  1. I really liked using the jwpub file with the King James Bible with Strong's numbers inline. It was added to my 'parallel' Bibles list and I used it at every meeting. My iPhone broke (no usable screen) and when I replaced it yesterday, I had to use an older IOS backup from the cloud. It loaded JW Library but not the library contents. I had to reload all of the material (including Bibles). The current JW Library just gives me an error when I try to put the KJV Bible with Strong's back in. I truly will miss it. It is still working on my iPad mini that I use at meetings.
  2. I have the printed literature to look at. I have the same literature in digital format. I usually peruse the information in a search manner. For instance, I might hear a comment about a clarification of belief concerning Jude verse 7..."In the same manner, Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah and the cities around them also gave themselves over to gross sexual immorality and pursued unnatural fleshly desires; they are placed before us as a warning example by undergoing the judicial punishment of everlasting fire." I will try to remember what our belief about this scripture was when I first began to study. Then I will check the number of times we have adjusted that thought and when. Then I will look up the latest understanding and compare them. It is my version of 'research, study, meditate and relearn'...♥️ Whether I use the digital or printed material does not usually change the manner of search. The digital material usually only goes back to 1950 or less. I have the printed versions in electronic PDF files so I can use my computer. Our Index shows research back to 1930.
  3. We are not in membership competition with Satan's 'paramours' (I haven't used that word in years). It is just nice that someone noticed us. We are not just that little church at the edge of your town...😁
  4. They are part of the 20+ million at the Memorial each year. Maybe candidates for the call after BTG is destroyed?
  5. I am not sure of the question. The Windows app store shows the NWP for download.
  6. This doesn't answer your question, but you can sometimes 'batch' download a bunch of 'updates'. In the JW Library, go to <library>, click on <books>, and look at the top menu bar. Does it say "pending updates"? If it does, click on the <pending updates> selection an when it opens, there should be the 'cloud' or 'hamburger' or whatever you call the download icon. If you select that, it will show all of the things waiting for download and begin installing them. If there are a lot, make sure you have room for them.
  7. It sounds reasonable. If you could find one with 256 GB data storage, I would feel better. If the price is good, the specs are acceptable.
  8. Except for Gilead Graduations and Annual Meetings, the regular broadcasts were removed.
  9. If you go back to the 2022 beginning of the Special thread on the announcement of our beginning of filming in Australia, Br Tony (from Australia) said in Mary 2022... Posted May 25, 2022 "To answer some of the above questions. I'm sure it was mentioned in Sydney there are 18 (approx 55min) Episodes. It is a 7.5 year project. " 2022 = 7 1/2 years is 2029. The posting is on top of page 2
  10. The first six episodes have a running time of about 230 minutes. That averages about 35-40 minutes each. It is about 1/4 of the "about 1000 minutes" that the GB said the videos would cover. The prep work...set/scene building, script writing, storyboards, interviews, props, costumes and so on, took 3 years. The initial years were 'Covid-years'. Now that we are up and running, we have turned out 6 finished videos in the next 3 years and it looks like that includes 1 or 2 unfinished ones.
  11. I took a brief moment to do a basic search also. The original announcement in the 2020 Annual Meeting did not state any particular time frame. The annual meeting segment is on our video presentation (JW.ORG). I have two updates that did not contain any times either but I am listing them because I do not want to lose them. I will continue the search at your request but it will take time. I have already searched through all of 2019 videos and publications before I discovered it started in 2020. There are a lot of publications and videos to look through (could even be letters to the elders). If this is not really important to you, I will stop. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/VODPgmEvtAnnMtg/pub-jwb-097_7_VIDEO https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/VODPgmEvtAnnMtg/pub-jwb_202102_5_VIDEO
  12. I can look it up, but it was in the Broadcast when the outlined the scope of the work and told us it was going to be 18 episodes. I do not have the tim to give you the link right away. If no one else comes up with the reference, I will look it up this weekend.
  13. We got one episode the first year, then two episodes, and now three episodes in a single year. We have heard that episode 8 (and maybe 9) are well underway and nearing completion. So we might expect three video sections next year as well. If that was true, we would be halfway through the series in four years. If the kept up three per year, we could possibly finish in another three years after next. Starting in 2024, the total of 7 years would take us to2030. Originally the project was to be completed by 2029. So maybe it will.
