Some positive comments in the news about the cart work during SuperBowl week. https://www.fox5vegas.com/2024/02/09/1000-jehovahs-witnesses-reach-out-super-bowl-fans-las-vegas/

Not sure if it’s a monthly broadcast or GB update but there’s a short clip on Mark Sanderson having a study via laptop, which I think is a Mac. Thanks for your help if you know the video!

Good to see this is getting more attention, locally we've done two this year. The first at Mass General in Boston back in April: massachusetts-general-hospital-completes-its-first-bloodless-heart-transplant-patient-of-jehovahs-witness (massgeneral.org)

Recorded on a Monday and released on a Friday.

Guests for the Annual Meeting are allowed tours of specific areas not commonly seen on regular tour. We were in-person for the annual meeting back in 2019 when we also toured JWB, although it was much more interactive back then. We also had a tour Mt Ebo and got a demonstration of the new video wall. If felt like IMAX on steroids!

Just getting back from NY this week, had nice tours of Warwick, Patterson (the new visitors center is open!) and Wallkill. While touring Tuxedo for JWB they mentioned how the videos are made. For the monthly broadcast they are recorded up to 6 months in advance (I thought it was 3 before). For the GB updates they are recorded on a Monday and ready for the brotherhood on Friday the same week, so if it's going to come on the 20th it's recorded on the 13th.

I think your notes are still there, I thought mine was lost also but see them now (took a few minutes to re-appear). Now another issue one one of my iPads (iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen) when I’m typing in notes it will randomly erase them and I have to start typing all over. Been doing this all morning.

Playing around with Playlists, tried using the 2023 Convention videos (I merged the two mornings and afternoons into one file). The timing is all off, but they place nicely.

This was the lead story on ABC evening news (6:30pm EST).

I think May & June 2023 are the months it's going to be 'featured'.

We had a Field Rep come to our hall and do the typical PowerPoint presentation when a renovation is going to happen with the BOE's of the KH. You can play a PowerPoint presentation w/o having PowerPoint installed. Also, he had a USB receiver that he used to advance the slides - no issues controlling it from the platform.

Does anyone know if territoryassistant is still available? I'm no longer able to access the webpage.

ProShowGold worked well for me over the years, it's been replaced with a new cloud-based tool (I think its subscription based) but I still use the older version. I created several last year for multiple funerals 😪.

Surgeon performed life-saving procedure on firefighter whose religious beliefs opposed blood transfusion | Fox News Those who serve on HLC's will appreciate this. I know the brother personally. It was amazing to see Jehovah's hand throughout the entire process. He was up and walking around (albeit limited) just three days after surgery. "The surgeon said during bloodless heart surgery, physicians use meticulous surgical techniques and innovative procedures to minimize surgical blood loss and avoid the need for a transfusion. El-Hamamsy said besides providing peace of mind to these patients, there has been study after study that show patients who do not receive blood transfusions have a better recovery than those who receive even a small amount of blood."
