For many years, part of our
daily activity schedule has been to have
live readings of THOTH
almost every morning after the Reminder.
Although this has been a great Service and
unifying activity among our members, it has also
taken much of the Mission's
time and energy to ensure there was always a
person ready to read every morning, they read
the selection correctly (pronunciation, audio
quality, and so on), etc. Also, many of
our dedicated readers are aging, and more and
more we would prefer to relieve them of any
responsibilities and allow them to focus more on
returning to God, preparing for next lifetime,
etc. (any service for the Mission
should be purely volunteer, not with a feeling
like if they do not do it, no one else will!).
Therefore, we have decided to automate the
morning readings as well (so our entire Paltalk
service, mornings and evenings, is fully
automated). Now, every morning the audio
recordings of THOTH
created in the
THOTH
recording project play in the proper order,
without anyone having to worry about being ready
to read, that their connection is good, etc.
This change has also allowed us to add
evening THOTH
readings as well. The evening schedule is
now exactly the same as the morning, with the
Reminder, a THOTH
reading (same as the one for that morning), and
then 30 minutes of meditation/contemplation on
what was previously read.
We hope these changes will both provide new
options for those who want to listen to
THOTH
readings, as well as ease the burden on our
dedicated and hardworking readers for all these
years!
If there are individuals that still wish to
read together regularly as a community activity,
purely for the Joy of sharing God's Word, a
project could be started to set this up.
However, it would need a dedicated project
manager to organize and oversee it (set up a
place to read, work out the details, etc.).
