    IN Rocket's zoom, Sis Vonny used the phrase topsy turvy and wondered if it is the same in US as in UK. YES! Many phrases have entered thru Britain. I have also noticed many have been retained since agrarian days, such as needle in a haystack. People often misplace an apostrophe when adding a letter s to their surname. If corrected, I have heard, "It's provincial." Provinces are in Canada, and seem to follow the same grammar rules as the rest of North America. One does not need an apostrophe after their last name if followed by an s if it is simple plural. Apostrophe and then s means possessive if followed by a noun or a contraction.

    I thought it would be fun to try and crowdsource the exact dates for the conventions. Our official site, jwevent.org, only lists the month. This way, we can better search for online news (or social media) about specific convention cities, so long as we gather the dates. edit: apparently you can just ask ChatGPT for the exact dates and it’s able to fetch them (except for the months in the past). I’d still appreciate anyone willing to help fact check the precise weekend dates. June 2026 Douala, Cameroon — date? Bucharest, Romania — date? July 2026 Calgary, Canada — July 3–5 Warsaw, Poland — July 3–5 Porto, Portugal — July 3–5 Stockholm, Sweden — July 3–5 Hamburg, Germany — July 3–5 Kaohsiung, Taiwan — July 10–12 Panama City, Panama — July 10–12 Milwaukee, USA — July 17–19 St. John’s, Canada — July 17–19 August 2026 Vilnius, Lithuania — August 7–9 Utrecht, Netherlands — August 7–9 Quito, Ecuador — August 7–9 Johannesburg, South Africa — August 7–9 September 2026 Curitiba, Brazil — September 4–6 October 2026 San Diego, USA — October 2–4 November 2026 Manila, Philippines — November 6–8 December 2026 Bangkok, Thailand — December 4–6

    Most likely pulling the official RSS feed. we have 2 official RSS feeds in english (actually more); one catches everything in the “what’s new” section except videos. The other catches only new videos. and then I made a third one which pulls from Instagram 😁

    Do you have JWPUBS installed? If so, that is the extension adding that! That is not native to JW.ORG 😅

    Re: JW.org. Maybe I'm a little behind, but I just discovered something new (to me) that I can really use! I am using Chrome browser on Windows 11 box. When i select a video, and click the download button, I see some additional options. There are the usual Video resolution choices, but NOW there is also a '.txt', 'pdf', and 'copy' option. All 3 of these produce a transcript of the video! See Image. And this feature is available on many older videos. Works for the Annual Meeting back to 2016.
  24. Dolce vita
    I used Google News to catch up on news. When I went to the “International” tab to read the posted articles, I came across the coverage of the earthquake in Venezuela. Imagine my surprise to discover JW.org as a news outlet, with a recently published article providing updates on our brothers... I'm not exactly breaking new ground here, but is this something new, or did I miss an episode?

    Do the sisters get to sit and enjoy the meetings? We in the States used to have massive cooked meals for assemblies and conventions many years ago. But it was stopped because of how much labor and time it required of the friends. Between the set up, cooking, and cleaning, many would miss large portions of the programs. Now, each person/ family brings food from home for modest lunch breaks.. just to refresh. It seems to me that meals like you describe @Ishaya, especially in the heat, would induce sleepiness in the afternoons.. 🤔

    I love my garden and the plants and connecting with nature. Jehovah is very generous. What wonders to enjoy. My garden gets very hot in summer, what plants can i put in containers that require no maintenance hardly and rapidly grow? I want to enjoy the beauties but want to spend time on other spiritual things too. "And god saw everything he had made, and behold, it was very good"

    I have the new update, however, would someone explain how to go about opening more than one JWL on a desktop? Pretend I am your grandmother. 😆 Thank you 💙

    Black sun and red moon (Rev. 6:12). The arrow of preaching stops at the horse’s hooves—that is, at Armageddon. This confirms what we now know: we will still be preaching when the system collapses in on itself. It promises to be fascinating to watch unfold. The caption reads: “A couple continues to preach zealously while awaiting the fulfillment of prophecies leading to Armageddon. 1: A church on fire. 2: The United Nations. 3: The sun and moon grow dark. 4: Soldiers in battle. 5: Riding a white horse on the clouds, Jesus prepares to shoot an arrow.

    I know we've had wolves come in and tried to disrupt Jehovah's people. That may have been what you meant but I've not seen anything comparable to this in Jehovah's organization like @Dagesmentioned. If you've seen it. @Jim Jam please let me know

      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)
