May 2016 Broadcast

[Trey]

 

[Hanah45]

For the morning worship:

The third point was to throw your burden on Jehovah, " only our lack of trust can limit what he can do for us".

Wow!  

[Omoyeme]

Did anyone notice the small segment in this month's broadcast about the preaching work of our Russian brethren? They had the latest revision of the NWT in there hands! Through Divine intervention, the literature is getting through to Jehovah's people there.

 

This reminds me of an experience I wish to share:  In 1996, a friend and I took a trip labeled "The Bible Lands Cruise" on the Mediterranean.  We docked and toured Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Greece and Crete.  When the ship made a stopover in Cairo, we welcomed aboard a local brother who told us how Jehovah's holy spirit was enabling the friends there to "preach undergound" despite the ban in that country as well as in most Arab nations.  He gave us a few encouraging experiences and afterwards, many of us rushed up to him to shake his hand and to express our gratitude.  Interestingly, we found out at the end of our journey that this "trip to Egypt" was more than a "meet and greet" occasion and proved beneficial to the local friends there.

 

With Jehovah's holy spirit, his word is getting in these countries where the work is greatly restricted. 

[Hope]

Wasn't that Ukraine? 

[Omoyeme]

Hmm, I'll have to watch it again. I may be mistaken if it was Ukraine.  Point being...if the brothers and sisters were denied their spiritual food by the governmental authorities, would it not seem feasible that Jehovah would create some means to get the literature to Russia and elsewhere where the work is banned?  I pray that is the case.

[Adelin]

IT WAS RUSSIA ... maybe it's last precious thing they have been left with (and they talked about tracts)

[juliansan]

We have the russian NWT (2007 Release) in silver. It was released in 2013. Before the import was stopped

Yesterday I saw the May'16 broadcast! It was wonderful of course though I really can't share in it because I was feeling a little out of it while watching it due to this bronchitis.

Sooo, I'll watch it again when I'm  feeling a little better. 

But, and this is strange at least to me anyway, last night I saw how the brothers do the Bible reading and thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe because after the kinda fitful watching of the broadcast I took a nap, though it wasn't planned? The body is a strange thing.

It's good to  keep in mind that the individual family units in each congregation are the basic foundations for the individual congregations, so it is urgent to keep the families strong. I am single by circumstance, not really by choice. Because I live with my brother brother, we do have a semblance of a family unit. He is the spiritual head and does the 'man' things in the household, although we both do kitchen duty and I do a lot of research and  spiritual  preparation for both of us. He doesn't even know how to turn the computer on. ( He also listens to me when I threaten to shoot the computer.)  We all have to serve Jehovah to the best of our abilities and pray for his direction in everything. We all know that  this system will end right on time  so we must remain strong within our congregation so it will flourish.

Family heads really got a good deal of wise counsel this month, in my opinion.

[timpin]

Yes, they added subtitles. They sure helped when it came to the Ortiz family experience.

[juliansan]

How can you activate the subtitles?

On the JW Broadcasting home page, click the settings button in upper right hand corner. 

 

In in settings you will see "Video Subtitles". Check the box that says "Display subtitles when available" then click "Save" in the upper right hand corner.

Nice surprise.  The brother and family who move to a new congregation are from my circuit.

My brother just pointed out to me that my cousin & his wife greet the family when they first enter the hall, I hadn't even spotted them

I was also shocked because I make sure subtitles appear... The ortiz family were very encouraging
