Has the number of participants in the emblems also decreased?

Just to clarify, the last part of the broadcast, where a particular country's report appears, is called a "Postcard" here in Brazil. I don't know if that's the English equivalent.

In the Postcard I noticed the siblings doing a slight dance while singing a song.

"The end is closer than you think" - by Daniel Sydlik.

It usually comes out on the third Tuesday of the month.

It's in Portuguese. Unfortunately, I won't be able to translate it at the moment.

I'm having trouble keeping up with the discussions here due to my limited time, and I don't know if this has already been discussed here, but there will be an answer to a question related to this topic in the February 2026 Watchtower: When will the declaration of peace and security be made?

Yes!

To admins: can I share the link here?

The first time this text impacted my life and feelings was when I heard it mentioned by Sister Magdalena Kusserow. She was in Brazil for a series of lectures connected with the Purple Triangles Exhibitions, while I was serving at Bethel. I had the privilege of being invited to accompany her from Bethel to the airport on her return home. In the van that took us to the airport, we heard many stories about what happened in the concentration camp, the reactions to the persecution, and how the sister felt today. Among many stories, when mentioning her brother Wilhelm, the first to die at the hands of the Nazis, she commented that her mother received the news calmly and said to her other children: "We need not worry. Now our Wilhelm is wrapped in the bag of life with Jehovah." I confess that I was moved by this expression of faith in the resurrection and realized later that her mother was referring to 1 Samuel 25:29. P.S.: I loved your archaeological reference. I'm a biblical archaeology enthusiast.

This news truly broke my heart. He was such a loving and dear brother, as demonstrated by his posts here on the forum. May Jehovah be with his wife, Gertie, and with all the family and friends who knew him. Now he is "wrapped securely in the bag of life with Jehovah." - 1 Sam. 25:29.

I'm happy it's also available in Portuguese. But I'm sad because it's veeeery expensive. It's going on my wish list for the day I can afford it. The book here is around US$101.68.
