We only have one territory/complex that would be brothers only, and it is just marked in the territory notes... and I don't assign it to sisters too I guess😅 You could always use one of the custom buttons for that if you have multiple individual addresses that need brothers only I suppose. We also only use the At Home and Not at Home buttons as we found having too many options led to lots of confusion and mistakes. For new Do Not Calls, they have to put a note in the address explaining why and our territory brothers convert it, but that's because we were getting lots of new DNCs from multiple people and we were trying to figure out why... We also have one of the custom buttons called Campaign that we turn on for campaigns so the publishers can track which houses they have done in their territory both in and out of a campaign (we don't start fresh in campaigns, we have everyone just start working their existing assignments as campaign territories). No Trespassing, Vacant, Gated, those are all up to the publishers to take care of and note when they go into the territories. If they need letters written because you can't get to the front door for example, it is up to the publisher assigned to send a letter or get someone else to; we have so much letter writing territory already it would be too much work to try add those. The transition was easy, the program helps you through it. There were relatively few data issues that we had to fix manually, and this was very early on in the NWS days.

How does your congregation mark the locations that are "Brothers Only" ?

While I'm aghast I can also see the pluses to it. But I'm still shocked. But well maybe...uh no....hmmm...no....

This is too weird not to share. East Coast gets first human composting facility as greener end-of-life option gains ground https://share.google/I0K2pzV0tcQTJ41BK "Honey, Don't forget to put Grandma on the lawn before you go to work"

We have enabled NWS Mobile. So far OK!

I may have missed them but I don't remember seeing any example emails that support that, just the general "vibe" claim repeated. I shared mine specifically because I think it's easy to project condescension onto a message that's just being direct or efficient.

Kingdom Hall Operating Committee

Kingdom Hall Operating Committee They are only formed when there is more than one congregation meeting at the same kingdom hall.

Monday, August 10 You husbands, . . . assign them honor as to a weaker vessel, the feminine one.—1 Pet. 3:7. A recent report from the World Health Organization indicates that many husbands physically, verbally, or emotionally abuse their wife. A husband who does this might treat his wife respectfully in front of others but then mistreat her at home. What can cause some husbands to be abusive? They may have been raised by a violent father, so they think that abusive behavior is normal. Others are influenced by the culture around them, which may promote the wrong idea that “a real man” must use force to show his wife who is the boss. Other men were not taught to control their emotions, including their anger. Some men have developed a warped view of women and sex because of regularly viewing pornography. Additionally, reports indicate that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified these problems. Of course, none of these factors justify a husband’s abusive behavior. w25.01 8 ¶2-3

Oooh interesting, what’s khoc?

The branch is rolling out software to schedule KHOC assignments. It is being done through JW Hub Project Tasks.

We had a great WT study about respecting other people's decisions. So I hope that works out for you 🤣

Anyone use for scheduling KHOC tasks? We have 3 congregations, I want to create a schedule. Is there a way to assign a task to an individual from the other congregations? Or just to the other congregation and they have to manage their own schedule? tia

I'm a Blue Jays fan... Sadly that's all I can say right now. 😔

That's what I'm thinking. We have all of the signs that we are in the last days so whether Jehovah has a predetermined date or not really doesn't affect us, it will happen right in time, whatever determines that time is.

If there were such an adjustment . . . we should roll with it . . . but, I think many would be stumbled. It would feel as if we really don't know anything. Maybe it's not that Jehovah has picked the year, month and day. Maybe it's that Jehovah has already decided "when mankind reaches this point of debauchery". That would align with his move against Nimrod and the Tower of Babel. He acted when the situation called for action. Another way the FDS has explained the timing is "this system will not go on for one day longer than justice requires", and "Patience must yield to justice", etc. That leans toward the Nimrod example. In any case, Mt 24:34 will be fulfilled.

I agree. If price needs to be adjusted, I can understand that. But a software you pay for cannot have a support like that. There are programs I have bought for $25 or $50, one single payment, not a subscription, and when I ask a question I receive a kind answer. I am not required to read the whole working manual and write a composition about it before asking. If many users ask the same questions, that means the interface is not clear enough. Fix the issues and the number of support tickets will greatly decrease.

Sorry to hear. These are truly difficult times hard to deal with.

43 now +33 = 76 Some of family died in cancer in their late 30s. Im having problem with my stomach and im having a tumor in different parts of my body .. I dunno if they're benign or cancerous .. Life is shorter these days..

I'm in agreement with many who post here that there's definitely an air of condescension in much of their support communications, along with a feeling that they would much prefer not to be bothered with sincere questions from users. I must say that I have experienced a higher quality of response when I email them directly using the support email address, as opposed to the process through the website. Having said that, on one occasion when I was not satisfied with the tone or the level of help that I experienced, I emailed back in a very professional but direct way as I would with any commercial software outlining exactly what I expect and how I expect to be treated as a paying customer. The response I got was very satisfactory.

In 33 years? You're younger than me and, baring unforseen events, I'll be in my late 80s. It's definitely reasonable to believe I'll still be alive then.

I have had quite the opposite experience. But at the same time because I also work in tech support I know the value of gathering all the evidence and screenshots. I do that anyway even if they did not ask for it. I have check many of my replies and this is usually what I get.

Dear sister Leslie. I don’t know how I’ve missed these recipes. I hope you post more. Will be trying the buns and the roast real soon. You truly are a gem , one I would love. To meet one day.
