  1. The other "good part" think about the possibility of a "Bible study" Paradise right there in the home with granddaughters and son! 🙂
  2. Hello friends, Trying to set-up Zoom for the meetings on MacBook Pro. Daughter bought New MacBook and sold wife her old MacBook. *I know technology but I'm an Android user and Do not take the time out to understand Apple,IOS, Macbooks or anything else related to Apple. Main Technical issue she's having right now. (1) No Speaker Audio—> She can hear the friends and everything else is working okay but when she try to give a comment she Can Not be heard—>She was unmuted and brothers checked Audio on their end and everything was okay. (2) I tried to troubleshoot to figure out how to solve this Audio technical issue on my end but and become a little frustrated trying to come up to speed with the learning curve using Apple, IOS, Macbooks. (3) I'm sure it may be something very simple to resolve. However, me being an Android user can not offer wife technical assistance to resolve issue. (4) I usually approach resolving technical issues when I troubleshoot by starting at the beginning rather than trying to figure out the problem in mid-stream. (5) My first thoughts from a technical standpoint were: a) Does she have the correct version of zoom downloaded on her MacBook? b) Where do you download the correct version for Zoom meetings on a Macbook? c) Apps to download in Apple Store look different than what I use on Android and Not sure which version of Zoom to download if that's part of the technical issue? d) Lasting, my frustration with the learning curve understanding Apple devices, features, how to navigate to get there. I need friends help and a simple step-by-step quick tutorial walk through to make sure settings are set-up and enabled correctly and making sure correct version of Zoom is downloaded on her MacBook and to make sure everything is setup and working properly so friends can hear her and comment at meetings and participate and have share during meeting with FS group. Any assistance is always greatly appreciated. Thnx. —yb, Manny
  3. The Sister's "My Self-Isolation Quarantine Diary." is Too Funny! She has a great sense of humor and creative writing to come up with entires like that to place in her Diary...
  4. Hahaha...Bro. Richard I laughed so hard after reading your post you had me in tears. Through all this Madness I have to find a way to keep my sense of humor and laugh to keep from actually crying being weighed down with a heavy heart with everything I hear and see the friends going through. —My youngest daughter 25 yrs old is a Nurse, married, 2 year old grandson, inactive right now, home from work Quarantine sick with systoms. —She live hundreds of miles away from my wife and I, can't see her, can't fly there, can't drive there, can't hold and comfort her, my wife is an emotional wreck at times, I have to stay strong and keep my emotions under control. —Relying on Jehovah, prayer, hold my wife during these critical times and reassure her through Jehovah's word at Isaiah 41:10 that Jehovah wants us to do 3 things only. (1) Stand Still (2) Remain Calm (3) Rely on Jehovah —So I have to find time to laugh and keep my sense of humor to keep from crying Bro. Richard. —Your post was Too Funny!
  5. Hello Friends, I wanted to share some Humor with you about my wife and I and my parents. My wife and I have been married for 27 years we love each other dearly and both of us are faithfully serving Jehovah. —I wouldn't consider us the couple who are "Joined at the Hips" so to speak. Well the other day I showed my wife this video and she told me "it's a good thing we can go outside for walks and exercise during this lockdown of the Coronavirus because that's where you would find me hiding out in the closet because of to much "togetherness" with you" (Jokingly) and all this time I thought she loved having me home, because before we stop our ministry I was always out in field service full time. —I then forwarded the video to my parents who have been married 52 years and my mom thought the video was hysterical. She told me that after they watched the video together she turned and looked at my Dad and told him "any day now you may find me hiding out in the closet" she said my Dad told her "I don't get it!" She told me that "all she could do was look at your father and turn over in bed and go to sleep" Too Funny! https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=YLutlC7t5Cs The Madness—Quarantine Day 12
  6. Thank You friends problem solved following the suggestions given. What a beautiful organization we have! We're like a Wikipedia of Bible truths for those searching for mankind's problems by using Jehovah's word as a guide for daily living and a compass to direct our way in life. —Here on this forum we use the large data base of spiritual resources we have stored awaythrough publications, books, videos, FS, God's word the Bible. —I am so grateful to be apart of a loving family here and throughout Jehovah's organization. No matter what subject or topic we need help with from Jehovah's creation to computer technology we can find answers and suggestions here. —It's encouraging to know we have a safe haven here that we can turn to where we can find Bible based solutions and answers and provide us with insight and encouragement. —In metropolitan witnessing we call that "internal witnessing" friends encouraging each other—we need encouragement also the same way we provide encouragement to those we encounter in our ministry bcoz we have bad days and good days just like anyone else. Thank You, my dear Sisters and Brothers... yb, —Manny
  7. Maybe it's just me..I just don't recall always seeing a bold line when I hover the arrow cusor over the Google search box or any other space I would move my cusor. I guess it's just one of those senior moments I'm having right now and a bold line would always appear when I hover arrow cusor over an area where I have to type information. Thanks for helping me friends I really appreciate it when we have problems when can always come here to receive the encouragement and support needed. yb, —Manny **I tried pressing insert while typing and the mysterious bold line always appear when I hover cusor over an area where I have to type information. Thanks friends!
  8. Carlos I'm using my laptop now, it's not the blinking line after each letter you type but my cusor that looks like an arrow when I move it around, when I hover that cusor over the Google search box that's when it turns into a bold line and the arrow cursor disappears... Okay I will try to press insert key one time while typing...
  9. Hello Carlos, What I'm trying to explain is: —I have a touch pad HP laptop, I was wiping off the keyboard keys and I must have pressed on a key that caused the blinking line that you see right now as you're typing a word. —Behind each letter we type on a keyboard there's a blinking line. Somehow that blinking line after each letter has turned into a bold black blinking line after each letter. —When I move my cursor into the Google search box where https: is located well when I type each letter that same blinking line that's behind each message we send here or email it's still a thick bold blinking line I and it creates a problem for me when I'm typing. —The bold blinking line you see as you're typing after each letter, somehow has created a problem when I type a letter that blinking line sometimes won't allow me to type the next letter and when that happens I have to move my arrow cusor in front of the bold blinking line in order to keep typing out a word rather than the blinking line should be behind each letter I type it's in front of each letter I type.. —I how that help explain things better Carlos bcoz I'm beginning to confuse myself trying to explain it. "My brain hates me right now"
  10. I was cleaning off my keyboard while it was turned on and I think I accidentally pressed on a key that caused this problem..

  15. Hello my dear Brothers, I'm the Territory Servant for my congregation and we use the Territory Helper Program. I've been experiencing problems since last week trying to Login. Each time I attempt to Login I receive an 'Error 500' server message. I've been trying to contact "SUPPORT NETWORK" with no success or send an email. Can any Territory Servants here that use Territory Helper provide me with information or a solution to solve this Error (500) server problem or some other means of contacting the brothers at Support Network? I have certain territories I need to assign to friends for the Memorial Campaign starting Saturday March 23rd and all of our territory is in the system of Territory Helper and I cannot access anything. I need any assistance you brothers can provide me because I have to get these territories assigned to friends no later than Friday. Thanks for your help and support.
  16. Thank You my brothers and sisters for your help. All the suggestions are very helpful! "There's No Place Like Home" here with family...
  17. I want to surprise my wife with a 7 day cruise for our wedding anniversary to the Caribbean islands. Do any of the friends have suggestions of Travel Agencies that you have used on past cruises that offered great package deals on 7 day cruises to Caribbean islands? I've heard friends mention different travel tour agencies where they got unbelievable cheap package deals for cruises or online sites to search. Could anyone provide me with a list of names of travel tour agencies to use or other online websites or other ways to find great package deals on 7 day cruises to the Caribbean islands? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
  18. Yes I agree many years ago the game was popular and I too thought the game had faded away but this is something totally different now with this Pokemon Craze. Google "why are you starting to see so many groups of adult people standing on street corners staring into their cell phones playing Pokemon?"
  19. I'm involved in the Metropolitan cart witnessing work at least 20 hrs. a week in a large downtown Financial Metropolitan area that's home to BOA and Wells Fargo banks. Since the early part of last spring 2018 I was beginning to notice these small groups of people coming together at different times during the day gathering together on corners downtown, sometimes groups as large as 20 or more people. These were adults not kids and I'm talking about adults from all walks of life. These were Financial businessmen and women that worked on the 15th floor of the skyscrapers downtown, your vendors, people working in restaurants, hotel industry standing on street corners in their business suits men and women with their phones in their hands and their eyes fixated to the screens of their Cell phones not talking to each other but just looking at their phones playing this New Pokemon game. I decided to do some research on this because I was curious, I had never seen grown adults standing around on busy downtown street corners before in a group with their eyes fixated on the screens of their Cell phones and never talking to each other and after the game was over with for that moment they would just walk away and not say one word to the person they were standing next to. It was the weirdest thing I had ever experienced seeing from professional business people who work downtown. Well through researching this New Pokemon Craze what I found out is that the object of the game is to catch the Demon and find out where he is located next. This is not like the Pokemon you would see kids playing years ago and the kids would exchange Pokemon cards. Well today this game is like Pokemon on steroids chancing to catch the Demon and find out where he's located next. I was wondering if any friends have seen these groups popping up on street corners where they live and work downtown locations? —I remember one year my wife and I were on vacation in Jamaica and stopped to have a mixed alcohol drink similar to a drink in the Bahamas called Bahama Mama. Well anyway as my wife and I were sitting there chatting with the native Jamaican man about the island, places to go sightsee and the culture there. When we got to talking about the culture on the island his eyes seemed to get as large as a half dollar silver coin when he said "NO mon', you don't mess around with the Pokemon here in Jamaica, Pokemon is dangerous he will cast a spell on you!" My wife and I looked at each other with raised eyebrows finished our drink and moved on to enjoy the rest of our vacation...

  21. I agree Sis Ross, "Train a child from his youth up" he tried to make his case for a cupcake. When my kids were that age and my youngest wanted the last cupcake and her sister wanted it also sometimes I would place them in different rooms in the house and give one the cupcake and the other daughter another sweet snack bcoz my youngest daughter at 3 would plead her case why she didn't want to share her cupcake with her sister. Once they had finished eating their treat and came back together both of them were happy and had forgotten all about that one cupcake left.
