Is it possible to get a list of the instruments used in Song 33 - Vocals: throw your burden on Jehovah. Btw, I was thinking I heard Ukulele? I just love the arrangement and curious about the instruments that made up the song. I mean the vocals edition not the meeting edition. thanks

ok. thanks.

Have you noticed when scrolling through the annual report 2026 on a mobile device, when you've sufficiently gone to the countries further down , you no longer know what the columns mean? Then you have to scroll to the beginning for column lookup and scroll back down and scroll horizontally on same country, and then have to go up and down for column reference? Would it be possible to write the developers that a feature like View > Freeze Panes > Freeze the Top Row on Spreadsheets like Excel would be nice for accessibility, especially for older brothers and sisters who live at the bottom of the countries view like Tuvalu, Ukraine, Venezuela? Maybe someone can help me give them a short, nice note about how important that feature is on mobile. Thanks

Thanks. I was thinking that was the instruction some years ago, but I wanted to be double sure so as not to be acting on my own opinion. I will draft the letter to the Ivorien branch before the weekend. Thanks for the reference.

ok. That means if I need areas with need there, I need to write the ivoirien branch. I will consult with my CO when he visits. thanks.

@Dages please I'd like you to advice me. I've been making adjustments to my schedule and work. I think am ready to relocate to a french country in my West African region. Am considering Benin republic or Cote d'Ivoire. But I think the suggestion from the slave is to write first to the branch if one decides to undertake such an adventure. First, am a pioneer, so I'd be killing two birds with one stone - work in a foreign field while expanding my ministry and learn the local culture and language of a french speaking territory so I can possibly be of use to that field in my home country, Nigeria. I asked my secretary in my congregation if he's aware of any suggestion or direction from the slave about a move like this, but he said he'll check. He's not responded to me. But am positive there is direction on this. Are you aware, or is anyone aware? Am totally going on my own expenses. Not going to be a burden in any way to the organization, but since I don't know anything about these area, I think I'd need help. Do you know of any direction? Thanks and good morning. It's 2:55 am here in Lagos, Nigeria.

yeah. thanks. nice day

yes. joining them completely would solve all the problems. I would have to consider that by relocating. Maybe it would have to be the next 1-2 years project while I hand over at my present cong. thanks

their meetings are sunday evenings. those times I would be resting after field or having elders meeting.

about some 30 minutes drive but am an elder and it would be difficult joining the group. that's the problem.

I live in Nigeria and have been learning French for more than 10 years now. I can say I am adept at it—I can listen to congregation meetings on stream and radio broadcasts on the internet with it. I can also write online with it with the help of a language tool. I want to go further to help others who speak French learn the truth. But I found that in my territory I can hardly find anyone who wants a bible study in the language. Can anyone give me suggestions, maybe based on someone's experience or from one of our articles, on how one can use the internet and social media to teach others the truth? I am asking because I know that online many people hardly want to discuss spiritual things unless you have approached them physically on the ground. I don't know. If others can share their experiences with me, what worked for them, and what I can do so that evenings while not working I can reach out to French-speaking people online and spend like an hour or two preaching or teaching online. please if this is the wrong forum, can the mods push it to the right place? didn't know where to ask this. thanks. with love

How you make your arrangements in Spain is how we do ours in Nigeria, too. << I don't understand either why it takes so long in Nnaemeka's congregation.>> Thanks for bringing this up. The principle of being slow to speak and quick to listen comes here. Our congregation doesn't have a KH, and the branch is making arrangements for one for us. But because of the recent inflation, which rose steeply, everyone was trying to catch their breath, and everything had to go slow. Note: dollar rose from 700 to 1800 to the naira within three months. If we had a KH, our congregation might split into two or three congregations. Our CO is aware, and he's encouraging the elders to make the best of their situation until we get what we want. The friends have an attendance on Sunday of between 200 and 220, with most persons being publishers. If three-quarters of that number turn out for field service when the congregation works the territory as a congregation and not in different FSG, how many minutes would it take the captain to pair everyone? You can do the math.

Every Sunday in the month?

Thanks

Yes, but our congregation meets as a congregation on the first and last Sundays. That's what I am talking about. Sorry for not clarifying it. On the second and third Sundays, the groups go to their individual territories.
