Oh, man! That brings back memories. When I was very young, I went to the meeting without a suit jacket, because I had no parts on the meeting that evening. Then, the chairman called on me to give the concluding prayer. 😳 Talk about rushing around looking for a suit jacket to borrow! Never did that again. I learned my lesson!

What about those of us with shiny-headedness or smooth-headedness? 🤪

That used to be my favorite! But, other ones have been competing for that top spot. 🙃 Give Me Courage is one of my favorites for a large gathering. Let it thunder! How about the ultra moving How Does it Make You Feel? Some other favorites of mine, not necessarily for large groups: Gaining Jehovah's Friendship He Will Make You Strong Preparing to Preach Interesting that your signature sounds very familiar. 🧐 😁

Exactly. I would say most of the statistics, especially in the early days, where one reportedly "died from refusal of blood transfusion," were simply because they received no treatment at all. Doctors refused to do anything, and even went as far as refusing to allow the patient go to another hospital that would operate. I find it very unfair and dishonest for medical professionals and the media to make such claims when it cannot be stated with absolute certainty. It was used as a copout and a way to place the blame on Jehovah's people, just like you said. Thankfully, this scenario is less common today as the medical profession is more educated on these matters. But, still, even today most people still believe blood is "life-saving." I know of a faithful witness couple in our circuit who had to "abduct" their own child from a hospital that refused to provide treatment to take him to another one. As is usually the case, the hospital had the police get involved. This happened decades ago and the incident still leaves chills when the story is told.

Awesome! 😆😜 Interesting point in article posted above:

Oops! As someone who spent years in book bindery and trimming (not bethel), I’ve done a few like that. It happens.

That reminds me of a similar one: Be fired with enthusiasm or you will be fired with enthusiasm.

Nooooooooooo! It’s okay, I’m an adult now and haven’t had one in years. I’m surprised no one mentioned this one, yet. Telephone poles and power lines I’m a strong believer that we will be able to safely harness the power of electricity (and other power sources), but not excessively, and not in a way that mars the beautiful landscape Jehovah has provided.

How fitting it is that it’s written right next to the sewer access.

And, they all have beards! <ducks>

That’s just page 11 of the volume?! By the time I finish reading it, I will have forgotten the first half. Jehovah help me if I ever desire to marry.

Okay, so I’m slow (because of the coronavirus!) I’m missing the punchline or joke here. 🤷‍♂️ I’m embarrassed, because it appears so many others got it!

Not only that, if the brothers calculated a specific run based on perceived demand, they could end up with a surplus of unused supplies if we decided to make copies for others ourselves, thinking we were “helping out.”

I wouldn’t know exactly what our brothers are using, but there are a number of small router boards available that run Open Source Software, like openwrt, that offer the ability to stream or access data off a USB drive. Many are like development boards designed with prototyping in mind. Programming them is not for the faint of heart. Here’s one on eBay with a similar form factor and port layout: Smaknâ Som9331 OpenWrt Ar9331 WiFi Module: https://www.ebay.com/p/5014425330 ESPRESSObin sells a similar device with openwrt software that can act as a multimedia server, among other features. The form factor is slightly different. Marvell ESPRESSObin: http://espressobin.net
