I have often wanted to have a page for my meeting notes. Mainly it is for main points that really touched me, or are point I need to work on. Most likely this will be used for Sunday meeting, but there may be some from time to time on Tuesday meetings. I don't think I will be putting assembly or convention notes on here, but I may put a few main points from them on here.
If you review this... please forgive me as I am bound to make mistakes in typing out a scripture or comment. I do my best, but I fall short.
Why Christians Must Be Different

Why Christians Must Be Different. ~Randy Oakley
Most people want to be a part of some sort of group, so they will do whatever they have to to be accepted.
1 Peter 4:2&3... that he may live...not for the desires of flesh... but for God's will.... they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively...
When a person becomes a Christian, he is different than the world.
Duet 7:6... you are a holy people to Jehovah your God...
So they were to be separate from the nations around them and different.
In the...

so so so sick... i have taken all my pain meds that i can take. i have the worst pain from front to back. not just my ribs but my digestive track.
I wanted to hear Lauren tonight, she is a householder. (had to laugh at the fact that Sarah had her be afraid to tell her mom that she is studying because her mom is so opposed to the Witnesses)
Lauren was starting to freak out this evening as it was getting closer to the meeting, so EO went and said a prayer with her to help her have a quiet an...

Sunday's Video & last talk
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Sunday, August 18, 2013,
Here are the notes I took while watching the video at the Kingdom Hall.
there are over 6000 languages across the world. Jehovah's people are earnestly working to give a Witness to everyone.
Learning a language is an intellectual excersice. language is close to the heart. So to Witness in a person'a pitcular language, reaches their heart.
One not only speaks their language, but they also dream and live their language.
Translating requires a team to make sure it is understood. The words are...

I didn't make it to the Hall. My temp went back up and my digestive track has been giving me trouble all afternoon, and it still is. On top of it, I have the full blown migraine down to a dull roar. I'm so tried of being sick. I miss out on everything. So tonight I am not doing any reading and I am just going to try and take notes on the C.O.'s part tonight.

C.O. Visit
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Wednesday, August 14, 2013,
We have the CO this week. But tonight.... Not only am I still fighting the migraine I have had all day, I am running a higher fever as well. My concentration and comprehension is lacking. But that is normal for high fevers. So my notes maybe incoherent tonight. that is why I am only going to take notes during our CO's part. Oh, and it is a sub CO as our CO is busy teaching the pioneer school this week.

How Well Do We Know Jehovah?

Kyle Yullier.... from Ladysmith
ok, I heard the title, but I accidentally erased it, and I can't remember it now..... grrr
The sound today is super quite. I can hardly hear the brother giving the part. I am guessing he is a quiet speaker.
With all the wonderful gifts Jehovah has given us and is going to give us, does it make sense that he would give those gifts to someone who doesn't even know who he is?
John 4:22...you worship what you do not know...we worship what we know...
How can we know Go...

wow... super duper sick tonight. a massively bad digestive flare up. even had to take mega pills for it...not helping yet. i am trying to pay attention... but the pain.... nearly as bad as having a kidney stone... which i could possibly have that going on too... who knows. If my pills ever kick in enough for me to feel good enough for me to take notes, i will... but as for now... it just isn't happening tonight.
Still so sick, but I wanted to post that the local needs was on avoiding the a...

Posted by Robyn Nelson on Sunday, August 4, 2013,
I was so tried, I just couldn't pick out what the theme of Bro Whidicurs talk was. I guess I am still pretty sick from yesterday but here is what I have for notes.
Everyone would like to be free of the problems in life. But no man or government has ever been able to free us
Duet 30:11... this commandment is not to difficult for you... the word is very near you, your own heart and mouth that you would do it...
Jehovah was telling the Israelites that they didn't have to search for it, because i...

1.5 million attended worldwide in 2 days the Annual Meeting of Jehovah's Witnesses on Oct 5th & 6th, 2013 where we received this precious gift from our Heavenly Father.
My favorite quotes from the meetings.
3/2/14
God does not expect perfection of us, so who are we to be nit picky of others?
Keep busy laboring under the Christ, then we won't have so much time on our hands to be critical of others.
If we allow what humans say or do to rob us of joy, then we really are serving humans and not Jehovah.
2/18/2014 it was announced tonight that some things are changing. From this point on, we will no longer be calling our Conventions, "District Convention". It will now be called "Regional Convention". Also our Circuit Assemblies will no long be 2 days, as of 2015 they will be just one day. And Special Assemblies will also be known as Circuit Assembly. (at least, I think I got this info straight. I was scrambling to find a pen and paper when they were giving this info out. Perhaps they will read it again at the next meeting and I can double check the facts.
1/21/2014 C.O. visit: Even if our heart is out of line at this moment, WE ARE NOT HOPELESS!! We can improve on it, start by developing and deepening our love for Jehovah and he will help us.
10/27/13 S.A.D. How to overcome improper thinking.
The more we think about spiritual things, the more the old sinful thoughts dry up. Don't give up, just keep working at it.
Jehovah wants us to keep trying, Satan wants us to give up.
If you have a weak moment, DON"T GIVE UP, try again!
10/27/13 S.A.D. Does it have to take something extreme to move us or could we make changes now? We know we need to, SO LETS JUST DO IT!!!
Awesome quote from our Circuit Assembly 3/16/13... "Let the mind of your Master be the master of your mind".
I heard this in a recent talk: "The Bible says to love your neighbor as yourself. But those with low self worth, if you can't love yourself how are you going to have love for your neighbor?" You must be humble, but not self distructive.
April 15th, 2013 WT quote: 2 Tim 3:16 "All Scripture" does not authorize us to tell others off. Like "the stabs of a sword," sharp criticism often causes much pain and seldom brings any benefits.
WT quote: A struggling person is not a bad person.
Wonderful quote from our speaker (Ken Johnson) 5/19/13... "What defines our faith? John 13:34 & 35 'all will know you our my disciples if you have love among yourselves.' It's the love."
Found this in back of my old Bible: You have to make peace with God before you can find peace anywhere else in your life.
Found this in back of my old Bible: Just because we know what potatoes and carrots taste like, doesn't mean we skip eating. How long can we forgo eating before we become weak and die.
Just because we have heard the same information before, doesn't mean we skip studying and attending meetings, for we will become weak and die.
