Beginning May 2, 2016, AAC audio files will no longer be available on jw.org. If you subscribe to a podcast of The Watchtower or Awake! in AAC audio format, you may wish to create a new subscription in MP3 audio format. This can be done using the PODCASTS link on the PUBLICATIONS > MAGAZINES page. https://www.jw.org/en/whats-new/aac-audio-files-discontinued/ Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is an audio coding standard for lossy digital audio compression. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves better sound quality than MP3 at similar bit rates.

702016105_E_cnt_01.mp3 On April 14 and 16, 2016, two massive earthquakes shook the island of Kyushu in southern Japan. The first registered magnitude 6.5, and the second, 7.3. Hundreds of aftershocks have since followed. Over 70 congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses are located in the affected area, but no Witnesses died or were severely injured in the disaster. However, over 70 of their homes sustained severe damage and 17 were destroyed. Because of the continuing aftershocks, over 400 Witnesses were evacuated from their homes to Kingdom Halls, or places of worship, where shelter and meals were provided. The branch office of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Japan has organized…

A Madera couple temporarily living in Ecuador felt the effects of a huge earthquake that killed at least 350 people and injured more than 2,000 on Saturday – despite being around 140 miles away from the quake’s epicenter. Miguel and Alexis Sanchez moved to Montalvo in the Los Rios province on Feb. 29 to help other Jehovah’s Witnesses preach and teach locals about the Bible. The couple was lying in bed in their third-story apartment when they felt the first effects around 7 p.m. We could feel the building swaying from side to side. Migel Sanchez Miguel Sanchez said he thought his wife was nudging his leg, and she thought the same. The shaking t…

I remember seeing a video some time back where Sam Herd says; “100 years of Kingdom rule and counting” Or something along those lines. They always used to distinguish between the kingdom starting in 1914 and the coming millennial kingdom starting at Armageddon, but this recent video makes it plain that the Kingdom Rule started in 1914 and will end with a paradise earth restored. Am I correct in understanding that they now view the millennium to have started in 1914? This would mean we have 898 years left of the millennium.

Part of a series on: Prince died of AIDS and was HIV positive since the 1990s, the National Enquirer first reported on Wednesday. The superstar performer reportedly said that he believed God would cure him and declined to use HIV medications. Prince was a devout Jehovah's Witness member and had been seen at a conference for the faith as recently as last summer, the Daily Mail reported. Contrary to what many believe, Jehovah's Witnesses are not adverse to all medical treatments but it is unknown whether Prince's faith may have influenced him to forgo medical treatments. A Jehovah's WitnessWeb site noted, " "Some treatments conflict with Bible principles, though,…

Part of a series on: *** g89 2/22 pp. 12-16 I Found ‘One in a Million’ *** THE New York Woodstock Music Festival in 1969 was the most thrilling moment of my musical career. A sea of humanity stretched as far as the eye could see. It was awe-inspiring! I was the bass guitarist and singer with Sly and the Family Stone, one of the best-known music groups of the time. A tremendous roar of approval came from the throats of half a million people as they called for an encore of our performance. That was indeed a thrilling moment, but it is now far from the most memorable event of my life. I have found a rare treasure, a ‘one in a million’ find. However, b…

Part of a series on: 9 Apr 2016 02:11 PM EST -by Laura Tucker, Staff Writer; Image: Prince Rogers Nelson performing in the 1980s (Image Source: Yves Lorson via Wikimedia Commons) We've been hearing this week that Prince might not have had a will, and that if that is the case, by Minnesota law, his closest living relative would be rewarded with his estate. In this case it would be his full sister, Tyka Nelson. Out of all this confusion, a trust company has now been appointed to help manage his estate until someone else officially takes over. Prince was divorced twice, and his only child died at just one week old. His sister Tyka, also a singer, is…
