  1. Past hour
  2. We occasionally have apostates come up to our litcarts in town. We don't know this, at first, so give them our customary greeting. Some of our brothers and sisters can quickly identify these individuals, but they can appear to agree with our teachings at first before throwing something to raise doubts. Certainly 'by their fruits' you can see what they are trying to do. We endeavour to be polite, but we let them know that we are not engaging with them; walking away if appropriate.
  3. Today
  4. JW Sign Language is no more either. It was merged with JW Library. So only 3 libraries. I'm happy that Watchtower Library is continued to be supported and developed. Find it the best for searching and research. I like the look and feel of WOL. And it can be used on any device, including Linux or Macs without extra software. On my tablet, I will use a combination of JW Library and WOL. I download current and most used publications on JWL for meetings and ministry, but use WOL for the rest. The latest WTL update, I guess will be included with update 2602. If you want to uninstall and install the new version before then, I suggest you first backup the rs_data folder + the file named update. within the Watchtower Library program folder, and then restore after installing. This will save time and data downloading the publications again.
  5. 1. Watchtower Library ONLY for Windows devices and the BEST for serious research. 2. Watchtower Online Library For non Windows devices and will work with any hardware platform that has an Internet Browser. 3. JW Libray For congregation meetings plus Kingdom Proclaimers because it is controlled by the organization. They just added in the library under Brochures and Booklets the Memorial Bible Reading Schedule. 4. JW Language App Discontinued. 5. JW Sign Language App designed for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community because they use video instead of text. Because we have so many different operating systems and hardware devices your wish for one app and one website would leave a large portion of the global community without tools to build their spirituality and relationship with Jehovah. Just as we keep up with new truths so likewise we keep up with tools which make being a kingdom proclaimer easier and more enjoyable. In addition, have you never heard of the phrase "information at our fingertips"? Bill Gates introduced this concept as a keynote address at the COMDEX/Fall 1990 trade show, where he outlined a "crusade" to make all necessary data instantly accessible from a desktop personal computer. So we all had 35 years to learn and get used to handling data.
  6. Good thing we still have internet.. we can still preach via online while we can.
  7. A Love Story. A girl potato and a boy potato had eyes for each other and got married. They had a little sweet potato whom they named " Yam ". They loved her, and when the time was right they told her about the facts of life. They warned her about going out and getting half-baked so she wouldn't get mashed and get a bad name for herself like "Hot Potato" and end up having a bunch of un-planned tator tots, but not sit at home and become a couch potato either, get plenty of exercise and not be a shoestring . When she went to Europe they told her to watch out for the hard boiled guys from Ireland and the greasy ones from France. When she went out west they warned her about the Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped. She agreed to stay on the straight and narrow and not associate with those high class Yukon Golds, or the bad girls known as Frito Lays. Mr. and Mrs.Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U. ( Potato University ) with high hopes , but in spite of all they did for her she came home and announced she was marrying Tom Brokaw. Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset and told Yam she couldn't possibly marry Tom Brokaw, because he was just a ..................COMMON-TATOR!! #TBJOTDHAYDEN.
  8. I’ve been using this website I recently found. It’s great because even when I’m not in a position to watch the videos, I can take my time and read the transcripts instead. https://jwsubtitles.org/
  9. Yesterday
  10. A man is sitting next to woman who is trying to breastfeed her baby on the bus. The baby refuses to eat, and mother says, 'if you don't eat, I'll give it to the man next to me.' The baby refuses again. After 20 minutes, the mother repeats that she will give it to the man if she doesn't eat. The man says,
  11. We had some new brothers helping with such the other day but the hospitality box couldn't be checked. It was because the talk coordinator hadn't clicked 'confirm/accept' in the public speaker sharing area for updates or acceptance for that specific talk brother and week. Hope that helps a little.
  12. Hi Nataly, It seems to be okay with the mods. I think it could be an answer to someones prayers. I'm looking forward to see what jobs you're recruiting for
  13. Thursday, March 26 The one who says a greeting to him is a sharer in his wicked works.—2 John 11. Each Christian needs to use his Bible-trained conscience when dealing with someone who has been removed from the congregation. Some may feel comfortable with greeting or welcoming the person if he attends a meeting. However, we would not have an extended conversation or socialize with the individual. Some may wonder, ‘Doesn’t the Bible say that a Christian who says a greeting to such a person becomes a sharer in his wicked works?’ (2 John 9-11) The context of this scripture shows that this direction refers to apostates and others who actively promote wrong conduct. (Rev. 2:20) Therefore, if a person is actively promoting apostate teachings or other wrongdoing, the elders would not arrange to visit him. Of course, there is hope that he will come to his senses. Until that happens, though, we would neither greet such a person nor invite him to attend a congregation meeting. w24.08 30-31 ¶14-15
  14. Hello, I am a Recruiter, and I thought I could help my fellow brothers and sisters by posting here some of the jobs I am actively recruiting for; please let me know if this is ok
  15. I find it all confusing.... Watchtower Library, Watchtower Online Library, JW Library, jw.org website, JW Language App, JW Sign Language. In my opinion, we should have just one website and one online Library that merges everything together, to keep things streamlined.
  16. I predict we'll have less at our Assembly this weekend due to fuel prices. Diesel is 312.9 per litre which converts to $8.26 USD per gallon.
  17. *** w86 10/15 pp. 4-5 The Global Power Struggle—Who Will Win? *** Daniel further says: “He [the king of the north] will actually rule over the hidden treasures . . . and over all the desirable things of Egypt. And the Libyans and the Ethiopians will be at his steps.” (Daniel 11:43) This may refer to natural resources; and the modern “king of the north” does control territories with an abundance of mineral resources, including oil. He also has strong influence in territories outside his domain that have rich natural resources. All of us have reason to watch with interest whether he will get greater control of these and how far his economic influence will reach. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=1986760&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=16
  18. Brother Kenneth Cook and Brother Ronald Curzan are making a lightning visit to Bethel Brazil to discuss matters related to the audio and video department. Today, according to a Bethel friend, Brother Curzan gave a report showing a video of the progress of the work in Ramapo, to say that it's going well. And he said that they are already recording Episode 9 of Jesus.
  19. Webb and Hubble share most comprehensive view of Saturn to date Infrared and visible observations show layers and storms in the ringed planet’s atmosphere 25 March 2026 weic2606 — Photo Release Observing in complementary wavelengths of light, Webb and Hubble are providing scientists with a richer, more layered understanding of the gas giant’s atmosphere. Both sense sunlight reflected from Saturn’s banded clouds and hazes, but where Hubble reveals subtle colour variations across the planet, Webb’s infrared view senses clouds and chemicals at many different depths in the atmosphere, from the deep clouds to the tenuous upper atmosphere. Together, scientists can effectively ‘slice’ through Saturn’s atmosphere at multiple altitudes, like peeling back the layers of an onion. Each telescope tells a different part of Saturn’s story, and the observations together help researchers understand how Saturn’s atmosphere works as a connected three-dimensional system. Article link: https://esawebb.org/news/weic2606/ Pic Description: Side-by-side views of Saturn from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (left) and Hubble Space Telescope (right) reveal the planet in infrared and visible light. Hubble highlights subtle cloud banding and color variations, while Webb’s infrared vision probes different atmospheric layers, bringing out storms, waves, and glowing ring structures in striking detail.
  20. Mine is the same as @Sheep 2601 with the old icon
  21. May seem like a good idea but people will do what they want to survive. In Oregon Undocumented Immigrants are allowed to get a drivers license but many drive without one. I know a brother that has been in this country since he was 5 Yr. old, now in his early twenties. He has been driving w/license and owns a business. It has been only recently that he became documented.
  22. Research Reveals Elephant’s Amazing Sense of Touch By David Coppedge 16 March 2026 🐘 It must have been fun and enlightening for researchers at the Max Planck Institute to test the touch sensitivity of Asian elephants. Watching with amazement at their subjects’ ability to smell, lift, and transport a delicate potato chip without breaking it, they started asking questions. How does the animal do it? Paying attention to the little whisker hairs in the tip of the trunk, they wondered if they work the same way as whiskers on rats or other animals. Answer: their whisker hairs are more like those of cats than rats. In this short video they discuss what they found: Read more: https://scienceandculture.com/2026/03/research-reveals-elephants-amazing-sense-of-touch/

    • 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.”

      Got into my first car accident yesterday.  22 years of clean driving. Just a fender bender.  Could have been WAAAY worse if I wasn't paying attention...

      Girl pulled out in front of me.  Perfect T-bone.  I slammed on my brakes and maybe hit her around 5-10 MPH.  She's very fortunate as she coulda been very hurt.  Looked like a highschool cheerleader.  Poor girl was trying so hard not to cry.  Lesson learned!

      My damage was minimal....but to add insult to injury, I JUST PAID OFF my car last week!!!    Jeez the irony...

    • JudyO  »  Miss Bea

      Bea, you once sent me a dvd with 2 public talks on it. One was "Jesus' relatives" and I can't remember the other one, but both were so remarkable and special that I loaned them to another sister. She misunderstood me when I loaned them, and I never saw them again. (She must have loved them, too?) She passed away last year, and her daughter couldn't find the disc.
       
      I was so hoping you might have digital copies that you could send me, because I'd LOVE to have them again. If not, thanks for at least that memory. They made a wonderful impression on me.

      One summer from the local forest fires, I ended up with pneumonia. I went to the clinic, they gave me a Z-Pak. Even then, when I went outside, mind you in the summertime, I’d end up with bronchitis. And I couldn’t get rid of it. I figured I’d die. I was in my late 70s and I couldn’t get rid of what I considered to be something pretty serious..
      I had a horrible experience at a Bible study with someone in the house burned a piece of toast. I could only bring it wanted to do the dash for the door. 
      We are out town, at the local health food store. I went to the health food area and told the lady what I was going through and did she have any suggestions. She told me to try oil of oregano. In two days I got my lungs back. 
      If I think I’m gonna go to the clinic and they’re gonna give me an antibiotic for whatever, I drag out the oil of oregano.
      It’s a broad spectrum, antibiotic, and you need to do research so you know how to use it. But I tell you I think it’s wonderful.
      Love, Bea

      Nothing is real.
      I’m actually really glad it exists.
       
      You know what’s amazing?
      Nothing.
       
      If nothing didn’t exist, we’d have a real problem.
       
      I’ve been thinking about nothing a lot lately.
      It might be the most important thing there is.
       
      I don’t think people appreciate nothing nearly enough.
       
      It’s funny… the more I think about nothing, the more incredible it seems.
       
      You ever stop and think how much nothing there is?
       
      Nothing might be the biggest thing in the universe.
