Think mentally I could be sick 

Okay, got my program printed out. Pens, water, bible at the ready. Music starts in ten minutes! 
I’m off to the assembly!

This is a poem a sister in my congregation  received from a sister in Colorado:
 
I dreamed that I prayed to Jehovah on high
Complained of my troubles and started to cry
I said to Jehovah, “I can’t take anymore!
Please bring it real soon, your great day of war.”
 
I endure every day at the end of my rope,
I just do not see any way I can cope.
I face constant pressure each day, there’s no doubt.
With all of my problems-there’s just no way out.
 
He patiently listened, as if on bended knee,
I griped and complained about what bothered me. 
His loving concern as I emptied my head, 
Made me feel so secure in his love when he said:
 
“I understand just what you’re going through. 
This time of the end makes it quite hard for you.
I, too, you can see, have been waiting so long,
But I must be sure my people are strong.
 
Since the very first couple, Adam and Eve, 
My heart, many times, has been made to grieve, 
I sent my dear son to teach and to die, 
But most people reject what is life could buy.
 
I’ve been pushed aside by those that I love. 
Many false gods they have put high above. 
They proclaim that I don’t exist or am dead, 
That man just evolved from a monkey instead.
 
You need to endure, but please have no doubt,
If it gets too tough, I’ll provide the way out.
The New World’s so near, endure to the end.
I am Jehovah and I am your friend.

Maybe someone have and could share the MP3 folder with all songs in piano from songbook "Sing Praises to Jehovah"? Thanks in advance!

Positive for pneumonia effective 4/3 -Friday
Negative for Covid -hosp called me today.. 
I better get busy on taxes, pronto, even though this pneumonia has me wiped out. 

Devastated. Losing my job tomorrow/next week because of Covid. No cruises leaving, just need to get people off the ships.

It's finally finished!  The Collaborative Reading for this year's Memorial readings.  The link is in the thread: 
 
 

Thinking about doing a group livestream here via Skype.

My son got a visit in Ghent (Belgium) !!! Someone of our brothers gave him a magazine today while in a "ship to ship" ministry in Ghent's harbor. He was surprised and impressed as he said. Hope it will lead to something... I would like to say special thanks to those of you, my dear friends who make efforts to learn russian. ❤

I think I have a R.O.U.S. in  my bedroom wall!!! I've never heard such noise!!

Nice picture!

We do have a new CO, and I really click with him, his sense of humor is outstanding ..what a wonderful and very loving brother, never experienced such a "loving personality" ...you just want to hug him. (Aussie brothers: Do you know W.Saba?)

My dog, Cooper, passed away today.  I’m devastated.

I'm retiring tonight.  
 
I've been a volunteer with our local fire department for 45 years.
It's time to retire.  
 
My body has been holding up great until this past year.
Plus, the new firefighters on our department can't seem to speak in 
complete sentences unless they insert the 'f' word. *eye roll*
And I don't enjoy being in that environment.  
 
We have our annual firefighter appreciation banquet in two hours 
and I intend to announce my physical retirement then.   
In my heart I will always remain a firefighter.  

The smoke haze and acrid smell in Melbourne is the worst so far. It wasn't easy out witnessing with all that smoke. Those fires are epic.

One year closer to Jehovah's new world!
Our deepest of gratitude for the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ, your dear Son and our King.
Thank you for the Faithful and Discreet Slave to keep us "nourished."
Thank you Heavenly Father for our spiritual paradise and united brotherhood!
Praises be to the One True God above earth and in heaven!!
 

Hurting tonight. My brother, who is 3 years younger than me, is in hospital and not doing well. My Sis-in-law has been texting me. We have many feelings that are similar. I never knew. Many raw feelings because of my sister who has included herself. She has mental illness and makes life crazy. Pray for me please. It's not good.

Happy Announcement!
We have a new elder here on JWtalk!
Brother Seth, @Paa Yaw, was appointed as an elder. 
Here below is the link to his profile page where you can leave him an encouraging message or you can give him some encouraging words here, thanks!

A couple of friends are getting baptized soon, I'm trying to find some congratulations/do your best Bible verse for that. If you guys have ideas  

"Everything that he has is in your hand"

"Make friends for yourselves by means of the unrighteous riches, so that when such fail, they may receive you into the everlasting dwelling places"

"Commit to Jehovah whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."

"Love will move us to avoid any discrimination based on education, race, or social status. Indeed, impartiality needs to be more than a veneer. It must be a genuine part of our personality."

"Present yourself approved to God."

"Prove yourselves cautious as serpents and yet innocent as doves."
