  1. Today
  2. Just in case you missed the description Jason here it is… Sympathetic to the way Jehovahs Witnesses are treated in some countries then yes I agree with you, however, as it says this is the pressroom and it to raise awareness… and as the latest post there demonstrates it’s showing exactly who we are that we could be your doctor, teacher etc. The purpose is definitely not to seek sympathy in the way that most view sympathy!!
  3. Mankind’s greatest achievement will be thought to be peace and security. We know what happens next!
  4. I've never heard of that site before; I couldn't have reached a limit. 🤔 I'll try again
  5. P.S. I meant to say editing at the same time in the same section. If one brother is editing public talks and another is editing the cleaning schedule there will be no issue. If 2 brothers are editing in the same page at the same time it almost always causes syncing issues.
  6. Yesterday
  7. Yes, every brother that edits data and then Sends App Data needs to close the program as the final step. What you have described is definitely a syncing issue. In the NWS help documents it addresses syncing issues: Ensure everyone always CLOSES NW Scheduler properly after use (not just close laptop lid), etc. The above in blue is a qoute from NWS docs. Also be sure he is not trying to edit at the same time as another brother and everyone is on the same NWS version.
  8. In Bible times, Paul went where people naturally gathered. The marketplace (Acts 17:17) The Areopagus..the main forum for new ideas (Acts 17:19–22) Today, for millions especially younger ones the “marketplace” is the popular social networking programs. As a concept, using platforms like TikTok or Instagram is no different from using printing presses, films, radio, or sound cars in the past. Jehovah’s people have always used the most effective tools available to put the good news in front of as many eyes and ears as possible. Today, the average teenager doesn’t read tracts or answer the door but they do scroll….. not only younger ones..that have developed powerful thumbs. So it’s only logical that short, dignified, Bible‑centered content can be a powerful modern vehicle to reach hearts around the world in all cultures. The sky is not falling.. but the good news just has another vehicle.
  9. El Niño just crossed the +1.0C line, now at Moderate Strength.
  10. Finally, long lists kicking Youngstown C I N R L
  11. In Crimea now you can only get fuel with Russian Government Coupons. Fuel shortage is becoming a problem Soon food and other items may be available only with those coupons I wonder if it requires to be affiliated with Putin Party to have them 😳
  12. You can go to that week, delete the meeting data and then you can redownload it. It will not erase the people with assignments just the meeting data. It worked for me l, the talks should back up again
  13. I was watching the new JWB with the Gilead, and an experience from a woman in Asia (approx 40 mins in): Notice she first used Google to eventually access our website and was learning things, before she even knew she was on JW.org ! So to those doubting this pilot program: let’s never forget how many only find our website using this “secular” web portal / search engine (Google). And let’s also remember that many people don’t even use search engines anymore, they simply receive links through various alternative “portals” like Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok, etc. certainly we wouldn’t be bothered to find out someone used Google to reach our website. Let’s not be bothered if they use social portals to reach it too. edit: almost missed another important point. Transcript: “so I joined social media groups that discussed changing religions.” She did that before using Google. Really drives the point home!
  14. We have a 15 min local news on the week of the 29th so I guess it will be in 2 weeks
  15. Friday, June 5 The Son of man came to seek and to save what was lost.—Luke 19:10. Jesus provided a perfect, living picture of his Father’s mercy. (John 14:9) By word and deed, he showed that his compassionate, merciful Father loves people and wants to help each of them to win the fight against sin. Jesus helped sinful people to want to change their ways and to follow him. (Luke 5:27, 28) Jesus knew what lay ahead of him. More than once, he told his followers that he would be betrayed and executed on a stake. (Matt. 17:22; 20:18, 19) He knew that his sacrifice would take away the sin of the world. Jesus also taught that after offering his life, he would “draw all sorts of men” to himself. (John 12:32) Sinful humans could please Jehovah by accepting Jesus as their Lord and by following in his steps. If they did so, they would finally be “set free from sin.” (Rom. 6:14, 18, 22;John 8:32) So Jesus willingly and courageously faced his terrible death.—John 10:17, 18. w24.085 ¶11-12
  16. Governing Body Update #4 — What Are Your Expectations? The last Governing Body Update was released on May 1, and it looks like Update #4 could be coming soon. What are your thoughts? • Who do you think will be the presenter this time? • Do you expect any organizational announcements? • Will we get new reports about the worldwide work? • Could there be updates from the regional conventions already underway in the United States? • Might we hear more about construction projects around the world? • Do you think there will be any adjustments to congregation procedures or direction? Share your expectations in the comments! Of course, this is all just speculation until the official update is released.
  17. When I was pioneering in Maine, a set of twin sisters was in our regular line-up. We used to meet in the KH library for lunch. One of the twins, Courtney, came in one noon and said she had bought a sandwich at the local Subway and had it split in half for her sister to pick up the second piece, but thought the Subway person was just confused. I, in my inimitable lack of wisdom, decided to call Subway and clear it up. On the phone to sandwich shop, I am describing the second person who will come in for the other sub half; "blue eyes, Hello Kitty pin on her coat...." At that time, second sister, Selena, entered shop for that important pick-up. The store clerk looked surprised when she responded, "They're Twins!" Well, yeah, I just didn't get to that.
  18. I love the newest one, which shows JWs in various jobs including lawyer, doctor, and firefighter.
  19. Ivanka Trump lied about the island. Inside Sazan Island: The Albanian ex-military base bought by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner with 3,500 bunkers and tunnels https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ivanka-trump-jared-kushner-albania-sazan-island-b2989426.html

    • 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 think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)

      There were many JW artists I followed on Instagram, they created beautiful Christian illustrations. But for some reason many deleted their accounts out of the blue, no trace left.
       
      I don't know why and it makes me very sad

      It's time for me to take a break from JWTalk for just a bit. We have our Regional Convention starting tomorrow! For those of us confined to watching the convention on a screen (rather than in person), at least they give us a choice of watching the recorded version from the US, or the live streamed version of our own convention (with the local brothers doing the parts). Because of the convention, I likely won't have time to peek in here at all.
       
      So, enjoy the weekend everyone!

      Carlos, I don’t think that is correct. I read a lengthy post on this forum from a brother who stated that he was one of the developers. It would be great if the devs would identify themselves in the forum.
