Hi everyone, I’m having a nightmare trying to find out how to edit locations for the ministry. I must have found it previously because I have a bunch of locations available to select but I just cannot find it again. Help! TIA, WCL Matthew Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We have had some direction from the LDC for minimum specs: I5 processor 512 HDD 8GB Ram 2GB graphics card (likely to need to purchase separately) We’re meeting tomorrow and looking at an HP desktop with similar specs, but 16GB Ram and a 4GB graphics card. Total cost just under £1,000. HTH. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hello everyone, our hall doesn’t have any mic poles and I was hoping someone could recommend something that is of good quality but not overly expensive. All thoughts appreciated! Matthew Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not really, just lots of articles about the permafrost melting, which is probably best discussed under another thread lol (what convinces you that the GT is near…) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’ve had a look on google but I can’t find anything about these animals being frozen at different times, do you have any links? I had always thought it possible that they ended up there due to the flood. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Shem. Lived before and after the flood. Find out if he was indeed Melchizedek. See what he thought of Nimrod and the Tower of Babel they built to be taller than any flood waters Jehovah might send again (even though he made a promise not to) and to actually attack the heavens! Get the lowdown on the nephilim. How was life on the ark for all that time? Did methuselah have much to say about Adam or Enoch? Did you meet Isaac? How did life before and after the flood compare? So many questions. He’s probably best to avoid me at all costs! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thank’s for that lovely experience. I’m not sure if it is the same brother as on the audio recording I don’t recall a name being mentioned. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Brothers, I used to have an audio file of a brother from Egpyt being interviewed in Australia, but I can't seem to find it anywhere on any of my old hard drives. Does anyone have a copy they could send me? Many thanks!

Hi Brad, I can see why that could be frustrating, however, I’d suggest a little caution in inviting ones to the meeting that you don’t know through letter writing. It seems to me that people who may want to disrupt our meetings might be more inclined to logon to a zoom meeting for “a laugh” and post inappropriate material or cause disruption in another way, emboldened by the fact they could easily conceal their identity in a way that wouldn’t be possible if they were to physically attend the kingdom hall. Of course, if you find interested ones that you have contacted through the letter writing ministry and they are interested in attending a congregation meeting I would suggest you consider speaking to one of your elders. They would then be able to inform the attendant who could keep an extra beady eye in the newcomers, just in case! Keep up the good work in your ministry it sounds like you’re doing a great job [emoji16] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Bro. Jay, I haven’t seen this direction from the organisation to change passwords for every meeting. Our congregation has not changed passwords as some of our older ones could be thrown if we did. It could be that the particular body of elders mentioned was very concerned with security for one reason or another and so have made the decision to change passwords regularly.

Hi, I don’t really want to be a kill joy or anything but in the instructions that were sent to the elders on how to host zoom meetings there was a very long list of instructions for “settings” at the end that need to be enacted by the main account holder assuming you are not using an organisational account. There is a setting option “Hide participant profile pictures in a meeting?” And the instruction is to have this turned on (yes) so that those attending the meeting are not able to set their own pictures. You can perhaps understand why we have this direction, for example just in case someone who was perhaps not a brother were to get in to our meeting and have some unsavoury picture up that could cause distress to those in attendance. I’m not surprised some bodies of elders have missed this, it takes a fair amount of tech savvy to understand and implement the directions, but it ensures many of Zoom’s less safe features are off by default during a congregation meeting. Such as the option to record the meeting, screen share by anyone etc etc etc. I’m not telling you not to share these pictures, that’s your decision, and I must say you’ve done a great job with them!

Are there any do’s and don’ts published about writing to our brothers in Russia? If not, what good practice could you share with me? Thanks all [emoji16] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I can’t quite imagine how awful and scary and stressful this must all be for them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi all, Ever since I realised that you could take notes and then save them I’ve been using Dropbox to do that, however since the last update I only seem to have google drive or iCloud as an option, anyone else noticed this? Thanks Matt Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
