Oooh interesting!! I will keep an eye out next time a brother has a similar issue and make sure their OS is up to date! thanks!!

If you are using an older Android operating system, it will not allow you to download the .jwpub files. Thus you may need to update the Android OS to at least 8.0 (Oreo) if you are using JWLib v15.6, or Android 7 (Nougat) fpr JWLib v15.5. However, if you cannot update the Andoid OS, you still could download the .jwpub files from the website and then manually import the .jwpub file into the app. The issue is with the security and trust certificates that the older Android OS's do not have available, or possible chipsets may not allow certain features on older devices.

Starts should be followed by finishes.

Wow! We are now up to #1436! We have had so many updates so close together our brothers are getting restless and making jokes about it. We are trying to convince them it is a great thing to keep getting updates. It shows how dilligently the developers are trying to make the software function well. The updates can patch bugs, add new features, close security holes, and so on. When it comes to updates, the more the merrier.

It's called the present because every day is a gift from above 🥰

My personal study today. Hope for What We Do Not See https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/hope/movie/

@Eryk, with your feedback I was able to determine they were empty notes. Couple more questions as I figure out my workflow/study flow. I use my tablet for personal study/meetings. I consider this my 'master' database as I've only ever used JW Library merging apps that just combine everything together. 1. I see that highlights don't have time stamps. Occasionally, I change the color of certain highlights in my Daily Bible Reading.. If I export highlights from my phone database and then import them into my tablet database, how are conflicts resolved? Or should I just be selective in what I study on my phone, like perhaps upcoming study Watchtowers and only export highlights from articles I haven't studied on my tablet yet? (edit: just saw in the help file a possible answer but still asking how best to do this. As my tablet JW Library database is the master and would be open in JWLManager, how would I make those highlights the 'primary?' Export tablet highlights, open phone database in JWLManger, import those highlights, now after merged, export highlights from the opened now modified phone database and then import them into the tablet database?) - I'm sure I'm overcomplicating that. I like the idea of being able to delete notes with certain tags and even export them to an excel file before deleting them. For some time I was using a temporary tag but eventually gave up after realizing how long it would take to delete them by hand and the occasional accidental 'marge' addition. I will start using my temp tag again. IE: for the Cong Bible Study, I always add the extra questions, "What does this account teach us about Jehovah? & What practical lessons can we learn from this account?" but do I need 50+ notes that say that? 😃 2. Based on your knowledge of these databases, I was wondering if you have any suggestions regarding saving very long notes, like long typed out notes from broadcasts or public talks? Right now I have a dedicated note taking app. But like the idea of having everything in one place. Maybe adding such notes to the day they happened in the Examining the scriptures daily publication or as an "unattached" note in the personal study area. But also don't want to make these database too large or slow. Any concern from what you'v seen about making the JW Library database too large and text heavy? 3. Is anyone aware of any boolean operators that work in the "search" field under 'Notes and Tags' in the Personal Study tab? I see '*' star doesn't work for a wild card. I realize adding all my notes from future broadcasts, public talks etc will only be useful if I can find them again in the future almost like a spiritual personal knowledge base (PKM). Any suggestions are welcome. Also just had the idea of occasionally exporting 'notes' using JWLManager to another app that maybe has a more forgiving search function that I could fall back on in a pinch, if I'm trying to find something and don't have the exact phrase. Thanks again.

Friday, February 27 Discernment will safeguard you.—Prov. 2:11. David told his son Solomon that he would be successful only as long as he obeyed Jehovah God. Sadly, later in life Solomon turned to other gods. Jehovah withdrew his favor, and Solomon lost the wisdom to govern in righteousness and justice. (1 Ki. 11:9, 10; 12:4) What is the lesson for us? Obedience leads to success. (Ps. 1:1-3) Of course, Jehovah has not promised to give us the riches and the glory of Solomon. But if we obey our God, he will give us wisdom that will enable us to make sound decisions. (Prov. 2:6, 7; Jas. 1:5) His principles can guide us in such practical matters as employment, education, entertainment, and money. Applying godly wisdom will protect us from lasting harm. (Prov. 2:10, 11) We will cultivate strong friendships. And we will have the guidance we need for a happy family life. w24.11 10-11 ¶11-12

Using Suno to compose songs is really enjoying; however, using CapCut AI to add video is a lot more challenging. Something I'm working on.

Hello Brothers! I wanted to ask if any of yall have had issues with the JW Library app on android. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve had a couple brothers and sister come up to me to help them with the app. They all had a similar issue. When they tried opening a publication it would say “Publication not Available”. If the publication was previously downloaded it would open but new publications wouldn’t download. I made sure Offline mode was off and download over data was on. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling it would sometimes not help. It has happed with a couple brothers, and wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue?

FWIW - we are now on 8.0 #1435 and have experienced no issues. All users have successfully transitioned to a new server without incident. Mobile on Android is working well. One observation regarding mobile app. If same user opens mobile app after running Win11 app, he has to respond to code sent to his registered e-mail. When he then goes back to Win11, same thing: has to respond to e-mail code.

We haven’t updated quite yet to NWS 8.0 as we were hesitant when seeing “beta” for the mobile version. Reading some of the latest issues makes me still hesitant. Any suggestions to go ahead and update or maybe wait a little while longer? As far as I know we haven’t had any major glitches lately.

What do privacy-first and zero-knowledge mean? Privacy-first means: use as little personal data as possible. Baruch does not store names, addresses, or phone numbers in the cloud. Only scheduling information is shared. Personal details remain locally on your own device. This reduces risk and lowers administrative responsibility. Zero-knowledge means: even the software provider cannot see personal data. There is simply no access to names or contact details through the internet. Even in the event of a hack, no personal information can be exposed. What does this mean for you as an elder? Less worry about data breaches Less GDPR complexity Less administrative burden More peace of mind You can plan and organize — without carrying extra responsibility for online stored personal data.

A brother sent a request for public speakers but I had a question before approving so I sent a reply. After sending the reply I cannot approve any of the speakers. Do I have to wait for a reply through NWS or does he have to make the request again?

Baruch provides a unified, platform-aware popup framework that supports: Desktop popups (Windows) Mobile bottom sheets (Android / iOS) Generic popup templates Strongly typed edit popups Clean separation between UI structure and platform behavior The goal of this architecture is: One consistent popup programming model Platform-specific rendering behavior No duplicated popup logic Clear lifecycle control Core Design Principles Single popup abstraction All popups derive from BasePopupView. Platform-specific host Rendering is delegated to an IBaruchPopupHost implementation. Desktop ≠ Mobile Windows uses SfPopup. Android/iOS use SfBottomSheet. No visual tree hacks BottomSheet is not injected into arbitrary layout layers. It is attached at Page level when required. Content is platform-neutral Popup content is built once via PopupViewTemplate. The popup system behaves correctly for the platform while remaining conceptually unified in the application architecture.

Stops are found on organs, but they are more like 'starts'.

Thank you dear brother Venlo, your concern for our spiritual family is deeply appreciated. We always need encouragement and support which Jehovah is providing at the right time by means of the friendship from fellow worshippers.

Ask when the first episode will be released 🙈
