APRIL 11, 2024 WHAT’S NEW First Half of the Book of Hebrews (Study Edition) Now Available Online The first half of the Bible book of Hebrews (chapters 1-7) is now available in the study edition of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures on jw.org and in JW Library. This release includes over 200 new study notes along with some new media gallery items. The second half of Hebrews (chapters 8-13) will be published at a later date. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=500800107&srcid=share

Awesome indeed, and the study notes are extensive. Wow. Usually the entire book is updated with study notes, if I am not mistaken? However, the Media Gallery looks complete, as it also covers chapters 9 and 13 Perhaps we are getting everything so far researched.

Very helpful points for our upcoming worldwide campaign in September 2024 👍 Robert Hendriks, so positive about the campaign to publicize God’s Kingdom last year. Just wondering…. Is brother Hendriks still the main spokesman or is another brother handling the Public Information Desk at headquarters ?

Yes, the update is available in Britain too. Usually WT library is a month or so behind JW Library, however this update makes both libraries fully updated together. Nice.

Both of these brothers apparently volunteered for the assignment to demonstrate reasonableness.. Let the [bearded] one not look down on the one not [bearded], and let the one not [bearded] not judge the one [bearded], for God has welcomed him.

That's OK, because Friday release now looks like a certainty once all the translations are completed. (If I am not mistaken) This also means brother Sanderson has another few days for his beard to grow more fully. (just kidding)

Almost certainly yes. If so, we might know by late Thursday perhaps ?🤔 Indeed. That would be amazing if possible, especially as the Memorial of Jesus’ Death approaches. Now is the right time to pray that Jehovah’s spirit helps our dear brothers and sisters to overcome challenges to prepare to commemorate Jesus death in a meaningful way (whatever their circumstances are, or where they are).

We usually receive Governing Body Update #2 by the middle of March (or early March). Therefore we are expecting Update #2 next week. Does anyone know who our host will be or the subject matter?

I don’t know about that, but let’s not be dogmatic about it. 😅

Sorry to hear that, maybe use the iCloud to share your data?

Just wondering if you have resolved this issue now? I'm considering switching from android to iPhone so that my iPad can share data with my phone?

My understanding is… If it’s coming today, it should come about 6pm in UK, maybe 7/8pm in Europe. Thats normally because in the US, it becomes available in the servers around midday 12/1 pm. However, it can be several hours later (or next day) before seen on jw.org The short answer is “I don’t know”.

Yes, Watchtower Library has just updated with meeting Workbooks for 2024 Jan/Feb and March/April and Watchtower study edition for 2024 Jan/Feb yay 😊

2023 Governing Body Update #8 Due this Friday 15th, according to...

If I counted correctly, December 2023 was the 105th Monthly Broadcast. 🙏 (excluding any parts 2 & 3) This would have been higher by 6, but the July/Aug Broadcasts were replaced by Convention Programs in 2020, 2021 & 2022

Thanks for the clarification, we have a broadcast almost every week for the next few weeks then. ☺️ We must have had over 100 monthly broadcasts since the first one in October 2014?

Just wondering if part 2 will come next week, Dec 18th, or perhaps sooner? Will Part 3 come on December 25th or included with part 2 next week?

Good point Paul, Actually, the slower schedule started in 2018 ! January 2013: Matthew 1-6 (through to Revelation by end of 2013) 2014 to 2017 Genesis to Malachi Slower schedule from 2018 .. January 2018: Matthew 1-3 (through to Acts 20 by end of 2018) January 2019: Acts 21, 22 (through to Revelation by end of 2019) extending the schedule from 5 to 6 years. It seems we have moved from a 5 year schedule (2009 to 2013) to a 10 year schedule (2020 to 2030) Jan 2020 Genesis 1,2 Jan 2021 Leviticus 18,19 Jan 2022 Judges 15,16 Jan 2023 2 Kings 22,23 Jan 2024 Job 32,33 Jan 2025 Psalms 127-131 Jan 2026 Jeremiah 1,2 ? Jan 2027 Ezekiel 30,31 ? Jan 2028 Matthew 1-3 ? Jan 2029 Acts 21,22 ? (to Revelation) 💥 Jan 2030 Genesis 1,2 ? (or New Scrolls) 😊

(slightly off topic, but..) Interesting that in 2024 February 5-11th, we start reading from PSALMS 1-4 February 2024 5th Psalms 1-4 12th Psalms 5-7 19th Psalms 8-10 (3 weeks to review Psalms 1 to 10) We might complete Psalms by end of February 2025 (previously took 5 months) Such a helpful pace to consider in-depth quality Bible Reading Thank you Jehovah and Jesus and the Faithful Slave 🙏 This compares with 8 years ago, these 10 chapters were covered in 1 week: (when we changed from Kingdom Ministry to CLMM) May 2016 Meeting Workbook—2016 PSALMS 1-10

I don’t think we ever had a calendar year without more study notes being released since the first ones, ( I may be wrong) therefore we are in expectation, are we not? 🤓

I don’t know for sure, but we are now surely due for more Study Note additions since Philemon, which was released a just over a year ago.

Good question, I say we will receive the Study Notes for Hebrews before October 2024, also James and the 2 letters of Peter. And Study Notes for the rest of the Christian Greek Scriptures by the end of 2025 Surely! 🙏 Study Notes for the Hebrew Scriptures by 2030. Study Notes for the New Scrolls will be included on release (probably)

I now think we will receive the Study Notes for Hebrews before October, also James and the 2 letters of Peter.

Indeed, but really we show Love without charge. 😅
