    Tuesday, March 10 Keep holding to the standard of wholesome words.—2 Tim. 1:13. What could happen if we deviated from “the standard of wholesome words”? Consider an example. In the first century, a rumor was apparently circulating among some Christians that the day of Jehovah had arrived. There may have been a letter—supposedly written by the apostle Paul—that made such an assertion. Without taking the time to check the facts, some Christians in Thessalonica believed the rumor and were even spreading it. They would not have been fooled had they remembered the things Paul had taught them when he was still with them. (2 Thess. 2:1-5) Paul counseled his brothers not to believe everything they heard. And to help them in the future, Paul concluded his second letter to the Thessalonians with the words: “Here is my greeting, Paul’s, in my own hand, which is a sign in every letter; this is the way I write.”—2 Thess. 3:17. w24.07 12 ¶13-14

    Perhaps it is better to say "The US has not won many wars." History has Vietnam with the US pulling out, so not a loss nor win. Korean War resulted in the country being split, so not a win nor a loss. Cuba was a planned invasion in 1962 but that went awry and Cuba remained communist with supplies coming from USSR. Iraq was a disaster and now Iran will prove to be another disaster. Sigh. Does anybody really win wars? Battles perhaps.

    If you've already refreshed the person, perhaps try the "Disconnect" button and start fresh from the top. If that does not work either, reset the PIN for them.
  7. Shawnster
    Nice save. A win typically would be when operational objectives are achieved. Of course, this could be subjective. Now, in the case of Vietnam more will characterize that as a draw or stalemate than a loss, but that's got a lot to do with the patriotism of the one making the statement. Yes
  8. trottigy
    If you do not state any objectives, you can always later say you achieved them.

    We have had about 20% of our publishers have to reconnect and get a similar error message. I usually use the following steps: 1. Refresh their app access 2. Reset their PIN and refresh 3. Ask them to delete and re-install the app. So far that has resolved the issues.

    No objectives were stated.

    Hi Kurt. Check posts from the past 2 or 3 weeks. This exact issue was discussed along with possible solutions. We had this same issue with one user in our congregation.

    No wars are won, but what wars you are referring to?
  16. feebee
    Or, rather, the Anglo American World Power has "lost" many wars. What will a win look like anyway?
  17. feebee
    The US has lost many wars.

    Well, then we'll be conveniently gathered together for post-Armageddon plans. No need to worry. It doesn't matter so much where we are when the end comes, but who we are (faithful).
  19. Michał
    Thats exactly what I expect to happen. Jehovah could asks us to turn us in, they (coalition of nations) in turn put us into concentration camps… let’s say 144,000 concentration camps worldwide 😂

    My neighbor called and asked me if I would sing and play at the funeral gravesite of a homeless man who had no family. Um, okay. I got lost for about an hour and by the time I got there, all attenders were gone but I saw the space open. Looked in and the vault looked closed. Felt bad for the deceased and put down my keyboard, opened it and sang out, "Gone too soon." The men there piled around and I thought everyone seemed moved. Thought: this was, perhaps an opportunity for contact cards. One man came over and said, "I've never seen this happen before and I've been digging toilet vaults for years."

    Isn't the government of Quebec's arm being twisted by the Catholic Church. A little chirping over lost power. I remember talking to a Catholic neighbor years ago when the persecution in Portugal was going on. She said "well the Church has the right to fight for itself." It's mindset hasn't changed much.

    Hey friends Are there currently syncing problems with the APP? We are experiencing that newly added publishers, when sent the invite to connect, cannot be found/added, despite having entered their PIN etc. Any similar experience anyone? Loving greetings from Germany.

    Iran's foreign minister rejects calls for a ceasefire: 'We need to continue fighting for the sake of our people' Pressed about whether Iran is receiving Russian support, Abbas Araghchi told NBC News' "Meet the Press" that "they are helping us in many different directions." https://www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/irans-foreign-minister-rejects-calls-ceasefire-continue-fighting-rcna262291

    I see that you have made your first post so I will take this opportunity to Welcome you. Happy to meet you.

    But understand what he writes is FICTION. Talented, but imagination.

    After hours I've managed to make full copy. Got some problems with Kurdish and had to start over. 🥲 If someone would needs a link, feel free to contact me. NoxPlayer is available for Windows and Mac (although I've tested only under Windows). There's exported prepared android 9 emulator with all languages ready for import (I'm planning to make also android 7 for low end computers in next few days). There's also Swift backup files for restore pack on android phone (but it will require root access, no way to do it without rooted phone). 😅

    Hi everyone, I'm seeing an issue when publishers try to connect or reconnect to the app. They are getting this error: I've checked the NW Scheduler settings. Name and PIN are correct. Have refreshed app data for the users, still no joy. This is happening for a new publisher connecting for the first time, and an existing publisher who has updated their mobile device. Any idease please? Thanks in advance for your help!

    What is considered a loss? Do we even know what the US military objectives are? One does not follow the other. Just because the US is one part (not the only part) of the King of the South that does not mean it cannot lose a war. Some would say the US lost the Vietnam War. Russia (formerly the Soviet Union) is King of the North. Some would say the Soviets lost their war in Afghanistan. The current Ukraine War is not really going their way.
  30. Sheep started following Province of Quebec fines JW’s for showing a video at convention for not getting a classification on it’s content

    I remember seeing this story a couple of years ago. It must have been one of the earlier trials, which I suppose was appealed. It looks like the government didn't take the loss very well. It could be interpreted that way. When I first came to Quebec in 1987, there were still people alive at that time who had seen the persecution against Jehovah's Witnesses in the 1950s. Those opposers lost in The Supreme Court of Canada, and the Premier of Quebec was fined for trying to target us. I guess those ones left over in the 1980s wanted to continue where the others left off. Since then though, I think all that generation of opposers died off. But yes, this is another chapter. Not the same opposers, but the same persecution.

      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 sometimes mix-up my terminology so this is to help me:
       
      The Lord's supper is the ceremony in which Jesus and his apostles partook on Nisan 14.
       
      Jesus said to do this in remembrance of him, a remembrance of what he is about to do (give his life for mankind). So what we commemorate is the blood and flesh given in our behalf, and we reproduce this event by observing the sacrament of the Lord's supper.
       
      This death serves to enact a new covenant between the spirit-anointed sons and daughters of God, and the other sheep are respectful attendees and participants that honor that contract.
       
      In summary the Memorial (or 'eucharist', meaning 'thanksgiving' in biblical Greek) is our commemoration of the death of Jesus by observing the Lord's supper. The partaking (other denominations call it 'communion') of the emblems, the wine and bread, is done by spirit-anointed christians who are part of the new covenant.

      Our congregation is finally moving to NW Scheduler from KHS. I'm having trouble exporting publisher reports from KHS to NW Scheduler. I get log error "cannot import record. Missing Date"
      I tried changing date format to year/month/day as it is in KHS. Same thing.
      I will have to enter data manually, but if there's anyone out there that has found a fix it would be hugely appreciated.
