Thank you for posting the Link. I had just gone to our THE website. Couldn't find this anywhere.

I was keen & actually remembered to get it.  ( I am forgetfull alot lately. lol) thanks again

I like the encouragement to pause the program and think about principles, areas in our lives where we may be affected etc. Makes it quite interactive, don't you agree? It's great comparing what we came up with to what has been prepared in the program. Great Family Worship idea.

[Dages]

Looks like we are prepared for trials.

[Mykyl]

Good reminders on what neutrality means and how extremely important it is right now.

Did Br. Jackson just say "I hope that idiot doesn't get into power." Colorful characters....  Neutrality in thought and speech is what we need right NOW! It is very easy to take sides right now, even without realising it.

As an example of what some may say, yes. Even if it is just in our own minds we say that... We can't be perfect but we can try and improve and not excuse it.

[hatcheckgirl]

Neutrality Neutrality Neutrality!

 

It's really coming through clearly.

Stop, Think and Pray Lyrics
JW Broadcasting - February 2017

Life’s not easy when trouble’s around,
And the whole situation is getting you down.
So called friends they just wanted reaction,
Turn to Jehovah and pray, silently pray.

Don’t give up, don’t give in; put your trust in Jehovah.
Keep it calm, we can win. If we stop, think and pray,
When there seems no way out, He’ll be there always by your side.
He will be your guide, never doubt. Now just stop, think and pray.
Make Jehovah smile. Let him show the way.

Everyday we’ll have troubles to share.
There are bills to be paid with no money to spend.
Even so we’ll be happy in giving, if we can make someone smile.
Make someone smile.

Never doubt, never fear; put your trust in Jehovah.
And our road will be clear, if we stop, think and pray.
When we’re weak, we are strong. And we’ll see, He was by our side.
He has been our guide all along. Always stop, think and pray.
Make Jehovah smile. Let him show the way.

(Stop, think, pray. Each and every day.
Give thanks for every day, every single day.
Stop, think, pray. Each and every day.
Give thanks for every day.)

Put your trust in Jehovah,
And our road will be clear if we stop, think and pray.
When we’re weak, we are strong. And we’ll see, He was by our side.
He has been our guide all along. Always stop, think and pray.
Make Jehovah smile, Thank Him every day.

Blown away by the quality of spiritual food we receive from our loving Father!!!

No McDonalds' fare.  Always gourmet dining at Jehovah's table.  *****

The production crews have truly headed the  suggestion to use their talents for God's glory, and I

sure do appreciate their masterful work for our benefit and the praise of Jehovah.  Another ***** production!

 

Don't hit the thingy below if you haven't already tasted February's spiritual feast.

Spoiler

Our God-given Free Will:

Jehovah's loving provision of a free will, to be used within the boundaries of Bible principles.  

Requires that we train our powers of reason and align our thoughts with Jehovah's thoughts.

Three ways we can train our powers of reason:

Illustrating the Bible's counsel:

Use LIKE  (Proverbs 12:18  This is like that.)

Analyzing the Bible's counsel:

analyze definition: discover or reveal (something) through detailed examination.

synonyms:examine, inspect, survey, study, scrutinize, investigate, explore, probe, research,

go over (with a fine-tooth comb), review, evaluate, break down, dissect.

Don't just read or hear, research and apply.

Balancing the Bible's counsel:

Ecclesiastes 7:16-18  Balance between the two extremes.

In the end, "Do all things for God's glory."

 

How Jehovah changes lives:

Sister Zelena and the reality of our Resurrection Hope.

 

The importance of our Christian neutrality:

Three things that we cannot allow to influence our neutral stand:

Propaganda

Sporting Events

Political Promises (personal preferences such as "I hope he or she wins the election." 

or "I hope that idiot doesn't get into power.")

Remaining neutral is essential to maintaining the marvelous unity of our worldwide brotherhood!!!

 

Sister Gertrude Putzinger's experience:

Jehovah will give us what we need to endure trials and tribulations.

Meditate on Christian qualities and the recorded accounts of how faithful ones of old were able to endure.

 

February's song:  Stop, Think and Pray 

(Will try to get lyrics as soon as they become visible via the CC on JW Broadcasting.)

 

Greetings from our brothers and sisters in Sortland, Norway:

                                                                                                                        

                                                                                                                      

I loved this pic':

 

Praise Jah for another memorable meal at his table!!! 

Yummy for my four spiritual tummies.  

Now, off to chew my spiritual cud.

Gave the wrong link, please delete my link or correct.  Thanks

[Cheeks]

Lately it seems the broadcast is available on JWB just a few hours after its available by using the link, so unless you really want to watch the broadcast a few hours early, it's just as easy to wait for it to be available on JWB. It's a personal choice.

Ok I'm confused. Every month we stream directly from the JW Broadcast site. But it's available from an alternate location earlier?

As Lynn explained in a previous post:

 

Quote

When one subscribes to the podcast on jw.org to get an email notification and download link to the Watchtower and Awake magazines, that download link is from the same site as the monthly program.

At their website, all the videos are stored (cloud) and then it is published on their site from the link that stores it.

 

[Cheeks]

So the original location on JWB is just not posted it yet because I just checked and still January is there.

Nope not on front page. It is on the servers though. If you get it directly from server - Watch the Language you are downloading. Albanian is listed first. Files usually go up around 2 AM ET

[Cheeks]

I just checked again and it's now up on the JWB page.

Where do I subscribe to any new video updates?

Lyrics to February's Original song, transcribed from the CC feature on JW Broadcasting:

 

Stop, Think and Pray

JW Broadcasting - February 2017

 

Life’s not easy when trouble’s around,

And the whole situation is getting you down.

So-called friends they just want a reaction,

Turn to Jehovah and pray-----Silently pray.

 

Don’t give up; don’t give in.  Put your trust in Jehovah.

Keep it calm, we can win, if we stop, think and pray,

When there seems no way out, He’ll be there always by our side.

He will be our guide, never doubt; No, just stop, think and pray.

Make Jehovah smile. Let him show the way.

 

Ev’ry day will have troubles to share.

There are bills to be paid with no money to spare.

Even so, we’ll be happy in giving

If we can make someone smile-----Make someone smile.

 

Never doubt; never fear.  Put your trust in Jehovah.

And our road will be clear, if we stop, think and pray.

When we’re weak, we are strong. And we’ll see he was by our side.

He has been our guide all along. Always stop, think, and pray.

Make Jehovah smile. Let him show the way.

 

 

Put your trust in Jehovah.

And our road will be clear if we stop, think and pray.

When we’re weak, we are strong. And we’ll see he was by our side.

He has been our guide all along. Always stop, think and pray.

Make Jehovah smile, Thank Him ev’ry day.

 

Backing vocals to last verse:

Stop. Think.  Pray. Each and ev’ry day.

Give thanks for ev’ry day-----ev’ry single day.

Stop. Think.  Pray. Each and ev’ry day.

Give thanks for ev’ry day------
