Something that has always been very interesting to me is the fact that many new ones in the truth have no idea of the many things we should or shouldn't do and which are considered "basic truths" for people who grew up in the truth or are around for decades. For example: toasting isn't considered in the Bible study. I can imagine an exemplary brother, just baptized a few years ago, having no idea at all about this point and just participating in it. Somehow, it already wasn't important enough to make a "dogma" out of it: so important to teach new ones. Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

I love this update[emoji3590] Not because all of a sudden, we are "allowed" (even if that's how you want to call it..) to toast, but because the very simple reasoning is clear and based on principles. The organization is maturing more and more, and it teaches us to mature with it by really thinking in principles, using our God-given thinking ability. Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

Tried to look up what language is added, but I failed[emoji28] Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

Thank you so much[emoji847] Isn't it interesting that some languages are added to the list, but not one publication is available? Why list them? Does someone have an idea why the organization does this? Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

Does someone know which language was added?[emoji28] Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

It is interesting to see these prices haha, especially from the US. At this moment in the Netherlands I'll pay around €1.90 per liter. That's around $7.42 per gallon. (And this is for the equivalent of the US "87" gas.) I really hope prices will drop!🥲 Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

This problem began when my Google Chrome application had an update. So I don't know what changed but it is annoying haha..[emoji28] Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

Thanks! But the problem remains the same.. only about 20 of the languages are visible, and the page glitches. Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

Hi friends, Since a few days the language list on jw.org doesn't load anymore. It shows only half of the width of the list and many times I can't scroll down. And when I'm able to scroll down, languages will stop appearing and the list is white as snow[emoji28] Does someone know how to fix it? This what I get: Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

Just a heads up for Mozambique. Their average number of publishers was 91.988. The number of baptisms: 10.755!🫨 That means that in every congregation, there is approximately one tenth newly baptized ones. Just doing some math: there are 1942 congregations. That means: 91988:1942= around 47 publishers per congregation. Of this 47, 4 or 5 are newly baptized ones! That is just amazing. All praise to Jah![emoji3059] Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

A very encouraging fact to think about is the number of congregations in countries under ban: it went up by 81 congregations! An increase in publishers of 1.4%... Around 48.000 pioneers serve there... Of course, the majority of these friends are in Russia. But let's not forget the ones in the other 32 countries where they serve under ban. Their example of endurance makes a deep impression on all of us[emoji3590] Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

Hahaha incha' yahwah And Yahwah yecha' (wants), so it will happen[emoji12] Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

It's there, but just not in the main list [All items]. If you go to "Books and Brochures" and then change "All items" to "2024 Service Year Report of Jehovah's Witnesses Worldwide", you'll find it under "Books and Brochures". Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

That could be, of course, but it wouldn't be the first time that a small mistake was published in the report. If I'm not mistaken, last year or the year before, there was a mistake on the report of Zambia or Zimbabwe. The brothers solved it and updated the report in a week or so[emoji28] Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

Wauw, nice catch! I think you do see things that should not be there, the [-][emoji12] Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

Kiribati: 41% increase! What happened there!? 2023 service year, their number of baptism candidates was 0. The 2024 service year 29! That is great!![emoji7] Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

Sudan, a 73% decrease. The civil war there is terrible[emoji45] The number of congregations dropped from 13 last year to just 3 this year. Memorial attendance dropped from around 2500 last year to 42 this year. They need our constant prayers! (Jehovah is providing for them. From not so long ago, they receive every month their Watchtower in their spoken Arabic dialect. For the Arabic field, that is groundbreaking!![emoji3059]) Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

Türkiye has a big decrease indeed. It is a country where many need-greaters go. But sadly, in the last few years, the government made it more difficult for foreigners to stay. So, many foreign need-greaters had to leave the country[emoji853] Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

We had a service weekend a few weeks ago ( I don't know if you call it like this in English, though[emoji28]). So a brother and his wife from the branch visited our congregation. He gave a beautiful additional talk. It really helped me to appreciate Jehovahs organization more and what it does to reach people from all backgrounds. One thing he mentioned was that at that moment, there were 1097 languages online. But that the GB gave already approval to around 100 additional languages to be published, and they are in the process of being added. We are truly witnesses of a modern-day miracle![emoji3590] Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

It says like.. but it's not as in "like"[emoji28] the Dutch and Arabic one were also a little later than normal.. don't know why[emoji2371] Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

Haha same here... I was thinking about Bhutan. It was quite recently listed in the report, just for one year and then removed.. Maybe its back..[emoji28] Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=702024230&srcid=share Beautiful article! Something I noticed directly was the first sentence. That we participated in 240 lands. Last worldwide report said we were active in 239 lands. So, which one should it be.....?[emoji1] Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk

And to keep in mind is the fact that not all diplomas are distributed publicly on the website. This time also, you can still see around 4 or 5 envelopes sitting in the box while the last couple received their diplomas in the video. Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-S911B met Tapatalk
