    Where were you when Lincoln was shot?
  3. Tortuga
    That seems to be the first thing to look at. Our territories average 40-80 homes per territory. If they have just 60 homes per territory, they have over 84,000 homes in their territory. That ain't right....
  4. Qapla
    Back when it first started taking hold and worldwide usage increased people thought the Internet was a threat and might need international control. The international control never really came, and the Internet did not have the effects many feared ... although it has had other effects and has spread worldwide. There have been many inventions that spelled "doom" according to some people (look at self-checkout in retail stores) however isn't Jehovah going to put the idea in the hearts and minds of men (people) not machines?

    The first "where you when" moment I can remember would be the JFK assassination. The next may have been the premier of Star Trek on TV. Others I remember (in no particular order: Moon landing Apollo 13 John Lennon Berlin wall Challenger - we saw that from the front yard Vietnam War ending Hurricanes Andrew and Catrina 3-mile Island and Chrernobyl 9/11 Trump being elected for a second time I'm sure there are others - they just don't come right to mind

    I have a question regarding the territory limit in NW. It appears that NW Gold supports a maximum of 1,000 territories. However, I'm helping a congregation that has around 1,400 territories. That seems like a very large number, but I haven't questioned whether the count is correct. They are already using NW for scheduling talks and other congregation activities, but they are not currently using it for territory management. Is there any way to increase the territory limit beyond 1,000, or is there another recommended solution for congregations with more than 1,000 territories? I could ask NW directly, but I'd rather avoid doing that, as my previous experiences with their responses haven't been particularly positive.

    I don't think so. When I purchased a new phone I installed JWLibrary, then restored my backup file. Then I had to manually download each publication, video and song that I wanted.

    Space Shuttle explosion. I was pioneering, had just returned around noon to the hall. I was standing at the report desk, and a brother came in the back door, and asked if we heard about the shuttle. We had not, and he filled us in. Went home instead of service and watched the news for the rest of the day.

    Hi everyone, I recently had to restore my iPad to factory settings, and now I need to reload all my JW Library .jwpub files. Is there a quick or efficient way to download them again without having to manually open each publication one by one? Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Last year it started to show up in November too. Best in mind that if you are selected you’ll get info. If you’re not you’re status won’t change.

    JFK: I was in school. Someone whispered to me,"The president's shot!" Bostonians, we drooped those Rs. I thought she was talking about his height b/c so many people talked about his appearance. This was followed by days of watching people around me cry. The space shuttle: I was just starting to go out in service and was told not to bring it up. (Got Baptized later that year.)
  21. kejedo
    Yup, i had that show on. I think I watch too much tv, but this, yearly, reminds me how uninformed I am.

    Kennedy assassination. Age 7 Sick home from school and mom had fixed a pallet on the sofa for me to watch TV while she did ironing. I don't remember the TV as much as I remember her being in shock and crying. Moon landing My dad called me to the TV where we watched and he told me to remember this moment as history was being made. NASA SPACE CHALLENGER blew apart shortly after launch and 7 astronauts were lost. Then OKC bombing just dropped kids off at school. Then 9/11 tragedy. 3 births I remember but not as clearly as the 9/11 event. I suspect my next one will be GT realization possibly Armageddeon.
  25. Wanda Hill
    Mine was the assassination of John Kennedy. I was 8 and in school, they sent us all home, most of us had no idea that it was such a monumental event in history. I remember that my teacher was so upset that she wrote what happened on the blackboard.
  26. Dages
    That would be the Berlin Wall but I was too young to be asked about it. So, for France, I'd say it's either 9/11 OR the 1998 Soccer World Cup where France won 3-0 against Brazil. In Japan, I think the most common would be : the 1995 Kobe earthquake
  27. Ludwika
    For me it was Kennedy's assassination. I was 11 years old and in the kitchen, when from the lounge I heard the BBC announce "President Kennedy has been shot". We couldn't believe it.
  28. Tortuga
    I was in the hospital when I was born, I don't remember being there but I saw the paperwork. Other than that, I remember the Kennedy assassination, moon landing and a lot of the events you listed. I'd love to meet anyone here that was around when Lincoln was assassinated
  29. LeolaRootStew
    I think 9/11 was my first event - I was 11.
  30. LeolaRootStew
    I've gotten Witnesses at the door. We waited for a respectful pause and told them we were one of them and they did a good job with their presentation. ❤️
  31. Shawnster
    Where were you when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor? Where were you when man landed on the moon? Where were you when Lincoln, Kennedy, or Reagan was Shot? Where were you when the Challenger exploded? Where were you when 9/11 happened? My apologies for the US-sentric examples. What is your EARLIEST "where were you when" moment? It might be the moon landing. It might be the Union Carbide deaths in India. It might the Chernobyl disaster. It does not mattw5 what the historical event was. What I want to know is what is the earliest event that happened during your life that is now in the history books?
  32. Liz2026
    How do you know? I submitted my application and was wondering when they’ll reply.

    Yes, when we lived in another location and letter was from a different cong. But also I think it was at least twice, others in my cong rec'd a letter from me. 😅

      jwhess posted a post in a topic,

      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.”

      Ai has been in the news lately as an existential threat to world…as a growing menace to society.  I couldn’t help but draw a comparison to the menace to society that appeared in Noah’s day…the Nephilim/angels. The  people of Noah’s day were helpless against the power and influence of rebellious angels and the Nephilim.  We too, (if we are to believe the power and influence of Ai) maybe as helpless as those in Noah’s day.
       
      Is Ai another indication (2Tim 1-6) as to where we are in the stream of time? With all that’s going on in the world (Matt 24:7) could Ai be the “tipping point” in harmony with Gen 6:5?
       
      We know Jehovah did not let the menacing influences take over in Noah’s day. He will soon end the Satanic (Ai et.al) influences that permeate our world today and bring an end this system of things.
       
      I will continue to enhance, nurture and fortify my relationship with Jehovah, Jesus and my brothers and sisters.

      Hello again, everyone!
      Imperfection has a way of getting the best of me sometimes—I had actually forgotten that I had signed up on this site.
      A short introduction: I reside in northern New Mexico and attend the Chamisa Taos Congregation. I have been baptized since 1986.
      Expressing myself and sharing about who I am here is a bit new to me, but I’m looking forward to getting to meet new friends

      I have been going through some situations lately, and honestly, it really discouraged me. I became less active in attending meetings and doing some of the things I normally do. I was feeling very down.
       
      But something happened that really helped me regain my strength.
       
      I started seeing videos on TikTok about the recent earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters happening in different parts of Asia and other places. Seeing all those things reminded me of the words of Jesus about earthquakes, famines, pestilences, and other events that would happen during the conclusion of this system of things. He also reminded us not to panic or become frightened when we see these things happening.
       
      That really made me stop and think.
       
      I began meditating more on Jehovah's prophecies and the things we have been taught through his organization. I realized again how grateful I am to be among Jehovah's people, because we have been taught to understand what these events mean. Many people see these things happening but may not understand their significance.
       
      For me, seeing all those events was a reminder that Jehovah's promises are real and that we are living in the time the Bible warned us about.
       
      And somehow, I felt my strength coming back.
       
      My faith came back. I started attending meetings again and became more active in my worship of Jehovah. I realized that even when I feel weak or discouraged, Jehovah has not forgotten me.
       
      I am truly grateful for the love, care, and patience Jehovah has continued to show me. I am also grateful for the reminders he has placed in my heart at a time when I really needed them.
       
      I just wanted to share this because sometimes we need a little reminder to look up, strengthen our faith, and remember why we trust in Jehovah in the first place. ❤️
