I'm so sorry, but you've missed out this time Seth.  Readings have all been done, just tweaking the completed videos now.

No problem. Hopefully the next one.

[hatcheckgirl]

Ok, it's done!

 

Here is the link:

There are 10 videos, one for each day of the Memorial Reading, plus two for Tuesday 7 April.

 

I sourced the images from jw.org, and most of the music is from there too (and a couple of nice musical surprises too).  Sometimes I couldn't get the picture to match up exactly with the reading, so I chose the best approximate.  I'm no expert at sound recording, but a couple of the readings sounded a bit too soft, so I amped it up.  Like I said, I'm no expert, but I've done the best I could manage on my decrepit laptop, only just still able to function. 😆

 

So please enjoy our collaboration, brothers and sisters. You all read beautifully! Thank you for being a part of this massive reading project.  I had a lot of help behind the scenes - thank you Friends Just Call Me Ross, and Hanah45, your help was invaluable and I couldn't have managed this without your extra pair of eyes and helpful suggestions and links.  Thank you to all you offered to help me with back up readings - your readings were very much appreciated though I didn't use them in the end.

 

In the end, all praise goes to Jehovah for uniting us in this brotherhood, and for giving us a true hope for our future.

Thank you so much.... im absolutely amazed by it and I know I'll enjoy listening and watching daily 😍

[LoneWanderer]

Wow, wow, WOW!!!! (and I hate using more than one exclamation mark) And I only checked the part of the day I had participated in. But this is so awesome! Such great work everybody, but especially you Sis. @hatcheckgirl. The lengths you went into to put in the pictures (and there is no search tool for looking up pictures from our publications, right?!) in the background, to edit the audio clips and put everything together. This is fantastic and as you humbly said, this is all to Jehovah's praise! Amazing reading to enjoy during the whole Memorial season

@LoneWanderer I agree, WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!

That was beautifully done. Well done everyone.  How beautiful, all to Jehovah's praise. Thank you everyone who read it in the language of your heart. It was joyful to hear all the different languages. I won't say more so I don't spoil surprises. Good job Lucy and all who helped you. Excellent job putting it all together.

Well done sis... and everyone!  Such a pleasure to participate and listen to! Thank you all! 😊🤗

[Friends just call me Ross]

Isn't it wonderful to hear everyone's voices?  Ads so much to JWTalk to actually hear talk.  

Grateful to all who gave voice to this amazing shout of praise!  ❤️

Our Sister Lucy is very talented.  

[georider]

Wow, Amazing, Awesome just is not sufficient to describe the beauty and awesomeness that I just saw and heard! Everyone was outstanding! It is so thrilling to be a part of this multicultural, multilingual, multi talented and multiracial organization! No other comes close! Definitely feel Jehovah's spirit! Hatcheckgirl, you and your helpers are AWESOME! Thank you from the depth of my heart!

Good job all, loved it.

[Astrid]

Thank you Lucy for starting this project and putting it all together! So much hard work! 

 

And thank you to all who participated! We are a great community here at jwtalk 🙂

What Astrid said. Hearing the voices of the different ones here on JWTalk adds some meaning to the comments.. it’s good.

It gives me goosebumps too! I got quite emotional going through all the details of Jesus’s death, in such a manner as this.  I feel honoured that we have the ability to connect together and make this a fitting recording of how we all feel about the ransom, and Jehovah’s willingness to give us this hope.  Again, thanks to all.

I was delightfully impressed. I haven't heard any of the collaborative readings yet. This was cool!

 

With the exception of my own terrible voice, lol, the rest of you could read for official recordings 😉

That's so very true!

Well, this is hysterical. (Oh, by the way, I found a new term that I think sort of fits me. “Mentally hysterical”. Albeit a sort of mild case) 
See, I told you...

Anyway, I can’t get it to open. I got as far as the pictures. 
I shall muster on...eventually....

[Vinnie]

If you plan to download them all at once, give it lots of time to download.
It’s about 1.4 gig in size

download them all at once

or download one at the time, what I did, but once downloaded the image of the file was different. how is that possible? how do you get it the same? I didn't understand what "add as cover" meant. This has happened before when downloading from JWTalk, all the same images unless I downloaded each file into a separate folder.

This may be 'off topic' so please PM or perhaps I should address this subject under the computer section.

 

It is my intention to listen to them on the days assigned and not before, what is going to be really difficult. Something to look forward to. 

[Risha]

Awesome project, thank you all. All glory to Jehovah.

ex-Finland.  

What country is this? Does the person not want to reveal the exact country? Ok, probably Russia or former Russian territory. Understandable.

The Tigrinya language, is a Semitic language spoken by Tigrinyas of East Africa. They live primarily in modern countries of Eritrea and Ethiopia. 

Fancy.

No, sorry, it’s Brother Julian, aka LoneWanderer. Originally from Finland, now living in US, speaks all three languages for his reading of Mark 14:46-53. Clever!
