How to Conduct Bible Studies... Files Posted

The How to Conduct Bible Studies... files have been posted for download from the Helpful Files (Mandarin) page. These files go over introductions from the Reasoning book, how to make return visits, and how to conduct Bible studies in the Chinese field. Traditional and Simplified Chinese versions are available, both of which provide pinyin romanisation. Thanks go out to the one who made these files available.

Also of note is that a password is no longer required to access the files from the Helpful Files (Mandarin) page.

Password Protection Removed From Helpful Files (Mandarin) Page Files

A password is no longer required to access the files from the Helpful Files (Mandarin) page. This change will gradually be made to other resources as well on a case-by-case basis.

The Offline Links Are Back Online

The links that were offline, as mentioned in the previous post, are now back online. Again, sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Some Links Offline Temporarily

Some of the links will be offline temporarily while a problem with the web host is attended to, including the links for the Chinese courses and those for the km magazine presentation and computer-generated NWT audio files. The br. who arranged for this web host for us tells me it should be resolved in a few days. If there are some files you need during the next few days that are offline, just email me and I will send them to you directly. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

I have decided to delay the release of the next Links update until this is resolved, to help ensure a good experience with it for everyone. It should give me time to squeeze in at least one more goody...

More Philadelphia Course Audio Files

More audio files have been received for the Philadelphia Mandarin course, replacing and expanding upon the audio files previously available. The audio files for this course have been reorganized according to the lesson they are for, and new download links have been created for them on the Philadelphia Chinese Course page.

Audio File for 2nd Apr. 2007 g km Presentation

The Mandarin audio file for the presentation for the Apr. 2007 g from the Apr. 2007 km has been posted to the km Presentations Audio Files page.

Audio Files for 2007 Mem. Invitation

The Cantonese and Mandarin audio files for the presentation from the Feb. 2007 km for the 2007 Mem. invitation have been posted to the km Magazine Presentation Audio Files page.

UPDATE: Since there are now files for presentations that are for publications besides the magazines, and since there may be more in the future, the title of the km Magazine Presentation Audio Files page (as it is called in recent Links emails) has been changed to km Presentations Audio Files. The links in recent Links emails with the old title will continue to work, since the Internet address has not changed.

Audio File for 2nd Feb. 2007 g km Presentation

The Mandarin audio file for the presentation for the Feb. 2007 g from the Feb. 2007 km has been posted to the km Magazine Presentation Audio Files page.

New km Magazine Presentations Page File, Format

The Mandarin audio file for the km presentation for the Feb. 15, 2007 w has been posted to the km Magazine Presentation Audio Files page.

Note also that the page’s format has been updated to make it easier to find a past presentation, which may be adapted and reused for presenting something else. As it now says on that page:

The presentation files linked to below are listed in chronological order based on the magazine issue they were originally for. However, note that the presentations have a basic structure of:

1. Discussion on a theme


2. Reading of a scripture


3. Offer of a magazine

So, it is relatively easy to adapt them for offering other literature as well by just changing the last element to whatever you want to offer, such as a brochure, a book, or a different magazine. To make it easier to find and reuse the presentations that have a particular theme or that use a certain scripture, an index is provided at the end of this page. Also, links in the Index Items column may be used to go to the indicated item in the index to see what other presentations there are with the same theme or scripture.

Since it is now much easier to find, adapt, and reuse them, I plan to eventually repost all the presentation files that are older than those currently on the page. I plan to continue to create and post new presentation files as well, as time allows. Since my time has been limited lately, though, I will be focusing first on Mandarin files, since that seems to be the more active field currently. However, I also plan to continue to produce Cantonese files when I can, since that is still a big field. In fact, the idea for this page and its audio files first came from an email exchange I had with a brother in the Cantonese field.

Simplified Chinese & pinyin files for the following are now available from the Publications (Mandarin) page:

• Reasoning Book - Introductions

Audio files for the Kingdom News No. 37 Presentation in the Sept. km

Audio files for the Kingdom News No. 37 presentation in the Sept. km have been posted to the km Magazine Presentation Audio Files page. Both Cantonese and Mandarin versions are available.

Audio Files for Sept. g km Presentations

The audio files for the km presentations for the special Sept. 2006 g have been posted to the km Magazine Presentation Audio Files page. The 2006-09_g-M.zip file is for the presentation in the Aug. 2006 km, and the 2006-09_g-M2.zip file is for the presentation in the Sept. 2006 km.

New km Magazine Presentation Audio Files

Cantonese & Mandarin audio files for the 2006-07-15 w km magazine presentation and a Mandarin audio file for the second 2006-07 g km magazine presentation have been posted to the km Magazine Presentation Audio Files site.

I originally hoped to keep up with all the km magazine presentations in both Cantonese and Mandarin, however, time constraints have prevented me from doing so. My goal now is just to create and post audio files for as many current magazine presentations as I have time for.

If any of you (as individuals or teams):

• can read out Cantonese or Mandarin well,


• are set up to produce .mp3 files,


• and are willing and able to help out with creating km magazine presentation audio files,

produce a sample .mp3 file of a km magazine presentation and email it to me, and we'll see what we can arrange.
