On the huh

In the UK, diesel is now around £2 a litre. There are talks of protests. So what a paid to fill up the tank before, will now only get me 2/3 of a tank. And since money is tight, I am only using the car for essentials, like getting the meetings.

I've been doing it as last resort. If it happens again, I will try it first and see what happens.

Another thing that works is removing the publishers device from the list.

Been having problems too with publishers pins. Had to reset pin and refresh authenticity.

We don't publicly advertise that the meeting is on zoom or the login details. So any obscure names we are 99% sure are brothers or bible students. Passcode is changed every so often, or if we think someone has it who shouldn't (ie a troublemaker). Whether online or in person at the Kingdom Hall, having the meeting open to the public is a balancing act of being friendly and welcoming and being on guard to security concerns.

I just downloaded the installer, extracted with 7zip, and cut and paste the files to the program folder.

Yes we a sharing with another congregation. Its a bit of a drive there. Just heard, August is the possible start date with completion by November.

It was about 18 years ago a decision was made to have a new kingdom hall. A search was launched to find suitable land for a hall. Nothing! A few years later and the RBC became the LDC. The LDC agreed that we needed a new place, and took over the project and the search. Still Nothing! About 10 years in, and we received news from the LDC. It was not what we expected and a little disappointing. After years of searching and failing, they decided to, rather than relocated o a new hall, they would refurb the existing one. It was disappointing because we had high hopes for a new building in a better location. Plans were drawn up. It was to be a major refurb with big structural changes, taking 8 months to complete. We were put on the list, waiting for a date. 2020, and in lockdown. The project on hold. Unbeknownst to us at the time, the LDC started to reinvestigate the possibility of a new build. Casting their nets wider and searching every pocket of land. But sadly, nothing. Back to plan B. 2022 and the project is back on. 2023 and planning permission was sought and granted. 2024 and we got a start date - March 2025. The date was postponed until August 2025 and to be completed by March 2026. July 2025, we had our last meeting at the Kingdom Hall. It was a sad and happy occasion. Within the next week, the place was cleared and stripped. Ceilings, lights, av system, carpets and chairs all removed. All ready for the project team to move in and begin. No going back now! August 2025. The project was been put on hold because of a "development". The LDC team move on to other projects, leaving us with no Kingdom Hall. March 2026. Good news! A building has been purchased! It is only 20 years old. Built by, and until recently used by, the Plymouth Brethren. Its a really nice building by the looks of it and only needs minor works doing to it. Plenty of parking spaces too. As it is already a place of worship, we are good on that front too - no seeking a change of use. Soon we hear more about the building and the new project.

Ah yes, Brother Ipad and Sister Samsung are regular attendees on Zoom.

The bible reading in the daily text doesn't start until tomorrow. This one started Friday Does anyone know if Alexa can read the memorial bible reading for each day? If so, what is the command?

JW Sign Language is no more either. It was merged with JW Library. So only 3 libraries. I'm happy that Watchtower Library is continued to be supported and developed. Find it the best for searching and research. I like the look and feel of WOL. And it can be used on any device, including Linux or Macs without extra software. On my tablet, I will use a combination of JW Library and WOL. I download current and most used publications on JWL for meetings and ministry, but use WOL for the rest. The latest WTL update, I guess will be included with update 2602. If you want to uninstall and install the new version before then, I suggest you first backup the rs_data folder + the file named update. within the Watchtower Library program folder, and then restore after installing. This will save time and data downloading the publications again.

You can download it here Watchtower Library

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.

Diesel has gone up to £1.70 a litre from £1.40 only a few weeks ago. Petrol at £1.50 now. Trying to use the car less because of this.

This reminds me of the time when a older sister asked me for hug because she needed one. What she didn't know is that I needed one too that day. So we both got the hug we needed.❤️
