  1. Past hour
  2. and then we have just in report about sweden https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/sweden/Stockholm-Court-Ruling-Reinforces-Religious-Freedom-for-Jehovahs-Witnesses-in-Sweden/
  3. never realised how many atttacks there had been on JWs it western europe https://bitterwinter.org/hate-crimes-against-the-jehovahs-witnesses-in-western-europe/
  4. Today
  5. Hi again Jonathan. Retired programmer here too. As @computerwiz says it needs to make it to GitHub so we can take a look at it. And also now with AI a good programmer does not need to be up to date on the current language, AI will write the code as really with a good programmer prompting it does quite good as long as there is a experinced programmer. I did come from the .NET world but I would use AI at this point because of speed. AI is really something now. (AI wise I use Claude) Anyway, If I can help let me know. (if you are going to split up work you also need a project manager or programmer that will wear that hat) "the underground" to the New World. I had not heard that before but it made me smile. (I live in a city on the frontlines of a war, many days when I go to bed I wonder if me and the wife will wake up here or in paridise 😃 ) Dear brother Jonathan, Jehovah loves us all. Brotherly love from Ukraine.

  7. Yes, it can be great fun, and frustrating too:) Who is saint Louis?
  8. Antarctica now 3rd lowest, losing gains during winter.
  9. Hello, dear brothers and sisters. I would like to know if anyone has the missing information from the comment above regarding song 119 in RC 2018. In the musical prelude, three languages were used, two of which were Ukrainian and Mandarin Chinese. But does anyone know what the other language is, the one in the verse 1? https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=share&wtlocale=E&lank=pub-jwbcov_201805_32_VIDEO&ts=00:04:13
  10. My wife and I definitely enjoyed it. My observation would be that although I could easily follow the conclusions reached, the explanations leading to those conclusions were often quite deep for a simpleton like me. There had to be at least 10 or more words that I had never heard in my life. 😁
  11. No sooner had the UN been established that it built military might and attacked the Congo (sad situation that seems to never stop.) The UN has contributed to constant warfare. I had read a book years ago, but it seems to be unavailable now and reports of UN history are not accurate or biased.
  12. I didn't know this. But after I posted, I thought no, Trump's UN Ambassador would veto Obama
  13. it will be fun to the the family tree line in Paradise. My grand mother did one before passing away like 20 years ago... It was going back to "Saint Louis"... that's quite crazy
  14. or just click the picture I posted, it links directly to it
  15. Yesterday
  16. I don't mind replying to people it's why I joined really to get some encouragement and some social communication. Not exactly socializing just human interaction I don't get a lot of that in a full-time carer. Thanks for the advice anyway. I haven't actually got back to everybody's reply and I'm sure it will tale off when the excitement has worn off a little bit. I'm enjoying at the moment. I'm not so worried about repeating myself, I just hope anybody that is in contact with me will accept my apologies if I get them confused with another brother or sister;) I am at the end of my day here is extremely late at the end of my caring duties. I have a busy day the next day so I probably won't be on as much as I was originally. I expect it will fluctuate like everybody. Thanks for your concern though. I have got a head screwed on when it comes to making decisions for myself where it counts. Christian warmth to you
  17. The UN want a woman this time elections are due in October let’s see..
  18. A brother just told me that he can't open the Announcements in NWP. He is using the latest update #15 and has the settings to use his device PDF viewer. Is anyone else having the same problem?
  19. Julie, it can be overwhelming when you receive a lot of replies, especially by private messenger. Don't feel pressured to reply to everyone. Also, many times it's better to mention something in a forum discussion rather than answer to several private messages asking the same thing.
  20. My very first thought when this showed up in my email box was that my data had been exposed publicly on the internet. And I saw where it was from, and certainly understood it was the day's text. That probably says something about the times we live in. When we hear the words "publicly exposed," we immediately think of privacy breaches, hacked accounts, and stolen information. For Paul and the first-century Christians, the exposure was different. Their faith, their loyalty to Christ, and their identity as Christians were publicly exposed. Once people knew where they stood, reproaches and tribulations often followed. There's a warning for us.. We will not be surprised if our loyalty to Jehovah becomes increasingly visible to others. Paul was not caught off guard by that reality, and neither should we be. Instead, we can rely on Jehovah, confident that he will help us endure whatever comes our way.
  21. I have a piece of software out of Germany. It's built for Apple devices. It's called the Mac Family Tree. It has resources built into it, well not built into it, that it can access that has been quite helpful for me. ADDED: I went back and looked and FamilySearch.org is one of its sources too.
  22. Friday, June 19 You were publicly exposed both to reproaches and to tribulations.—Heb. 10:33. The apostle Paul could speak with conviction about what it takes to endure. He reminded Christians that when enduring trials, they needed to rely not on themselves but on Jehovah. Paul could say with courage: “Jehovah is my helper; I will not be afraid.” (Heb. 13:6) Some of our brothers are enduring persecution right now. We can loyally support them by means of our prayers and, at times, in practical ways. The Bible clearly says, however, that “all those desiring to live with godly devotion in association with Christ Jesus will also be persecuted.” (2 Tim. 3:12) For that reason, all of us need to prepare for what lies ahead. Let us continue to trust fully in Jehovah, confident that he will help us to endure any trial that may come our way. In due time, he will bring relief to all his faithful worshippers.—2 Thess. 1:7, 8. w24.09 13 ¶17-18
  23. If you are from Europe.. My heritage might be better since it is out of Israel and usually is more Europe centric .. Another option is go to https://www.familysearch.org/ and set up an account for free and see what they have .. they are actually pretty good but you can’t upload your DNA file at this time .. but it will link your relatives to other people who are also looking for their ancestors.., you won’t find any living relatives since that is an invasion of privacy.. On the commercial sites people may grant access to their tree including living relatives.. so that becomes a mutual sharing. …

  25. I didn't realise it listed cousins and email addresses. I know the names of grandparents and great grandparents and in some cases great great grandparents. But it is the people I can trace that I live in now that would be important to me. Especially on my dad's side. Very interesting.

    • 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.”

      Sniff, THE turtle has turned himself into Prince Charming. Somehow the mutation has gone horribly wrong.

      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.
       
      I don't know why and it makes me very sad
