Is that how many seconds we have waited since October 6th? Seems like an eternity when you put it that way. Remember, On this account, prove yourselves ready, because the 2017 yearbook is coming at a second that you do not think to be it. Andrej 24:44

Hopefully we have only 172,800 seconds to go.

Yes, It has not all become available yet.  Patience!  The good news is that the time is short, stay on the watch.

[dove]

Oh okay, I just thought I wasn't doing something right also because I was able to get the Armenian language but not English.

Seems like it's usually English first? Anyway, I will have patience....Thank you   

[trottigy]

Yes, only mp3s for now - in English.

[Chris7]

It has finally arrived.  "when what is complete comes, what is partial will be done away with." Now our joy is complete.

I especially liked listening to the audio of Brother Lett reading the letter from the Governing Body   - we also have been watching both parts of the video on Jesus from the 2015 RC -  a definite must see!

It's been a sort of snowed in spiritual feast day for us. 

[Friends just call me Ross]

Spoiler

When that young brother from Georgia said, "Now I know what it's going to be like living in paradise,"

I lost it.

The two sisters and the two brothers with the same name pioneering together was neat.

But I bet it was also confusing to those they met at the doors.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think the yearbook ended rather abruptly?  

I had to stop and see why the narration had suddenly stopped. 

All in all, another delectable spiritual feast at Jehovah's table.

Where? I don't see it yet.

[adamcu78]

what stories or figures caught your eye?  i just started reading it, but something sprung out.  Total preaching hours was just under 2 Billion hours.  that is absolutely amazing and you can see the effect it had looking at the other figures.

Such a great read ...... can't put it down.  Loved letter from GB . 

[Vido]

I'm an extremely slow reader.....so I will finish reading the yearbook within the next three months. I've also been listening too the Mp3 version, but prefer to read it though. The tactile feel of the paper, the texture of the book. The smell of the ink on paper....the pictures. All these seem to engage my 5 senses even more.  And this gives me an opportunity to stop in between and to meditate on the material.

Agreed. I love windows 10 and apple ability to stream the mp3 audio.
