2024 Governing Body Update #2

[Chris7]

We usually receive Governing Body Update #2 by the middle of March (or early March).

Therefore we are expecting Update #2 next week.

 

Does anyone know who our host will be or the subject matter?

 

[Dages]

Absolutely no idea but I'm going to check regularly  

[Parale]

The very first Governing Body Update was released on Wednesday 18 March 2020.

 

Last year the GB Update was evidently scheduled to be released on Friday 10 March 2023, but was delayed due to the Hamburg tragedy the previous day. The update was therefore released on the following Monday, 13 March 2023 instead.

Geralmente recebemos a Atualização do Corpo Governante #2 até meados de março (ou início de março).

Portanto, estamos esperando a atualização #2 na próxima semana.

 

Alguém sabe quem será o nosso anfitrião ou o assunto?

 

 

From the spoiler given at the Gilead graduation, as well as the May-June 2024 book, but specifically the week of June 24-30, the subject of the new update will be songs and our songbook

I can't imagine what it is, but just knowing this makes me emotional.

I'm hoping that some of our old songs will be part of the songbook again. So be it!

What “spoiler” was given at the Gilead Graduation? I must humbly admit, I either don’t remember, or I missed it?

The last song sang was "Give Me Courage" at the Gilead Graduation.

And when it played the video it said Song 153. 

 

Our Songbook has only 151 songs. Therefore, we are looking forward to the next Update to announce that the songs from the conventions will be added to our digital songbook and used in the meetings.

[TJ86]

The new convention songs be incorporated into our current songbook in the order they were released each year. For example, song 152, ‘A Place That Will Bring You Praise,’ song 153, ‘Give Me Courage,’ song 154, ‘Unfailing Love,’ song 155, ‘Our Joy Eternally’, song 156, ‘With Eyes of Faith,’ song 157, ‘Peace at Last,’ and song 158, ‘It Will Not Be Late.’, and so on. (This way, we would have a progressive songbook. The songbook would be updated annually, and these songs could be included in our meetings.)

 

There are strong indications that we will have more songs to use in the meetings. Looks like It might be happening. We are looking forward to it.

Following on from the Governing Body Update 2023 #8, perhaps Brother Jørgen Pedersen will return to provide an update on the situation in Norway?

Following the Hamburg tragedy in March 2023, the Governing Body Update 2023 #3 provided an update on the situation, including excepts from the special memorial service that was held.

Perhaps this update will likewise provide similiar information and exerpts following the October 2023 explosion at the Convention in India.

Almost certainly yes. If so, we might know by late Thursday perhaps ?🤔

Indeed. That would be amazing if possible, especially as the Memorial of Jesus’ Death approaches. Now is the right time to pray that Jehovah’s spirit helps our dear brothers and sisters to overcome challenges to prepare to commemorate Jesus death in a meaningful way (whatever their circumstances are, or where they are).

Gilead isn't really the place where we get new stuff. It's encouraging talks, mainly.

Thanks Sofia, does this mean the brother Sanderson is the host for the 2024 Governing Body Update #2 ?

yes

Hi, I looked and we don't have it yet.

That's OK, because Friday release now looks like a certainty once all the translations are completed. (If I am not mistaken)

This also means brother Sanderson has another few days for his beard to grow more fully. (just kidding)

Correct, we usually get it on Fridays
