What about the second image I posted? (I posted the first one by mistake and couldn't figure out how to delete it so had to leave it in the post with the second image.)  All you have to do is save the image to your tablet (phone) and then open up your "gallery" or photo program and then click "edit" and "rotate" it the direction you want it to go.  That's what I did.

Just so no one gets the wrong impression — the images I posted are not the originals. I removed the text, extended them vertically, and added the text back in (smaller and different position).

 

Jamie posted the originals. I modified what Jamie posted. 

 

I know you probably figured that out. You are free to use them as wallpaper, just as long as you know they are not the originals from the Society.

I know this probably won't help you because you're waiting for the images to appear on the site, but the links below show that the images link back to jw.org. This is where I got them from:

If anybody wanted the links, there ya go!  

So the photos are from our offical website.

Can someone do the images in landscape please?

 

You can just zoom and crop but it might be a bit pixelated.

 

I can't extend the width of the image without recreating the missing parts of the people, and that's way beyond my abilities in this System. 

 

Extending it vertically was was a simple matter of cloning the "empty space."

If you get one of the elders to download the artwork for the Public Cart witnessing, they have a "horizontal" view of this picture.

Ah, Thanks John, good idea. I will wait until it's available then.

The shipment arrived at the hall today.  I will pick some up tomorrow after service to begin the layout for the printing process also.

Layout is similar to last year, move it down slightly.

With two congregations first we confirm our time for Memorial.

Next is date for Special Talk... Assembly doesn’t interfere, we have it at the beginning of the April. COBE is checking with CO as last year his visit was the week of the Talk so we had to move it to the next week.

What is the theme/Title of the Special talk?  ...  and is it the following Sunday April 16th or the 2nd Sunday (23rd) after the Tuesday night Memorial? 

 

... may we start to see the rest of the invitation please?

Special Talk  "How To Cultivate Peace in an Angry World"/ Sunday, April 16, 2017 (unless you have CO visit or Circuit Assembly)

It is surprising that the Special Talk is at the end of the same week as the Memorial, but is true.

Isn't the special talk always the Sunday after the memorial?  Seems that's the way its been for a few years.  I remember because I run all 2000 invitations thru my printer every year.

In 2016 Memorial was March 23, 2016 and Special Talk was April 11, 2016.  In 2014 the Memorial was April 14, 2014 and the Special Talk was April 27, 2014. In 2013 the Memorial was March 26, 2013 and the Special Talk was April 7, 2013.  In 2011 the Memorial was April 17, 2011 and the Special Talk was May 1, 2011.  The rule used to be "No other significant event during the week of the Memorial".

We had a letter read some time ago advising that there is a branch visit scheduled for Canada the weekend of April 15/16, and all congregations will listen to a special program (either on Saturday or Sunday), which will take the place of the regular weekend meeting. I'm guessing that we'll have the special talk on the 23rd instead.

We just received notice of our CO visit during the week of the Memorial.  He will give his talk on 4/16 so we are having the Special Talk moved to 4/23.  I had already printed about 2400 invitations (about half of the shipment).  We are printing labels to cover the incorrect date.

This is just too good, I like the beautiful picture.......Looking forward to use this beautiful pic and material in our territory. Thank you Jehovah

Thanks again for what has truly been a beautiful screensaver.

Since first receiving this we could not have possibly imagined that so many things would have taken place on the Worlds scene and how unbelievably precisely historic Jehovah has proven to us once again how accurate his Timing is !
