Are those the talks about the resurrection and GT? I thought we were going to get the talks about the changes to the ministry first. 

 

They have reversed the symposiums.  Part 1 now in November is the last part of the Annual Meeting.  The first part (or parts) will be shown in January as Part 2

The Annual Meetings since 2021 have been only two parts. Before that they were three parts back to 2015.

If they show all 3 hours in just 2 parts they will have to show it in two 1 1/2 hour sections or leave part of it out.

The workbook for January and February 2024 is also now available on the servers.

It's half past midnight here. I'm glad I took a look at this forum before going to sleep... I mean, now I'm not going to sleep anymore.

when you say the "servers" you mean it's now publicly available via the regular JW website i.e available to all

No. He means that the brothers have uploaded it to the servers to prepare it for downloading. The brothers still need to post the links that we see on jw.org and JWLibrary. However some of the members here have figured out how to find the files that have been uploaded to the servers before the brothers make them publicly available.

 

Just to illustrate that, it would be like going behind the literature counter and opening a box to get what you want before the literature servant opens the box and puts the literature on the counter. If the elders haven't locked up the literature to prevent you from doing that, then they are giving you silent approval to help yourself to the literature before it can be put on the counter. 

 

I hope that illustrates the process. Interestingly in our congregation there are locks on all of the literature cabinets, but they are rarely locked. We are able to go behind the counter and get literature when we want but we never open a box. So, I hope the illustration still applies.

Yes, what we expected.  The last four talks, confidential, to be released 11/6.

This is very early; I think it's the earliest we've seen a Broadcast uploaded.

I wonder if they did that so that everyone that has the code can finish downloading the video first.

Just to reduce the load on the servers...

I may or may not have finished watching the thing although it's 6am here...

Yes, I figured that. But I can't see a reason to post such info. If it's not publicly available, then why mention it at all.

21:00 Sunday night here, I'll watch it with my wife in about 12 hours.

He probably just wants to build anticipation - like taking a photo of the Convention hall the day before while he is there cleaning. Everything is getting ready 

 

At least that is the positive motive I would like to impute on him - rather than a negative one.

 

Sweet dreams everyone

Generally every one gets it within a couple of hours after it is uploaded to the server, so it lets us know that it is coming soon.

Ok, now it makes sense.

I find it unwise to go and shout from the rooftops that it is online ... only for some.

 

It's like holding 1 candy in front of a whole class and saying that the rest comes in a few hours. 

 

Why is it so hard for some to respect feelings of others? This isn't the "spoiler topic" either! 

 

As brothers and sisters we need to show love and compassion, in stead of cheering I have the lolly and you will enjoy it when the rest comes.

 

 

Maybe I sound to righteous here, I don't know. But my feeling says that this is not right. 

No problem I can PM you and send you a candy if you wish.

Send me a candy, but not from the worldly event with a treat or trick

Ahh, I can’t wait!   Well I can, cause I have to, but if someone wants to PM any link to get into the lit cupboard, I’d love to get watching immediately 🥰🫣

I have another illustration, a different one.

For every congregation meeting in Zoom, the brothers sent an email with the link, access code and password.

Sometimes the email was sent a bit late or not sent to all contacts.

What would one do?

Wait for the email to come? Or enter the already known code and password to enter the meeting?

 

This is not for you personally of course, one should not be too concerned about what his brothers and sisters are doing, it that is not against the any Bible law or principle or a direct recommendation from those who have the authority to do so.

Doing that one would be considered to be week in the faith

 

Is because of the weak in faith are the reason some keep their choices silent.

"But keep watching that your right to choose does not somehow become a stumbling block to those who are weak"

1 Corinthians 8:9

Since the recent Annual Meeting was 3 1/2 hours, it is expected that the next JW Broadcasting for January 2024 will be 2 hours long for the first symposium and updates.
