i hope this one will be dropped: jehovah our father in heaven; oh, this is a most sacred night; twas nisan 14 when your glory was seen .... i hated that song!.
sylvia.
I hope they nix "We must act together as one / independence wisely we shun".
And my wife always hated it when I told her, "Hey, honey, tonight I'd like to stay awake, stand firm, grow mighty, carry on as a man undaunted"; she'd claim that Kingdom Melodies as sexual euphemisms were NOT romantic.
i'm going to be invading the international convention in sd this week if anyone has any requests, i'll be glad to do my best to meet them.
books, recordings, video, notes on talks, pictures, etc.
it'll give me something to do..
...And now you have another PM.
Wish someone with superior photoshop skills would paste in a porno where that book is sitting on the table. It'd make a great screensaver.
thanks to the efforts of auntbee, i know have a copy of the audio of the latest district convention.
i will listen to them and select a few choice ones to modify into a "best of" (worst of?
) video.. in the meantime, does anyone have a copy of the convention's schedule?
Perfect! Thanks.

In the meantime, does anyone have a copy of the convention's schedule? A scan would be ideal, though it's not needed. If someone could type in the name of the talks that'd be most helpful.
(Is there a scan of the convnetion program already on this site? If so, I can't find it... Any help?)
there's been a lot of talk on here about the crazy symposium at this spring's circuit assemblies, "stand firm against the devil's crafty acts.
" so, my wife and i decided to attend the assembly, or at least just this symposium anyway.
i recorded the whole symposium.. you can listen to the whole symposium (4 talks, >1 hour) here: http://www.watchtowerletters.com/media/devils_crafty_acts.mp3.
Pwp: Thanks, I thought she wrote a good blog, too.
As was so politely pointed out above (though I don't get the Dr. Evil reference), I spelled "Jehovah" wrong at the beginning of the video. I corrected it, but that means a new URL.

Or you can just watch the highlights (9 minutes, 59 seconds) here: http://www.watchtowerletters.com/vidoes.html
On a related note, there has been some discussion here about recording parts of the upcoming District Convention. I doubt I'll be able to attend the Convention, but if anyone is willing to record (even just the audio) any of the program, I can take the footage & create mp3s and videos like you see here. Anything having to do with science, the "last days", or disfellowshipping/shunning would be most welcome.
it's so funny that you need a password to see this "spiritual food" hah.
for the password they say:.
"heres what to do:take out aprils our kingdom ministry, look at week starting may 4. combine the 3 song numbers into one number (thats the password)now click on the image of the governing body below,.
Judging from the comments on that page, those folks are crying for proof of creationism.
the recent threads by pistoff got me thinking that some youtube vids of the hard line positions being taught from the platform would be pretty cool.
if you're already going, why not get us some documentation .
of course it might already be up on http://www.jwproclaimers.org/ for all i know.. it's a shame you don't know what conventions the gb is going to show up at because it really would be good to get those guys on tape no matter what..
I attended conventions in Minnesota through the 1990s and up until 2006. I recorded a few things.
One year, I recorded the baptism talk & then got close to the pool and recorded the baptism. No one said anything; in fact, one lady came over to me and asked for a copy of the recording (her son was getting baptized).
Another year, I arrived late & so my wife and I had to sit up closer than we would've liked. We had our tripod with us &, when it came time for the talk we wanted to record, we set up the tripod right in front of my chair (I had to sit campfire-style) & began recording. One guy sitting a few chairs down from me gave me an odd look, as if so say "what's with all the commotion?" But once he saw I planned on recording, he smiled.
The only time anyone said anything remotely negative was in 2006 when I plugged my camera into a nearby wall outlet. Even then, no big deal, an attendant just asked what I was doing.
So, after bringing a video camera to ten conventions/assemblies (at least), I think I can safely say you will not be harrassed unless:
1) You giggling about it the whole time,
2) You look out of place (guys: wear a tie, ladies: wear a skirt)
3) You are totally blocking an aisle, or someone's view, or making an insane amount of noise, or using their power source.
With regards item #3, I don't blame them - they want everyone there to be able to watch & hear the whole program, if you're in the way, then it's totally reasonable that someone would say something. Even then, though, they won't say "Get that camera out of here!", they'll probably just say: "Excuse me brother/sister, but you're making it difficult for some of the friends to pay attention. Could I encourage you to move your equipment to the back of the auditorium?"

All good suggestions.
And let me just add --
The audio quality on most camcorders is superior to those tiny cassette players. The tapes usually last longer, too. A tripod might be a bit "showy", but if you sit up in the bleachers, in the back row, you can spread out a little and no one will notice.
Having the audio file split up for each talk is nice, but don't worry about it. I recorded a symposium last month as one big file, then just split it up when I imported it into Final Cut. iMovie offers the same feature.
Also, make sure your batteries are charged - an attendant will come up an ask you to unplug something if you have it plugged in.
