I am happy to see how the brothers are being very efficient with the money being donated to the organization, and how they are being more and more transparent.

I found the video in Portuguese from Portugal. I'll watch it until Brazilian Portuguese does not arrive. Thank you sister Sophia!

So it looks like the emphasis is now on digital tools, which makes a perfect sense since many people now consume information online, especially in the form of videos. Worldly governments and organisations are also moving all their stuff online. It is cheaper and more efficient.

You're right... I clicked on the languages button, and saw your language. But now when I clicked the video disappeared... It's strange because your language, when not at the same time, is usually ahead of mine

Jehovah is training my patience.

And speaking of languages, sometimes I wonder if in the New World we are going to learn a universal language and keep the mother tongue, or we will totally forget our original language.

At the Tower of Babel,  Jehovah empowered a new language for each group with no recollection of any previous ones.  I realize there was a purpose to that (to prevent collaboration) but it made me realize that the ones who changed did not realize they had "lost" anything or even that they were the ones that were different.

 

So If God chose to just give us all a common speech overnight, we might not even know it was any different.

 

If it was important to be able to read Old World printed documents...who knows.

 

EDIT:  maybe the "New Scrolls" include the old scrolls of the Bible, etc. in the new language plus the important "updates" required....?

Did Adam speak Hebrew? (Or, some kind of proto-Hebrew language?)

Br. Johan, this is the opinion stated by our organization:

 

*** it-1 p. 1068 Hebrew, II ***
The Bible is the only historical source giving reliable evidence of the origin of the language that we know as Hebrew. It was, of course, spoken by the Israelite descendants of “Abram the Hebrew” (Ge 14:13), who, in turn, was descended from Noah’s son Shem. (Ge 11:10-26) In view of God’s prophetic blessing on Shem (Ge 9:26), it is reasonable to believe that Shem’s language was not affected when God confused the language of the disapproved people at Babel. (Ge 11:5-9) Shem’s language would remain the same as it had been previously, the “one language” that had existed from Adam onward. (Ge 11:1) This would mean that the language that eventually came to be called Hebrew was the one original tongue of mankind. As stated, secular history knows no other.

This is very interesting. Thanks for posting.

Hebrew has changed slowly over the centuries pre Babylon to post Babylon.

 

The israelite spies in Jericho were understood - thus similar language.
