawnster, after upgrading to NWS 8.0 #1424 ... empty Chairman and WT Reader lists, though they are all still selected under Assign in the Persons pages.
  11. JJWest
    I was able to download the app and open it, but once I try to enter our congregation pin, it shows error and won’t connect. Any ideas?
  12. Sheep
    I have heard exactly that. Someone asked me if I was gay. And I said no. So, his response was: "Why not? You got a problem with that?" Any excuse to be confrontational...
  13. Shawnster
    So, can't edit the Watchtower Reader or Public Talk chairman. The fields where the names are are blank. Can't find any way to contact NW Scheduler support to open a ticket or request help or report the problem. Any suggestions?

    Percy, and Chuck - exactly. If humans don't learn from history, or care about it, they repeat too many errors. I love history too! It matters. Going from precious metals backing the financial system, to financiers printing what isn't real at all has caused so much harm, with things spiralling downwards. Yes, a bit of 'bank mattress' was learned by older ones and not a bad idea, though 'cash is trash' compared to tangible, scarce commodities like silver and gold, going up crazily on the stock market, of late, with a little bit of a correction today. Of course, whatever we try to do to put a little away for a rainy day, being shrewd to 'conceal ourselves' to a point, can help. However, it can 'take wings and fly away' as the Word warns In the end, trusting that Jehovah will help us cope with whatever situation we find ourselves in - that is the best approach at heart, with these things as practical measures, but secondary.
  16. tmm
    Yes... an amazing thought that Jehovah regards it as lending to him.

    A good joke

    tmm replied to dilip kumar's topic in Jokes & Humor

    That's funny, Davud... yes, reportedly everyone will be uncomfortable if standing too close to a microwave getting cooked...! But at least it probably will take the specified time. We all know about "soon" and how nebulous that can be 😉

    Updated both of our phones and they say 3.9.0 in the app but on NWS after several hours my wife is still showing as not connected and I am showing in devices as 3.8.4 and in Persons as 1 (Old app version). The actual app seams to be working so maybe it will just take some time for the NWS app versions to get populated correctly.
  20. tmm
    Isn't it wonderful, the way Jehovah's generosity has us thrilled and 'soaring' with what he has created. I would have stopped to take this photo too, and what rich blessings you received spiritually by being there in that little congregation, too, growing into a spiritual person.

    Another scorching day Downunder. As Australia is about the size of North America- there's no escaping the heat. No even if you fly as far as "NY to LA". It's all cooking! 🍳 AND, we still have bush fires from last week still burning. 🔥 https://www.9news.com.au/national/bushfires-p-more-than-1000-homes-evacuated-as-otways-fire-threatens-towns-as-far-as-lorne/9c1cf642-2ba3-49a5-ae0f-273b7487f5f9

    Tuesday, January 27 May Jehovah, my Rock, be praised, who trains my hands for battle.—Ps. 144:1. We can be a good influence on others if we are firm for what is right and if we make decisions that are solidly based on Bible principles. As we grow in faith and accurate knowledge, we become more steadfast in the truth. We are not indecisive, unsteady, or easily swayed by false teachings and worldly thinking. (Eph. 4:14; Jas. 1:6-8) We are also able to assist those who may be facing trials. (1 Thess. 3:2, 3) Elders are to be moderate in habits, sound in mind, orderly, and reasonable. These men are a stabilizing influence on others by “holding firmly to the faithful word.” (Titus 1:9; 1 Tim. 3:1-3) By their example and their shepherding, elders help publishers to be regular in their meeting attendance, field service, and personal study. When brothers and sisters face unsettling events, elders can do much to keep them focused on Jehovah and his purposes. w24.06 31 ¶16-18

    Ah. Love that bit of history. I didn't know that. See! You cannot trust anything in this system. But now you see why they removed gold/silver from backing paper money and turn it into fiat to do just that. It ruins countries and empires. We repeat history over and over again. The technology just changes by which we hurt ourselves faster and deeper.

    World not ready for rise in extreme heat An Oxford University study projects that nearly 3.8 billion people could face extreme heat by 2050 under a 2°C warming scenario, with impacts arriving more urgently than previously understood—most significantly this decade as we approach 1.5°C. The research highlights a dual vulnerability. Tropical and developing nations (Brazil, Indonesia, Nigeria, India, Philippines, Bangladesh, Central African Republic) will see the largest increases in "cooling degree days" and bear the greatest health burdens, yet hundreds of millions lack access to air conditioning. Meanwhile, traditionally cold-climate countries (Canada, Russia, Finland) face acute risks despite smaller absolute temperature increases, because their infrastructure is designed to maximize heat retention rather than dissipation—buildings trap warmth, ventilation is poor, and public transport lacks cooling systems. Lead author Jesus Lizana emphasizes the urgency: sustainable cooling infrastructure must be built within the next few years, not decades. The study warns that wealthier cold-climate nations are "dangerously underprepared" and cannot assume they'll be unaffected. While heating costs may initially drop in these regions, they'll likely be offset by rising cooling demands, particularly in Europe where air conditioning remains uncommon. The core message: climate adaptation isn't just a problem for hot countries—it's a global infrastructure challenge requiring immediate action across all climate zones.

    Close the app and reopen it. Then it works fine again. It's highly likely the release of NWS Desktop and NW Mobile is tomorrow.

      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 applied to be an Auxiliary Pioneer.  I had a wonderful meeting with two of the Elders in my congregation.   One of them , I'd never met before.  I think that they have a better idea of who I am and what I deal with every day with my mental illnesses.   Not sure if I'll be approved, but it's okay if I'm not.   I've been attending field service on Zoom on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays.  But will be adding Tuesdays as well.   🧏‍♀️
      Have a good night everyone!!  
      STAY WARM!!

      A little boy wants to make his father happy. He wants to buy him a gift, but he doesn’t have any money. So he turns to his father and asks him for a few coins. Now he has money, but the gift he wants to get is in a store, and the store is in town. Again, he needs the help of his father. Once in the store, he finds that the gift is way up on the shelf. The father has to lift him up. Same thing at the register. Having returned back home, the son, beaming and proud, hands the father his gift.

      A sweet little story but strictly speaking one could argue that the father himself was the generous giver here. In the end, he had to accompany and help his son at every step of the way, and he was even the one paying for it all. 

      If, however, the father had done everything himself, the outcome wouldn’t have been the same. In the way that it happened, the father, in fact, made it possible for the son to be something he could not have become on his own: a gift-giver.

      This story illustrates how God relates to us. God does not need man, but God allows man to share in his saving work. Man is given the grace to take part in God’s work, and this actually shows the true greatness of God. Man is not kept in a completely inactive dependency, but rather he is equipped with the power to do good.
      And this is exactly the reason there is a congregation. God does not need the congregation, but he wants the congregation so that through her we can become active sharers in the divine work of salvation. 
      In this way, man, who through sin causes so much woe and pain in the world, is now enabled and empowered to bring healing and share in God’s redemptive work. Fallen man, in a way, is rehabilitated in the congregation. He can live as a new creation.

      So God doesn’t need the congregation, but we need the congregation, and that is exactly why she was given to us as a means to salvation!

      Seeing Ukraine on your profile made me smile — there’s a lot of strength and beauty tied to that part of the world. You might enjoy browsing the Photo Gallery, especially the nature shots people share, and there’s also plenty of room here to just read quietly without any pressure to jump in right away. Thanks for joining us, and I’m looking forward to whatever you feel like sharing in time.
