MTV...my mom waiting for the premier of Dallas then the cliff hanger for Who shot JR. It was a whole summer of listening to people give their guess on who it might be. Then the commercials were on A LOT. The concluding episode of MASH was anticipated too.

Yews are useful for the branches and leaves but not for food.

You saw the ewe eating the yew?

I forgot to include the first broadcast of "Monday Night Football" - many thought this was a fad and would have long since ended. I also remember when ESPN and The Weather Channel started (oh, and MTV) channels/networks/services many thought would never last ...

Sounds amazing, but I don't have internet or wifi at home, only unlimited data from T-Mobile using the cell tower.

Never trouble trouble, til trouble troubles you.

Dont forget the corruption. Its getting worse. You cant blame some jw going abroad for a better life. They corrupt even food packs for disaster relief.

At the time of Michael Jackson's death, I was at a construction site building a Kingdom Hall.

Honestly, I don't know how anyone in the Phillipines survives. You seem to have hurricane after hurricane and in between there are the earthquakes. The people there never get a break!

I have a tv that is not "smart", it's about 20 years old. I just hooked an android box to it and can have the real JW Library app on it. Easy Peasy. You can do it with any tv.

Just hit +3.0C mark, now in historical territory. On trajectory towards +4.0C as forecast models are showing

My first significant "I remember when" was a theocratic event. August of 1962, at the District Convention in Tampa, Florida. There was a talk about the clarification of understanding of who were the "higher powers." That was the year we learned that "higher" did not mean "highest." So, "higher" powers were those who had power on earth. "Highest" power belongs to Jehovah. At age 18 that was a significant clarification to me. Another part of that day I remember was when I looked at the Convention Program, and noticed on the next day there were three talks scheduled: "The Word, Who Is He According to John - Part 1" "The Word, Who Is He According to John - Part 2" "The Word, Who is He According to John - Part 3" After the significant clarification on the identity of "The Higher Powers" my initial worry was whether we were to receive clarification on the understanding of John 1:1 the next day. As it turned out, my fears were NOT founded. The three talks were introducing the 96 page booklet The Word, Who Is He According to John, which had a very in depth analysis of John 1:1, and other scriptural references and analysis and comparison of them showing conclusively that Jesus was indeed the Son of Jehovah. The next significant "I remember when" moment was a year later, at another Theocratice event. At the District Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in July 1963, I was at the Pioneer Meeting when Brother Knorr announced to the Pioneers present at the meeting that in April, 1963, there were 1,040,000+ publishers reporting field service time. The first time more than 1,000,000 reported time in any month. The next significant "I remember when" moment for me was about six weeks later when I married my wife, August 30, 1963. I distinctly remembering walking back down the aisle, with my wife on my arm, and thinking "self - do you have any idea what you have just done?" The rest of the "significant events" others have listed are mostly (but not completely) also in my memory. I am too young to remember the assissination of Lincoln. I am too young to remember the attack on Pearl Harbor. There was a sports event mentioned, but I have not followed sports since about 1960 (except for the U.S. hockey win at the 1980 Olympics). Someone also mentioned their birth - I am in the same situation with that event. I do not remember it, but I have seen the paperwork about it. Thanks, Jim

Where were you when Lincoln was shot?

That seems to be the first thing to look at. Our territories average 40-80 homes per territory. If they have just 60 homes per territory, they have over 84,000 homes in their territory. That ain't right....

Back when it first started taking hold and worldwide usage increased people thought the Internet was a threat and might need international control. The international control never really came, and the Internet did not have the effects many feared ... although it has had other effects and has spread worldwide. There have been many inventions that spelled "doom" according to some people (look at self-checkout in retail stores) however isn't Jehovah going to put the idea in the hearts and minds of men (people) not machines?

The first "where you when" moment I can remember would be the JFK assassination. The next may have been the premier of Star Trek on TV. Others I remember (in no particular order: Moon landing Apollo 13 John Lennon Berlin wall Challenger - we saw that from the front yard Vietnam War ending Hurricanes Andrew and Catrina 3-mile Island and Chrernobyl 9/11 Trump being elected for a second time I'm sure there are others - they just don't come right to mind

I have a question regarding the territory limit in NW. It appears that NW Gold supports a maximum of 1,000 territories. However, I'm helping a congregation that has around 1,400 territories. That seems like a very large number, but I haven't questioned whether the count is correct. They are already using NW for scheduling talks and other congregation activities, but they are not currently using it for territory management. Is there any way to increase the territory limit beyond 1,000, or is there another recommended solution for congregations with more than 1,000 territories? I could ask NW directly, but I'd rather avoid doing that, as my previous experiences with their responses haven't been particularly positive.

I don't think so. When I purchased a new phone I installed JWLibrary, then restored my backup file. Then I had to manually download each publication, video and song that I wanted.

Space Shuttle explosion. I was pioneering, had just returned around noon to the hall. I was standing at the report desk, and a brother came in the back door, and asked if we heard about the shuttle. We had not, and he filled us in. Went home instead of service and watched the news for the rest of the day.

Same! Scared and confused. 😕

I hope it’s published today online 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi everyone, I recently had to restore my iPad to factory settings, and now I need to reload all my JW Library .jwpub files. Is there a quick or efficient way to download them again without having to manually open each publication one by one? Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
