    I don’t understand why you were corrected on that. We also pray to our heavenly Father, not to our heavenly friend, right? I have always been thaught that he is our father! ❤️

    Our 'edit' button only lasts about 10-15 minutes after you post. The only ones who can edit after that time-period are moderators.

    I don't have an "Edit" option for some reason. In my post just above I should have said "only 3 weeks show up" - that is out of several months scheduled in NWS.

    On a similar note: when you were all alone and happy, before you created anything, what was the object of your affection,what did you do with all that love inside you?

    The song moved me to tears ❤️ Considering the 'Father-talk': I have always felt it slightly dissatisfying 'only' to be Jehovah's friend, and not be his child. I remember someone corrected me (chatting after a meeting) when I thought I was also one of God's children. Jody Jedele made me really feel that I am in Jehovah's family, not "just friends". We are His children. And since Jesus is the 'last Adam', taking the first Adam's place, he is our Eternal Father (Isa 9:6).

    Since you have always existed back into infinity, why did you decide to start creating when you did and not sooner?

    Exited to mention that "Time After Time" is a song by American pop singer Cyndi Lauper released January 1984 on the record label Epic.

    time after time, I misplaced words on a thread about words, and thankfully have not yet been exited.

    The song is OK but this version is not my favorite style of music. The video montage didn't always seem to follow the song and the images often flashed by too rapidly - almost dizzyingly. Too bad you live so far down the state, it would be nice to hear you guys play in person. Looks like the nearest Amtrak station is Okeechobee or West Palm.

  16. Codyroberto
    https://jwsyncalpha.tiiny.site Hello friends, First, I want to say a sincere thank you to everyone who has used JW Sync and offered such kind feedback. Because a few of you had some really great ideas for making the tool more useful, I've been quietly tinkering with a few new features. To make sure I don't break the main website that everyone is currently using, I have set up a separate "Alpha" testing link. This is a work-in-progress version where we can test these new ideas together. Here are the new features you can test out: 🤝 Extract & Share (Privacy First) Sometimes you want to share your Regional Convention notes with a friend or spouse, but you don't want to send them your entire backup file with all your personal study notes. Now, you can select specific tags (like "Convention") or a specific date. The tool will safely strip away everything else and create a tiny, shareable backup file containing only those specific notes. Your private notes stay completely private. 📥 Export Your Notes (TXT, CSV, HTML) If you ever wanted to print your notes or back them up on your computer, you can now click "Peek Inside" to view them, and export them into a text document or spreadsheet. It will even include the source (like the Bible book or article) where you took the note. 🏷️ Tag Manager & Auto-Tagging If your tags are a bit messy, you can now use simple drop-down menus to merge them together or rename them. Also, when bringing over a backup from a second device, you can now tell the tool to automatically attach a tag (like "From Old iPad") to all the imported notes so you can easily find them later. 🎨 Bulk Color Changer If you ever decide to change your personal color-coding system (for example, wanting all your "Yellow" highlights to now be "Blue"), there is a new setting that lets you update them all at once, saving you from having to change them one by one in the app. ✨ Deep Clean & Study Stats I added a "Deep Clean" option that quietly sweeps away old, broken "ghost" data to help your JW Library app run a little faster. You'll also notice a new "Stats" button that brings up a simple chart showing your most-used tags and highlight colors. If you would like to help me test these features, you can try the Alpha version here: https://jwsyncalpha.tiiny.site Because this is a test version, please let me know if you run into any bugs or if something doesn't make sense. I've tried to keep the screen as clean and simple as possible so it isn't overwhelming. I hope these new tools might be a small help in your personal study. Agape!

    Hi friends, Just wanted to share a new live version of my song GOALS!—hoping it’s encouraging. Would love to hear what you think. Here's the link to the video: https://youtu.be/GplTmD6kysk I’ve been trying to create music that’s clean, positive, and spiritually encouraging. Did it feel encouraging to you?

    Could you try switching it to windowed? I think it might make the difference.

    Sequitur is a word so rarely used, that I'm seeing it for the first time.
  22. AnnaFromTheNetherlands
    No SPF helps against it either. 😂

    Has anyone found a workaround for this bug? I did some tweaking and sent app data. I changed the schedule option dropdown from Weekly to Meeting. Then I entered a group for weekly cleaning and the same one for after meeting cleaning. We have scheduled for a few months but only three show up in 4.0.8 NWP app and those are still incorrect. I tried to refresh app data. None of these things have worked. All of our brothers are on the latest NWS version.

    Well if you were in ancient Jerusalem you would: 1. Not have sunglasses. 2. Be squinting much more. 3. Have more wrinkles due to #1 & #2. So AI has it all figured out!!!

    The territory assignment works via NWS Mobile. However, it is still in beta. The territory servant can assign territories on the go using the app. In our congregation we have also defined in the NWS Desktop certain territories for JW Publisher as “self‑assign territories,” which the elders and ministerial servants—and, when needed, pioneers in the congregation—can take for themselves, for a group, for their family, or for the entire congregation. However, this quickly becomes hard to keep track of. That is why we are looking forward to the NWS Mobile version once it exits the beta stage.

    Woww! The program is on jw.org already! That's early! I thought so too! So I converted it to mp3 format and posted it in my Music Collection. It's in a zip file, along with the official image for it, and the lyrics. The file with the lyrics does not contain any music for the song, but the words only. If you need the link to my Music Collection, send me a PM.

    And so we move forward from 2016... In 2022 my wife left me and I started recontacting the girls. One by one over a few months I phoned to re-establish our relationships and learned that some of them were facing difficult times. Summer, who had always lived with her mother, suffered the loss of her mom. This meant she had to learn a lot of independence and find somewhere else to live, ultimately moving in with the family of her carer. Ang had some serious medical issues to deal with and along with Shelly decided that they needed to help out their sister, Lorie, by moving her across from Nebraska where there was nobody to support her. Lorie, who was to become another of my adoptees when I next visited. As time moved on there was a major shake-up in Shelly's life and she was forced to make some important decisions, I was glad I was able to give her some moral support via phone calls. She and Ang were stressed enough dealing with Lorie's problems, many prayers were shared. And I felt I had to find out if Leslie wanted me to be in touch too. And what a time it was in her life! I sent a text message, she messaged back that I should phone her, then she unloaded all the sad details of what was happening in her life... it was about the same time as she was expressing her pain in this thread: It seems that when I called Leslie was sitting looking at the adoption certificate and wondering if she would ever hear from me again. She had it on a shelf with the other important things she had. The urn with her husband's ashes among them... ...and she had written alongside of this picture in a Facebook post how much my support for her on this forum meant. Just how is a man supposed to feel when he learns that for years this certificate had pride of place and that she hoped to hear from me again? By the way, the final part of the certificate reads: "This certificate shall remain in force up to and including the moment of the resurrection of both parents of the adopted child." All of this was stirring in me. These girls were looking upon me as was intended, as their father, it was no longer as it began - a light-hearted arrangement. It was becoming, I guess, like finding a long lost natural child. I had to start making plans for my next trip to America. But first I had to make contact once again with Summer...

      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.”

      My dear, dear brother. You may be physically alone. But you are not alone. Of course you have Jehovah and his invisible family, all there. Then, us in our pitiful state, are here too. Loving you, and praying for you and you dear Cate. 
      Praying for you both dear ones. 
      The best is yet to come, and, yes, just around the corner. 
      In the meantime, Jehovah will see to the two of you. This I know.
      With much love, your sister, Bea

      Are allergies on the rise (more so than just "being the season" for them)?  🤔
       
      My grandma of 81 years was complaining yesterday about having to deal with allergies, despite it never really being a thing for her before.

      Even in my own circumstances, I find myself using my albuterol inhaler and nearly having asthma attacks, despite growing out of that many years ago.  Now it's back...  😔

      My spiritual routine is… sorely lacking order…
       
      My list of personal study projects only keeps growing, and it seems I cannot finish even one. I am absolutely terrible at study. My brain just doesn’t seem to “go off,” but at the same time, nothing ever gets accomplished 😵‍💫
       
      Like now—I found a JW-friendly app (Personal Bible Trainer). I chose to read the Bible from scratch, both the Old and New Testament, and it gives a challenge, goal, or thought to focus on with the chapters (or part of a chapter) you’re reading. I also decided to highlight my Bible while I’m at it so I know for sure I read the chapters. Then I remembered I had started writing down the characters mentioned, so I don’t forget who was in the chapter, when, where, and in what order. And then there’s the daily text and weekly meeting study… it’s just all horror!
       
      Just from this, you can probably see my mind is absolute chaos 🤯 My brain feels like a bag filled with water—but full of holes.
       
      I’ve cut back on work due to my health slowly deteriorating. Now I’m only working 2 days a week instead of 4. I stopped going out in field service and have been asking others not to invite me because I keep having to cancel last minute due to my mystery illness/condition.
       
      Now I really need ideas that might help plug these holes—so I can actually retain information and build a study routine that works for me. I can’t even remember how I was able to handle so many subjects back in my school days 😮‍💨
       
      I know most brothers and sisters have families, strong spiritual routines, and goals that help them stay focused on spreading the good news of the Kingdom. Being in the truth by myself, I’m doing everything solo. And over the years—with moving to an actual home, changing congregations, and now my health failing at this age… anything I once had in mind spiritually (like learning a new language, LDC, or working on projects like Ramapo) is gone, and my zeal has almost fizzled out.
       
      I had some shepherding calls after isolating myself for so long and not attending meetings for a few months. The elders reminded me that there are people who care about me, even when life gets in the way—and that isolation won’t help. And they’re right… it doesn’t.
       
      The only thing that kept me going—then and even now—are Jesus’ words and Peter’s response after many stopped following him:
       
      “So Jesus said to the Twelve: ‘You do not want to go also, do you?’ Simon Peter answered him: ‘Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life. We have believed and have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.’” — John 6:67–69
       
      Right now, I’m just trying to focus on getting my mind back into studying properly and maybe having a good comment at the meetings again.
       
      Any advice you may have that could help—I would really appreciate it. Otherwise, please just keep me in your prayers. 🙏🏼
