Meekspace notification

[Musky]

The administrators of meekspace have just posted this announcement:

 

Dear Friends 

 

As you have noted the Branch has lovingly placed the OKM on jw.org and on wol, they have also updated their terms of use for the website. The brothers and sisters that make up the WSM team have reviewed the terms of use and have decided to discontinue the production of the WSM files in the English, Spanish, Tagalog and Brazilian languages.(The Portuguese OKM is not online for the public yet) We all knew that this day was coming once the Branch started down the path of using the internet and allowing us to download the publications. It was only a matter of time before Jehovah made sure we had all we need to prepare for the meetings and the ministry electronically.

 

Many years ago one of our dear brothers started putting the information together for the weekly meetings so that we could have it with us wherever we went. In time his obligations changed and was no longer able to produce them, so others over time stepped in to help out until we have the group now that puts them together in five languages. The purpose has always remained the same to provide the friends with the study material for the weekly meetings so that we can have it on our devices and be better students of God's word. Now that Jehovah has provided us with the OKM to download freely, He is providing it for us. We no longer need to devote the time to the WSM files, we can put it to a better use.

 

The group has always put at the forefront trying to assist our brothers and sister with their devices and how to use them to study, that will not change, it is the reason that meekspace was started and it is the reason that we have all found our way here. We will continue to offer assistance along with all of the other friends that are meekspace members. I'm sure that many of you have already benefited from such assistance.

 

Will the other files that are available through meekspace change? We can not answer that yet, the decision has not been made yet exactly how the new terms will affect those files. Watch for a future announcement concerning those files.

 

We would like to thank all of you for your support, critiques, and help that you have given us over the years.

 

Warm Christian Greetings
The WSM Team

That was beautifully said

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I don't know what "meekspace" is nor do I know what WSM files are. I assume that it has something to do with our weekly service meeting?

Dear wsm team

Would like to thank you people from the depth of my heart for all the love and support and a spiritual thing you have been doing.the place were i live is a Tamil congregation and previously it was difficult to get everything in English.but the timely help,Jehovah God provided thru you people is worth acknowledging.it is like," you took care of the crippled children who were thrown into the water to swim."

Meaning when we don't get things in our comfortable language,we are crippled.

Anyway, thanks and blessings for you all. I am one of the happy child who benefited from meekspace.and have helped others.

But pls remember that wt lib we are having is because of the isilo and the pdb files which were got from meekspace.here are brothers and sisters who cannot afford internet charges to do research.hope we will be getting that support.

It's immaterial now, but here is a sample of a "WSM" (Weekly study material) file for next weeks meeting schedule. If you use a tablet. all the meeting/study material are linked. Which the epub version of the KM almost does the same thing.

We made these in five languages and in PDF and PDB (Isilo) formats.

I want to say thank you very much also! I've been using the wtlib file for several years now (since meekspace was just an yahoo group if I recall correctly) but didn't even knew that there where WSM files in portuguese... Well to late now, lol

Thank you!

A message to the meekspace team. My wife and I don, t use your website of late. The Jw.org site nowfills our needs. When we did the site was very useful to her. She had limited sight and used an iPad because she could zoom in on the print. Your site was instrumental in providing the files we required. Thank You

I would like to thank the team, as I have personally benefitted from these files over the last couple of years. They have been very useful, not only to me, but to others. Thanks again, and Jehovah's blessings to you all.
