I just tried it again, and it works for me. Using a Windows 10 computer. You have to hover over the actual box in order to type something. Hover over it with your cursor, then start typing a username.

by the way, JDJDJD, I wrote those instructions based on using a laptop computer, not a phone ...

click on the name of the group, and then on the right hand side, "Edit this group". Then you'll see a box at the bottom designated "invited users". You'll need then to type the names of the new users into the box.

Lamentations 3:22-23

The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,
For His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness. (NASB)

One should bear in mind, that Jeremiah made that statement in the midst of great suffering.

A belated congratulations! (Not just for the six million, but also for Ace Level 9.) It must have taken an intense amount of concentrations to type 256 verses in a row at 100 percent, especially since you're typing the verses fully and not using the first letter option. I pray you'll continue to be faithful to this site and grow every day in Jesus (a prayer that we all need).

I like it! I love Proverbs. I'd like to go through them all on this site, but there are already so many other verses. I pray you will be blessed in Him as you learn them!

That's a useful idea, Susan. Anyone learning your set would then get an overview of the entire book of Genesis.

To Jacques: that was a very unkind thing to say. And also, I would repeat what onfire said.

I wish to apologize for the double postings! I'm really very sorry about that ... I click post, and then nothings seems to be happening, so I click post again, and a double post results. I will concentrate on waiting longer in the future. I write this because I know that sometimes everything on the newsfeed can be distracting.

You're welcome rvfc2. I'll just share one more thing, if it's helpful to anyone. For verses 17, 18, and 19 of Romans 5, I use acronyms to memorize the first four words of each verse -- especially because the first four words were at first the ones I was most often getting wrong.

17 FIBT (I remember "fib", a white lie).
18 STAT (I remember "stat", as used in a hospital)
19 FATT (I remember "fat", a condition which afflicts many of us) (smile)

Using these has helped me with these verses a lot. However, these acronyms are specifically for the NASV ... if you're using the ESV, perhaps you'l have to make your own acronyms :)

It's very helpful to have an open discussion about this ... it has certainly helped me to improve the learning/memorization process.

joosep 2021-03-24 07:45

yes, good point, PeterP. In that scenario, if you score 100% on a verse, the progress might be only 4, 3, 2, or 1 percent, depending on that verse's proportional relationship with the weakest verse.

joosep posted a comment on rvfc2's activity

joosep 2021-03-24 05:47

I've done that too, onfire ... at first unintentionally, but then several times also intentionally, I mean, trying to reduce 75% down to 25% or something like that ... yes, it would be awesome if we could control the intervals "at will".

joosep 2021-03-24 05:01

I agree ... it is indeed effective. I'm going to make it my aim to do that more in the future, "prepping" the verses before adding them, by reading them aloud for several days.

Those five verses you've mentioned have also been problematic for me, rvfc2.

Thank you for that tip, as to reading commentaries on the verses themselves. Good idea!

One thing I tried was creating invididual verse sets, such as Romans 5:15-18, then perhaps Romans 5:16-19, Romans 5:17-20 (when you create "individual" verses for review, you can include up to four verses in that "individual" verse).

Using that method those five verses come up for my review more often.

The old fashioned method of simply reading them out loud every day for perhaps ten days in a row will also do the trick ... but do we have the patience to be so old fashioned these days? (I ask this pointing the finger squarely at myself)

I did this with Galatians 5. Before even adding them here at LS dot net, I read them aloud for ten days in a row. Then when I did add them, they just sailed along. Now that they are more mature, there are a few which are becoming a bit difficult, but I guess I'll just have to go back and read them aloud again, maybe for five days in a row this time ... I hope all this helps someone :)
