On the huh

Reminders me of the purpose of the jw-media.org website. Just in time for the midweek meeting part week of June 8 - Protect Your Heart From Misinformation

Can we expect pictures of what Bethelites are eating for lunch and JW memes? I'm not sure what the brothers (currently 40k) are expecting by following this account. Its not for us. You get more news from jw.org.

Even the publishers who only use one device are receiving the message to submit their report

Another issue with Scheduler since the 8.1 update, is that every time I open it there is "Public Speaker Congregations" data to send. Anyone else get this?

This is not true. I have NWP installed on my phone and tablet, and use both regularly. And yet still receive the reminder to submit my report. Others are getting the same. And to say there is nothing they can do about it. Write better code!

The publishers are getting final reminder notifications to submit their reports, even though they have already done so. This is confusing the publishers. Some are resubmitting their report. And since the congregation report has been submitted to the branch, its marking them as Late.

Cadbury made a reduced sugar version of the dairy milk chocolate bar by replacing the sugar with plant based fibres. It did not sell well and was discontinued. In my effort to reduce my chocolate intake, it was recommended to me to eat dates. It is a good substitute for a sweet treat.

It seems the monthly broadcasts prior to jwb-080 (May 2021) have been removed. That is when they changed the format code, prior to that it was something like pub=jwb&issue=202104

The talks and other segments that formed the monthly broadcasts are still there.

Another bug Posted a letter on the information board. Set it to display after a certain time, ie after the midweek meeting. But the letter appeared immediately on the publisher app. So I deleted it, but its still showing on the app.

Is that because a publisher needs to report for 6 months to be a regular publisher? At the moment she is an irregular publisher.

September 2026 is missing from the Life and Ministry meeting schedule. August and October is there, no September.

Pen and paper! Use the forms provided by the organization. Territory servants gave you an actual map, and recorded it on the form. You used S-4s to record NH and calls. Meeting overseers gave you an assignment slip. Other schedules on the notice board. It worked in the past, and no admin problems. Using apps may be a modern way of doing things. Not always a better way though. NWS is an app for everything. Is that good? Pros and cons, putting all your eggs in a one basket, as the saying goes. When problems occur, it can also affect everything. In the past I have used an Excel spreadsheet, then CLM Explorer to make the midweek meeting schedules. No issues with it. We have used WhatsApp and created a congregation information/notice board group. Schedules and letters in PDF format, and announcements were posted to the group for all to see. It worked. Hourglass in another we have used in past so publishers can submit reports.

They need a forum. Users could report problems, and help out each other with questions and queries.

It solved the problem on the tablet, but not on the phone. Both are on NWP 4.0.1. Strange. I refreshed the devices, now only those who updated to version 4 shows. Only 1 of my devices is showing, despite having it on 2 devices.

#1444 solved the public talk speaker names problem

NWP 4.0.1 Public speakers names and congregation not showing, listed as Unknown Song titles not showing, only the number.

Update NWS to 8.1 and NWP to 4.0 No problems with NWS, except it is showing under NWP App Devices that all devices are an old version. I know I've updated all my devices to 4.0. Not seeing the new features in NWP 4.0 either.

What if it made you discontent with living on earth?

I have build 14074. Downloaded the update 2602 package. Still on 14074. The update package still includes the old build 13445. So if you are on that build, downloading it will just update the publications data, not the application. If you are on the new build, it should stay on that one.

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.
