  1. Br. Manfred identified the language as Masana. "The Masana language (also called Masa or Massa) is a Chadic language spoken by roughly 200,000 to 350,000 people living in southern Chad and northern Cameroon, mostly near the Logone River and around towns like Yagoua and Bongor."
  2. All of these comments on recognizing Jesus reminded me of an old Country gospel song..."Would You Recognize Jesus" (I like the Statler Brothers version). The chorus says, "Would you recognize Jesus if you met him face to face Or would you wonder if he's just someone you couldn't place He may not be coming in a chariot of the Lord Jesus might be riding in a '49 Ford"...😁
  3. But the "1" is at the opposite end of the keyboard...sigh....🙃
  4. For those waiting, the code is 040 The broadcast should be available on JW.ORG in a few hours.
  5. I think with the exception of the Annual Meeting and Gilead Graduation recordings we have only had 2 Broadcasts hosted by GB members. November 2025 was Jeffrey Jackson and August 2025 we had M. Stephen Lett. So the chances are we will have a Helper. Although exactly a year ago we had Br. Lett. What do you think?
  6. Our GB update #5 explains a new feature use of the Jesus Videos in the coming service year...Yay...
  7. Thank you, that is what I said in the last line where I included the 8/26 date. It is available from WTL only at this moment.
  8. As we learned in the Sermon on the Mount, a person’s light in their body may really be great darkness. Mat 6:23…”But if your eye is envious, your whole body will be dark. If the light that is in you is really darkness, how great that darkness is!”
  9. These are the instructions for the Midweek Meeting. It tells how it is to be conducted, who may participate in each part, how long and so on. The current published S-38 is dated 9/25. You can download it in a variety of formats. The new WTL update yesterday provided a new version dated 8/26.
