  1. Another brother on the forums sent me this bit of insight: This article reveals where the FIFA World Cup final will be played. It doesn't look like much just seeing the picture of the stadium the article uses, but zoom into the photo and see what's on the screens! 2026 World Cup final will be played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey
  2. Yeah. We were looking at the same date, but for a different reason. We had our Regional Convention the last weekend of May, and we need a space to have a review of it. But now you just messed up our guesswork.
  3. Yeah. The end of an era, and now it looks so plain and uninteresting.
  4. He's a very good analytical thinker. I like his talks because they reflect that. Since I live in Montreal, where Brother Splane served as Circuit Overseer in French, there are plenty of brothers and sisters here knew him back in those days (I don't know what year...). All of them have fond memories of him. No one was surprised when he was appointed to the Governing Body; they could see it coming. It was only a matter of time.
  5. Greetings to all our Aussie friends!!! (See the postcard at the end of the Broadcast!)
  6. Programmers may be very talented to make programs do what they want. Some of them are quite brilliant. But these programmers are still imperfect, like all other human beings. So can we expect their creations to be any better? Congratulations on your first post, @Trese! You may have been around here with us for a year and a half already, but you finally said something to us! Welcome to JWTalk!
  7. A new song is unlikely in a Gilead graduation, unless a few of them get together to sing one in The Inside Story. But we haven't had one like that for quite some time. However we'll probably get a picture postcard from somewhere.
  8. I have had a physical copy of Walk Courageously With God ordered for quite some time. But I haven't seen or heard anything about it.
  9. It's time for me to take a break from JWTalk for just a bit. We have our Regional Convention starting tomorrow! For those of us confined to watching the convention on a screen (rather than in person), at least they give us a choice of watching the recorded version from the US, or the live streamed version of our own convention (with the local brothers doing the parts). Because of the convention, I likely won't have time to peek in here at all.

     

    So, enjoy the weekend everyone!

      bonne assemblée

      Good meeting, indeed. Though it sounds a bit bland in English

       

      It sounds divine in French. What a enchanting language!

  10. Wrong link? This one goes to one of my email addresses.
  11. It sounds like a local thing. I have never had a volume problem in any of the meetings I have tied into. It all sounds good (unless the brothers forget to turn on the sound altogether).
  12. Yes, I still have the hard copies of the bound volumes, starting about 1950. (I inherited them from the very first Witness that I ever spoke to.) Once in a while I dig out a volume, just at random, and find an article I want to read. It's quite an uplifting feeling doing that.
  13. We had a heatwave yesterday; at about 4 PM it got as high as 93°F (34F), including the humidex. Now it's a much more comfortable 70F (21C). No thunderstorms in sight though.

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    I was visited during a tract campaign in 1974. I spent the next 11 years studying on and off, with three different brothers, before finally accepting the fact that this is where I belong.

  • My favorite quotes
    If you can count the number of times you have prayed today, then you haven't prayed enough.

    The reasons some brothers and sisters give for not being at the meetings are the very reasons they should be there.

    We need to be at the meetings to "incite to love and fine works."—Hebrews 10:24. But how can you incite if you're not in sight?

    When one flees temptation, one should never leave a forwarding address.

    Never forget what Jehovah remembers, and never remember what Jehovah forgets.

    Life can be understood by looking back but it must be lived by looking ahead.

    If Satan keeps reminding you of your past, just remind him of his future.

    Man says, "Show me and I will trust you." Jehovah says, "TRUST ME AND I WILL SHOW YOU."

    Let the Mind of your Master be the Master of your mind.
