Evidently (sic!) the talk about next year's year text (which is a permanent feature (!) of the Annual Meeting) was delivered by Samuel Herd as a prerecorded talk and is already online (as well as the January study edition of the Watchtower, which traditionally (?) contains the corresponding study article). In the last years the Annual Meeting was featured in the January JW Broadcasting. My guess is, it was held via videoconference in a very small circle and the rest of it will be posted in January, when all the talks have beeb translated, simutaneously in all the languages. Any news (changes, publications -- if there are any) will be communicated at that latter date.

My old Congregation is now a book study group of old people!
by Witness 007 inso i was in a yugoslav ethnic congregation of about 200 people in australia we had alot of refugee witnesses come in from the balkans war.

Gorby has to admit
by Gorbatchov infor the first time in my life, i have to admit that the world is rapidly deteriorating.
first i saw a decline in democracy worldwide.
elections were a tough battle every time, unfair too.

@Gorbachov I don't get it
here in Central Europe I feel as safe as never before, and "The End"TM is as far off as never before
there have been so many 'critical times' before and this is hardly the worst
I only wonder, why the praching activity has allowed to be dimmed out like this, no more urgency at all..
no idea how they wonna rekindle that, but perhaps all those baptized in CoolAid will simply run as the locusts* again, as soon as they are permitted to do so
locusts according to Revelation, not according to Joel... as broher spain exsplaned..

Petra:
Thanks for the delivery, but please note, this is NOT the S-147
The S-147 is the monthly announcement dated "May 2020" for example
Dated Announcements replace letters; without letterhead it is a little more difficult to know which branch provides these; as the curent "Announcement" is provided it could be either from the US or Spain branch, as no country indicator (like Us or Es) is given (just 5/16/20-E)
Thanks for the fresh food anyway

Differences between UK and US Corona Virus TV Updates
by ThomasCovenant ini'm in the uk, and most days over the last 2 weeks i've watched the 5pm uk government update on the corona virus situation which includes questions from the media.
generally speaking i've found the whole update, including the questions and answers, to be respectful, informative and non combative, with, to the best of my recollection, very little mention of politics and blame.
certainly no political point scoring.

not liking either governmanet i have to admit that the British side seems to have understood what is going on (at last since the PM is in ICU himself), while the clown heading the US government is still not grasping what common sense dictates in situations like these

WT study April 5 - how uplifting! How happifying! How encouraging!
by sir82 infor you poor saps unfortunate enough to have missed yesterday's zoom watchtower study, i thought i'd prepare a little summary for you.. in fact, to keep things really short, i'll just highlight the outstanding verbs from the article.. paragraph 2: do not view.
paragraph 4: think seriously about the warning.....partake unworthily.
paragraph 5: do not feel...does not give....do not feel....would never tell.

and all of this encouragement regurgitated from a 2016 Watchtower as nobody was able to produce anew a similarly faith stregthening article to prepare 8000000 hearts and minds for the most important day of the year...

Video: First 5 minutes: A lot of fear-mongering
well, not really, the video is the regular LMM for last week, introducds by the coordinator of the local Branch Committee, who is quite normal, at least in comparison with Stephen "the Clown" Lett
