  1. Past hour
  2. Well you can order what ever you want … to me it is rather useless to just find out what your ethnic mix is .. you might as well find out who you are related to.. MyHeritage and Ancestry are the big two in the ancestry business.. you basically get your DNA done .. get a subscription through one of the above companies.. put all relatives that you know in to their database and then let it do it’s work. There are free or cheaper alternatives like GedMatch where you upload you DNA file to their servers and it will look through their database of people and tell you how many first cousins to 6 or 7 cousin you are related to. FamilySeatch is also free but you can’t upload your GedCom DNA file but it does give you access to public records which holds slot of information. There is a learning curve in understanding DNA results like how many centimorgans your relative has .. and if they have a searchable tree.. most have an email address that will allow you to leave a message with .. I just helped a brother in my congregation who is 60 find his father… the only info I had was his father was born around 1932 and was a Swedish ship captain. He got his DNA done and I traced back through a 2nd cousin once removed to a common great great grandparents.. and found all the children .. I got him his whole family and photos of his father and grandparents.. he was blown away and had no idea where to start..
  3. That's the part I am trying to understand. Can you provide some screenshots of where that is?
  4. No, when he says personal assignment he means the third tab at the bottom of NWP, which we all look at for our assignments. Look at the screenshot of NWP that he included in one of his posts. So when the chairman looks at his assignments in NWP he can click on his chairman assignment and the announcements will be there where he can read them directly from NWP, assuming the CBOE enters them in the chairman's notes through NWS.
  5. Today
  6. Thank you, I never realized that this feature existed. I'll mention it to our c o b e, because I think that would be nice. Sometimes they just tell you announcements but then the chairman doesn't know how to word it correctly. This would solve that issue if the Cobe just put it in there and then the chairman read it.
  7. Th baboon thought the house and car were okay and that this was a very exciting day.
  8. Thanks. I tried that but I didn't see where it was pushed to NWP as an assignment. I have limited access to NWS, so I can't see or try everything it can do.. I found some information about Chairman Notes in the Help file, but I wasn't able to use them. Is that what he is referring to?
  9. I also think that we will fairly soon look back and realise that we didn’t know it was that close
  10. Saturday, June 13 The one who constructed all things is God.—Heb. 3:4. As your child learns more in science class at school, he will discover that laws govern the shape of many things. For example, each snowflake is formed according to geometric patterns known as fractals. Fractal patterns are also found in other things in nature. But who made the laws that result in these beautiful patterns? Who is behind the order and careful design we see in nature? The more your child thinks about such questions, the more likely it is that he will be able to develop a strong belief that God created all things. At some point, you could ask him this question, “If God created us, would it not be reasonable to conclude that he has also given us moral guidance on how to be happy?” You can then point out that such valuable guidance is found in the Bible. w24.1216 ¶8
  11. It is under tasks. The Territory servant are automatic TASKED to handle territory returns (mostly automatic) And territory request. The requests are assigned by the system, but the brothers with 'task' access can provide personal tasks to others.
  12. "Same" difference can be confusing.
  13. Thank you. I understand what you are doing but not how you are doing it. How does the coordinator give the chairman a personal assignment? What part of NWS is used to do that?

  16. Let me try to explain more clearly based on how our congregation uses it. The latest app update has reintroduced the ability for the chairman to see the announcements directly in the section I mentioned earlier (personal assignments). Our coordinator finds it very useful to paste the full text of any document that needs to be read to the congregation, so the chairman can read it straight from there during the meeting. As for the documents that are meant to go into the Information Board, those become visible in the app at the scheduled time — usually 5 minutes after the meeting ends — along with the relevant PDF. Besides that, our coordinator also uses those notes to include other announcements, such as new pioneer appointments, the full text of other communications, and so on. I hope this makes it clearer!
  17. If you click the button here, it will try and show you how you are related to Charles Russell: https://www.geni.com/people/Pastor-Charles-Taze-Russell/6000000014487889313 you may have to click and wait, and then also choose the in-laws option and search again
  18. Jesus said that a house divided falls so Satan wouldn't get rid of his cherished nurtured lies with religion. The wild beast hates the harlot so won't care when it is attacked. take away many reasons for division: religion: nationality borders with the new greater power of the "image" of the beast; that isn't the individual beast heads. Will the world look like its unified? will AI have some role? they are spending trillions of dollars on it for some odd reason that to me makes no sense as they already have enough resources for the internet. makes sense to me that the cry can happen after some events. shrug....
  19. I use to climb the family tree when I was a kid, I thought it was an Oak but I think it was really an Elm.
  20. That's good to know about the DNA. I have been playing with some family trees by sleuthing. I get a Google alert every day from a new search regarding "Jehovah" and it shows up often in and obituaries when one of our brothers or sisters pass away. So I've kind of been playing with the details and the obituary to to identify family, and then I use resources on the internet to identify more family if possible so I'm hoping to have a tree of all of our spiritual family. They're gonna connect one of these times. Definitely at Noah and Adam. Dave
  21. I have done about 50 different trees for friends.. I have found fathers and mothers for people whom their adoption records do not show. I would recommend if you are serious about finding your relatives that you get your DNA tested.Depending on your ethnicity it will show who all your cousins are that have submitted their DNA.. from there you can trace your family tree… and get photos and stories that have slipped through the cracks of time.

  24. Does anyone do their family tree? I have done it through find my past and other sources. It's quite interesting and frustrating all at once. I have gone back so far but then wanted to go forward to find more present day people because I am desperate to find a photo of my grandmother I never met. My father never had a photo of her it's a sad story but I have always wanted to see a picture of her and don't know how already to go forward. You end up with all these certificates birth marriages and deaths and sometimes there are second marriages it all gets very confusing. I would love one of those programmed people who do think you are to discover these things for me and find some cousins I don't know about who might have some pictures:) I know this system is only temporary but we all love intriguing things otherwise we wouldn't study the Bible:)
  25. I think one of these days we will look back at what happened and realize it all made perfect sense...😁

    • 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.”

      I think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)

      There were many JW artists I followed on Instagram, they created beautiful Christian illustrations. But for some reason many deleted their accounts out of the blue, no trace left.

      It's time for me to take a break from JWTalk for just a bit. We have our Regional Convention starting tomorrow! For those of us confined to watching the convention on a screen (rather than in person), at least they give us a choice of watching the recorded version from the US, or the live streamed version of our own convention (with the local brothers doing the parts). Because of the convention, I likely won't have time to peek in here at all.
       
      So, enjoy the weekend everyone!
