  1. No I haven't. It would be the May/June issue if they were dated.
  2. Well, it started at the beginning with the angels announcing Jesus' birth...💗
  3. The new public Watchtower is in the middle of a year and the new public Awake is at the end of the year. Here is our magazine offers for this year 2024. MAGAZINES FEATURED FOR 2024 January and February Watchtower #2 – 2021 “Better World Is Near” March and April Awake #1 – 2019 “Feel Safe and Secure” May and June Watchtower #1 – 2020 “The Search For Truth” July and August Watchtower #1 – 2024 (Topic) Morality September – October Awake #3 – 2018 Help For Those Who Grieve November – December Awake #1 – 2024 (Topic) Respect
  4. I am getting used to the change in dress. It took me about 3 months to get used to the beards so I can imaginge that I will feel mostly comfortable with the new style before the start of the next service year. Forward be our watchword. It is the 'old' song title. "...steps and voices joined; Seek the things before us, not a look behind....
  5. Our chairman for the midweek meeting last night had grown a beard but he shaved it off a couple of weeks ago. His 20 year-old son grew a beard at the same time. It looks nice. the son had a student part on the program last night and his dad was his counselor. One part of counsel was "facial expressions". His father said he did well but we all had a little trouble identifying the expressions under the hair...😀
  6. The book "Commentary on James" has been removed from our publications. It is not available in any library (on disk or online or in app). It is associated with past problems and is no longer available unless you personally have an old copy.
  7. In 1920 our organization prepared a small training manual (booklet) for parents to use with their small children. It was called the "Golden Age ABC". On the left page were 2 letters with a half-page story for each. Then on the right hand side were 2 pictures that illustrated the letters. The pictures were copies of some of the slides from the PhotoDrama of Creation. I have included the inside front page which asks parents to train their children.
  8. I realize you are not a Windows user. I use a Windows short-cut to engage the color filter in "reverse color" mode. I set the color filter in settings and then just key in <ctl>+<Win key>+C and the colors go to dark mode in WOL. But I am unaware of any Android setting to make it happen. Sorry.
  9. By the time we are hiding in basements or attics the money will be thrown in the streets. We will all be equals in value regardless of previous economics. But Jesus emphasized how hard it is for those with money and possessions to let go. Rich Young Ruler, Camel thru the needles eye, Remember the wife of Lot and so on...💗 One of my most favorite scriptures is Luke 12:15...“...because even when a person has an abundance, his life does not result from the things he possesses."
  10. It was announced that the song would be released on April 15th. EDIT: sorry I just saw that Sr. Sophia already said that,
  11. The temperature dropped almost 10 degrees when the sun was blocked. We have a regular share of tornado warnings in a year and the sky got that "greenish" shade in our yard when the sun was obscured. We had a breeze and it got cool when the sky darkened.
  12. Number 2 was about the middle of March so the next one should be about the first of May. They are separated by about 6 weeks.
  13. This is from my granddaughter's phone. Our totality lasted about 30 seconds.
  14. We were fortunate enough to be in the path of totality. Three of our families and two guests got together for lunch and watched the event from first indication through totality. We got to see the "diamond ring" feature and it is now halfway back to regular light. Very amazing feture of Jehovah's creation...💗
