    That's one possibility. On the other hand, not everything connects back to the Flood. We need to resist the fallacy of confirmation bias. We understand these individuals were descendants of Adam. They weren't from before him, no matter what the dating methods state. If they found Adam and Eve's remains, those would also date much older than 6,000 years ago. What causes these dates to be so inaccurate is a mystery. One possibility is a major climatic event like the Flood resulted in messing up the dating methods similar to how atomic bombs have resulted in affecting the dating of paintings from before/after 1945. That's one possibility, but we can't be dogmatic on that. There may be a reason not related to the Flood.

    Updated to 8.0.#4025. Changed to new server. All ok. No issues. Yet to enable mobile. Might wait until it comes out of beta.

    Or their dating system is wrong.

    Sime interesting observations, Percy. Neander Valley, near Düsseldorf, was named after Joachim Neumann, a 17th‑century German pastor, who likely was a man with broader interests. Those discovered remains that you have mentioned, show from research that they were physically and genetically distinct from modern humans. Since we have biblical lineage of humans from Adam down, we know for sure that anything accurately dated before the time of Adam must be of a kind covered by the creations in a different, pre-human era.

    Here is a catalogue of Neanderthal finds and what I discovered, is that the vast majority of them are found in caves, often buried in mud that has hardened into rock or brechia. It just seems odd that their remains stayed in the caves, as these were their homes as places for protection from the elements. If somebody died in a home, would you leave it to rot beside you? The other explanation is that they were trying to escape something outside the home; torrential rain never seen in that amount before. After it was finished there was nobody left to dig them out. Don't be thrown off by the great ages assigned, as it is often determined by the age of the mud around the bones. https://dinoera.com/humans-ancestors/homo-ancestors/catalog-of-neanderthal-remains-sites-2-of-4/ The caves were not unlike those in England that contained a mix of animal bones of predators along with their prey. It is as if they were all fleeing into the cave and eating was not as important as survival. https://www.subbrit.org.uk/sites/banwell-bone-caves/

    I'm having the same issue, and would like to avoid the headache of getting everyone reconnected to the app! Hoping NW Scheduler enable support for congregations that use 6 digit pins (which I am hoping they should, considering the software itself generated the pin!).
  9. molnarj
    I notified everyone in the congregation through Whatsapp that they need to reconnect. Then I sent an email to everyone with an old app version: Chose Send Email to App Persons with Old Version. Adjust the template to your liking and make sure the following Tags are included: [CONGREGATION_REGION] [CONGREGATION_ID] [CONGREGATION_PIN] [FIRST_NAME] [PERSON_PIN] Good luck!
  10. Cruzer
    I can easily change our 'Congregation PIN' to an 8-digit PIN, but we will delay doing that until we give the friends a warning they'll all need to reconnect. Was trying to avoid having to do that if at all possible. I submitted a ticket in the meantime, perhaps they can fix it to allow 6 digits. I'm sure we're not the only congregation with 6.
  11. molnarj
    Did you try to change the PIN to an 8 digit PIN in NWS? I did and it worked. The new PIN will not accept if you start with 0. I changed it and it works fine. BUT BE AWARE: Everyone in the congregation has to reconnect to NW Publisher with the new PIN.
  12. Cruzer
    We did enable "Enforce NWS Mobile PIN Lock" in NWS. That's not where I'm having an issue however. It's in the "Connect to NW Publisher app" section of the app. Our "Congregation PIN" has always been 6 digits, but "Connect" stays grey until at least 8 digits are entered.
  13. JennyM
    We are all tired in this system. You dont know how much I cried in this system. Thats enormous tears.
  14. molnarj
    Did you enable Enforce NWS Mobile PIN Lock in NWS Desktop? If not you can simply press one of the icons on the bottom and you are in. I see what you mean. I have to change our PIN to a 8 digit pin, but it won't allow me in NWS Desktop.

  17. Brother Den
    Interesting, our congregation PIN has always been 8 digits.
  18. Cruzer
    I'm testing 'NWS Mobile' but it won't go past the 'Connect to NW Publisher app' section. Region and Congregation ID are fine, but it appears to not allow for a 6 digit 'Congregation PIN'. The 'Connect' button remains greyed out but will turn blue if 8 digits are entered.

    We have been assigned to a new server. When the new server is correctly selected, the program asks for email verification. when that is done, it works.

  23. JJWest
    Sorry, I meant, did you do the backup before you did the major update?
  24. Dhanyel
    A little encouragement for those who feel sadness like me! It is moving to think that everything we do in this system is reaching its appointed end: the last meeting, the last celebration — once and for all —, the last assembly, the last convention, the last field service, the last Broadcasting, the last magazines. Then the new system promised by Jehovah will come… the first meeting, the first assembly, the first convention, the first field service, the first Broadcasting, the first magazines, under a righteous and everlasting government. May that day come quickly. We are tired of this wicked system. Our hearts wait in faith for the fulfillment of Jehovah’s promises: life in the perfect Paradise here on Earth. “Let your Kingdom come.” Come quickly, Sovereign Lord Jehovah. Come, Jesus!
  25. jwhess
    I updated and it shows an error that my congregation is not listed under the server selected.
  26. JJWest
    Did you guys do the shared persons backup before you did the backup? If so, you should be able to import that backup and everything you had scheduled should pop back up.
  27. The Andrew
    I have same issue as Shawnster, after upgrading to NWS 8.0 #1424 ... empty Chairman and WT Reader lists, though they are all still selected under Assign in the Persons pages.
  28. JJWest
    I was able to download the app and open it, but once I try to enter our congregation pin, it shows error and won’t connect. Any ideas?

      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.”

      I applied to be an Auxiliary Pioneer.  I had a wonderful meeting with two of the Elders in my congregation.   One of them , I'd never met before.  I think that they have a better idea of who I am and what I deal with every day with my mental illnesses.   Not sure if I'll be approved, but it's okay if I'm not.   I've been attending field service on Zoom on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays.  But will be adding Tuesdays as well.   🧏‍♀️
      Have a good night everyone!!  
      STAY WARM!!
       
      STAY SAFE!!

      GM,  it's Deborah.  Please send to me your email address.  I think Sr. Bonnie, from my old cong, made the CA transcripts and I will forward to you when I get your address.   I thought I had it but cannot find it.   Not sure if she sent into one email both the AM and PM or if she sent them separate.  But I will send to you can you can decide.  Hope you are well.  We are ok  here....just cold weather.  Agape.

      A little boy wants to make his father happy. He wants to buy him a gift, but he doesn’t have any money. So he turns to his father and asks him for a few coins. Now he has money, but the gift he wants to get is in a store, and the store is in town. Again, he needs the help of his father. Once in the store, he finds that the gift is way up on the shelf. The father has to lift him up. Same thing at the register. Having returned back home, the son, beaming and proud, hands the father his gift.

      A sweet little story but strictly speaking one could argue that the father himself was the generous giver here. In the end, he had to accompany and help his son at every step of the way, and he was even the one paying for it all. 

      If, however, the father had done everything himself, the outcome wouldn’t have been the same. In the way that it happened, the father, in fact, made it possible for the son to be something he could not have become on his own: a gift-giver.

      This story illustrates how God relates to us. God does not need man, but God allows man to share in his saving work. Man is given the grace to take part in God’s work, and this actually shows the true greatness of God. Man is not kept in a completely inactive dependency, but rather he is equipped with the power to do good.
      And this is exactly the reason there is a congregation. God does not need the congregation, but he wants the congregation so that through her we can become active sharers in the divine work of salvation. 
      In this way, man, who through sin causes so much woe and pain in the world, is now enabled and empowered to bring healing and share in God’s redemptive work. Fallen man, in a way, is rehabilitated in the congregation. He can live as a new creation.

      So God doesn’t need the congregation, but we need the congregation, and that is exactly why she was given to us as a means to salvation!

      Hi Alexandre, welcome to JWTalk!
      Seeing Ukraine on your profile made me smile — there’s a lot of strength and beauty tied to that part of the world. You might enjoy browsing the Photo Gallery, especially the nature shots people share, and there’s also plenty of room here to just read quietly without any pressure to jump in right away. Thanks for joining us, and I’m looking forward to whatever you feel like sharing in time.
