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.
God's New World, Who Will Qualify To Enter

God's New World, Who Will Qualify To Enter.... Bro Joseph Kreashack
As Jehovah's people, we have a goal to make it to the goal to be in the new world. But we need to qualify, what do we need to be able to do?
First we have to accept we need a new world. When we listen to the radio or news, what do we hear. Positive things? No. Everything man has created to help people with, really have failed for various reason. Economic, religions, or human governments. Jehovah has allowed these people...

How to Keep Spiritually Awake.
So disappointed.. had a computer problem and lost my notes. lets see what i can remember
what can happen when we become spiritually sleepy.
we loose enthusiasm for the ministry, for studying for the meetings, for sharing in the meetings,
as well as our attitude towards the elders.
there are ways to correct those weaknesses
reading our Bible and day text each day.

WT lesson first
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Sunday, November 10, 2013,
The brother who was assigned to give the talk, couldn't make it. So they are doing the WT first.
Pg 12 Make Jehovah's Reminders The Exultation of Your Heart.
Ps. 119:111 I have taken your reminders as a possession to time indefinite.
What reason do we have for exulting in Jehovah's reminders?
Jehovah's reminders give valuable insight, teaching us and helping us to avoid pitfalls. We rejoice over the "the good condition of the heart" that results from obeying God's reminders.
How can we b...

Posted by Robyn Nelson on Wednesday, November 6, 2013,
It is just becoming more and more clear to me, that nighttime is a struggle for me. I want to take notes Tuesday night, but I never feel well enough to try. All I can manage is to just listen. So, I'm not going to fret about it anymore. I do what I can.

Does Your Thinking Agree with God's?
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Sunday, November 3, 2013,
Does Your Thinking Agree with God's? Jim Abbot.
There is no shortage of advice that man have written. Why do people search out advice? Because people need help with making decisions.
Human thinking is often based on sentimentality and emotion.
The problem with human advice is it is based on guess work and based on limited experience or to follow your heart.
Man sees all the lawlessness in the world and they are struck with depression and are unable to think, so they seek out advise.

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.
