The world arguing whether Jesus was a man of color. He's Aussie!
And I'm OK with that...

When you say "Aussie," that is a difficult thing to define. I am 'Aussie', i.e., born in Australia. But my parents immigrated from Europe.
My DNA does not have any 'Aussie' content.
I think you might be able to draw the same conclusion about many of the characters portrayed in the upcoming Aussie production.
Over 95٪ of all Australians will have their DNA markers come from another continent.
Many of the characters will have their DNA heritage from the same region as the bulk of our first century family!

[Amen]

The new songs for meeting are added to the songbook. You just need to update your songbook.

The conclusion of the first talk... some judgement message against the authorities, isn't it?

 

A warning to Norway, perhaps?

All authorities that defy Jehovah.

Subliminal?   Would the GB "go there" ???

[Doug]

Well, it finally happened  .  .  .   I see someone I know in this broadcast.

 

In the postcard about Burkina Faso, it said the first missionaries arrived in 1972 (1:03)  In the photo, the couple to the left, on a motorcycle, I think, are Walter and Linda.

 

They were temporarily reassigned to the branch construction in Nigeria when I was there in 1986.

 

Burkina Faso had the distinction of being the poorest country in the world at one time.

I'm sure governments monitor our site.   Hopefully, no one sees the talk as a veiled threat from us.

Learn From Jehovah’s Friends has no actual animation. It's still images with narration 😥

Brother Marais called it an "animated series".

[truce]

That said, the April Bradcast was more than I bargained for. From having a role model Brother Splane deliver such a compelling talk to the experience of Sister Malone whose life story I recall clipping some years ago as "favorites" and also the experience of the Sister who relocated from Germany to the United States, etc, etc... Thank you, Jehovah, for how well you feed us!

 

P.S: I didn't know Brother Marais was originally from Africa, and did anyone else enjoy listening to the Circuit Overseer's well-enunciated British accent?

I noticed this too. I expected the characters to talk (Maybe this will happen in future animations).

But still, I loved it. I found it very cute.

Agreed!!!   It was so interesting to learn about the dynamics that played into Pontius Pilate's decision to hand Jesus over for execution.  The crowd chanting "You are no friend of Caesar".   Pilate thinking "Oops,  not good for me".

 

And the explanation of why Satan couldn't use fire to consume the sacrifice the Baal worshippers were offering.

 

I just received a message from a friend who had their Circuit Assembly.  She said reference was made to the article "Objects of Hatred by All the Nations" from km 2/94 pp. 3-5.

That article could have been written today!  Very compelling.   The Slave is preparing us at every turn.

Some expect War in Ukraine to go tougher in may...

I wish it wouldnt, but if that´s true, watch this BC and imagine you are in Ukraine.

You are remembered Jehovah didnt forget you; He cares for you!; His enemies that are pressing His people will not be succeed and soon will receive their punishment. I remembered dan. 11:45 - KOTN will reach to his end with no helper.

The dramatization with shelling bombs was amazing and emotional. It will continue.

Jehovah uses His angels, His Holy Spirit and even humans to reach out. 

As sister that survived WW-2 said: "all you have to do is to trust in Jehovah!"

As the end of this system is comming fast... we sure need these reminders to encourage us ❤️

War may expand in Europe if NATO gets involved.
I thought this was nice for our friends in Ukraine, but also it would be good for the rest of Europe if it gets bad.

I have 2 with godly wisdom as the theme so I'm not sure which one would work.

Depending on the theme, you may want to consider Our Joy Eternally since Jehovah is the source of true wisdom and applying godly wisdom can bring everlasting joy and other benefits.... but that's a long stretch.

Personally, the ones I most look forward to singing at the meetings are: Our Joy Eternally and Peace At Last. For lack of a better word: they have a 90s Christian Music feel to them... The period of the Moens and the Kenolys.
