I used live captions on my iPad, and ran it through ChatGPT to try and match the lines spoken to their appropriate verses (feel free to point out any inaccuracies) Do you have faith that I can do this? - Yes, Lord. (Mt 9:28) My little daughter is extremely ill. Please, come. (Mark 5:23) Have mercy on me, Lord. Son of David. (Mt 15:22) Who are men saying the son of Man is? - Some say John the Baptist. Others, Elijah. You, though. Who do you say I am? - You are the Christ. The son of the living God. (Mt 16:13-16) Do not think I came to bring peace to the earth… - (you need to leave this place) …I came to bring, not peace, But a sword. (Mt 10:34) Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Whose father and mother we know. (John 6:42) I chose you, 12. Yet one of you is a slanderer. (John 6:70) Get behind me, Satan. (Mt. 16:23, Mr 8:33) What have I to do with you? Jesus! Son of the most high God! (Mr 5:7) Have no fear. Only exercise faith. (Mr 5:36)

Yes I put their photos up: https://jwtalk.net/topic/62070-did-we-see-matthew-and-john-already-gnj/?do=findComment&comment=1095730 we actually did see eight of the twelve by the end of episode 2

oh and yet another interesting note for those in the EU, thanks to government regulation, people there can actually join whatsapp groups without having a whatsapp account. Thanks to mandated interoperability, apps like Haiket can connect to the billions of people on the WA network without the user needing an account with WA.

Apple and Google today, after collaborating with wireless carriers, have released encrypted text messaging to the public in the form of RCS (I think it’s universal profile 3.0) https://www.engadget.com/2170011/ios-end-to-end-encrypted-rcs-messaging-begins-rolling-out-today-in-beta/ i know many people already use whatsapp🤢 and Signal🤩 but for those who still have some friends they still do carrier texting with, encryption ensures that only you and the other party can read the message: without it, your carrier can read everything you send and receive (on a related note, whatsapp will soon be releasing a feature, similar to what Signal and Telegam offer, which allows you to keep your phone number private from the people you message, by introducing usernames)

You should definitely ask them how they did it. I'm sure we'd all like to know!

When did they do that? seems strange

I was very curious, but I don’t want to make an exorbitant amount of effort for you

I searched for “2029” on JW.org because the website search now includes searching the transcripts of videos, but no results.

I don’t recall that. Do you have a source?

Are these episodes going to be just a couple per year, shown at every convention, for the next 6 years (or 13 years if we include Acts of Apostles at 15 episodes) is there a chance the production might speed up, or is this just literally the fasted our organization can get them done?

@Jonathan1 I have a cellular Apple Watch and never carry a phone anymore, so I’d love that!

Could you try switching it to windowed? I think it might make the difference.

@jwhesswhich multitasking mode do you have on? Classic (full screen), windowed, or stage manager?

The iPad has to be “upside down” when the app first launches. Try force quitting JW library first, then turn iPad “upside down” (with camera at bottom), and launch the app from this orientation.

update I think it may be because I tend to use my iPad “upside down” portrait (even though there is technically no real upside down…) there is no home button, only volume and a power button along the one short edge. I suppose most use it with the power button at top but I prefer the power button at bottom because it’s easier to reach for Touch ID authentication and volume - I never have to reach to access those. Even though I discovered the “problem” it should still be fixed, no? I wonder, should I email jwlibrary@jw.org or would they not bother fixing it? (this is the email on our official app listing on google play; it seems to be the same email for all platforms, I assume)
