Have to act fast, you have 10 minutes to edit after posting and then it is history.  :)

 

or you can ask a mod to edit for you.

 

Or you can have fun with mods and ask them to edit all your posts and change "is"  to "iz"

You could also mention that you didn't mean "and" but "ant'  LOL    :lol1:

 

O well, you are passing another pointless post .... :whistling:

I'm sorry, we forgot to update, didn't we?  I've looked through my notes for the Zone Visit to Australia 1 April, and there were many encouraging experiences, but this has been mentioned above already

It says "authorities in Russia interrupt Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses ". So yes, this is in Russia. This makes me very angry! Jehovah sees the injustice going on with our dear brothers and he is indignant to say the least!!

I thought it was Russia, thanks for confirmation. This has just been put up on youtube. So perhaps what Victoria said yesterday about arrests might not be far wrong.

Oh wowww !! The pope and the Catholic church obviously don't like us, but in giving the reasons why they have ended up praising us and extolling the name of God.

 

If you speak english - just turn the volume down and read what is written ... it's wow in a good way.

I just came from post office to deliver our letters.

The price here is expensive, even with the Russia Embassy so near.

We had to join in one package all the mails from brothers and sisters of our congregation and asign 2 brothers to do it.

 

When we arrived at post office today to deliver the package it was crouded with alot of brothers and sisters  :D

It was like as small convention were you could find some brothers from other circuits, and sharing experiences about the campaign !!!!!

The post office lady said that she recieved also letters from also no witnesses willing to participate in this campaign. 

Its being a very good campaign!

This was a few months ago, towards the end of last year.  I remember seeing it when it was first posted online.  

Don't give up .. it's just around the corner.

This was always going to be difficult but once I actually finished a letter to President Putin I checked out the printer. All five cartridges expired in succession! Then the paper jammed and I had to clear the whole shelf to fiddle about and free it.

The "six year lifespan" bulb blew in the bedroom so I couldn't see to feed in the envelopes!

The iPad refused to change the paper size so I had to email my PC and print from there.

When it finally printed without smudging I realised it was upside down. Not wanting to trigger a diplomatic incident I printed another the right way up.

There's a lot of "fake news" going around supposedly of  the friends in Russia when it is not.   We must not be naive and think "well if the heading on Youtube says XYZ it is so" I have no idea about this but I am automatically weary of Youtube videos post of supposed "attacks " on the Russian friends posted over the last few days.  Our brothers will report what they can and what they cannot (because they do not want to put the friends in danger) we do not need to worry about.

 

It is not upbuilding to post unverified images of attacs on the friends as this could be discouraging and counterproductive even harmful for the brothers in these countries if the reports turn out to be false.    Don't want to sound like a grump and we are all hungry for news but felt I had to say  this as "do not trust every word"

What you say is correct Sister Rosie, and only verified links are allowed on jwtalk anyway (unless its in Torts fake news thread lol) ... often like the one i posted, while it's legitimate, and that was obvious just by watching it, the timeline was not ... so Fake news is not always incorrect, but often misapplied. WHich is why I ask for feedback if anything is posted. So I think brothers and sisters for the most part if instigating a link or post are responsible in their reporting. I think sometimes though when we repost or share posts esp on social media like Facebook ... we have to be sure of the sources.

 

http://www.biblefriendlybooks.com/2017/03/worldwide-letter-writing-campaign.html

 

Now the link above is most interesting ... it talks about an event (our letter campaign) being largely ignored by the media , which is true - but maybe that's the way Jehovah wants it for now.   Another interesting point - the people from Guiness book of records may be watching.

Yeah, I saw this a while back.

 

Look up some of these phrases on Watchtower Library. Don't quote me, but I believe this is an article from many years ago, but it comes up again on social media, and gets put in some online news as a result.

well yes, even if its older, it fits well in with the current campaign. Is he the pope that retired?

Not from the birds themselves but they use what comes out of them. It's already nice and soapy. :)

YUCK!

One small crack doesn't mean you are broken; it means that you were put to the test and didn't fall apart..
