The host can never hear the problem. Its the audience. New suggestion is 480 when using VideoConference; 720 at the KH. All songs have been downloaded locally. All A/V brothers have great bandwidth and we have all had the issue no matter who is sharing the video. Doesn't matter if we switch mono/stereo; via Zoom Video Share or VLC/JWL... So frustrating. None of the friends have complained, but we all can hear it.

Update didn't help with the crackling/popping during the songs. Per recent Zoom instructions, (Media Playing Guidance / Form S-144) we played in 480p, and still had issues. Time to write to Zoom.

Has anyone had issues with "popping/crackling" while playing the songs? We have started having that issue with all brothers on our A/V crew. We have also shared in the Zoom app, and JW Library; we have tried Audio Mono & Stereo, and still the issue persists.

If not appropriate, I understand. I was just thinking that every little bit helps in these weird economic times. Emergen-C is providing up to $175 in gift cards to various retailers. You can sign up here and view more details: https://rfer.al/LIZvLWqVn

My wife and I had the privilege of attending the International Convention in Seoul South Korea. Below is a link to the video we created. Enjoy! Http://www.vimeo.com/missymoments/seoul2019

I noticed last week, that the link (https://www.jw.org/download/?fileformat=MP4&output=html&pub=jwb&issue=201806&langwritten=e) is not working or showing anything like it did last week with the broadcast. Anyone have a new link?

Thanks everyone for your support. We now are at 311 votes.

My wife and I are applying for a 6 month job in Cancun, Mexico where we would basically be paid to be tourists plus we'll have the opportunity to experience the spiritual aspects in that area. (We miss serving where the need is great in Costa Rica and generally living in a foreign land.) We entered yesterday and now need help with your votes. You can vote once per day until Dec 24th. (Click https://ceo.cancun.com/profile/melissa-long to vote.) Feel free to share. THANK YOU! P.S. Apologies if this isn't in the right forum.

Hi Greg. Correct. If you were wanting to travel between August 30th and October 15th, we would begin searching now for 3 months (or until you purchase a ticket.) We have seen several good deals on Qantas lately...

Apologies if this is the wrong forum... My wife and I have had our site, SKYPAK Travel, running for a while now, but have added a few new services. Flight Alerts - We monitor the destinations you are interested in traveling to as well as alert you to destinations that have dropped significantly. We have helped many brothers travel for very cheap (I.E. New York - South Africa for $330; Los Angeles - Costa Rica for $180) Travel Planning - Many brothers & sisters do not want to do all of the research for their vacation. Because of our experience in literally flying around the world, we will do the research on your destinations. SKYPAK TV - With our Youtube channel, we will be sharing what you need to know about various destinations in 2 minutes or less. Our first video is on Costa Rica, and can be seen here.

Here in Central America we have a special Zone visit when the Special Talk is scheduled. Seems weird to have it scheduled for the date the Special Talk is. Also, at our Convention, the new book on Jesus was not released in Spanish. Instead, we were told it will come out when the new bible is released in spanish.

New update?

Here is one I came up with for a talk I give, "As humans, we don’t really understand forever. So let’s use smaller numbers. Like million. How long is a million seconds? Its only 12 days. How about a billion seconds? 32 years. How about a trillion seconds? 32,000 years. Currently, the United States is eighteen trillion dollars. So if we were to count out one dollar per second, it would take over five hundred seventy six thousand years. After all of that counting, how much of forever have we used? None. We can’t touch forever. We will be chasing forever, forever."
