    The Librarian got a reaction from Queen Esther in 1980's Kyrie (song) - Has A Deeper Meaning Than Most Listeners Know   
    "Kyrie" is a song by American pop rockband Mr. Mister, from their 1985 album Welcome to the Real World. Released in late 1985, it hit the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in March 1986, where it was #1 for two weeks. It also hit the top spot on the Billboard Top Rock Tracks chart for one week. In the UK the song peaked at #11 in April 1986.
     
    Kýrie, eléison means "Lord, have mercy" in Greek, and is a part of many liturgical rites in Eastern and Western Christianity. Kýrie, eléison; Christé, eléison; Kýrie, eléison is a prayer that asks "Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy; Lord, have mercy". According to Page the entire song is, essentially, a prayer.
    Kyrie eleison
    Kyrie eleison
    Kyrie
    The wind blows hard against this mountain side
    Across the sea into my soul
    It reaches into where I cannot hide
    Setting my feet upon the road
    My heart is old, it holds my memories
    My body burns a gemlike flame
    Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
    Is where I find myself again
    Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel
    Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night
    Kyrie eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
    Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light
    When I was young I thought of growing old
    Of what my life would mean to me
    Would I have followed down my chosen road
    Or only wished what I could be
    Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel
    Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night
    Kyrie eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
    Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light

    The Librarian reacted to JW Insider in 100 years of kingdom rulership   
    The following is mostly auto-generated. I didn't make corrections yet. I don't know if it can serve any purpose, but it's almost a transcript. The numbers refer to the time location in the video (1:45 is one minute and 45 seconds from the start of the video).   0:02 [old kingdom song to the tune of "battle hymn of the republic" (Glory, Glory Halellujiah)] 0:42 "Every one of us are well and happy every day we're still working away and we feel 0:50 as brother Russell has said the Gentile times have ended and their kings have 0:56 had their day, so we know not what awaits us. 1:00 May you day by day 1:04 keep close to the master and his presence will so cheer you that nothing 1:10 shall be able to dismay you"  - Edith Kessler, October 11, 1914. 1:32 at the Kingdom's birth in 1914 the Bible students were not exactly sure what was 1:40 going to happen but they knew it would be a pivotal year. for decades they had 1:45 been saying that the Gentile times were closing and that the Kings they had 1:49 their day, and they had been using every means available to focus attention on 1:55 this monumental event. Newspapers had carried sermons to millions. Volunteer 2:01 workers had distributed millions of free tracts. 2:04 Colporteurs were zealously preaching. Pilgrims were busy organizing 2:09 congregations and the message was expanding globally.  but with the end of 2:15 the Gentile times approaching so quickly 2:17 how could so few Bible students reach an entire world? 2:22 How could they quicken the pace? 2:29 "It is unanimously resolved to use moving pictures in teaching Bible truths. The 2:39 Lord sanctioned this in his use of word pictures 2:42 so this should not be neglected." -- The Watchtower 2:47 July 1, 1913. With that resolution the Bible students were galvanized to 2:54 present the Photo Drama of Creation. But such a mammoth undertaking would not 2:59 come without challenges. Some of the young brothers learned to operate to 3:05 projection machine by volunteering at the local theaters. Being too young I 3:09 used to sit in the booth with the brother. i can remember how exciting it 3:14 was when a film caught fire 3:16 how the brother had to act quickly to put it out and proceed with the 3:19 performance. 3:20 -- Dwight Kenyon. It was excellent 3:26 It's very amazing you had individuals back in those days that were able to do 3:32 that without modern instruments and that's very impressive. 3:35 That's really what helped my father to come into the truth. 3:39 They got to the meeting the next day after it was finished and eventually 3:43 started studying and within a few months they were baptized and my mom told me 3:46 that she was one of the usherettes when they put on the Photo-Drama there in 3:50 their town in Texas. But they had little pictures, postcard size of the pictures 3:56 that were used the slides and it was a joy to look at those from time to time 4:01 when I was a kid. 4:02 Nine million people saw the photo trauma during his first year. A precious message 4:08 they would not soon forget 4:11 and there was more to come. From every part of the field has come to cry saying 4:18 what more is there that we can do? 4:21 The result is a new magazine under the title the Golden Age -- Joseph F Rutherford 4:31 After that announcement brother Rutherford ask of everyone there 4:34 how many desire to do this work? 6,000 Bible students stood up as one 4:42 and over the next decade the thousands who would participate in that service 4:48 work would use many creative methods to reach more people 4:52 faster among them was a book the heart of God people were encouraged to get the 4:59 Harp Study Course by mail 5:01 then when I went to the home of our service director his wife and I ran 5:06 speed races typing addresses on these cards sent out hundreds each week 5:11 -- Trudeau McKittrick. Soon another technique would come to the fore, the 5:17 radio station WBBR. The studio for this new radio broadcasting station was 5:23 located in the attic. The microphone that we used at the beginning was taken from 5:28 an ordinary telephone. 5:30 Finally after some weeks of preparations we were ready for the first broadcast 5:34 that occurred on Sunday evening 5:37 February 24, 1924. The call letters were WBBR. these call letters are 5:45 enemies that meant: 'Wicked Buzzes By Radio.' 5:48 It was my privilege to throw the power switch on for that first broadcast and 5:54 away we went 5:55 hoping for the best -- Ralph Leffler. The people to this earth are now numbered 5:59 with the thousands of millions many of them. WBBR in many respects was a 6:03 forerunner to the videos because we had final questions answered there we had 6:09 public meetings we had booked studies we had news 6:13 the first piece of equipment that someone got when they came into the 6:16 truth was a really good radio so they could hear WBBR and that's like i 6:22 mentioned earlier how my parents first heard the truth was a radio discourse 6:27 that I brother gave a talk on where the dead i had the privilege of times of 6:31 giving talks on WBBR. young minister speaks 6:36 I gave that once or twice I was encouraged to take part in one of their 6:42 bible study groups i was privileged to be on it 6:46 it was a program that was designed as a family bible study but even before that 6:57 quite a number of years ago Fred Franz was on WBBR. imagine him on the air 7:08 and youngsters listening to him: 7:12 "good evening boys and girls I know it's drawing close to bedtime for many of you 7:20 but before you take yourselves to bed 7:25 I would tell you a story . . . "  I had never imagined I'd ever be on a radio program 7:30 of any kind 7:31 and here i was presenting the truth as a part of a program so it was a real joy 7:37 to be on WBBR. 7:39 the success of WBBR  was met with increased opposition so other 7:43 methods were used to keep spreading the kingdom message when I was little 7:49 we never had an automobile in our home but the sound cars big beautiful cars 7:58 but these big horns on top and when they broadcast first music 8:04 everybody came out to listen and every weekend the sum of the what we would 8:09 call today elders would bring the sound card in and station it in our yard and 8:17 from there they would play the records for the neighborhood 8:20 every weekend we had a large group of people listening because of the location 8:24 they could stay and listen and there was quite a gathering during that time 8:30 another time I set up and started wonder brother other four lectures telling 8:35 about the second coming of Christ a few days afterward a person told me that his 8:40 fellow moonshiner was set up in the woods making a run of moonshot when all 8:45 of a sudden here came a voice from above 8:50 he got excited and want to run 8:58 but it could not get away from the sound he finally ran home to get his axe and 9:05 went back up there and chopped up this - 9:11 he said he did not want the Lord to catch you making moonshine and his come 9:16 see him 9:18 personal 9:21 yeah 9:24 we would come up on a porch open our case set the arm in position on the 9:33 record and push the doorbell when the householder open the door we would say I 9:39 have an important message I would like you to hear and we would start the 9:42 record it is often said CJ - did his snare and a racket and why when I was 9:48 pioneering i use the photograph all the time 9:51 I like the photograph this is an upright photograph we have the types that opened 9:57 up and you could balance it on your hip if you were strong enough or you set it 10:03 down on the porch and the message would be heard way down the street and I 10:09 always enjoyed hearing when I put the record on brother 10:15 Rutherford saying religion is a snare and Iraq and I'd look at the expression 10:22 on the face of the people whether they were happy or not 10:27 and I remember they told us now to help the householder concentrate on the 10:31 message it would be good if you would watch the record so we were told to 10:36 watch the record go around and around and around course we will get a little 10:40 bit dizzy in time should not go to the door and shut up to the color the door 10:45 shut up the party party didn't even know what was going on your side of playing 10:49 the record the only thing is with the photograph you always have to make sure 10:53 you have the right record on 10:55 sometimes you would use that photograph at home and you'd play some hillbilly 11:00 records 11:01 I took mom's photograph and it put on my best water plan will be working in st. 11:11 Louis Blues remember 11:12 and so if you got out in service and you happen to have a record that was still 11:17 on there she goes out in service with it 11:19 photograph lets up to live they have an important message and here's a smaller 11:24 playing we would 11:28 some witnesses even nickname the phonograph Aaron because it did the 11:33 talking for us 11:36 that wasn't the only method that was used 11:39 we also used a testimony card 11:42 this one card would have a nice little presentation and with scripture to need 11:47 to show that the householder and usually they don't we read a few lines and they 11:50 hand it back to you so you'd have to finish the conversation and you give it 11:54 to them to read and turn it over 11:57 so some time we had to start giving it to them on the wrong side so they would 12:00 turn into read it on the right side 12:02 so finances Oh what I can just tell me why I'm there 12:06 so which I did and and it - it was a little easier 12:10 some people were a little short on funds and so we would offer to trade so many 12:16 times out in the country they would trade you for maybe a dozen eggs four 12:20 through four booklets or something like that or if it was a book you might end 12:25 up with a chicken or two 12:26 so when you went out and feel service in the country you have to be prepared to 12:30 about pick up many different things usually probably bag the chicken up so 12:35 he was in a bag back in the trunk 12:37 got a little warm for the poor thing but they survived it and bring him home and 12:42 then after we got to chicken out let him recover why we have a nice chicken 12:47 dinner so back in those days we wait a lot of chicken 12:52 in addition placards and information marches had also come on the scene 12:59 and brother won the first of course with the shorthand expert and whenever you 13:07 talk to him and he'd always be busy writing with nobody be writing about 13:12 so you doing that this day and so he ripped it off and he gave it to me said 13:17 what do you think of it and it said religions is here in the racket 13:22 so I said my and that's pretty strong right 13:26 as a matter of fact that that's hot when they said that's what i meant it to be 13:31 so now he said don't think because I didn't know you were going to have a big 13:36 information march and two days from now couldn't brother clay in the printing 13:40 make up some signs written to snare in Iraq and put them on and poles and we'll 13:45 have them for the prey and brother nor was also invited at that time so he and 13:50 I let this pray that sprayed with six miles long and thousand brothers showed 13:54 up for the parade 13:55 it really was a spectacle every second side of your religion is snared in Iraq 13:59 and the bobbies the police gave us protection as we went down Piccadilly 14:07 Circus oxford street right in the centre of London 14:10 we just put on the same which signs you know that had some kind of a message and 14:16 slogans on it and they give us a minus sign that we carried you know and i'm on 14:22 a stick 14:22 we had a religion is a snare a racket then you have to put on the other stairs 14:27 and breadth first wrong 14:28 the on the other side there is so god and christ the king and we want to very 14:34 slowly and down the street and then back the other way and an area and we would 14:39 approach people with a handbill and everybody took them and they were 14:43 looking at the placard they would try to not let you think they were looking at 14:47 you but ten they were they were reading all of the information on the placard 14:51 some people would say something to the effect that you're doing a good work and 14:57 that was always a blessing to me and always remember the sister who looked up 15:02 at the sign that she was carrying she looked back up over her head and it's 15:07 that serve god and christ the king and she looked at the one in front of her 15:10 and the back of that sign said religions to start a racket 15:14 she said well I'm sure glad I don't have to carry that sign 15:17 well she was carrying that side it was on the back of birds but then who is she 15:23 didn't know what she was happy 15:24 they had adult size placards and they had little fill out placards 15:29 well I was only about four feet tall but whenever I got 30 15:33 the little ones were gone so i only got a big one that came underneath here and 15:38 every time i took a step I kicked it with my feet but it doesn't make any 15:41 difference 15:42 we enjoyed working with placards 15:50 nobody ever trained me in the ministry so one day I was at the meeting and the 15:56 brother passed out the publishers cards and I said where's mine he said well you 16:01 know get one you're not a publisher and I said well what's that and he said you 16:04 got to go preaching 16:05 I said how do you do that he said we'll come on saturday and go over there and 16:08 get magazines and then they went out and they pointed me out the door 16:12 I was scared but I just went anyway I didn't care my first experience in field 16:18 service was really cute 16:19 I knocked on the door and they said hello I've got something for you and you 16:25 can have it for a penny or you can have it free if you promise to read it 16:30 I placed one in every door one morning I was taking group out in the field 16:35 ministry and a Navy man shows up at the kingdom hall 16:41 he's got his uniform on and I didn't know what to do so I took him door with 16:46 me and it was really very interesting go i thought it was pretty neat me going 16:49 door-to-door with the guy in the military standing next to me and I'm 16:52 giving my presentations and he's got a Bible were following along with me 16:56 of course later on I learned really it's not the most appropriate thing to take 16:59 someone in military uniform out in a ministry with you but at that time I did 17:03 it so my father and in December said well he's going to go ahead and service 17:07 so I got ready and went with him now 17:09 neither one has ever been out in service before the presiding over Syria and 17:13 handed my father territory and send it to us out together 17:17 my father said you take that side and I'll take this side and that's what it 17:21 was like and of course I was no more prepared than the man in the moon we had 17:25 pioneers come to our house and they studied with us and she decided to get 17:30 it started in the ministry we would begin with Street work but i said no i 17:35 said i don't want to do that and she said well that's too bad you think 17:40 because I can see the book of life now there's the names of your sister is 17:45 written there no Lorraine 17:47 as I got older there was a pioneer brother and the congregation that asked 17:52 if I'd like to go with a mom to work with him he carried a rifle in the back 17:58 of his car which i thought was kind of unusual 18:01 we'd see a rabbit he'd stop the car and shoot the rabbit put it in the car as it 18:06 got toward the end of the day i would ask him did they know of any place where 18:11 we could stay overnight because we were out in the ministry in and that people 18:17 and two different s not recall this when you can stay with us every one of them 18:21 said well we don't have enough food for suffering of the brother said well i 18:25 have a couple of rabbits here if you want to scan the key 18:28 so they did that I don't think that this would work 18:31 now the and caring arrival in the car certainly is not enjoy it 18:37 it gradually became clear that the individual Minister needed further 18:41 cultivation 18:42 so the brothers started perhaps the only school from which not one single 18:48 solitary person has ever graduated the theocratic ministry school 18:54 I recall the time I gave my first six minute talk 18:58 I was not confident in myself so I wrote it down but when I got out to give it 19:03 audience fear gripped me and I started in the matter 19:06 losing my thoughts then there is only two living from the manuscript but my 19:10 hands were trembling so much that the lines were dumping up and down 19:14 Zords gangis 19:17 well I don't know when the minister school started you know and I remember 19:20 the brother gave her first talked and he was so no she was kicking the podium all 19:23 the time 19:24 boom boom boom boy didn't know he was doing it and I was sure is my heart 19:30 could be heard for the first four rows because it was beatings or back that 19:34 sister didn't get talks 19:36 the brothers gave the talks the sisters did we just laughed and giggled at the 19:40 brothers 19:41 I know we were all very very excited as sisters when we were invited to be part 19:46 of the school and I remember we were just I was just so excited I jumped up 19:50 and was clapping the sisters behind me but crying I have to give dogs now i 19:54 know they didn't like it but I was I couldn't figure out why they were crying 19:57 but we were in west virginia and little tiny congregation and guess it was to 20:02 give the first talk is me of course 20:05 so I was scared to death but we did it - I think everybody was quite nervous and 20:12 apprehensive in the very beginning 20:14 so it's really quite a marvelous training program it is 20:17 besides just not just public speaking it's it's a training in life 20:23 this school would prove invaluable and training God's people to use their gift 20:27 of speech and proclaiming the kingdom good news 20:30 but at the same time another school was also having a powerful effect on the 20:34 ministry 20:36 the watchtower bible college of Gillian 20:40 that was five and a half months of some of the happiest of my life 20:45 it would seem like everybody else was a mental theocratic giant so we were 20:50 intimidated 20:52 I guess I should speak for myself mainly how they felt intimidated there and I 20:56 thought that everybody else probably know a lot more than i did a classes 20:59 were delight our instructors were brothers Schroeder brother Maxwell 21:02 friend 21:03 a jak Redford and Bob Porter well tell you a story from brother friend after I 21:09 gave one of my talks and Gilead 21:12 he said to me mr. Brooks I admire your grandchildren 21:17 he said you'll be able to tell them to wonderful bedtime stories said brothers 21:23 Hebrews 4:12 says God's Word is alive he said don't kill it 21:30 by the way you read it I think one thing was the little white house and the 21:36 kingdom in our preaching classes with brother Redford 21:40 I'm telling you that little white house and had a door mill and the door and you 21:45 would get sent out the class would decide what objection you were gonna get 21:51 you come back and I'm telling you to push that door bill not knowing what was 21:56 going to happen behind that door and just see how you handle it it was real 22:01 real real formation believe me it prepared us really for the for the 22:07 ministry and what was ahead of us 22:09 it was wonderful training for the ministry I loved it 22:13 the next several decades will see more new schools and training programs 22:20 but it would also witness a monumental conventions and groundbreaking new 22:24 releases 22:30 more tools to help God's people stay focused on the harvest 22:37 nineteen fifty i don't think there's ever been a convention that had that 22:41 kind of almost electricity in the air 22:45 everybody is excited they're looking forward to the public talk and the 22:50 releases everybody wants to get the new publications 22:53 it was eight days at that convention not sure that people could endure that much 23:00 these and his he's well I was so happy that will happen the convention because 23:04 the people used to think we were just some little dinky religion you know and 23:10 I knew when the Yankee Stadium was going to straighten the mouth of the book but 23:15 when that new world translation in Greek scriptures was released it was it really 23:20 brought the house down 23:21 everybody's express themselves and they clapped and there was cheering and 23:27 clapping and and everybody needed to sit until after the session before they got 23:34 their new books have the New World Translation even though it was the green 23:39 Bible was just such a wonderful tool for us in the ministry 23:45 it was exciting than just like it is now every time you get something new and of 23:48 course you appreciate it more as you use it 23:51 another thing I loved about those conventions and a live orchestra and 23:55 singing with a live orchestra was already exciting but boy when you would 23:59 sit in those stadiums and see all your brothers and sisters it just was so 24:03 heartwarming and made me feel safe inside your hole his organization and it 24:08 was just wonderful every time you went to the convention it was something 24:11 thrilling and when it ended 24:14 we didn't want it 10 this period of expanded activity would result in 24:18 publishers pioneers Bible studies return visits placements and all aspects of the 24:25 ministry reaching record highs the work was growing in more countries than ever 24:29 but most importantly the good news of the kingdom was being preached 24:34 but as has often been the case there was much more to go 24:38 just think of some of the events that you 24:41 have witnessed in recent decades the pioneer service school 24:46 the ministerial training school 24:48 the school for Kingdom evangelizers special Metropolitan Public witnessing a 24:54 newly-designed jw.org Caleb and the become jehovahs friend series 25:02 the revised new world translation 25:06 and now a new language at to further train publishers to learn to speak the 25:11 pure language and multiple languages video on demand an entirely new website 25:19 where people can watch morning worship and other video publications and finally 25:25 a return to broadcasting our own TV station 25:30 JW broadcasting 25:32 taking the Bible's message from world headquarters to the farthest reaches of 25:37 the planet imagine what we will look back on at the 1000 for 1 million 25:43 anniversary of King Aroo the past 12 years helps us to appreciate that God's 25:49 kingdom is real and that Jehovah God has been using that Kingdom to accomplish 25:54 his will on earth today but how real is that Kingdom to you 25:59 looking back on our heritage and speaking to those with years of 26:02 experience will make the kingdom more real to you and will prepare you to 26:07 benefit from that came the governing body have been anxious to get whatever 26:14 they can for the ability of the brothers and teaching him to walk the upright 26:19 world 26:19 oh I think the revised new world translation is is a marvel 26:23 the word love isn't big enough to say how much i love that Bible 26:28 k WR is fantastic I mean my ipad all the time and then using videos i'm i'm in 26:34 love with caleb is keeping abreast with what we need to be efficient ministers 26:39 and fulfill our responsibilities everything at the society has done has 26:44 been proud good 26:46 we're growing faster today that we ever have a general are really moving the 26:52 chariot and we're trying to keep up with it and 26:55 have been very grateful for having Jesus brother's to take the lead for us 27:00 there is no question about the King being

    The Librarian got a reaction from Linda Martin-Jones in LORD OR JEHOVAH?   
    A Circuit Overseer was working with a very humble brother in a rich part of town. When they reached a beautiful house, they met a man who did not hide his hostility. It was the humble brother’s turn to speak:
    Good day Sir. We are here to show people God's name.
    As you can see here in Psalm 83:18 it reads: ‘That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.’
    After a moment the man said: I want you to show me that in MY bible.
    The man returned with his bible and gave it to the brother. The text read: 'That they may know that you alone, whose name is the 'Lord,' are the Most High over all the earth.'
    You see? Said the man with an altered voice - God's name is 'Lord!’ - You understand nothing of the Bible! It is I who should teach YOU and that's exactly what I'll do!

    And the first thing you need to do is throw out your Bible. Give me your name and address! I will step in your home to teach you whenever you want.
    With a pencil and piece of paper ready, the man asked: What is your name?
    The humble brother replied: My name is Lord.

    No, I want to know your personal name - insisted the man.
    My name is 'Lord', insisted the brother.
    You must have a name. What is it? Insisted the resident.
    My name is 'Lord', insisted the brother even more.
    How can you be so stupid? Screamed the man. 'Lord' is not a name ...

    Returning to the man’s bible, the brother answered calmly:
    Well, if 'Lord' is not a name, then throw out YOUR Bible!

    Thats really a nice idea, yes. I was wondering, why Sarah posted always there ? Maybe, she was by starting little confusing on this website... but she is a professional, she knows, what is the best. Maybe, she had any reason, posting  there ? We shall see  ;-)

    Dear Librarian:
    The only subject I saw was JW.
    Is that where I post them? 
    So each make a new category?
    I was posted Preaching the Good News only under that subject.
    i will use your link now.
    Thank you,

    The Librarian reacted to James Robinson in Master List of Kingdom Music   
    Does anyone have any of the New World Records from the 1950 Songbook? I have a few I am willing to share, but I would love to fill in the ones I am missing. It would be great to have a library of kingdom music to listen to. I have music starting with the 1944 Songbook forward. Official music from 1966 forward, with Piano for 1944-1966 from Noteworthy Composer. There is someone on YouTube, music jwpiano that does piano covers of the new songs, with sheet music. He hasn't done any lately, but the ones he has done are beautiful. if there is enough interest, I would be happy to upload. If anyone needs help converting record to mp3s, I can offer assistance also.

    Hi @Sarah Montagna. You are sharing many wonderful photos. ;-)
    Unfortunately you are sharing them all under one TOPIC rather than in a category where others can comment on them.
    If you want them shared wider and more comments I would make individual posts here in the JW "Post a Photo" category:

    The Librarian got a reaction from Carol Ann Torres in Man wearing a JW.org pin at a San Diego, CA Convention   
    Seems as if everyone is selling this pins nowadays.
    We used to be discouraged from identifying ourselves with Watchtower pins or logos in the past. 
    How do you feel about our modern wearing of pins? 
    What would be the arguments for / against such displaying of logos?
