    I just assumed all comments are moderated. What constitutes a "new" member? I've been a member for almost 2 years and my comments are still moderated! 😂
  3. Lance
    All new members have their comments moderated.We won’t change that.We do have moderators around the world and we do try to approve posts as quickly as humanly possible. New members are moderated, long time regular posters are not.Unfortunately when someone is in a panic and comes here for software support, usually it is a new member, it will take awhile for their comments to be approved. We only get paid in new system dollars redeemable on the other side..😇so don’t bust our chops. Our mission is basically for theocratic discussion. Not software support for any theocratic program.We have enough issues keeping this site up and running. We do have discussion areas that deal with software from various providers and the members usually can assist in whatever way possible. Just be kind and respectful even if your paid or unpaid software is not meeting your standards. Check to see if your software has their own contact system to handle problems.

    Hi James, I assume you're referring to my posts. The posts are showing in the order they were posted. The thing is when I first post, my post is hidden. As a relatively new user, all my posts are being approved by the admins here, which has been taking anywhere between 20 mins and 7 hours. Once they approve it, it becomes visable as posted at the time when I did make the post. Others may have posted their responses after I posted, but it appears earlier because their posts are not being hidden first until they are approved.

    These were the hamburger buns I made to take to a sisters backyard cookout. They were HUGE and pillowy and everyone had two hamburgers---one with the brisket /ground chuck blend then they all went back for just a bun! I'm 69 and just discovered I am the Widow of Zarapeth modern day version!

    I will be glad to when I make them again. But the Yorkshire pudding is pictured above in that ridiculously small doll oven. When I see you in paradise I will put them on the menu for you. I hope we can have them with roast beef!

    Yes sir! Decadent food generally refers to dishes that are often high in calories. This could include foods high in fats, sugars, or luxury ingredients. The term 'decadent' is often associated with desserts like chocolate truffles, cheesecake, or crème brûlée, but can also apply to savory foods like a rich and creamy alfredo pasta, foie gras, or a juicy, well-marbled steak. Can also mean labor intensive and with an oven that can vary 100 degrees either way during the same bake it is intensive! Heavy whipping cream is always decadent to me. and don't forget the organic beef tallow used in the Yorkshire pan that they get poured into.

    I got it, I understand it and I only posted a reply so that others who would draw the same conclusion as I did namely HAVING to tick the radial button YES or NO before they see what you posted in this screen shot. That is not intuitive having to answer something that has no relevance to what you are looking for. A simple explanatory sentence on that page would have solved it or use a drop down text box listing the selecting choices instead of a radial button selection. But it is all good now as we now know how to send our problems and screenshots to the developers.

    I'm the main admin of NWS for our congregation. The 8.1 update seems to have wiped out the past year's service reports for about 60 of our 87 publishers, it looks like every month of the past year, though I didn't do a forensic audit. 😂 I also noticed that we no longer have the boxes to record the meeting attendance in NWP (4.0.6). Also, every time I open NWS since the update to 8.1 I have had data waiting to be sent, almost always related to public talks. Coincidentally (or not), our PTC (not an admin) was the first to update to 8.1 before I even realized there was a new update. I don't know how carefully he followed the update instructions nor if it is just a coincidence that public talk data has always been waiting to send. All of our shared brothers have updated to 8.1 and most are on #1450, with 2 on #1448. I just updated to #1451 and for the first time after opening there is no longer app data waiting to send as soon as I open the app. So #1451 seems to have resolved that issue. About half of our 109 users have updated NWP to the latest version. I think I will try to restore the missing service reports from a backup prior to the 8.1 update. Unless any think that would be unwise; any other suggestion for that? What about Refresh All App Data on the main NWP App tab in NWS? Though I do remember doing that previously. And what would be the suggested course to get the attendance boxes back in NWP? I have already tried removing that option in NWP App Settings, sending data, restoring the setting, and sending data again.

    Numerous invertebrates possess more than four functional limbs, with arachnids (8 legs), insects (6 legs), and decapods like crabs or lobsters (10 legs) being prime examples. Others include centipedes/millipedes, sea spiders, and cephalopods like octopuses (8 arms) and nautiluses (dozens of tentacles). These structures are used for movement, hunting, and navigation.youtube

    But you expressed earlier they could grow up to eight feet. Then again, if it grows one foot, it actually does meet your description. I withdraw.

    Did Nefertiti marry her own father? Internet quote:"Though linked to Pharaoh Ay; reference suggests Ay fathered a daughter who married the pharaoh, possibly Nefertiti." You may recall a singer who had an ongoing affair for years with his own grown daughter. Disgusting!
  20. Áine started following Friday, May 1 There is no partiality with God.​—Rom. 2:11.
  21. Áine
    Friday, May 1 There is no partiality with God.—Rom. 2:11. After he had delivered his people from slavery in Egypt, Jehovah appointed priests to serve at the tabernacle. Levites were assigned to share in other duties related to that holy tent. Did those who served at the tabernacle or who were encamped close to it enjoy better care from Jehovah than others? No! Jehovah is not partial. Everyone in the encampment had an equal opportunity to enjoy Jehovah’s friendship. For example, Jehovah made sure that the entire nation was able to see the miraculous pillar of cloud and pillar of fire posted above the tabernacle. (Ex. 40:38) When the cloud started to move in a new direction, even those encamped farthest from the tabernacle were able to see that, assemble their belongings, dismantle their family tents, and keep pace with the rest of the nation. (Num. 9:15-23) Similarly today, no matter where we live on earth, we can benefit from Jehovah’s loving, watchful care and protection. w24.06 4 ¶10-12

    Thanks for the tip on how to proceed. I was at that point in the help & support section, read the version comments, yep understood that, but it is not very intuitive having to select YES or NO to the question Has your congregation enabled NWS Mobile BETA? before you get to the part of reporting problems with the NWS or NWP app, thus me not finding the place were to report problems with just released versions of those two apps as the mobile part is of no interest atm for us. However, after checking our data it verifies that the releases before 2026/04/25 introduced the errors in the territories as none of the data from before that date is available. Statuses that were changed 2026/04/23 were lost. Not a big deal as people in our territory do not get easily irritated when calling on them accidentally twice a week as we work our territory not to death but to LIFE. ON A SIDE NOTE: Can the admins on this site help those who are many hours ahead of US time zones to make their comments appear in the order of when they replied to existing posts? Answers to my posts appeared hours before them.

    It's still there, same place as I posted a screenshot above. You do need to read each section as you go. If you try to just skim over things, you might loop yourself back. There is no way to "log in" to the website so there are no different levels of access. It's just a website form. Good to hear your problem was fixed. Probably others had the same problem and submitted it to them to be fixed.

    We are so happy for this in the Nordics. We all know that the way that our opposers presented how this works, regarding families and disfellowshipping was more lies then truth. So happy to see that educated and skilled people that not listen to ”bias” and ”non-proved opinions” still are existing in this strange world we live in today still exists. Jehova has putten alot of wisdom in the human hearths, and still there are people with a honest heart, so wonderfull to see, jehova will not accept opposer win with their lies everywhere. still said abour Russia, and what lies our brothers have to handle, happy we did not get a new country copying that way of looking at people trying their best to follow the bible.

      jwhess posted a post in a topic,

      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.”

      My dear, dear brother. You may be physically alone. But you are not alone. Of course you have Jehovah and his invisible family, all there. Then, us in our pitiful state, are here too. Loving you, and praying for you and you dear Cate. 
      Praying for you both dear ones. 
      The best is yet to come, and, yes, just around the corner. 
      In the meantime, Jehovah will see to the two of you. This I know.
      With much love, your sister, Bea

      Are allergies on the rise (more so than just "being the season" for them)?  🤔
       
      My grandma of 81 years was complaining yesterday about having to deal with allergies, despite it never really being a thing for her before.

      Even in my own circumstances, I find myself using my albuterol inhaler and nearly having asthma attacks, despite growing out of that many years ago.  Now it's back...  😔

      My spiritual routine is… sorely lacking order…
       
      My list of personal study projects only keeps growing, and it seems I cannot finish even one. I am absolutely terrible at study. My brain just doesn’t seem to “go off,” but at the same time, nothing ever gets accomplished 😵‍💫
       
      Like now—I found a JW-friendly app (Personal Bible Trainer). I chose to read the Bible from scratch, both the Old and New Testament, and it gives a challenge, goal, or thought to focus on with the chapters (or part of a chapter) you’re reading. I also decided to highlight my Bible while I’m at it so I know for sure I read the chapters. Then I remembered I had started writing down the characters mentioned, so I don’t forget who was in the chapter, when, where, and in what order. And then there’s the daily text and weekly meeting study… it’s just all horror!
       
      Just from this, you can probably see my mind is absolute chaos 🤯 My brain feels like a bag filled with water—but full of holes.
       
      I’ve cut back on work due to my health slowly deteriorating. Now I’m only working 2 days a week instead of 4. I stopped going out in field service and have been asking others not to invite me because I keep having to cancel last minute due to my mystery illness/condition.
       
      Now I really need ideas that might help plug these holes—so I can actually retain information and build a study routine that works for me. I can’t even remember how I was able to handle so many subjects back in my school days 😮‍💨
       
      I know most brothers and sisters have families, strong spiritual routines, and goals that help them stay focused on spreading the good news of the Kingdom. Being in the truth by myself, I’m doing everything solo. And over the years—with moving to an actual home, changing congregations, and now my health failing at this age… anything I once had in mind spiritually (like learning a new language, LDC, or working on projects like Ramapo) is gone, and my zeal has almost fizzled out.
       
      I had some shepherding calls after isolating myself for so long and not attending meetings for a few months. The elders reminded me that there are people who care about me, even when life gets in the way—and that isolation won’t help. And they’re right… it doesn’t.
       
      The only thing that kept me going—then and even now—are Jesus’ words and Peter’s response after many stopped following him:
       
      “So Jesus said to the Twelve: ‘You do not want to go also, do you?’ Simon Peter answered him: ‘Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life. We have believed and have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.’” — John 6:67–69
       
      Right now, I’m just trying to focus on getting my mind back into studying properly and maybe having a good comment at the meetings again.
       
      Any advice you may have that could help—I would really appreciate it. Otherwise, please just keep me in your prayers. 🙏🏼
