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

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.

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

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.

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.

What OS? What version OS? What version JWL? What device or tablet? What age tablet? It all makes a difference...♥️

I tried it in Windows 11 with JW Library version 15.8.56 and it works OK. I tried the Study bible, the NWT, the 1984 Ref Bible (all in English) and I tried the Spanish Study Bible and NWT...an they all worked fine.

That was mentioned in our former belief of a "spiritual Courtyard of the Gentiles". Continuing from the transcript... 2.6. Courtyard of the Gentiles But the various chambers and courtyards do not all have a symbolic meaning. For example, in Herod’s temple, there was a courtyard of the Gentiles. In Solomon’s nor in Zerubbabel’s temples there was not such a courtyard. Anyone could enter the Court of Gentiles in Herod’s temple. The Watchtower of 2002, May 1, page 30, gives five reasons why there is not “a spiritual equivalent, or an antitype, of the Court of Gentiles that existed in Jesus’ day.” It said: “Not all features of Herod’s temple have an antitype in Jehovah’s great spiritual temple.” But as the heavenly elder said to John, the great crowd really is in the temple, not outside the temple area in a kind of spiritual Court of the Gentiles.” 2.10. Application of temple depends on context …we all are in the spiritual temple no matter what hope we entertain,

Here is the second sentence in his talk. The section is titled...Are there only Anointed Christian in the spiritual temple?... "Here’s a question: True or false? Since in Bible times the temple arrangement was closely connected with the priests, today the ones in the spiritual temple are only the anointed Christians. Answer: false." A later section is entitled...Who serves in the spiritual temple?... "Next point: Do only the anointed serve in the spiritual temple? What do you think? No. The great crowd also serve in the temple. They are shown in vision at Revelation 7:15 as “rendering him [holy] service day and night [and then it says] in his temple.” So, what does that mean? They are included in this arrangement of worship. Revelation 7:15 says literally: “That is why they are before the throne of God, and they are rendering him sacred service day and night in his temple.” So the great crowd is “in [the] temple.” Then it continues: “And the One seated on the throne will spread his tent over them.” They do not need to be in heaven in order to be in his temple." We have not yet received any of the material from the 2025 Annual Meeting in print form in the Watchtower. So it can't be listed in the 'beliefs clarified' section of the Index. We have received the July 2026 Watchtower already so keep an eye peeled for August or September issues...♥️ NOTE: you can always go back over the printed transcript (or watch the video again). I have done both 3 times.

It fits with the explanation that (according to Revelation) we are serving God "in the Temple" according to Br. Losch's discussion in the Annual Meeting.

Best guess

On the Mini I run classic.

Well, Brandon. I tried the force quitting first, turning with camera at bottom and then launching the app. All good. Then I tried the same sequence (force quitting, etc) in all the other positions and then launching the app. All good. Then I tried shutting the tablet down (physically off) and used all positions and then relaunched the app. All good. Then I tried the same sequence (force quitting, etc) in all positions with and without 'dark mode' and then launching the app. All good. I don't know what to say, sorry.

I use iPadOS 26.4.2 and I have an iPad Mini 5th generation. When I open JW Library (version 15.8 [842584]) on this device, all of my icons are in a row with their descriptions right beside them. I checked in all positions of the screen and the icons rotated correctly in all places.

You could try updating the JW Library to 15.8 My Windows version is 15.8.86
