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.

Stand Still and See the Salvation of Jehovah.... bro Faggerstrom
The world is clearly a big mess.
Jesus' disciples asked Jesus when the end would come.
Rev 16:14... expressions inspired by demons...God's war
What are we going to be doing when that war hits? Do we fight? We are going to need to know what to do, because that war will effect the entire earth.
In wars today, we can either join in the fighting, or stand back and watch or get out of there.
But when God's war comes, there will be no wh...

As Christians We Care About Other People

As Christians We Care About Other People....
Jerome Quimby
When we think about all the books and programs about dealing with love, it seems like it would be dominate. However when we look at the world today, does it seem like we are closer to love or further away? In big things and little things it is clear that we are further away.
When we look at creations and the beautiful scene and vistas we see, is Jehovah's way of showing of he does so, for us. The greatest example of his love for us...

As Christians We Care About Other People. .... Bro. Picknell
1 Joh 4:9 & 10... the love of God... he sent his only begotten son... as a propitiatory sacrifice...
& 11... if this is how God loved us, then we are under obligation to love one another...
Ways we can show loving care for others:
1) caring for our families.
today there is a lack of care. But as true Christians we need to show genuine care for our families.
Matt 7:12... all things..you want men to do to you, you also must do to th...

Appreciating the Marvels of God's Creations.... Josh Picknell
From insects to birds, animals from the polar regions to the deep sea creatures. Everywhere on the planet there is some sort of life. How did life get here?
Some people feel that it doesn't matter how life got here because nothing matters. But we know how life came to be here directly effects our position here and now and in the future.
When we look at the stars at night, we marvel at the fastness. How did it all start? Scie...

Can You Live Forever, Will You?

Can You Live Forever, Will You? Bro Gary Hansen
Some plants and animals live hundreds of years older than man. Yet man has dominion over these things. yet man doesn't live as long.
There is limitless potential for learning new things. How many fish or animals or birds do we know? How about insects or flowers. The fastest animal is a cheetah, or the slowest animal is the sloth. But what more do we know about them? A hummingbird has a 2 inch wing span and a California Condor has a 12 foo...

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.
