Michel, there is a sister who posts offers for available jobs from time to time. You may wish to have a look at her topic here:

The Bible is clear that Jehovah does not favor one race above another. Whatever happens in Satan's world is not caused by Jehovah. Think of the area where you live. Surely there are some people who are wealthy while others are poor. Is that because Jehovah is blessing some and not the others? No! Actually, there are several factors involved: Often people who are hard-workers and honest enjoy more stability than those who are lazy or have vices. But there are also individuals who inherited all their money without doing anything to deserve it. And sometimes even people who are hard-workers suffer poverty due to bad health, crime or other circumstances. Jehovah's blessing has nothing to do with it. On the other hand, although life conditions are often better in Western countries, life is not easy either. Many Christians in Europe and America have to work very hard just to survive. Immigrants to those areas often discover that things are very different than what they were made to believe. Jehovah does not bless Christians with wealth. Jesus came from a poor family and had a humble lifestyle. The apostle Paul sometimes suffered "hunger and thirst, frequently without food, in cold and lacking clothing" (2 Corinthians 11:27). Yet no one can say they didn't have Jehovah's blessing. Jehovah doesn't promise us riches, but he promises he will take care of our needs. Many Christians, both in rich and poor countries, can witness how Jehovah always takes care of them.

Thanks, Matthew. That explains it. Once I accepted it, it hasn't appeared again.

Thanks, Jemimah!

Using v8.0 #1442. When I wanted to see which reports were still missing in my group, or in the whole congregation, I used to go to Persons, click on any publisher, Publisher Activity, and then click the newspaper icon. That would show all the publishers with their report for this month. Now when I do that it asks if I wish to create a Congregation Activity Report (S-1). If I click on it, it will show the same grid as it used to (which by the way is not the S-1 form). But why this unnecessary additional step? Is there something I am overlooking?

I vaguely remembered a story about a sick child who was granted her wish to visit Bethel. I finally found it in this 2007 Watchtower article: https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/w20070415/Adryanas-Wish/ Adryana's Wish. The article mentions "certain foundation" but doesn't say if it was Make-A-Wish or some other. I couldn't find any additional information on Make-A-Wish site or anywhere else.

We let everybody in. Their mics are disabled anyway unless they are activated from audio/video. And they can be easily removed if they cause any problem.

My start menu:

Thanks, Tarako. This is really useful.

Well done, Gretel! No matter what the circumstances of her life are, since she's willing to attend the Memorial make her feel welcome and loved. We never know the effect love can have in people.

Mike, just in case, I want to mention that we do not develop NW Scheduler or have anything to do with it. More experienced users try to help those with less experience, but that's all we can do. Any issues should be reported to the developers of the software.

The problem is that Android and iOS keep evolving and changing the requirements all the time. We developed a simple free app at work which didn't collect any data but finally we had to withdraw after a few years it because it had to be rewritten all the time to keep up with the most recent versions. Not to mention the constant paperwork to keep up with the constant legal changes and what not. We made it with the best of intentions but it became a huge time hog. I imagine something similar happened to JW Language. The number of regular users was quite limited and it was not worth all the work and paperwork.

Paul, I don't think there's a straightforward way to share only the notes for that school. As far as I know all the notes and highlights are stored together in a single file. You can share that file, but it will contain all your notes for all books and articles. One possibility would be to use some app that allows you to edit JW Library backups and remove all notes except those for the school. Then use some app to merge those with the other elder's notes. It's doable but requires some knowledge and time.

You can call the branch and ask for the Computer Department, or send a letter directly with your suggestion. The brothers appreciate the suggestions they receive and implement some of them when possible.

I seriously doubt any of them actually exist. The only reason they are suggested is because the calculations of physicists do not match the observations. So rather than assuming their whole model is wrong, they made up dark matter and dark energy to justify their numbers. "Dark" here means impossible to detect. When you suggest there is some matter that is attracted by gravity but is impossible to detect or measure by any means, to me that is not a scientific theory, it's just speculation. I used to love Physics, but lately I no longer read much about it because it's all nonsense. Dark matter, string theory, multiverses... A lot of silly speculation and nothing of science.
