Good news! It was announced today, that photos can now be taken in the "RVT areas" at the Australasia Branch. So we might start seeing some shots from the backlot and actual props come through. (Previously, we were instructed to put the cameras away at these locations.) 📸 Now I'll have to go again. Then I can get some photos of where I have been. So far, I was only allowed to collect memories! Lol

Headshots: Left to Right: Thaddeus, Judas Iscariot, Simon the Cananaean, Thomas, Andrew, Peter, Nathaniel/Bartholomew, Philip, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus Brothers: John and James the sons of Zebedee

They should do a public update on this, Australian tourism would skyrocket!

A young man was going door to door in a very affluent neighborhood looking for work. A man said he could paint the porch and everything he needed was in the garage. After he was done and was getting paid he said "BTW, it's a Ferrari, not a Porsche"

She had an ill mother then she was cured by Jesus Aparently she couldn’t keep her mouth shut and soon lots of ill people came to Jesus to be cured 😵‍💫😅

Yes, there are lots of wolves out there. This community is very different from Facebook in the sense that, instead of posting just one pic or some brief text, here you are able to have more extensive discussions and get to know others better. While no site on the internet that allows discussion is completely immune to apostates, they are quickly identified and removed here, most times before anyone other than the mods are able to see anything they post.

Wife and I heard a humming noise from the Kitchen Range but couldn't figure out what was causing it. After a few days wife called the appliance store for a technician to come out. He took a few seconds to size up the situation and turned the overhead fan off. Another $100 down the drain.

You posted that 5 hrs ago and still no photos??? How dare you!!! 😆🤪

I WANT FULL REPORT OF EVERY SQUARE CENTIMETERS !

I was just talking to a brother whose son is in video services in the US. They are reducing staff and even discussing downsizing Ramapo - because they are able to use AI for so much of the artwork and videos. He was telling me that what used to take weeks is now taking days and with only a few people instead of a large staff. More and more are getting sent back into the field. They are even able reduce the number of people needed for acting out scenes. That is a lot of donated funds saved and more workers for the field. It won't surprise me if we see an update soon describing all the ways the GB has approved for AI usage. I know they will always have humans to review, edit and approve the final product; but most of our pictures and videos will be at least partially if not fully AI generated.

This came out last year. (Re 17:16, 17 w25.11 31 and this year too, declaration of “peace and security” (1Th 5:3) may come before or after destruction of false religion: w26.02 30-31

I used live captions on my iPad, and ran it through ChatGPT to try and match the lines spoken to their appropriate verses (feel free to point out any inaccuracies) Do you have faith that I can do this? - Yes, Lord. (Mt 9:28) My little daughter is extremely ill. Please, come. (Mark 5:23) Have mercy on me, Lord. Son of David. (Mt 15:22) Who are men saying the son of Man is? - Some say John the Baptist. Others, Elijah. You, though. Who do you say I am? - You are the Christ. The son of the living God. (Mt 16:13-16) Do not think I came to bring peace to the earth… - (you need to leave this place) …I came to bring, not peace, But a sword. (Mt 10:34) Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Whose father and mother we know. (John 6:42) I chose you, 12. Yet one of you is a slanderer. (John 6:70) Get behind me, Satan. (Mt. 16:23, Mr 8:33) What have I to do with you? Jesus! Son of the most high God! (Mr 5:7) Have no fear. Only exercise faith. (Mr 5:36)

The only way to get that is to cast lots, I guess…

To resolve this problem with 4.0.11 you have to delete the entry in red in the error message that pops up. It warns you but press yes. Upon restarting the app all the entries for your Assignments, Duties, Reports and Upcoming are gone. Open settings then About and click on Refresh Data, ignore any warning. It will repopulate the app with your personal data.

The success of this Forum depends on members reporting to the mods anything out of line with the GB.

It shows we are still moving forward.

There will be a significant update to the add-on soon.

The intro of the apostles felt like the intro to a heist movie.

I was hesitant to join as I've had bad experiences in the past. Nothing really happened but I had joined a FaceBook group called "Jehovah Witnesses" Personally not a fan of FaceBook but I thought I would try it out. It wasnt hard to find that the mods were posting in anti witness groups and bragging how they were misleading newer ones in their group. Not really thinking I took screenshots and posted on their page. Of course they deleted and blocked me. If I was smart I would have just DM people on the site but that is why we are warned. I havent tried another group till this one.

I released an ebook on Lulu: End of All Kingdoms in The News, Presenting the famous “End of All Kingdoms in 1914” in The World of August 30, 1914. I present it here with links to purchase: End of All Kingdoms in The News This is my first time publishing a book. I also made a book trailer:

Also, you could only stand from a distance from the outdoor set, but now you can walk through the set as part of the main tour if they're not using it at the time of your tour. I did have a Private tour of the set; my cousin was a Bethelite at the time. But we were strictly not allowed to take photos while walking around the town.

Thursday, May 14 He will judge the inhabited earth with righteousness and the peoples with his faithfulness.—Ps. 96:13. How will Jehovah glorify his name in the near future? By means of his judgments. Soon he will execute Babylon the Great for bringing reproach on his holy name. (Rev. 17:5, 16; 19:1, 2) Some who witness the destruction of Babylon the Great might join us in true worship. Finally, at Armageddon, Jehovah will destroy Satan’s entire system, eliminating all those who oppose him and blaspheme his name but saving all those who love and obey him and who are proud to give him glory. (Mark 8:38; 2 Thess. 1:6-10) After the final test that follows Christ’s Thousand Year Reign, Jehovah will have completely sanctified his name. (Rev. 20:7-10) At that time, “the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah as the waters cover the sea.” (Hab. 2:14) How thrilling it will be when everyone alive will be giving Jehovah the glory due his name! w25.01 7 ¶15-16

Wednesday, May 13 This man offered one sacrifice for sins for all time.—Heb. 10:12. Jesus focused special attention on people who felt weighed down by sin and invited them to become his followers. He knew that sin was the root cause of mankind’s ills. So he reached out to men and women who were known to be sinners. Using an illustration, he explained: “Healthy people do not need a physician, but those who are ill do.” He added: “I came to call, not righteous people, but sinners.” (Matt. 9:12, 13) Jesus lived up to those words. He gently forgave the sins of the woman who washed his feet with her tears. (Luke 7:37-50) He taught vital truths to the Samaritan woman at the well, though he knew of her immoral lifestyle. (John 4:7, 17-19,25, 26) God even empowered Jesus to undo the end result of all sin—death. How? Jesus resurrected people—male and female, children and adults.—Matt. 11:5. w24.08 4 ¶9-10

There are different degrees of apostasy. We’re here not to judge who is within redemption and who isn’t. Satan was perfect, contemporary apostates are imperfect. GB acknowledges apostates can come back:

James, NWP devs are not members here nor read this forum. They will never know all you have posted unless you file a ticket by means of their support system. Complaining here is ok, but it won't solve anything.

Jesus' green clothes were nice. His brown set was also in the wilderness, with the different textures along with the embroidery, nice but simple.

I'm wondering if there are tutorials to do clothes like they have in the movie. I love Jesus green set

It's not so difficult to identify Neanderthals; most of them hold key responsibilities in governments around the earth.

It is interesting... this film is interesting in itself. Sometimes I have found myself wondering: how is it possible that they have achieved this!? But, a few weeks ago, I have found my answer. It is true they have translated this film (whole or partially) in 2300 languages, and that is a huge accomplishment. However, Jesus' command was not to distribute his life story and leave the people like sheep without a shepherd. He said: "Go, therefore, and make disciples (μαθητεύσατε)." This Greek word means, according to a reverence work: Cognate: 3100 mathēteúō (from 3101 /mathētḗs, "disciple") – to disciple, i.e. helping someone to progressively[/i] learn the Word of God to become a matured, growing disciple (literally, "a learner," a true Christ-follower); to train (develop) in the truths of Scripture and the lifestyle required, i.e. helping a believer learn to be a disciple of Christ in belief and practice. [/b] See 3101 (mathētēs). And this exactly is what we do in 1121 languages.[emoji3590] Just my two cents haha...

Only a 1,000 languages more to go to catch up .... Jesus Film Project Statistics It is officially accredited by The Guinness Book of World Records as the "Most Translated Film" in history, having been translated and available for download in 1,977 languages as of May 2022, with many others in process.[29] By the end of 2023, the Jesus film was available in 2,210 languages.

OK - James' fix did work for me. I read it more carefully. FIX: For my Androis, everything showed Loaded Successfully except under Persons there was a red Loading Error and a link to click "Delete Local Data." I clicked that and a popup appeared - I clicked "Yes" and that restored everything. Thanks so much James! It is going to be a nightmare if we have to instruct all of the publishers how to do this. Maybe the developers will fix this soon.

Lasagna, Sandwiches and Brownies...😁

Apparently 409 didn't clean things up as well as expected...

Helicopter. Someone from the future wanted to see Jesus as a baby...

An update on this issue.... After several emails back & forth, sending screenshots of everything, it's acknowledged as a bug which should be resolved in a minor NWS update soon. In fairness, some of the screenshots were bits I'd forgotten to send, but eventually with all the information I had the result. Given the time difference (12 hours) it took a couple of days, which is fair enough. Hopefully soon we'll have an update, which migh5 also resolve these other issues 😂

I think a great many things will become clear post Armageddon.

Hi everyone, A quick update — and first of all, a big thank you to everyone here who has been using JW Sync and sharing feedback, questions, and bug reports. It really has shaped where this little project is going. I'm happy to share that JW Sync now has its own proper home at ** www.jwsync.org. **. I paid for a real domain rather than leaving things on a free hosting URL. The reasons were: - **More permanent** — no risk of the link disappearing or changing one day. - **More secure** — proper SSL, and a domain that's clearly the one you'd expect. - **Easier to remember and share** — jwsync.org is a lot simpler than the old address. The old link will still keep working for a while, but please switch over to jwsync.org going forward. The other thing I wanted to share is that the whole project is now openly on GitHub: https://github.com/j-syncer/Jw-sync- A few reasons for putting it all out in the open: - **Privacy you can verify.** The whole premise of JW Sync has always been that nothing ever leaves your device — every merge happens privately in your browser. With the code public, you (or anyone you trust who reads code) can actually check that for yourself. You don't have to take my word for it anymore. - **Help and contributions.** If you happen to have some development experience and notice something that could be improved, or want to suggest a feature, you're warmly welcome to open an issue or share a suggestion. Anyone who'd like to help out is welcome. - **Permanence.** Even if I one day stepped away, the code stays available so someone else could pick it up and keep it going. Please do keep an eye on the forum as things develop, and as always, let me know if you run into any problems or have ideas. Every bit of feedback so far has shaped this tool for the better — I'm genuinely thankful for each one. Warm regards I will still be using JW sink alpha for all my alpha and beta testing. Just to make sure I don't break the usability of the actual main site, I want to make sure it's Rock solid. So whenever you are in a hurry rushing towards a meeting, you don't have to worry about the main site not doing its basic function.

So far in the congregation 18 are on version 4.0.11 and the update was done either automatically or manually, Of these 4 had the loading error problem. It seems to be that some phones and tablets don't exhibit this problem after the update.

Wife's phone updated over night and it is a Galaxy S21-5G with Android 15 and it has the loading error. So perhaps some of your publishers will experience this problem after an automatic update.

Yes I put their photos up: https://jwtalk.net/topic/62070-did-we-see-matthew-and-john-already-gnj/?do=findComment&comment=1095730 we actually did see eight of the twelve by the end of episode 2
