  1. I'm new to using program for public talks. On incoming speakers I have accepted requests and responded but on the incoming speakers page it still shows in orange awaiting your response as if I still needed to do it? Also on the outgoing talks page it shows the outgoing speaker in blue not green? Any tips are appreciated.
  2. We had 256 in attendance plus 30 on zoom. Publishers 137
  3. Big increases in many African countries. Congo,Mozambique,Zambia. Also Phillipines had a nice increase. Turkey had a decrease of 11%? Decreases in Cuba, Haiti and Ukraine. Many European countries plus USA had a small increase. The harvesting is still on!
  4. Our circuit here in Florida covers Bradenton, Riverview, Brandon areas. Our CO reports that at least 25 homes suffered some damage. 8 homes received major damage with some of those now unlivable. Just one sister in our congregation got several inches of water inside her home due to storm surge from a creek at the rear of her property. The island communities here have been devastated with many homes flooded from the storm surge. Not only water but sand from the beaches covered many of the roads and work crews currently working on removing this.
  5. Notice a big news story from Britain where many years ago people died from receiving infected blood. Blood transfusions have no 100% guarantees. Infected blood compensation payouts on the way (bbc.com)
  6. Trousers is the correct term to use in some countries like England where pants can refer to underwear. So you can get in trouble if you use the wrong term😀 Plus spelling error in picture!
  7. After I watched the broadcast yesterday morning I headed to the Kingdom Hall and ended up conducting the meeting for field service. I was wearing my tie. Nobody else had yet seen the broadcast but I encouraged them to watch it plus I mentioned the point about inviting disfellowshipped ones to the special talk and memorial. Just before I concluded a missionary couple on vacation from their assignment in Africa arrived and sat behind everybody else. I knew them and welcomed them. The brother had no tie and the sister was wearing dress slacks. Yes they had just watched the broadcast and quickly made a change. Here in Florida it can get quite hot in service so after a short time I dispensed with wearing my tie😀
  8. Nice.... Forwarded song to a few of our many newly bearded ones😀
  9. Quote Cricket!!!! I didn't know American's knew about cricket Originally from UK. Lived within walking distance of the county cricket ground of Leicestershire. When I had no money as a youngster i remember that you could get in free for the last 1/2 hour of a days play.😀
  10. I enjoy soccer, cricket and athletics. I try and keep up with the headlines in other sports i don't watch usually so that I can hold a conversation with someone who is more interested.
  11. In last years report 2 congregations were listed under palestinian territories. Could be in West Bank ?
  12. This system is fascinated by famous people and what is going on in their lives. We should avoid getting into that type of thinking. Serena is just another imperfect person that apparently wants to serve Jehovah. Avoid wanting to know everything that is going on in her life.
  13. Keeping active where possible can really help. I've got just over 2 years to make it to be a mighty man (80 years of age) I jog a 3 mile trail sround 3 times a week. Slow pace around 12 minute miles. Tripped and fell this weekend. Apart from a black eye, some scraped bruises and injured pride I didn't do any damage. I'll maybe take a week off! I've done over 130 runs this year and only the 1 accident. Financially live simply on social security.
  14. Margaret Keane, Painter of Sad-Eyed Waifs, Dies at 94 - The New York Times (nytimes.com) Here story was contained in the Awake, Famous for her paintings and the movie that was made of her life.
