My dearly beloved, Greetings from the Caribbean island of Dominica.
Eight(8) of us set out to a mountain in the capitol called Morne Bruce to look out for the seventh(7th) new moon this
Saturday evening 23rd September 2006 and, to no avail. Cloudy sky hindered us from seeing whether or not that the new moon
did become visible this evening.
We can only now depend on you with any confirmation that Yahweh would have furnished you with, if the new moon does become
visible to your naked eyes, providing sky is clear.
On such an evening as this, and I don't have internet at home, and the surf cafe will be closed in the next few minutes,
please reach me by phone and/or SMS e-mail as well with any confirmation.
I wish you a successful new moon search!

The Following Is From James "Jim" A. Meyer, www.PaleoTimes.org, as it was being reported to him evening 23.09.06:McComb, Mississippi, U.S.A.:
The moon was seen in the western skies just after sunset. It was a wonderful experience for these three members of the
McComb area congregation. Have a blessed Feast./ Shalom Johannesburg, South Africa: New Moon
Sighted by the Gets family this evening 6:35 in clear skies over Johannesburg South Africa . Have a blessed Sabbath and
a wonderful Feast. Elder Lionel & Sandra "Meyer, James A." <jmeyer@paleotimes.org> To: "'Augustus
Paul'" <augpaul@yahoo.com> Subject: RE: New Moon Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2006 22:18:59 -0400 Elder Garner
is verifying the McComb sighting. I thought it would be good to have a third party verify it. My calculations and a satellite
map at the time of the sighting indicate that it is possible for that location. I do not know the brethren there though. Lionel
Gets I know really well and would say I am 100% confident in his report. Yahweh bless, Jim
Sunday evening 24th September 2006 Reporting
Dear Everyone in Messiah, Greetings again.
It is probably that you are not going to see this reporting
from me as being a report in support of this Sunday evening 24th September 2006 as being the new moon Feast of Trumpets
evening for here in Dominica being the height at which I have just seen the moon exactly at the same time the sun set at 6:00pm
ECT (-4 GMT) just makes it impossible for this evening to be new moon from a Dominica stand point.
Some new moons do
come out high but the height at which I saw it this evening 24/09/06 exactly at 6:00pm sunset is what is always the height
at which it does be for the second evening.
I was being so frightened from since last evening 23/09/06 and all day
today 24/09/06 that last year's ill experience might have been repeating itself again this year but, from the height at which
I saw the moon this Sunday evening 24th September 2006, I am inclined to believe that it was the clouds really that hindered
us here last evening 23/09/06 from seeing a new moon that would have been visible hadn't it been for overcast sky.
Also,
we here observed last night 23/09/06 the usual Feast of Trumpets sign that Yahweh always gives us in the evening of such a
feast: thunderous showers of rain, lightning and peels of thunder.
Electricity had even almost gotten cut off at Elder
Francis' home where I was at the time last night 23/09/06 by one of the many flashes of lightning and peels of thunder.
Although
I was unsure for Trumpets being last night 23/09/06, the thunderous showers of rain, lightning and peels of thunder left me
only seeing that these activities and the evening of the Feast of Trumpets were related.
We here appear sure to be
on tract with having observed Trumpets from last evening 23/09/06.
I could imagine how assured the membership of the
various Sacred Name groupings here are feeling when they would have seen the second night height at which the moon has become
visible this evening 24/09/06 thus creating a sense of relaxation that a 24/09/06 observance of the Feast of Trumpets here
from 23/09/06 sunset rather appears to be accurate.
New Moon Sabbath Day Feast of Trumpets was therefore being observed from Saturday sunset 23rd to
Sunday sunset 24th September 2006 by all of the Sacred Name groupings here in Dominica.
This
is not to discriminate the sighting in your area which could only have been this evening 24/09/06 which upon becoming visible
to your area, is indeed the new moon and Feast of Trumpets upon close scrutiny.
With the New Moon Sabbath Day Feast of Trumpets now come and gone and behind our
backs, the Sacred Name groupings here in Dominica are now looking forward to the solemn observance of the Sabbath Day
of Atonement (without any eating and drinking) on Tuesday 3rd (from Monday sunset 2nd), the 7-day Feast
of Tabernacles from Saturday-Sabbath sunset 7th to Saturday-Sabbath sunset 14th followed
by the Sabbath Last Great Day on Sunday 15th (from Saturday-Sabbath sunset 14th) October
2006.
YAHWEH'S NEW COVENANT ASSEMBLY (YNCA) In Dominica (near the Dominica Community High School),
where I worship, will be celebrating the Sabbath Day of Atonement on its premises in Savanne Park
(close to Louisville), Roseau, and the 7-day Feast of Tabernacles followed by the Sabbath
Last Great Day at the Dublanc/Bioche Community Centre in the village of Dublanc, some
20 and more miles up North of the island away from its Roseau-capitol base.
All are welcome to join us in observance of all of the Bible-commanded weekly and annual celebrations. Shalom
and Yahweh's praises be our life style, Augustus Paul Roseau, Dominica (767) 245-8369 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LookForEachNewMoon Sunday evening 24th September 2006
Kingdom City, MO, U.S.A.
26th September 2006
Greetings, Brother Augustus, from Kingdom City,
Thank you for your kind reply. Our usual contingent of Believers met yesterday to celebrate the Moed of Trumpeting. Earlier
in the day before yesterday, we lamented that we would not be able to see the new moon due to the complete overcast of clouds.
However, by the time of sunset, the entire sky had cleared of clouds and we had a perfect view of the western horizon. I was
amazed at how low in the sky the moon appeared. We had been looking much higher in the sky, due to the reports of sightings
in the south and southwestern states. We were truly blessed to be able to see it and capture its image on camera.
It always seems that the greatest learning occurs in the "midst of the fire," when there is some controversy. It forces
us to search the Scriptures, our minds, our hearts and Yahweh's spirit to resolve the matter. Such is the case with the determination
of the new moon for this Feast of Trumpets. Whereas I was not clear about how this matter should have been resolved, now I
am. I honor your congregation's decision about the determination of the Feast of Trumpets, as clearly, it would have been
visible to you, had the cloud cover not interfered. The new moon was visible to nations in the lower latitudes, and it was
entirely appropriate that your Feast should be celebrated on the 24th. HalleluYah! That was my lesson learned, that Yahweh
has determined that each nation should determine for themselves the time of His Feasts; otherwise, it is not in keeping with
the commandment to *observe* the new moon. I appreciate your faithfulness to abide in His will. May Yahweh bless you all exceedingly
in this coming 7th month of His calendar!
Blessings!

Dear Brother Paul,
Greetings to you and to all brethren.
We here in the Philippines prepared for the two consecutive Sabbaths, the weekly and the feast of Trumpets (Sept. 23,2006
sunset). As some of the brethren celebrated the F of Trumpets the next day, we felt that what Elder Gets and family saw is
the correct timing which was on the 23rd evening towards 24th day. So October 3, is the atonement day and the FOT will be
on the 8th-14,LGD 15th. 24th night sighting is already very high and we do believed it was the second day.
We have to consider that on the 22nd the conjunction in Israel was noon time and it was about sunset here in the Philippines,
so considering the matured cresent will surely appear the next sunset with about 28 hours lapsed from the conjunction here.
There is only one new moon cresent in the entire world, we cannot say that it did not appear in our country and it is not
new moon...
Thanks for your information.
Yahweh bless us all as we continue to seek Him in spirit and in truth.
Very respectfully yours,
for and in behalf of the Filipino brethren:
Sister Ana
