Most of the time, when the app drops support for older operating systems, is a sign that a major update is coming. This often happens because the upcoming release introduces newer architecture and technologies that older operating systems can no longer support. So, the next time you see an announcement like this, it may indicate that the app is preparing for significant changes or improvements, and of course, new features. A clue!, whoop whoop. 😁

Easy enough - she uses the same PIN as her husband! (There is no secret CO stuff involved here - just meeting schedule and territory access) Just think of it as a brother with 2 phones, or a phone and a tablet. They are both connected to his same account, and that usually works fine. (I know that the NWP documents say the system is designed to support a single device, but almost everyone in our congregation runs NWP on a phone and a tablet with no issues). When subst. CO is visiting, you could try doing it exactly the same - let all 4 share the same CO PIN. Haven't ever tried it, but might work.

It gives us time to replace older devices. The last update I received said "This is the last version that will support Android 8, 9, and 10. To receive future versions of JW Library, you need to update your device's operating system.'

The video only showcases the major changes to the app, but there will also be additional smaller features and changes included that weren't mentioned at all. So yes, more is coming, what are they? you'll see more early next year. But if you all are really excited, you can watch the video again because some of them already appeared briefly.

I like this feature. I noticed it in the JW documents apart of hub.jw.org when I was looking over some documents for either public talks or dc-82 forms. The citation when tapped came up from the bottom of the screen. This was like almost a month ago. I didn't think it would be apart of JW library. Looks very nice 😁

What I want from the beginning!

For that, user accounts would be needed

Hurray!! No bold strikethrough or underline ;(

I just wish I could receive updates on the app when a new letter or guidelines are added to the jwhub xD

With so many previously website-only features being added to JWL, perhaps soon we will be able to use the Meetings Search, make donations, and even more right inside the app.

I think the design is really well optimized. I love it! And hopefully, we'll soon have formatting options (bold, italics, etc.) for the notes we create. That would be my biggest feature request, haha!

Well, as I mentioned before early this year, there it is!. A new design.

This is IT for me!

On the surface it looks like a ‘ no brainier’ . Of course we would choose life over death. However, we are human and as the years grind on it is easy to lose faith. So we must keep up our spiritual defences and keep close to Jehovah. There are so many distractions in this world and our emotions come into it So we have to stay alert and remember scriptures like this.

Shorter trimmed is neater, preferable imho. I wish my late husb was still alive to see the new beards growing at meetings. He had a soul patch once. Thanks for posting this thread and for the gender id. Not-a-sister was my guess, too. but there wasn't a poll for that.

What do you say when you discover the stranger next to you at a bar has ordered the same drink you did? "Great minds drink alike"

I am excited to welcome back my older daughter. She has been gone now for 16 years. She was someone, that because of a severe mental illness and drug use, I never got to know as an adult. My parents raised her, it was a complicated story. She had MS and was found dead in her car in the next town over, where she lived. MS causes a problem with the bodys' ability to regulate temperature, and it was late June/early July when she was found. It took us 7 months to get a coroners' report and despite my worry that she died of an overdose, it was a heatstroke that killed her. Because of our history, I can't wait for her to come back with a healthy body and mind so we can really get to know each other as family.

A dead star is flashing radio waves every 8 minutes, and its partner looks a lot like the Sun Published: 12 November 2026 9 pm Since 2022, astronomers have been puzzling over a new kind of cosmic object called long-period radio transients. These are objects that emit bright flashes of radio waves into space every few minutes to every few hours. Some have been traced back to binary systems of a small, dim cool star called a red dwarf in orbit with a star remnant called a white dwarf. In new research published today in Nature Astronomy, we report the first discovery of a different source for one of these enigmatic intermittent broadcasters: it still involves a white dwarf, but also a star much like our own Sun. The search for sources After the discovery of the first long-period radio transient in 2022, once we had ruled out aliens, we went looking for natural explanations. One idea was that they were extremely slow-spinning neutron star pulsars, the collapsed cores of enormous stars which also send out repeating radio flashes. But in theory a neutron star spinning that slowly shouldn’t produce radio waves, so the answer had to be something else. When we started traced these radio signals back to their sources, we made a breakthrough. One of our repeating signals came from a red dwarf star, probably orbiting a white dwarf (the remnant of a star like our Sun).

Now THAT is a communications problem! 😂 Microsoft Outlook is having email problems, but they can't email customers to explain the email problems because email isn't working. It's like the fire department calling to report that their phones are down. Maybe they should send a letter. Assuming Microsoft Word is still working.

Definitely go for this! 😍
