So how do I clear my storage ?

Did you get it now? It should be in an update.

Where did you find it? The latest update on jw.org is dated February 3, 2026.

SEOUL, March 24 (Korea Bizwire) — South Korea will tighten enforcement of a vehicle rationing system for public-sector employees as it braces for potential oil supply disruptions stemming from prolonged tensions in the Middle East, the climate ministry said Tuesday, signaling a broader shift toward emergency energy conservation measures. Beginning Wednesday, authorities will step up oversight of a five-day rotation scheme that restricts driving based on the final digit of a vehicle’s license plate, effectively barring each group from the road one weekday. According to this the restriction is for public-sector (or government) employees and there will be one day they are restricted from driving.

Speaking of which! S.Korea just imposed a vehicle usage restriction to save on the usage of barrels of oil. Can you imagine if this happens in many regions? Going back on Zoom in waves because we're restricted? That would be wild. Half the congregation show up because they can now use their car while the other half has to stay home.

Wednesday, March 25 I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.—Luke 4:43. Jesus zealously preached “the good news of the Kingdom” because he knew it was the work God wanted him to do. Jesus made the ministry his primary focus in life. Even late into his ministry, he traveled “from city to city and from village to village,” teaching others. (Luke 13:22) He also trained additional disciples to work with him as preachers. (Luke 10:1) Today, too, preaching the good news is the primary work that Jehovah and Jesus want us to do. (Matt. 24:14; 28:19, 20) We can strengthen our zeal for the ministry by viewing people as Jehovah does. He wants as many as possible to hear the good news and to respond to it. (1 Tim. 2:3, 4) To that end, he trains us to be more effective in sharing this lifesaving message. Even if people do not respond now, they may have an opportunity to do so before the end of the great tribulation. w25.03 15-16 ¶5-7

This update doesn't seem to be available for me - yet

Our president in Philippines has declared a national state of emergency. Oil reserved will run out in 45 days. Lpgas will run out in 23 days.

I like how the modern fonts are rendered properly now.

‘Thank God is not over about chocolate, then have I to get involved my sis.

Good News According to Jesus

We may not see WT Library discontinued for the foreseeable future. 😁

The war is about oil. Treasure. Iran has the 3rd largest reserve.No wonder they have ammunition.

New Watchtower Library Update The icon has been updated

The app downloads and stores tiles for new videos or jwpub files in your device's memory, even if you don't download them, that's why the saved data increases over time.

For those of us who are Americans, Russia has been "the enemy" in popular culture here for decades, since the 1980s and even before when the Space Race began in the 1950s. They have also persecuted Jehovah's people for decades. In the war, Russia is clearly the one acting aggressively. Nobody in Ukraine, including their government officials, wanted a war until boots were on the ground and missiles in the air. It's like Putin is trying to piece together the old USSR.

A man who made coffins was on his way to deliver one when his car broke down. Not wanting to be late, he lifted the coffin onto his head and continued the journey on foot. Along the way, some policemen stopped him and began questioning him. "Do you have a documents or a receipt?" Without thinking, the man replied,

I have noticed that if I remove JW Library and everything in it, and then reinstall the app and download all the same publication I had before, it uses less space. I don't know if some temporary files are remaining and clogging up space, but something is.

I didn't realize how long it takes to get marines in place ... Thousands of Marines to Arrive in Centcom the Same Day as Trump’s Iran Deadline https://share.google/12wLSJzIcXkOHhrLl It will still take a few days once near there to be in position - so, Monday or Tuesday of next week. This thing is definitely going into extra innings.

I have made little functional progress on the project recently. I have focused on the foundation of the product. Refactoring edit screens is rarely the most exciting part of development—but it’s often where complexity quietly grows. Over time, my UI layer became a mix of bindings, event handlers, validation logic, and lifecycle code scattered across multiple methods. It worked, but it wasn’t elegant, and more importantly—it wasn’t scalable. So I decided to take a different approach: I built a small domain-specific language (DSL) to describe my edit screens declaratively. The Shift: From Imperative to Declarative Instead of wiring everything manually, my screens are now defined like this: Form.For<Entity>() .Section("General", f => f.Text(x => x.Name).Required().Bind(this), f => f.Editor(x => x.Description).Max(500).Bind(this) ) .Build(); No more scattered bindings. No more duplicated validation logic. Everything lives in one place. What Changed? This DSL allowed me to unify several concerns: UI definition Data binding Validation rules Reactive behavior All of it is now expressed fluently and consistently. The Benefits 1. Clarity and Readability Each screen now reads like a structured definition instead of a procedural script. You can understand what the form does at a glance. 2. Less Boilerplate I removed a large amount of repetitive code: no more manual BindEntry, OnInitializeEntity, or event wiring everywhere. 3. Consistency Across the App Every edit screen now follows the same pattern. That makes the codebase easier to navigate and reason about. 4. Built-in Validation Validation rules like .Required(), .Min(), and .Max() are defined right next to the field they belong to—no more jumping between files. 5. Reactive by Design With simple constructs like .Effect(...), I can react to changes in the model without adding complex event logic. 6. Extensibility Need a new behavior? Add it once to the DSL, and it’s available everywhere. This has already paid off with features like ID binding and conditional visibility. The Trade-off This approach did cost me more time upfront. Designing the DSL, refactoring existing screens, and solving edge cases (like mapping IDs to UI objects) wasn’t trivial. There were moments where the old way felt faster. But that investment is already starting to pay off. The Long-Term Payoff Now that the foundation is in place: Adding new screens is significantly faster Changes are easier and safer to implement The architecture is cleaner and more predictable The UI layer finally feels like a system—not a collection of hacks Most importantly, I’ve reduced cognitive load. I spend less time figuring out how things work and more time building features. This DSL turned my edit screens from a maintenance burden into a structured, scalable system. It wasn’t the quickest path—but it was the right one. And I’m confident it will keep paying dividends as the application grows.
