All Activity

Those ☝️suggestions plus: Still waiting to be able to open the App in 2 or more windows/tabs on my desktop, in particular, and or Android! I'm not sure how to describe this feature but to be able to move the line/area between the study material and Gems section. As it is now, it is set/unmovable. Well, hopefully you get what I'm referring to.

JWB Sep 2026 transcript

As mentioned in my initial post. I support playlists. This is the change I made to the bot. Just have a try: @JWLibraryMergeBot

I notice you don't support playlist. I had that issue with jwsync.org as some have 3gb or larger files that were crashing my sql unpacker . I found a workaround that handles the txt separately and leaves the playlist folder on user's side. Maybe you could do that on telegram

I had a Titanium / Tungsten ring and I dont like the color of gold. 😉😁

That's a cool idea thanks marc

Generally speaking The further the destination the fewer candidates will apply because it’s more expensive. For example, for Polish branch everyone who applied to Milwaukee got in but for Hamburg there were a lot who weren’t selected.

All these dated are from S-151 Instructions for Applying to Attend an International Convention. The one in blue merely indicates this city holds an international convention for the first time. But I may be wrong.

@Terk how did you get all these dates? And why is Spain blue and all other purple

Armenia looks amazing.

On a seprate topic, i can feel that 16.0 is about to be realeased soon (seeing that the app usually updates every 2-4 months, typacilly 3) What do yall think will come with this update? I surely hope that we are able to bold, italize, underline, and strickthrough as part of the new update. I think that would majorly improve out personal study tools!! Something i would love to see be implemented as well is the use of embeded links... imagine adding scripture links to your study notes?!? or even linking articles, that would be so amazing... I hope they also fix the issues with the media player, its pretty buggy in my experience. What do yall think?

Until now, no, maybe try reaching out to the branch and make a suggestion!

I notice that the members of the Governing Body wear rings.

Do you guys think Marseille is in really high demand? I have Denver, Marseille, Spain, Peru, and the UK, but I’m not sure which one is the least likely option.

Climbing again, +2.89C now

I tried it and only wanted it on the lock screen. It randomly takes over the other screens. I uninstalled it and it still is there and takes over all the other screens. How do I get rid of it?

Version 3 is out: - Added option to start with any day in the generated schedule: Once a plan is generated, click the ▶ button on any day to make it the first day. The schedule reorders from that point, wrapping around seamlessly. Perfect for starting mid-Bible or aligning with your current reading position. Click the ▶ button on the first day (or regenerate) to restore the original order. - Added more languages: Cebuano, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish and Tagalog - Added more themes: Coastal, Deep Navy, Monochrome, Nght Vision, Scope and Terracotta - Other tweaks and improvements

A long time ago I saw some rings that also functioned as watches. I wear a watch and I like it very much too. There are watches at all price points. There are rings at all price points. Usually a man wears a gold or silver ring. Although there are rings that are costume jewelry. I don't remember seeing men wearing costume jewelry rings. Women wear costume jewelry rings. But men want gold, silver, or gemstone rings. A ring of that type is synonymous with wealth. That's how it works, that's how it is. In my old job, men who weren't Christian wore rings, chains, and bracelets. It was a status symbol of wealth. Maybe that's where this blockage comes from.

This information was once passed on to me by a circuit overseer.

It's very good to know how things are done in other cultures. I've never seen a brother wearing a necklace. Some wear rings. Knowing how brothers think helps my mind better understand each person's individual decision. It's not a dispute about who is right. It's about information, knowledge, and respect for each other's customs and decisions.

How timely ! It's amazing

Some of the GB, and other brothers who are featured in videos and talks are seen wearing rings in addition to wedding rings. Personal choice. Maybe in your area, it is less accepted.

Well, as has already been mentioned, there is no specific Bible principle involved here, except perhaps one related to the motivation behind the choice. Apart from that, there is nothing inherently wrong with a man using the object itself. It is a matter of personal decision, but that decision should also be considered in light of how the congregation where we serve views the matter. Let me share my own experience. I have always liked rings, but for many years I avoided wearing them because I knew my congregation would not view them favorably. Later, some elders moved to my congregation who wore rings themselves. This gradually made the congregation more accustomed to seeing appointed men wearing such ornaments. So, after some time, I felt comfortable wearing one myself. If we think about it, many small things we consider perfectly normal could technically be described as “showing off” or “drawing attention to ourselves.” Why continue wearing a nice watch when it is so much more practical to check the time on a smartphone? Why does a sister choose to wear earrings when she could simply go without them? Often, the answer is simple: we wear them because we like them. But, as with many other matters, we should take into account how the people around us view these things. And, as my own experience shows, that perspective can change when someone is willing to take the first step, especially when that first step comes from outside our congregation.
