  1. Two of our midweek songs this week are lively and bright. Song 76 and Song 84 (I attached the children's videos because they are happy. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/ChildrensSongs/pub-pksjj_76_VIDEO https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/ChildrensSongs/pub-pksjj_84_VIDEO
  2. I did not like having to give up my Kingdom Interlinear to get the King James Interlinear. So I chose the King James Inline Strongs version the Brother offered. That way I kept the Kingdom Interlinear and the Strongs numbers at the same time. I still miss the chance to add it to my new Iphone.
  3. It is the Gilead Graduation. It is posted on the servers and so should be on JW.ORG soon. URL code is 138.
  4. Our brother Manfred the German says it is Ukrainian Sign Language.
  5. I really liked using the jwpub file with the King James Bible with Strong's numbers inline. It was added to my 'parallel' Bibles list and I used it at every meeting. My iPhone broke (no usable screen) and when I replaced it yesterday, I had to use an older IOS backup from the cloud. It loaded JW Library but not the library contents. I had to reload all of the material (including Bibles). The current JW Library just gives me an error when I try to put the KJV Bible with Strong's back in. I truly will miss it. It is still working on my iPad mini that I use at meetings.
  6. I have the printed literature to look at. I have the same literature in digital format. I usually peruse the information in a search manner. For instance, I might hear a comment about a clarification of belief concerning Jude verse 7..."In the same manner, Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah and the cities around them also gave themselves over to gross sexual immorality and pursued unnatural fleshly desires; they are placed before us as a warning example by undergoing the judicial punishment of everlasting fire." I will try to remember what our belief about this scripture was when I first began to study. Then I will check the number of times we have adjusted that thought and when. Then I will look up the latest understanding and compare them. It is my version of 'research, study, meditate and relearn'...♥️ Whether I use the digital or printed material does not usually change the manner of search. The digital material usually only goes back to 1950 or less. I have the printed versions in electronic PDF files so I can use my computer. Our Index shows research back to 1930.
  7. We are not in membership competition with Satan's 'paramours' (I haven't used that word in years). It is just nice that someone noticed us. We are not just that little church at the edge of your town...😁
  8. They are part of the 20+ million at the Memorial each year. Maybe candidates for the call after BTG is destroyed?
  9. I am not sure of the question. The Windows app store shows the NWP for download.
  10. This doesn't answer your question, but you can sometimes 'batch' download a bunch of 'updates'. In the JW Library, go to <library>, click on <books>, and look at the top menu bar. Does it say "pending updates"? If it does, click on the <pending updates> selection an when it opens, there should be the 'cloud' or 'hamburger' or whatever you call the download icon. If you select that, it will show all of the things waiting for download and begin installing them. If there are a lot, make sure you have room for them.
