Me & the wife visited New York in November, some of the highlights were: the Guggenheim we were talking to a stallholder outside who made us aware that it was pay as you like from 5pm that day which was a Saturday, so we paid a $ each !! the Met is a must visit & you can get a guided tour from brothers, Bronx zoo was free on a Wednesday yes we stayed in the Bronx !! Staten island ferry is free & a good way to take photos of the statue of Liberty, Times square was a good experience too, but i couldn't believe the extortionate rate the bicycle taxis were charging tourists, the 9/11 memorial pools are free to visit, the museum is nearby & very interesting, but expensive like everything else in New York, the Bethels at Warwick & Walkill & Paterson too now it's open to visit, if you can find a kindly brother or sister to take you like we did, we had a great time travelling by the subway & bus, and seen some characters too, try to visit a local congregation if you can also

The subway looks quite daunting, so many lines, it’s knowing where to change to get to the attractions re: getting to bethel, I had hoped it might be like the uk,where brothers organise tours to London bethel by coach including a couple of nights in a hotel. & brothers & sisters from a few congregations partake

The uncle isn’t

Myself & wife are holidaying in New York from the UK in early November & would appreciate any information from bro’s in NewYork regarding bethel tours, are there any organised by brothers in New York to Walkill & Warwick, we’re staying in the Bronx at my wife’s uncle’s place, we’ve found a local congregation to visit whilst we’re there, but would like information on trains, subway & cheap places to eat, maybe where local go, off the tourist trail & any free or discounted tickets for the likes of the holocaust museum, 9/11 memorial etc, as well as Walkill & Warwick

The screen mirroring is just a minor issue,it’s the android operating system with 2015 models that is a major issue. https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/android-tv/bd-p/Android_TV

I’ve got a Roku 3 box & it’s great,2 yrs ago I thought i’d Buy a smart tv, to replace my ageing plasma tv,I bought a Sony on the strength of seeing a sisters tv & thought the pic quality was great,it was a big mistake on my part,the browser is slow & it has android os which is so glitchy, crashes often, also doesn’t support my iPad for mirroring,if you decide on the smart tv route, avoid Sony at all cost

Still doesn't link into the references from the study bible unlike JW library which does

Received &thanks

It's a long shot,but has anyone got a PDF file of the book You Can Live Forever In Paradise on Earth ? looking to extract the pics on p 92/93 - the angelic sons of God noticed the daughters of men

Thanks again for all your replies,finally sorted,copied the image from the PDF & pasted into paint & saved as jpg

Thanks for the replies. rocket - i've taken the snapshot,but can't find clipboard in Windows 7 ,all i've got is something called clip organiser & all this lets me do is paste the image into a word doc,i copied the image using clipboard in adobe reader,but can't seem to do anything with it,it won't paste into photoshop pnutts - downloaded sumatra,i can copy the image,but can't paste it anywhere I'm fairly computer literate,but never tried saving PDF images before

Thanks for the info,i'll give it a go

I've tried unsuccessfully to extract images from our organization's publications either in PDF or on the Watchtower library,i would like to use the images in a public talk,but don't seem able to do so, is there a way of doing so,or is it just a matter of scanning the book & saving that way ?

Could I have the link please

The kingdom hall we use has a BenQ projector,i know of another cong also that uses the same projector,maybe installed before we got the letter,the previous kingdom hall we used had the new Panasonic one,the BenQ pic qual looks pretty good

Thanks Eric,tried that,but still crashes after selecting tel num of emergency contact (Iphone 5s running ios 8.3)

Great idea,but when i get to adding an emergency contact,it crashes after i access contact & select phone number

I'm not sure if the windows app is publicly available,it's on khconf wiki download page,may only be available to administrator for cong

Found it was windows update running that caused the crash

i've been watching it on jw broadcasting from my pc & it's crashed twice at around 45 mins

Never gave it a second thought, OKM meeting schedules start with Monday"s date,as does the study edition of the Watchtower,no big deal really

The paper copies of the March OKM are available from the congregation,I picked mine up last night

We had a letter a couple of weeks ago asking us not to attend the Malta convention,but Jersey instead (British channel islands)

Beleive me no mistake we're paying £1.20 ltr unleaded/£1.24 ltr diesel., a few months ago we were paying 10p litr more (prices in GBP) & 4.55 litres in a gallon, £5.46 =,$8.54 gallon. calculated roughly with the exchange rate from reuters.com (1 gbp£ =1.56 us$ )

Here in Britain we're paying equiv $1.87 ltr for unleaded petrol & $1.94 equiv for diesel at ASDA(Walmart) & we think that's fairly good to what we've been paying until now,aside that for every litre $0.94 equiv is made up of fuel tax plus 20% vat,Britain has the highest fuel prices in Europe,crude oil is at an all time low &opec seems to think that the oil producing saudi contries aren't looking to reduce production yet
