  1. Past hour
  2. I still don't have it on my Apple devices. I did download it on Windows. Note: since it is on Windows, I do my research on WTL , not the app.
  3. Thanks. 1440 is another group that claims to be unbiased in the news they curate. It's delivered to your email. https://join1440.com/#daily-news
  4. Today
  5. How’s everybody liking the new update I teased about? 😂
  6. Before you abandon Windows, just note what the website says about it NWS Mobile is a mobile version of New World Scheduler and contains many features found in NWS Desktop. It does not contain all the features of the Desktop version (at least not for now) So make sure the features you need and use are in the Mobile version. I couldn't find on the website what features are not included with the Mobile version. My guess is that admins will still need to use the Desktop version.
  7. No, I don’t. I do have a daughter, Debbie. She lives in Brantford, Ontario. Thanks for asking. Your sis, Bea

  8. Advantageous opportunities don’t present themselves very often but when they do it is best to make the most of them.
  9. Thanks @chuck83, I didn’t know that. That really sounds great. I’ll be happy to not use UTM for AMR based windows virtual machine on my Mac.
  10. And one day, during the 1000 years, or after... we will speak with Jehovah like Moses did, and even more... how glorious it will be !
  11. Have you guys tried Ground News? It gives quick summaries of a collection of news articles discussing the same topic along with their political biases. My mother has been skimming the website for a few days (for free) and she says the bullet points are basically the facts of the news, with no commentary. https://ground.news
  12. I found RT, CNN and Al Jezeera most biased. (Al Jazeera is viewed as Qatar propaganda arm and got banned in few countries for biased views on Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, and anti Israel views ..etc - since October 7 attack it got even worse.) RT is outright propaganda tool of Russia. CNN can't stand Trump. In relation to PBS, yes they are biased but not as much as 3 main ones above. Interesting read about PBS here: https://www.allsides.com/news-source/pbs-newshour-media-bias#what-this-rating-means Despite instances of left-leaning story choice, reviewers from the left, center, and right noted many instances of balance. Awake magazine had an excellent article on this subject. Readers were encouraged to meditate on those questions: PROVIDER: Does the report come from a credible, authoritative person or organization? Does the program or publication have a reputation for seriousness or for sensationalism? Who provide the funds for the news source? SOURCES: Is there evidence of thorough research? Is the story based on just one source? Are the sources reliable, fair, and objective? Are they balanced, or have they been selected to convey only one point of view? PURPOSE: Ask yourself: ‘Is the news item primarily to inform or entertain? Is it trying to sell or support something?’ TONE: When the tone of a news item is angry, spiteful, or highly critical, it suggests that an attack is under way and not a reasoned argument. CONSISTENCY: Are the facts consistent with those in other articles or reports? If stories contradict one another, be careful! TIMELINESS: Is the information recent enough to be acceptable? Something thought to be correct 20 years ago may be discounted today. On the other hand, if the news item is a breaking story, it may lack complete and comprehensive information. Sorry - lets just go back to PS discussions or news - no need to reply to this post.
  13. Are you kidding they the most bias including CNN msnbc CBS ABC all the same
  14. Jehovah does not pretend that marriage is easy. He says that married people will have “tribulation in their flesh.” That is realistic. Two imperfect people do not suddenly become perfect just because they said vows. Different habits, backgrounds, and expectations can rub against each other over time. — 1 Corinthians 7:28 The problem is not that difficulties exist. The danger comes when each mate decides the other one is the problem. When blame replaces self-examination—love cools and respect weakens. That is when thoughts like giving up begin to sound reasonable. Jehovah’s opinion is steady and protective. He does not tell husbands to wait until respect feels deserved, nor wives to wait until love feels effortless. He asks for action first. A husband shows love even when it costs him pride. A wife shows deep respect even when emotions are strained. Those choices protect the marriage arrangement itself. Malachi 2:16; Ecclesiastes 7:9; Ephesians 5:33 Think of it like repairing a bridge while still crossing it. If both stop working because the damage feels unfair, the bridge fails. If both keep repairing while walking carefully, the bridge holds. Love and respect work that way. They are not rewards at the end; they are the tools used along the way.
  15. Yesterday
  16. Sunday, December 28 Each one of you must love his wife as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.—Eph. 5:33. All marriages have difficulties. The Bible frankly acknowledges that married people will have “tribulation in their flesh.” (1 Cor. 7:28) Why? Because marriage brings two imperfect people together, each with different characteristics, likes, and dislikes. Mates may come from different cultures or backgrounds. They may, in time, display traits that were not noticeable before the wedding. Any of those things can cause friction. Instead of recognizing that each has a part in the problem and therefore should work to resolve it, they may blame their mate. They may even come to see separation or divorce as the solution. But is giving up on the marriage the answer? No. Jehovah directs that married people respect the marriage arrangement even if their mate is difficult to live with. w24.03 16 ¶8; 17 ¶11
  17. Here in the U P of Michigan we are now under a blizzard warning for Sunday the 28th into Monday. Very high winds and not inches but FEET of snow predicted. Not sure if it’s Ross’ or my area (county) but winds as high as 65 mph are also in the forecast. 
     Will definitely be watching Storm chasers on YouTube.

      I agree with Miss Bea, use good judgment and be careful out there. We are just South it Buffalo and know how bad it can get. 

  18. Broher called today. He and his wife will take me to oncologist Weds. Other brothers came by and took my mail in and cleared snow.  First week of winter and dosn't look good. I put dog's food aside for the rest of the day and she got into amd finished todays food. I had it set up for several days. Hope you had an exciting day.

  19. Hi! 2 years ago I had target to listen to all of Morning Worship recordings during my morning walks with dog in JW Library. It was great in my situation and daily habits. I have listened to everything from that section. To not loose what i have already listened to, after a walk i downloaded file for next day and deleted file that I've just finished. I wanted to do it one more time. But in the meantime i switched from iPhone to Android (Samsung). And I have a lot of friction: 1. There are sooooooo many videos that getting through all of them to the end (I wanted to start from the oldest) is hard, and after couple of videos I simply get lost in JW Library when trying to find the one that I finished. 2. When I listen to the program, it pauses after around 1-3 minutes and unfortunately clicking my earbuds doesn't work. I have to click "play" on the phone screen (kind of frustrating, but mostly problematic in cold days - additionally I walk with a leash in hand which doesn't help). Do you have any idea do to workaround this problems? It sounds quite pathetic as I wrote it, but I know myself and making act easy is most crucial form me to build good habit.
  20. Hi all, I just wanted to update my comment and add a tip. Although you cannot find a verse in JWL (yet), if you click at "Search in JW.ORG" at the bottom, it DOES the search online. It's a great feature, isn't it?
  21. That wasn’t my point, sorry did not explain properly. When I read CNN I gloss over any negative articles about Trump because I know they are anti-Trump. I will not waste my time. Same with Al Jazeera if they publish article about Israel, especially negative I would choose not to read it. Political issues and comments are very biased on any network. I prefer to stick with current, factual information presented there. Example of factual reporting is something like this: Zelensky to meet Trump on Sunday, Magnitude 6.7 earthquake in Japan etc. Simply saying I do not read biased reporting or articles.

    • 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.”

      Found this note I wrote myself. 
      Jehovah promises freedom to those who love him. He promises to catch our tears in his skin bottle. He has a high regard and love for us and is willing to reach out willingly to those who reach out to him. True freedom is bounded by God’s law, which allows full expression of the individual in a proper, upbuilding, and beneficial way, and which recognizes the rights of others, contributing to happiness for all. Therefore stand fast, and do not let yourselves be confined again in a yoke of slavery.
