Maybe someone was cooking meth ... explosions seem to go hand-in-hand with that sort of risky thing.

As we learned in the Sermon on the Mount, a person’s light in their body may really be great darkness. Mat 6:23…”But if your eye is envious, your whole body will be dark. If the light that is in you is really darkness, how great that darkness is!”

I started collecting coins & cards & a few comics as a kid. And just recently started up my collecting habits again. It hits differently as an adult with money though... I started collecting comics again first, until I filled up 6 boxes worth. And started realizing how tedious it is to ensure there isn't anything improper in all the comics I was buying. It's so easy to mix in magic & spiritism these days, it's a constant battle to be on guard against it. And then...I began to realize how repetitive the stories are. Bad guys cause trouble, good guy rises up and defeats them. If they can't, they get help/stronger then they beat them. Rinse & repeat. So...that got boring. And when you have funds to buy whatever you want...there's no thrill of "finally getting that next issue" or whatever. So....that idea died pretty fast. I then began collecting coins again. So many. And again, the realization just recently hit me that there's no end in sight. Just about every style you can imagine is available out there. Like penguins? Here's a penguin coin! Like lions? Here's a lion coin! Etc. etc. Oh and here's a copper version. And a silver version. And a gold version! BUT WAIT...THERE'S MORE!! Then we have the 1 oz version. The 5 oz version. The 10 oz version. Then the MIGHTY POUND version! Oh and here's a colorized version. And just to make it weird....a triangle version!! No...end...in....sight. So...I'm getting tired of this hobby...and room to store them all. I haven't gotten back into collecting cards.....though I have to admit I snagged a few Star Trek card packs for about $2/pack at a recent auction. Couldn't resist. But I'm not about to get full-on into card collecting again. I'm learning!! My favorite collectables are the coins, because at least they have value, even if it is just the value a refiner would put on them to melt them down... My favorite item is a 3D printed coaster, signed by William Shatner. It's my favorite, because it's the only 1 in existence like it. I find the best deals on WhatNot. ⚠️⚠️WARNING⚠️⚠️ - you will spend more than you intend to. And it can be very ⚠️addicting⚠️ to look for deals on this app. There are settings in the app to limit how much you can spend. Please use them if you dare to check it out!! I bought a 16 TB & a 22 TB hard drives for similar reasons, though most of my collection is in ".iso" format (DVDs). Would be cooler if I had everything as .mp4s or similar so then I could put it all into JellyFin and host my own streaming server. 🤔 Maybe one day I'll have an AI agent smart enough to extract the videos from each .iso and set that all up for me. 😁

Thanks for the update. I have finally seen the guidance. Very interesting.

Leonardo Da Vinci is quoted as saying, "“There are three classes of people: those who see, those who see when they are shown, those who do not see.” Simon and Garfunkle are quoted as saying in the song, "The Boxer," "A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest." Jesus said, "And the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled in their case. It says: ‘You will indeed hear but by no means get the sense of it, and you will indeed look but by no means see.  For the heart of this people has grown unreceptive, and with their ears they have heard without response, and they have shut their eyes, so that they might never see with their eyes and hear with their ears and get the sense of it with their hearts and turn back and I heal them." --- Matthew 13:14, 15

We took a detour here and got off topic, didn't we?

I suspect that the '1,000 minutes' is an approximate length, it self based on the 18 x 55 calculation. FWIW so far we have: 71:01 - Episode 1: The True Light of the World 52:46 - Episode 2: “This Is My Son” 39:40 - Episode 3: “I Am He” 54:56 - Episode 4: “This Is Why I Have Come” 30:47 - Episode 5: “Astounded at His Way of Teaching” 50:35 - Episode 6: “Are You the Coming One?” Which gives a total of 299 minutes over 6 episodes - AKA 50 minutes per episode.

They were subsections of the first definition.

well there's an hint of a pattern after 2025_6, in regards to deltas... there's x, 1, 1, (x+4=y), 1, 1, (y+4=z)... If it keeps like that, the next codes will be, 62, 63, 78, 79, 80, 98... But it's probably nothing...

New Watchtower Library Update Bug fixes

My thoughts are that it's because the organization would like to film other series like acts of the apostles or a David series at the same time as the filming/production of the good news according to Jesus drama. I believe eventually we'll have a video Bible within the study Bible.

Yes, hence why I need the elder to connect it to my congregation. Though I need to change the language first

1,000 minutes over 18 episodes, so each episode would be approximately 55 minutes long.

Are you currently serving as an elder or ministerial servant in your congregation? NWS is generally just for appointed servants that have responsibilities that require access to the program.

I bought a hard drive to archive as much movies, series, comics and video games as possible Archiving saves media from disappearing forever

These are the instructions for the Midweek Meeting. It tells how it is to be conducted, who may participate in each part, how long and so on. The current published S-38 is dated 9/25. You can download it in a variety of formats. The new WTL update yesterday provided a new version dated 8/26.

It's not connected to the congregation, that's why I went to see my elder about it but he doesn't understand english so I wanted to change the language

Is your NWS connected to a congregation? Have you asked the congregation NWS Admin for help?

Imagine videos in the assemblies too... A series of videos, speech after speech, like we have in the congress, following a story and applying lessons from that program. More videos would mean more use. Who knows?

The fact that you cannot click on the "Print" button usually means that your admin needs to reset your permissions. They can get turned off during some updates. The fact that you can't click the 'Me" button usually means the program interface is stuck. You can try: Force it completely closed Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc. In Task Manager, select New World Scheduler. Click End task. Restart the computer and open it again. If that doesn't work try: Download the installer directly from the official New World Scheduler website. Before installing: Close New World Scheduler completely. Restart the computer. Confirm with someone in your congregation which current version/build everyone should be using. Download and install the latest agreed-upon version. New World Scheduler’s official instructions specifically recommend restarting, downloading the installer again, and reinstalling when the program does not work correctly after an update. They state that reinstalling over the existing installation does not delete the congregation data.

What are S-38 guidelines? ty

If you hover over the icon, it tells you what it is for. The house is for Congregation. The "rectangle" is fo Printing 🖨️ The question mark icon you were clicking is for Help articles. Your screenshot looks like you have not opened or created a congregation yet, which is why you cannot do much.

That’s not the rest of the first definition, these are three different definitons
