    CORRECTION: In my previous reply to Tony Downunder, I said that the failure occurs on my HP Laptop with Windows 10 Home. My error - it is fine on that device. Proverbs 10:19: KJV "In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise." NWT "When words are many, transgression cannot be avoided, But whoever controls his lips acts discreetly."

    I did not know that King James Bible with Strong's numbers inline was or is available, it seems not available under Bible Languages selection. For some time I cannot get the KJV as in the Bible dropdown list to update. Get the update prompt as shown, select it and see the download start briefly then fail showing the update icon. On two Android devices - no problem. Issue occurs on: Desktop Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Build 26200.8524 JW Library 15.8.59.0 Laptop HP Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Build 26200.8328 JW Library 15.8.59.0 Laptop HP Windows Home 22H2 Build 19045.7291 JW Library 15.8.59.0 Any suggestions greatly appreciated..

    Why not? Haven't we been doing this since 1879? Aren't Jesus words public? He's the one who first mentioned it.

    I never thought about that before. Would we announce to the world that the GT has started? I guess I always imagined we would say that Armageddon is coming soon, but I never thought about explaining the GT to people. Is it weird that that seems like private information? 😅

    The first 3 posts to our social media’s were essentially links to JW.org pages, but the post today takes you to https://spectator.com/article/ukraines-jehovahs-witnesses-are-refusing-to-go-to-war/ perhaps we’ll be linking out to JW stuff in other news outlets more than we ever used to (which was very rarely)

    Forgive me, brothers, it was my fault. I asked the brother who made the announcement if he had said not to follow the official account, and he replied that he hadn't said that. He even follows it himself and found it quite interesting. It was my mistake. I've already apologized to him, and I apologize to you all.

    Can some of the brothers check this for us.
  14. ChrisW
    Our brothers read the letter that was not a part of the information that was read to us.
  15. bvr
    Yes, it can help quite a bit. The more followers an account has, the more people are likely to see its posts when new content is published. Social media platforms often use signals such as followers, likes, shares, saves, and watch time to decide how widely to show content. Strong engagement can help posts reach people who do not already follow the account. A larger follower base can help information spread faster because more people are seeing and sharing the content. High follower counts can also increase awareness. People are more likely to discover the account through recommendations, searches, and content shared by others. For an account like JW Pressroom, this can help official information reach more journalists, government officials, academics, and members of the public. So while follower count is not the only factor, it can have a significant impact on how many people see the information and how far it reaches.

    Here in my congregation, an announcement was made about not posting only links from the JW website on social media. If anyone has posted anything from the site, please remove it. In a separate announcement, we were asked not to follow the organization's official social media accounts. Anyone wanting more information should go to the JW website. Mod edit : please disregard some wires got crossed

    I'm not familiar with social media, how does a lot of followers affect the account? Does it make more popular so more people will see it?

    Judge Judy has been on tv for 30 years. She has sponsored a number of other court tv shows. You do not need to be a real judge to hit tv as a mediator.

    The McGill coin sorter is a device that got me interested in math. I didn't have one, but a traveling ice cream man did. Knowing my family almost never could afford ice cream, I watched the ice cream seller make change without looking down at this coin belt and was determined to do that. I comforted myself by knowing those ice cream eaters would be satisfied for a short time, but learning a skill could last a lifetime. Said, done,

    Seven Bridges of Königsberg is a famous historical puzzle about whether a person could walk across all seven bridges of the city of Königsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia) without crossing any of them more than once.

    Neither Marilyn, nor Albert Einstein took a formal IQ test. Guesses have been offered. My last IQ test was decades ago; trying to keep cognitive skills active. Talk net helps, imo.

    Thursday, June 4 Men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment.—Matt. 12:41. God reminded Jonah that the Ninevites did “not even know right from wrong.” (Jonah 1:1, 2; 3:10;4:9-11) Later, Jesus used that example to teach about Jehovah’s justice and mercy. In what “judgment” would the Ninevites “rise up”? Jesus taught about a future “resurrection of judgment.” (John 5:29) He was referring to his Thousand Year Reign, during which both “the righteous and the unrighteous” will be resurrected. (Acts 24:15) For the unrighteous, this will be “a resurrection of judgment.” That is, Jehovah and Jesus will observe and evaluate their behavior and how they respond to divine teaching. If a resurrected Ninevite refuses to join in pure worship, his judgment will be one of condemnation. (Isa. 65:20) But for all those who choose to worship Jehovah faithfully, their judgment will be favorable. They will have the prospect of living forever!—Dan. 12:2. w24.05 5 ¶13-14

    Marilyn Monroe, (Norma Jean Mortensen), was born 100 years ago this week. I happen to share one (at least one) reported statistic with her. My mother said she shared ankle size with Marilyn.

      jwhess posted a post in a topic,

      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

      Is jw_pressroom on IG legit? Friends I know are liking a post on and following it. There is nothing officially on our Press Room page nor is it in our News page or a headline about it. I’m treating as junk but does anyone have details?

      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.
