I had a wonderful surprise this week. While some of our publishers were going over some very old photographs of our village (around WW1), they found a picture of a group of sisters advertising the PhotoDrama in our little village. We didn't get a congregation until 1970. So no one can identify these diligent sisters (and one little boy) in the photo. Photo is shown below. It is possible that the 100 year old photo is mislabeled. They could be standing in front of the sign advertising the Drama but really are part of a 4th of July demonstration or something similar. Our history is more detailed than we ever knew. Did anyone else have the Photo Drama come to be shown in their congregation territory?

What version of IOS are you using?

We have a new update (Feb 2026). It is version 2601.

I am enjoying the reading of this book so far. But you can definitely see that it is written for a University setting. The wording is good but it reminds me of a quote made about the writing of a highly educated member of our organization (now dead)..."He never used a simple four letter word when a 12 letter word would do." Sample from the beginning of the book:

Maybe it is annoying but I find it really difficult to attempt a task only to have the computer deny me access to the task or information and remind me that I have to be an administrator to do that.

There are times when you need to be the administrator to make things work.

We don't talk about "door-step studies" or "5-10 minute studies" anymore. If you do a whole lesson each week, possibly skip one or two chapters...you could finish in just over a year. reminds me of the old Truth Book studies of just 6 months to finish the book...♥️

The logo is attached to the New World Scheduler app. It is a new update to that program. It is discussed in another thread.

Me too, Br. Nat. At the time, the book we began using at the Congregation Book Study was New Heavens and New Earth (dark blue).

I just noticed a minor update. Could this help some of the problems?

We have been assigned to a new server. When the new server is correctly selected, the program asks for email verification. when that is done, it works.

I updated and it shows an error that my congregation is not listed under the server selected.

They were both available on the day of the convention release last year (starting in May). But they were only available to attendees (if you said YES) and not to the public. Now they are on JW.ORG and have a January 2026 release date.

I just noted that the minimum requirement for Android is now version 8.0

The JW Library app in my Windows 11 computer is working and downloading files. My JWL version is 15.6.59
