Installed and linked fine on my iPhone. UI issues pasting various codes and passwords in on the iPad. I watched another brother type those in without any issue at all on his iPad, was a copy and paste issue. Felt like a problem in whatever UI framework they're using, could make progress by rotating the screen. NWS Mobile displays incorrect PINs for publishers, apparently two leading '0' for older 6 digit PINs. These won't work in Publisher. A Life and Ministry assignment made on NWS Mobile only partially synced with desktop Scheduler well after the assignment was made. Name field was blank on desktop but Chairman Outline and NWS Publisher showed the brother scheduled. No update at the time for Scheduler. Restart a couple of times resolved it.

I have been doomed since the day I was born. For now chocolate is my hope.

Without Jehovahs intervention, we were all doomed.

We are supposed to get +1C or 34 F on Tuesday. Much better than the -25C with windchill of -35 to -40 we have had past weekend.

DIARY OF A BMW DRIVER.. The other day I was cruising along as usual coming onto one of my motorways, which was very busy with inferior cars First off, I couldn't believe that the volume of traffic DIDN'T slow down for me AT ALL as I came off the slip road! I had to squeeze into a barely big enough gap between two cars in order to get onto my motorway! The driver of the car behind me did realise his mistake though and honked an apology to me with a long blast of his horn. Unbelievably, I had to do the same again before I could get to the BMW lane. Anyway, once I was in the BMW lane and posing along at 110 mph enjoying the adulation that the inferior car drivers were giving me, I noticed an inferior car ahead of me which was not only in the BMW lane of my motorway, but was driving at a ridiculous 70 mph! Naturally, I got within a foot or so of his rear bumper and flashed my headlights to remind him he shouldn't be in the BMW lane of my motorway and to get out of my way. Of course, once he realised it was a BMW behind him, he did just that, but I could hardly believe it when he pulled straight back out behind me! He also tried to keep up with me and when he realised I would out-run him, he put on some blue lights in his front grill and urged me to get onto the hard shoulder so that he could congratulate me on my excellent car. Needless to say, I was eager to oblige and when we had stopped, the man gave me a piece of paper confirming what I already knew - that my car goes fast! Apparently he wants everyone to know what a superior car I have, so I had to take my drivers licence to a police station to be sent away to have some points put on! (They're not free points either - they're £20 each and I was only allowed 3.) But the man at the police station said that because I drive a BMW, it won't be much longer before I earn the full 12 points, and then I won't even NEED a driving licence, so they will take it off me! See, now THAT'S the sort of respect you get when you own and drive a BMW!

There are times when we need to make decisions. They do not stand out. They begin as an inclination, or as a way we justify a choice. It is the moment when we choose not to reflect the God whom we worship—and yet those moments matter deeply. Those moments can be dangerous because they are familiar. They are not about rebellion. Often, they feel reasonable. This won’t matter. I deserve this. Just this once. Our minds are remarkably skilled at softening the edges of conscience, especially when there is no immediate consequence. - Jer. 17:9; Heb. 3:12, 13 In many cases, the pressure is not external. What is on the outside may open the door, but the decision itself is internal. The heart leans in before the feet move. Rationalization begins long before action follows. The real danger is a lack of honesty with ourselves. An honest person is willing to ask uncomfortable questions early—before things go awry. That kind of self-examination is protective. It aligns us with who we want to be, rather than who we can justify becoming. - Ps. 139:23, 24; Prov. 4:23 Growth often begins with a pause—a moment of consideration, a willingness to acknowledge that something is shifting and needs to be addressed. When that awareness is exercised consistently, it becomes a safeguard. Integrity, then, is proved when no one is watching—when the heart chooses clarity over comfort.

It is not FDA approved and not insured by the government too. If you want to risk yourself into this, then be my guest. I wonder who behind this? Here some info: While Bitcoin itself is a decentralized digital asset, it is heavily targeted by scammers. Common frauds include guaranteed high-return investment schemes, fake mining operations, "pig butchering" scams, and phishing attempts, often resulting in total loss of funds . Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warns that crypto investments are often fake, with criminals in control of the assets. Risks: Unlike regulated investments, Bitcoin does not generate cash flow and is subject to extreme price volatility. Protection: Never share private keys, use reputable exchanges, and be wary of anyone instructing you to bypass banking security. Common Scams: Scammers often use social media or dating apps to build trust ("pig butchering"), promising high, guaranteed returns. Irreversible Nature: Transactions are permanent, making stolen Bitcoin nearly impossible to recover. Red Flags: Consumer Advice (FTC) warns that any unsolicited demand for payment in cryptocurrency for prizes, government fees, or investments is a scam .

Tuesday, February 10 Make sure of the more important things.—Phil. 1:10. Most of Jehovah’s people lead very busy lives. We work secularly to provide for ourselves and for our families. (1 Tim. 5:8) Many Christians look after sick or elderly relatives. And all of us need to care for our own health, which takes time. In addition to these responsibilities, we have assignments in the congregation. A key responsibility is to have a zealous share in the preaching work. Bible reading is one of “the more important things” for us as Christians, so we need to make it a priority. In speaking of a happy man, the very first psalm says: “His delight is in the law of Jehovah, and he reads His law in an undertone day and night.” (Ps. 1:1, 2) Clearly, that suggests setting time aside for such reading. When is the best time to read the Bible? The answer may be different for each of us. But put simply, it would be a time when you can do so regularly. w24.09 3 ¶5-6

Should hit 40 Weds, first time above freezing for long time. Has been below avg for Jan and Feb.

Bitcoin isn't a scam.....but the powers that be figured out how to rig it. Using ETFs and other junk like that, they can now manipulate the price & make money on the ups AND the downs. The wild crash of silver shows how easily they can move prices they have control of. No such thing as easy money for us....unless you wanna partake of Satan's table. In any case, proper research would reveal that during Bitcoin's bear cycle, a 70-90% crash in value is NORMAL. This is expected. Even without their manipulation. Know what you're getting into... Always do research & invest responsibly!

Warning/ Guterres: Global economy must surpass GDP to avoid planetary catastrophe - Kosova & Bota For decades, politicians and policymakers have prioritized growth, measured by GDP, as the primary economic goal. But critics argue that endless, indiscriminate growth on a planet with limited resources is fueling not only the climate and environmental crises, but also rising inequality. Economic growth measured by GDP can hide poverty, inequality, violence, and human rights abuses. The UN aims to complement GDP with broader indicators to assess real human well-being, equality, and environmental sustainability. This move follows warnings that current economic models ignore climate shocks, which could threaten global economic stability. World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting 2026 The numbers tell a sobering story. Nearly one-third of global GDP (approximately $31 trillion) faces high water stress by 2050. Today, 2.1 billion people still lack access to safe drinking water. The global water cycle is increasingly "out of balance," delivering too much water in some places (catastrophic floods), too little in others (severe droughts), and water that's too polluted almost everywhere. This isn't a future risk, it's a present crisis affecting supply chains, agricultural production, and human security. The AI-Environment Paradox By 2030, global data centers could consume 945 terawatt-hours annually. That’s more than Germany and France combined. Approximately 20% of electricity demand growth may come from AI-related computing. Water stress from cooling data centers compounds freshwater scarcity in regions already facing shortages. Beyond the Noise: Key Takeaways from Davos 2026 - CO2 AI Ecclesiastes 8:9: "during the time that man has dominated man to his harm." Revelation 11:17, 18: “We thank you, Jehovah God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and begun ruling as king... and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.”

China has the same issue. Just google it

Since we have started using the NWS Mobile, many of the friends have been disconnected from the NW Publisher app. Their name and personal pin are correct, but they receive the following error message "Sorry, this information does not match anyone in this congregation. Please try again or try using CAPITAL LETTERS when entering your First name, or contact your local elders, or tap Help".

KSTME KIds sometimes try my energy. CHANG

Just activated yesterday. Installed on a high-end Samsung Android tablet. Install: Had trouble finding NW Scheduler on Google Play Store - had to spell it out completely for some reason Activation: simple enough, but notice they now send you a one-time activation code to your email. Normal Startup: Time to sync with congregation data is about same as desktop User Interface: Different from Desktop, of course. But very simple and intuitive Responsiveness: VERY quick - seems faster than desktop for displaying data Usefulness - only Data updating: haven't tried any yet.

Interesting that according to UN Statute such country as Russia is absent in Security Council. There is still USSR instead. When USSR has broken up General UN Asamblee has raised condition when Russia can replace USSR. It should be only if ALL the 15 fromer Soviet Republics agreed with that, but Georgia and Baltic countries has banned this. And it never will be. So strictly told Russia has legal problems as a part of Security Council. Maybe with a different General Secretary of UN this question will be raised again, who knows..

It is sad that millions (around 55 million) around 10 countries are losing money in this scam https://www.reuters.com/business/bitcoin-slumps-with-key-70000-level-sight-2026-02-05/ Beware of this my brothers and sisters.

The little lad must have been on his best behaviour

btw, even a broken clock is right twice a day..

Before I checked the 'Hide' option..........well, I would prefer a bed near the window

The distractions is actually total chaos. One crisis after another so that people are unable to focus on anything. Some members of the Trump family call "Donald" the most dangerous man in the world. Everyone has an opinion.

The strange part is the Security Council. Five nations (U.S., U.K., France, Russia, and China), one veto from one of those nations can stop the U.N. from taking any action. Somehow the government in Taiwan was replaced by the mainland Chinese government years ago. I believe that fear of the US, which used to be the "leader of the so-called free world", could be the excuse the nations use when they do Jehovah's thoughts and give their power to the UN. How would they get around the US veto on things they want to do.
