I get this very occasionally (11” iPad Pro 2018, iPadOS 26.5). It selects the chapter 10 above (iirc) what I touch. (Landscape mode.) Pressing the Bible tab to start again fixes it for me.

I still hear occasionally the expectation about California. Even Oregon I think. No one has ever said it about Florida that I recall. Lived there many years with no idea there was a fault line anywhere close by. But now maybe we will hear some theories. It would give more coast line for people to live on 🤪 The earth has been changing for a long time. I expect it to continue.

Thursday, June 11 Do not become upset and turn to doing evil.—Ps. 37:8. When others misjudge us or mistreat us, we trust that Jehovah knows the truth. That confidence can help us to endure unfair treatment because we know that ultimately Jehovah will correct matters. By leaving things with Jehovah, we prevent anger or resentment from festering in our heart. Those emotions can cause us to overreact, can destroy our joy, and can damage our relationship with Jehovah. Of course, we will never be able to follow Jesus’ example perfectly. At times, we may do or say things that we later regret. (Jas. 3:2) And some injustices may leave us with emotional and physical scars that can be hard to bear. If that is true of you, be assured that Jehovah knows what you are going through. And Jesus, who also suffered unjustly, can sympathize with your feelings. (Heb. 4:15, 16) How happy we are that Jehovah gives us practical counsel that helps us to deal with injustice. w24.11 6 ¶12-13

NASA Webb Finds Strongest Evidence Yet for ‘Black Hole Stars’ Release date: 10 June 2026 10am; ID: 2026-119 Many of the scattered pieces of the little red dot puzzle are coming together. Since their initial discovery by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope in 2022, astronomers have been making steady progress in solving the mystery of these small, red objects that populate the early universe. By combining the power of Webb with a natural “telescope,” a team of scientists recently obtained the deepest spectrum to date of a little red dot. Referred to as GLIMPSE-17775, this compact red source’s abundant spectral lines provide multiple lines of evidence that converge to support the black hole star scenario: Little red dots are black holes enshrouded by cocoons of hot dense gas.

This little red dot is located behind Abell S1063. Credits: Image: NASA, ESA, CSA, Vasily Kokorev (UT Austin); Image Processing: Al yssa Pagan (STScI)

There’s an unofficial app for android tvs. I Forget what it’s called. Not sure if Samsung supports Android tv apps anyway tbh edit: found it again https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.com.dok.mjd.mpfjwb

I have not been walking my dog in this neighborhood b/c of bears. I carry her to my car for drives to change things for her when she wants to go out. A large bear ran in front of my moving car yesterday. Glad we were inside. Reports near here of dogs and their walkers being attacked by coyotes.

88 degrees F. My little dog is napping in front of an air conditioner, but I put a light covering over her. The rest of the house seems okay, so I may turn off air conditioner.

Our first German convention starts this week in Nuremberg. Therefore the convention schedule for Obsidian users. Enjoy. (I don't have an English version 🤷‍♂️) Convention.zip

I know we all love reading short but impactful articles so here is one: 1852—One Hundred Years Ago Charles Taze Russell was born and chose to make history. End of article.

Yes. I've choose to stay on iPadOS 18 because slide over works better here and, to be honest, iPadOS 26 or 27 does not bring any useful feature to me. "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it" I've installed this on JW Library version 15.6. If you have a version above that, you will not be able to import "custom" jwpub files Sure! I've used LiveContainer + SideStore to install another instance of JW Library. https://livecontainer.github.io/docs/installation/lc_sidestore

Love those!

There has been a "One Hundred Years Ago" article every year since 2014.

Thank you very much, B. Richard @Tortuga. Catchy titles. The hardest part will be waiting for them to come out.

Since the update hasn't made it across the ocean to France yet: could some kind-hearted, reptilian soul share the themes of these two Watchtowers... please, Brother Richard?🙏

I see this idea more as a matter of convenience and accessibility than anything else. Of course, all of the content is already available on JW.org, which is wonderful. However, on many Samsung and LG TVs, viewers usually need to open the web browser, go to JW.org, and then navigate to the video section. For some elderly brothers and sisters, or for people who are not very comfortable with technology, that process can be a little challenging. When I mention a FAST channel, I am referring to a continuous internet-based channel that runs 24 hours a day. Similar channels already exist for movies, documentaries, cartoons, news, and other types of content. The programming simply plays continuously, making it easy for viewers to access. I am also not referring to areas without internet access. In fact, there are already places, including some regions in Africa, where JW content is available through satellite television specifically to help areas where internet access may be limited. The idea of a JW FAST channel would be different. It would be aimed at people who already have internet access and use smart TVs regularly. In many parts of South America, devices such as Roku, Fire TV Stick, and Apple TV are not as common as Samsung and LG televisions. Since many people use these TVs directly, having a dedicated FAST channel could make Bible-based content easier to find and enjoy. Of course, this is just an idea. I simply think it could be another way to make Bible truth more accessible and help reach people who might not otherwise come across the content.

Thanks John, and I snagged the OG icon from John... not you John, but the other John... jwhess John, phew!

I just updated and see the two new Study WT. Nice!

That Icon change happened an update or two ago ... it was discussed in this thread

Can you explain how you do this? I have a M1 iPad Pro with iPadOS 26

I recently updated the Watchtower Library Windows app and noticed the icon has been changed. It has a red background, the watchtower, a CD ROM and an open Bible or publication. Any insight as to the change? Thanks Sam

That’s why you able to do it, M4 chip. I have I an iPad Air. You’re still on iPadOS 18? 27 will be out soon. Will the double or triple JWL taps work on iPadOS 26?

Timeframe? Before or after AM?
