    Reminds me of the protests to the Vietnam War which went on for nearly 20 years and did not effect the outcome. This war has no congressional approval and is therefore defined as illegal. So sad that people are dying. These protests won't help. The Kingdom will.

    Thanks Eryk for deigning this! Can you give us some simple instructions for in(REF)ens to show how this plugin will automatically find references to our publications? For example, I already have many notes that have a copy of a paragraph from an article and it has the citation, like this: But after I installed in(REF)ens I then attempted to see how this plugin would find the reference, but I could not see how to do it?? Thanks for your help

    Please remember, though there is the GOAL to complete the territory within a year. You can only accomplish what can be accomplished, and that is why the CO will ask pioneers to work with 'this' congregation for a few weeks. Or even groups have been arraigned.

    No ... and the letter I sent, I just didn't recognize the brother's last name. At the time he was studying and whenever he got called on they referred to him by his first name. It wasn't until he got baptized did they call him by his last name, Bro So and So. He asked if he could keep the letter! 🥰

  21. Eryk
    As a complement to tra.VER:ture and con[VER]sum, here is another Obsidian plugin: in(REF)ens This is a publication citation parser which will automatically find references to our publications (like The Watchtower (w, ws, wp), Awake! (g), Kingdom Ministry (km), Meeting Workbook (mwb), Insight on the Scriptures (it-1, it-2), books, etc.) and link them for look-up on wol.jw.org. More information in the GitHub repo or the Obsidian Community directory. As always, feel free to ask questions here, or report issues/suggestions in the repo.

    Unfortunately most of our "blocks" are not rectangular. They are more like "blobs" that you see under a microscope. The only benefit for this block number workaround is knowing when it has completed. It doesn't tell the publisher where the block starts, ends and boundaries in between. Here's a sample sanitised map for the purpose of illustration.
  23. Brother Pete
    We have 77 publishers and 65 maps with an average of 10 blocks and cover 3 times a year. Based on your calculations that works out around 8 blocks every 4 months.

    i have a jackery explorer 1000 v2 with solar panels. i think only the 100w panels though. i want to get the bigger 200w panels for better charging. i have yet to test the starlink mobile i have on it for a day. i primarily got it for travel or emergencies and to power starlink wherever we need it. im glad yours is working for you! i love their products so far!

    Here is another way they could think about it. I created a sample territory to demonstrate what it would look like. (See image) From the previous comments, I am guessing their streets are more or less laid out in blocks. 1. Create a territory with boundaries around say, 10 blocks 2. Add a block number. Right-click in the center of one block. The program will open a form with an address. Override the address by typing a block number for the house number (example: "Blk-1"), and delete the street name. Save this entry. This will place a marker in the center of the block, and add one entry to the territory address list. 3. Repeat for each enclosed block. Address list will now contain 1 line for each block 4. Now, when a block is worked - simply open the address list and tap the appropriate button. (ie, worked 1 time, 2 times, done) 5. The map markers will change color based on status of each entry. I would estimate it would make sense to include 6-10 blocks in one territory (if these are residential blocks)

    Wednesday, September 16 Shepherd the flock of God under your care, serving as overseers.—1 Pet. 5:2. Elders today are busy men. They are evangelizers. (2 Tim. 4:5) They take a zealous lead in the field ministry, organize the preaching work in the local territory, and train us to preach and teach effectively. They also serve as merciful, impartial judges. When a Christian commits a serious sin, elders strive to help him repair his friendship with Jehovah. At the same time, they are careful to keep the congregation clean. (1 Cor. 5:12, 13; Gal. 6:1) Primarily, elders are known as shepherds. (1 Pet. 5:1-3) They deliver well-prepared Scriptural talks, endeavor to get to know everyone in the congregation, and make shepherding calls. Some elders also assist with Kingdom Hall construction and maintenance, convention organization, and the work of Hospital Liaison Committees and Patient Visitation Groups, in addition to other assignments. Elders work hard for us! w24.10 20 ¶9

    October 16, 1962: Cuban Missile Crisis I was in the 6th grade and most of the friends in our congregation were thinking that this might lead to WWIII and/or Armageddon. The cold war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union was about to reach the boiling point. At school we had practice drills in case an atomic bomb was dropped on Los Angeles about 20 miles away. My job in the drill was to quickly draw the heavy vinyl drapes so no light/radiation or breaking glass could get into the classroom, as if that could stop it! All I remember is that it was a terrifying time for everyone, including Witnesses, because of the tense situation and uncertainty of what was going to happen from one day to the next. Later in life, I watched a documentary on this crisis, and I realized just how close the U.S. came to the brink of war and how serious the ramifications would have been. Looking back, I realize we had good reason to be more than a little anxious, if not scared. Just to add a little context, the Organization/Governing Body/Faithful and Discreet Slave didn't have a clear understanding of what the great tribulation was until 1970, (See w70 1/15 pgs. 41-56). In 1962, all we really understood was Armageddon and we thought that it could come at any time and very quickly as a result of a crisis of this magnitude.

    Even if the count was adjusted for "blocks" or "Streets" or "Neighborhoods" or whatever...it does not change the total per publisher. Every publisher will have to do a lot of pieces of territory. We have a little less than 100 publishers. We have about 150 territories (rural and village). That covers parts of 3 counties. We cover our territory about twice a year and the CO feels it is about right. That comes to about 1 to 1 1/2 territories every 6 months each.

    NASA’s Webb Reveals Dynamic Panorama of Star Formation Release date: 15 Sept 2026 10am ID: 2026-130 One of the largest Webb images released to date
 A stunning view of nearby star-forming region IC 348 reveals an active scene of newborn stars sculpting the environment surrounding them, as well as the smallest brown dwarfs ever discovered. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s deep observations of the region found brown dwarfs with masses as low as twice that of Jupiter, offering new clues, and new challenges, for understanding how stars and planetary-mass objects form. The observations offer a glimpse into one stage of the stellar lifecycle that Webb is exploring across the universe, from the birth of stars and planets to their eventual death. Article link: https://science.nasa.gov/missions/webb/nasas-webb-reveals-dynamic-panorama-of-star-formation/ Pic Description: This collage features a collection of insets from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s image of star-forming region IC 348: embedded stars, a central star cluster, faint outflows, Herbig-Haro objects, gravitational lensing, and spiral galaxies.

    1. There are 2 ways to accomplish this: (1) When territory is assigned, one selection is "NWP App Show To" Persons. (See image). This will cause the territory to show at the top of that person's territory list. It will be hidden from the other publishers. (2) This can later be changed in the NWP app itself, after the territory is assigned. Open the territory; scroll toward bottom till you see a heading called "Territory Management". The dropdown box can be used to change visibility of the territory. 2. No, you cannot totally hide the public witnessing schedule - it is visible to all. However, those who are not assigned that privilege cannot make any reservations.

      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.”

      Ai has been in the news lately as an existential threat to world…as a growing menace to society.  I couldn’t help but draw a comparison to the menace to society that appeared in Noah’s day…the Nephilim/angels. The  people of Noah’s day were helpless against the power and influence of rebellious angels and the Nephilim.  We too, (if we are to believe the power and influence of Ai) maybe as helpless as those in Noah’s day.
       
      Is Ai another indication (2Tim 1-6) as to where we are in the stream of time? With all that’s going on in the world (Matt 24:7) could Ai be the “tipping point” in harmony with Gen 6:5?
       
      We know Jehovah did not let the menacing influences take over in Noah’s day. He will soon end the Satanic (Ai et.al) influences that permeate our world today and bring an end this system of things.
       
      I will continue to enhance, nurture and fortify my relationship with Jehovah, Jesus and my brothers and sisters.

      Hello again, everyone!
      Imperfection has a way of getting the best of me sometimes—I had actually forgotten that I had signed up on this site.
      A short introduction: I reside in northern New Mexico and attend the Chamisa Taos Congregation. I have been baptized since 1986.
      Expressing myself and sharing about who I am here is a bit new to me, but I’m looking forward to getting to meet new friends

      I have been going through some situations lately, and honestly, it really discouraged me. I became less active in attending meetings and doing some of the things I normally do. I was feeling very down.
       
      But something happened that really helped me regain my strength.
       
      I started seeing videos on TikTok about the recent earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters happening in different parts of Asia and other places. Seeing all those things reminded me of the words of Jesus about earthquakes, famines, pestilences, and other events that would happen during the conclusion of this system of things. He also reminded us not to panic or become frightened when we see these things happening.
       
      That really made me stop and think.
       
      I began meditating more on Jehovah's prophecies and the things we have been taught through his organization. I realized again how grateful I am to be among Jehovah's people, because we have been taught to understand what these events mean. Many people see these things happening but may not understand their significance.
       
      For me, seeing all those events was a reminder that Jehovah's promises are real and that we are living in the time the Bible warned us about.
       
      And somehow, I felt my strength coming back.
       
      My faith came back. I started attending meetings again and became more active in my worship of Jehovah. I realized that even when I feel weak or discouraged, Jehovah has not forgotten me.
       
      I am truly grateful for the love, care, and patience Jehovah has continued to show me. I am also grateful for the reminders he has placed in my heart at a time when I really needed them.
       
      I just wanted to share this because sometimes we need a little reminder to look up, strengthen our faith, and remember why we trust in Jehovah in the first place. ❤️
