There is no such edition available on JW.ORG nor in the JW Library app.  Our shipment from the branch only included the Watchtower #1 from 2022 (and the Awake  #3 of 2021).

 

Edit:  the branch has offered the Public Witnessing carts the option of using new magnetic signs for the 2018 edition.

It is mentioned in the July 2022 S-147

Yeah I was really surprised and many brothers with me.

But this week was the shipment, and it was there

A very nice and timely subject though..

Yes. I see it. It's the same cover as the one in Dutch above. In fact, all the images from that Watchtower are on the servers.

 

By the way, the English title is: Mental Health - Help from the Bible. In French it's: Santé mentale - L'aide de la Bible. Spanish: La salud mental - La ayuda que de la Biblia. Portuguese: Saúde mental - Como a Biblia pode ajudar.

I only just noticed, we've not had any public magazines since No1 issues 2022 of WT and Awake.  Do we know why?

There is only one new public Watchtower and one new public Awake per year.  they are spaced with Watchtower in the first half and the Awake in the second half of the year.

You know Brother John, I knew we knew this.  But I can't keep track anymore 🤣.  Thanks for clearing that up.

The website has very up-to-date front page articles that serve the purpose better in this fast pace, ever-changing world of quick-grab information.

Many years ago a brother suggested that one day we would have just single page magazines and the rest would be on the website. That sounded logical to me and I started a topic here about it several years ago. However the Branch has taken a different direction and has limited the number of new magazines they publish. Perhaps one day the number of new and old magazines that are printed will be reduced to save paper.

we received the WT already at our KH.....few weeks ago....

must be because we are in a Bethel influenced congregation...

We’ve had a delivery too, I was surprised to see it considering it wasn’t on the website or JW Library

Are we going to be presenting this magazine in the door-to-door ministry? I wonder how we are going to introduce it without offending somebody.

 

Ex: We have this magazine discussing mental health, and that's why we're calling on you.

It will be featured this summer and they would be crazy to not read it...

so I was suffering from a severe mental disorder but the Bible helped me get over it.. wonder how? this magazine explains it beautifully .. say it with one eye closed, a tired look.. sympathy creates curiosity!

All joking aside, I am looking forward to reading the magazine, I'm sure we will find a lot of information that will be easy to share.

I think May & June 2023 are the months it's going to be 'featured'.

Thank you Bro John.  I assume Australia is the same.  So now I’m going to do my literature cart in line with the literature featured.  I will still keep some Enjoy Life brochures on display.  When we did Metro the direction was not to have too many different publications and keep them in harmony with the poster.  So generally I have 1 or 2 only different publications on the cart.

A lot of people have struggled more with mental health throughout the pandemic, I think it’ll be a topic that many are interested in.
