I have been making NWS backups using an older Seagate Replica. I just foung out it is outdated and can no longer be used for backups. I want to get another external device for backups. Does anyone know about how much storage space I will need for a large congregation? Or does anyone have a recommendation?

I was considering watching the show because it sounds up my alley. I guess my algorithm in my fire cube thought the same 🤣

I have the printed literature to look at. I have the same literature in digital format. I usually peruse the information in a search manner. For instance, I might hear a comment about a clarification of belief concerning Jude verse 7..."In the same manner, Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah and the cities around them also gave themselves over to gross sexual immorality and pursued unnatural fleshly desires; they are placed before us as a warning example by undergoing the judicial punishment of everlasting fire." I will try to remember what our belief about this scripture was when I first began to study. Then I will check the number of times we have adjusted that thought and when. Then I will look up the latest understanding and compare them. It is my version of 'research, study, meditate and relearn'...♥️ Whether I use the digital or printed material does not usually change the manner of search. The digital material usually only goes back to 1950 or less. I have the printed versions in electronic PDF files so I can use my computer. Our Index shows research back to 1930.

Yes, I still have the hard copies of the bound volumes, starting about 1950. (I inherited them from the very first Witness that I ever spoke to.) Once in a while I dig out a volume, just at random, and find an article I want to read. It's quite an uplifting feeling doing that.

thats pretty cool. I had a friend that played Jezebel in one drama and I couldnt unsee her as that after but shes hilarious. I was a stage hand for Joseph drama and they dropped a rock on me, the other guy didnt show. I was young and asked if it looked bad and the guy who dropped said I cant lie, it looked bad. Well the show must go on and I didnt think about it much after that

I hope things get better for all. https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/democratic-republic-congo/Ebola-Outbreak-Threatens-Millions-in-the-Democratic-Republic-of-the-Congo/

I’ve been hesitating to write this post, but I really need some help. My son is looking for a room to sublet for 3 to 5 months. A 3-month stay is definite, with the possibility of extending for 2 more months. He will be working near The Museum of Broadcast Communications in downtown, and he is okay with a 40-50 minute commute. We are from South Korea. My son is in his mid-twenties and recently graduated from college. He was raised in the Truth; while he is not a baptized Witness, he is a very quiet, respectful, and responsible person. I am really hoping he might be able to find a place with a JW family or brother. If you are interested in subletting, or if you know anyone who might be, please send me a PM. Thank you so much!

Tuesday, May 26 A true friend shows love at all times.—Prov. 17:17. We can support courting couples by what we say or do not say. At times, we may need to control ourselves. (Prov. 12:18) For instance, we may be eager to tell others that a couple have begun dating, but the couple may want to share the news themselves. We should not gossip about a courting couple or criticize them about personal matters. (Prov. 20:19; Rom. 14:10; 1 Thess. 4:11) Furthermore, the couple may not appreciate comments or questions implying that they should or will get married. What if a couple decide to end the courtship? We should avoid prying into the matter or taking sides. (1 Pet. 4:15) A breakup does not necessarily mean that the couple failed. Usually, it simply means that the courtship achieved its purpose—it helped the couple come to a good decision. However, that decision may still have caused them emotional pain. So we can look for ways to support them. w24.05 31 ¶15-16

They are mostly found in australia and some areas of SE asia like Malasyia, i think in Florida there's a tree SIMILIAR to it but not as bad, i'd have to look it up a bit more. But i actually just learned that the gympie gympie actually has a suicide count. The pain lasts so long (Longest documented case is 15 years) that some people have actually killed themselves because of this, needless to say i found out about this AFTER my dumb comment :/. But at least we all learned something Adding this video for anyone that wanna see someone do something dumb.

I almost posted about the speed of sound but had to look up info on the gympy gympy, which I guess is a pointed plant. One more reason to not go camping.

Wow, I'm not sure what drama I would want to be in of the current ones - maybe play a Pharisee in one of the Jesus dramas ... Bonus: I have been in three dramas back when we had live ones at the Conventions. I was not a main character in any of them but did have a couple interesting parts as well as my own scene in one.

Acronyms are common but were not so when I was born. My name, PAULINE, is from notes the nurse took when my Mom was in Labor. My medicated Mother uttered: This is - Pleasant And Undying Love, I Never Expected, and when the nurse handed the paper over, my recovering mum said, "That's what I'll name the baby." I'm glad she didn't use a seven word first name.

can you imagine going camping and accidently wiping with a gympie gympie. Just give me the poison ivy 😧

The OPPE acronym stands for Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation and is a continuous healthcare framework mandated by The Joint Commission to objectively track the clinical competence and professional behavior of licensed practitioners over time and relies on both quantitative metrics and qualitative data to identify performance trends and ensure patient safety.

OPPE was the third word, but I digress and will write a little about grammar, in general. When I was teaching (high school completion to all ages) I taught pronoun usage. Now people can choose which pronoun for self definition. I have not seen how that is on standard or high school tests if at all. Online pronoun quizzes seem the same as always. One thing I ran into when teaching is that students learned around third grade to always use "she and I" and never use "her and me" which is the correct form when speaking about the objects of a sentence. Ex: "The teacher gave sandwiches to her and me." is correct. The word most frequently used incorrectly was 'their.' I do miss teaching but each morning when I face the traffic tie-up reports, I am glad to be off road.

I spent some time this afternoon rereading a topic here on 'how did you get the truth.' I will try again next time as my recall is not as sharp as it was, but I am trying to learn more about friends on talknet. Since no one in my family has come in to the truth, this site has been my conversation for some time.

Or, originally Oppe, was extended in middle English. The contraction changed the second term in an alternative expression, as OR (and either).

The issue ended up being that all the families ended up under the first name in the data. I had to go change them all back.

"To" be or not to be is a familiar soliliquy from Shakespeare's plays.

I used to have bound volumes on the mid bookcase of my split staircase. My sons used to stop and pick out an article to cover, such well written and positive information of all sorts. I miss that set up, but am glad to have online research. I happened to recount that my study conductor had been dfd and left the truth again, so it seems I actually got the truth out of our literature.

Russian has warned all foreigners to leave Kyiv saying that they will now be striking the Ukrainian defense industry, decision making centers and command posts in the capital. Are our dear brothers and sisters ok?

Right now, I am rereading, and listening to, “Draw Close to Jehovah”. It’s been my goal for some time, and I’m really enjoying it.

Have you tried doing the Refresh Data? Its a new feature in NWP Settings, About. Have one of the NWS administrators make a small change in any address and sync to NWP.

When I used to have a full set of the bound volumes from the 1980s to about 2000, I would re-read the articles.

NWP app seems to have everyone living at the same address. It's the address that the first person in the database lives at. In NWS addresses are OK. But not in the app 4.0.12. Any suggestions? Others seeing this? tyia
