  1. "On Sunday, October 29, 2023, at least two bombs exploded at the regional convention held in Kerala, India. The incident occurred just after the opening prayer. According to initial reports, two of our sisters were killed. At least 55 individuals were injured. There were over 2,200 people in attendance. The police are currently investigating the situation. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy. - Psalm 9:9." https://www.jw.org/en/news/
  2. What is your favourite song/songs to sing together as a large group at assemblies/conventions? My all time favourite is “We Thank You Jehovah.” Most conventions during the past 30 years usually ended their program with this song, but the orchestral arrangement behind the wall of voices always gave me goosebumps! Would love to sing it again together at a future assembly.
  3. Hello to all of you, dear brothers! I'm a young, baptized, newly married brother serving in a congregation in Portugal. Lately I've been feeling a little down, I'm not going to lie. I have known the truth since I was born, and I have always heard that there will be a Great Tribulation and an Armageddon. As I got a little older, I began to hear about the announcement of peace and security that we are all waiting for. The problem is that more than 20 years have passed. And I know that before I was born the brothers already heard about it. I've made so many changes in my life for the end of the system and it seems like it never comes again... I sometimes hear speeches from the Governing Body (such as Brother Anthony Morris's final speech for the second part of the 2021 Annual Meeting, February 2022 Broadcasting) or read articles in the Watchtower that make me think it won't last longer. than 5 years. Other times, through the news I see, conversations with some brothers or even the organization's projects, I keep thinking that the end is not so close after all. The Governing Body says the end is "imminent". When someone tells me something is imminent, or about to occur, I usually think it will be in a few days or weeks. In the case of the end, of course I don't think of days or weeks, but the word "imminent" makes me think of 2 or 3 years. Imminent is associated with urgency and it doesn't seem to me that more than 5 years is that imminent for a human being. For humans like us, imminent is something brief that we are about to witness. How long ago did we start hearing the expression "the Last of "the Last Days""? What if the conflict with the King of the North lasts for a few years (as Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General, said)? To announce peace and security, the world needs to be at least at peace, and I don't think peace with Russia will be achieved that quickly. I see the war in Ukraine as the tip of the iceberg, which will continue around the world until it reaches the confrontation "King of the North vs King of the South". The announcement of peace and security may not come until a few years from now. And what about the Great Tribulation? It may take even longer to arrive. We still have the prophecy of the "generation that will not pass away", but we have the example of Brother Mark Sanderson who was born in 1965 and is currently 57 years old. For me, 57 is still a relatively young age. It takes 13 years to reach the age of 70 and normally no one dies of old age at 70. Do you understand what I mean? In my former congregation, for example, there was also a brother who took the emblems and who must have been around 40 years old. There are many anointed ones who are still somewhat far from old age. I'm getting more and more fed up with this system and it never seems to end. Even the Covid-19 pandemic caused me hope, but it's been 2 and a half years of pandemic and nothing has happened. The war with the King of the North also started in February and we are already entering July. Another convention is coming and the question remains: how many more conventions will there be until the end of the system? Like, how many more conventions does the Governing Body have prepared for us to attend (when they are prepared 5 years in advance)? And regarding the Memorial, how many Memorials are we going to attend until the Great Tribulation comes? We also have the project of the series "The Good News According to Jesus" that started recording on May 20th of this year. If this series can be used in the new world to teach the resurrected about the Bible, then Jehovah will want the series to be released before the system ends, right? Since the series will last about 1000 hours, how many years will it take to finish recording, editing, translating, etc? And what about the new study book "Enjoy Life Forever!"? We will have a worldwide preaching campaign in September to offer Bible studies with this publication, do you think Jehovah would allow the end to come before anyone interested has time to study it and make progress? And the return to face-to-face meetings? Wouldn't it make sense for Jehovah to give us some reasonable time to encourage each other after 2 years away from each other? And as for preaching, do you think the end will come without us getting back to full throttle (not to mention the judgment message)? Please brothers, tell me your opinions regarding everything I said, regarding current events and how long you think the end is. I need help from a brother who is up to date and who is an active servant of Jehovah.

  5. AMHERST – Outside, the world was raging. But inside, they were safe. Outside, there were wars, known and unknown. There were men with guns and hearts full of hate. There were trials and temptations, liars and blasphemers. There were squabbles over earthly things — money, oil and power — that brought nations to their knees. Inside, they had peace and unity. They had their iPads with their verses and their books of scripture. They had their shared songs and stories. They had their Brothers and Sisters. They had each other and the love of Jehovah. Kristina and Nathan Steffenhagen, along with their daughters Estella and Sienna, were among more than 5,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses to join in Amherst this weekend for the regional New England convention. The gathering at the Mullins Center overlapped with a terrorist attack in France, a military overthrow in Turkey and a shooting of police in Louisiana — events in a recent string of violence and turbulence. But while the world reeled, the Jehovah’s Witnesses steadied themselves with scripture. They took these tragedies as signs, confirmation of what their faith foretold: the end is approaching.

  8. https://www.newsday.co.zw/2015/09/05/924-baptised-at-jws-imitate-jesus-conventions/ Loved the response from the Tourism and Hospitality Industry minister Walter Mzembi: “The message I have from the ordinary people of Zimbabwe is, ‘Why can we not have a Jehovah’s Witness global convention in Harare every week?’ My President sends his message of gratitude and would like to see you back again to carry on with your work in the development of faith in the country.” What an incredible shout of praise to Jehovah!
  9. http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/news/local-news/crowds-take-huge-baptism-pool-7670965#.U_zKDLRXQeQ.facebook Hundreds of people were baptised at Twickenham Stadium during a huge gathering of Jehovah's Witnesses. More than 50,000 people from across the globe attended a convention at the venue between Friday (August 22) and Sunday. Nearly 100,000 more people watched via live video link at venues across the UK and further afield. A temporary pool was set up on the rugby pitch, in which 359 people were baptised during the course of the weekend................. There are some awesome photos in the gallery. If someone can snag them and put them on here that would be great.
  10. Does anyone have the Evernote templates for the the Regional Convention? If so, could you please share them along with your experience in using them? Thanks.
  11. Interesting official Detroit International Conventions website. http://detroitdelegates.org/
  12. At the last international convention we were blessed to meet our dear brothers and sisters visiting from other lands. Some had handmade little gifts to give. They ranged from personal cards to origami bookmarks. I would really like to get started on a few little tokens that hopefully might be good enough to give. Something small and light-weight that reflects the occasion, the area or land the convention is being held in and home made. Has anyone got projects underway, done this before or have plans or ideas to share?
