What is 3GP?

[jwhess]

Here is one answer:  It is specially for mobile phone use.

 

The 3GP video container format was developed with the intention to save on disk space, bandwidth, and data usage, which is why they're often seen created from, and transferred between, mobile devices.

 

3GP is the required, standard format for media files sent using Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (MBMS).

Thanks.  I downloaded it but the picture quality was so poor I couldn't watch.  Went back to 720MP4.  We have unlimited data and my tablet's  SD card is really spacious.

Brother Cothan’s ( hope I got the spelling correct ) use of visual aids, and his talks in general, are always such treat.

Sr. Sue, I got this information from the Watchtower report on the 138th Gilead Graduation.  It has the spelling of Br. Cauthon's name.  I wondered also.

That was the theme developed by James Cauthon, an instructor in the Theocratic Schools Department.

When the Gilead program is out I really like The Inside Story (part 2) look forward 

[Hope]

As soon as anyone has these talks separated into individual MP3s, please let me know.  They were fantastic and right in line with what I need (considering dropping off the pioneer list). ❤️

I always feel that he always provides the best talk.

Shaken but not forsaken

 

You can roll with change or be rolled over by it.

It our disposition that matters, not our position.

Small tasks reveal a big heart.

 

We are specially vulnerable if we define ourselves by our own natural skills and qualities or what others think of us, by our assignment or by our position. It is a deceptive filter that cause us to loose sight of who we are. It is like thinking: I am what I do or I am what others think of me

 

Change is just a scene not an entire movie. Just a chapter, not the book

 

So  many good quotes. I really love him

He's one of my very favorites, as well.  He did the "Sympathetic Strings" talk a couple of years ago.. it was too wonderful! ❤️

To non-believers, the example of studying bacteria and that it is not beneficial may cause some misunderstanding..

The dead language example was good.

Many lives have been saved due to studies of bacteria.

 Am I being too serious? I guess so!

Note Bro Sanderson's quote: "Some study bacteria or insects, which is wonderful if you like insects. It may increase knowledge but it doesn't necessarily help anyone."

Misquoting people causes misunderstandings, too. 😊

[jwhess]

We are looking for "everlasting" benefits.  those who don't study bacteria can live forever, but those who don't study the knowledge of God and apply it, will not.

We will not need disease remediation in the New World.

I'm still trying to figure out what Brother Herd meant when he said (according to @WilliamChew's transcript above):

 

Quote

The Governing Body gets credit that we don’t deserve.

 

It belongs to Jehovah and Jesus, and we haven’t been able to close the mouths of over eight million bleating sheep.

(Page 16, last two paragraphs)

 

Is the Governing Body trying to close our mouths? I don't think that's what he meant. So, what was it?

[Tortuga]

I thought he was talking about the adulation the GB gets.

[Sheep]

Just now, Bro Richard said:

I thought he was talking about the adulation the GB gets.

Yeah, I got that part. But what about closing the mouths...?

[Sheep]

I missed part of that. Here's how the whole quote goes:

 

Quote

It belongs to Jehovah and Jesus, and we haven’t been able to close the mouths of over eight million bleating sheep.

 

But we will keep trying.

Now I'm more confused. The Governing Body will keep trying... what? Close the mouths of us 8 million sheep? I still think I'm missing something.

[Dages]

It's about closing the mouth when the sheep are almost venerating them. 

 

They are our brothers, not gods, not inspired prophets, they are servants, like we are. Nothing more.

I liked this part in the first talk

But remember that the brothers and sisters that you’re working with, the people that you’re trying to help, are wonderful people, and they will work with you, and they will support you.

The German translation says:

Jehova und Jesus haben es verdient und das werden wir auch weiterhin betonen.

Auch wenn es bei den über acht Millionen blökenden Schäfchen schon eine Herausforderung ist.

Retranslated into Englisch:

Jehovah and Jesus deserve it and we will continue to emphasize that.

Even if it's over eight million bleating sheep already a challenge.
