    This does not use NW Scheduler. But it is a powerful tool for collecting information AFTER a major event. This link [https://tally.so/r/wzlYL1] opens a customized form that group overseers can use to collect and submit data in a consistent format. This data can be used to provide required info the the CO after a disaster, as well as allow first responders and LDC volunteers to begin stabilization work. As each form is submitted, it is placed in a spreadsheet on the server. It would then be downloaded as needed.

    Well he is no longer referred to as ‘Prince’ Andrew and I fully expect him to end up being extradited to the US to face charges of sex trafficking… the stuff coming out today is truly disgusting and I’ve no wish to give any of the men involved air time. It’s a distraction from the peace talks that are going on behind the scenes, but it will blow over like everything else, at the moment though it’s taken over the news completely and I’m sick of hearing about it Lol All Andrew Mountbatten has received so far is a slap on the wrist these men think they are above the law and it makes me feel physically sick, it’s the victims we should be thinking of really

    Thursday, February 5 Keep on . . . seeking first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you.—Matt. 6:33. Because of changes in economic conditions, some have been tempted to accept work that requires them to move away from their family, but that has often proved to be an unwise decision. Before taking up a new job, consider not only the possible financial advantages but also the spiritual cost. (Luke 14:28) Ask yourself: ‘How might my marriage be affected if I were away from my mate? What impact would this move have on my Christian association and on my ministry?’ If you have children, you also need to ask yourself this important question: ‘How will I raise my children “in the discipline and admonition of Jehovah” if I am not with them?’ (Eph. 6:4) Be guided by God’s thinking, not by that of family or friends who do not respect Scriptural principles. w25.03 29 ¶12

    Hello everyone, we recently discussed disaster preparedness in our congregation and started wondering whether — and how — NW Scheduler can be used effectively to support this. We’re looking for practical ideas such as how to: organize emergency or response teams maintain structured contact lists store or link checklists and procedures schedule regular reviews or drills document equipment or available resources quickly generate overviews for emergency situations Are there built-in features you’re using for this, or creative workflows with existing functions? Or do you rely on additional tools alongside NW Scheduler? I’d really appreciate hearing how others are approaching this. Thanks in advance for your suggestions and experience.

    I’m not mentioning no names. Regarding Epstein case, both of them were presidents of USA and they were involved in scandals all of their adult lives. They never stopped. Not all names mentioned in the Epstein files were wicked. I hope.

    @rockieboi @BigMAC @molnarj Thank you brothers for your reviews i'm eager to try it

    With a little adjustment you can do the following: Go to Congregation > Congregation Field Service Report (S1) > Click on any type of Publisher to see who conducts Biblestudies. You can copy the records to Excel, or whatever, and add the other Publisher types. Then create a filter to see the Publishers with Biblestudies only.

    How awful. And they actually brought that to a convention. 😮

    Personally, I've been following a lot of it and yes because I've seen it in my earlier years at parties and events in and around LA. There's truth to the Hip-Hop/R&B underage thing and I know why certain artists got called out. While not on the list, some have shown up and do show up to our regionals in LA. And yes, you see the person 20 years younger than them. Obvious. I cannot speak for billionaires and technology heads. But Hip-Hop/R&B and "some" actors? Yes.. and I'm glad finally.

    After the secretary sends in the reports, in NWP the publisher's records are located under Me/Publishers/Groups. Select the which group the publisher is in, select the publisher you want and then select Publisher Reports.

    Just a side point. 13 million died in concentration camps. 6 million were Jews. It has been in articles before. 7 million are forgotten.

    Does anyone know how to use the NW Scheduler to list publishers conducting Bible Studies in a particular month?

    Why do you feel this way as opposed to the 'Neanderthals' being from Seth's line or some unnamed child of Adam and Eve?

    There is lot more to DNA than just the Y- and X-chromosome. There is so much information encoded in DNA that scientist would be able to encode an entire set of encyclopedias in a strand of DNA. You could not prove paternity by examining a Y-Chromosome. The DNA decides hair color, height, and many other things.

    Just a rough estimate. My maternal grandfather was born 85 years before I was born. That would be an average of 42.5 years per generation. Going back 2 more generations, I had a GGGrandfather that was born 161 years before I was born, an average of 42.5 years. It varies.

    Daniel, when feeling flooded by news items, it's sometimes hard to filter what might be quite serious from what's inconsequential. However, it seems likely it can have serious ramifications when a British institution of the level of royalty is shaken to its core by accounts linked to serious misconduct. As Br. Shawn brings out, the Epstein emails reveal Prince Andrew's connections to gross moral violations and criminal activity towards underage girls. This is serious, and decent-hearted individuals will see the gravity of the situation. The 'earth' is being shaken, and may more sincere ones question what they once trusted, and be open to the good news of a Prince who has no price, is guileless, and will rule with fairness and honour.

    I studied in the book, 'You can live forever in paradise on earth' It was such an eye opener for me!
  24. rockieboi
    Yes. But when we moved to a new Hall and we had a new Windows computer, the brothers actually had a tough time learning a new software compared to just using JW Library for everything. I really liked it if we need to show programs, PDFs and websites as it is very handy. But if I get to choose really, I would use M3.

    Serious? Depends on your point of view. It was serious enough that England's Prince Andrew lost his royal titles and status because of his connection to Epstein. The Epstein situation is pretty serious and gross from a moral standpoint. Man owned a private island where he used underage girls to have sex with many rich, powerful, important, and prominent people. If their involvement ever was revealed their carriers could be over and they could fall into disgrace like Prince Andrew or maybe face criminal charges. That is if anyone actually cares. The sad fact is that these type of situations are more often used by powerful people to pressure or influence those involved. Such powerful people do not care about the lives of the victims. As for if this is a distraction, that also depends on someone's point of view. Distract from what? There are a number of major situations right now. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) procedures are resulting in turmoil in the US. The economy is always a factor. The war in Ukraine is ongoing. While tensions may have lessened in the Middle East, Hezbollah and Israel still hate each other. Trumps Board of Peace is attracting attention. The US is still involved in Venezuela in some fashion. This is just off the top of my head. People will pick whichever topic is most important to them and then claim the other topics are distractions.

    I've never read any Grisham, I'm a classics girl myself, but my boys have enjoyed his middle grade novels about Theodore Boone. I read the Giver in my early teens and enjoyed it-trying to interest my 14 yo in it but she declares it 'boring'. We're reading Wind in the Willows as a family. I'm currently reading numerous books myself, including Kon Tiki and Return of the Native (Thomas Hardy) and Atomic Habits. I'm reading a Russian novel a year, so far I've read Anna Karinina and Crime and Punishment. Pondering what to read this year.

      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!!

      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!
