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.

Special Assembly Day
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Monday, October 28, 2013,
There was a series of 7 questions we were to make a point of applying.
These notes are not of all the talks. Just the talks that answered the 7 questions.
I didn't include interviews or demos and I didn't put all of my notes on the talks, just the main points.
The theme: God's Word Exerts Power ~ Heb 4:12
10am The Voice of Jehovah is Powerful.... Bro. Christianson
What leaves you in "awe"? Does Jehovah's power leave you in awe? What will help us to deepen our view.

Act Wisely as the End Draws Near... Charles Bidlow
If you are traveling to the mts in Colorado. How do you know you are getting closer to your destination. We see signs, we see the mts ahead. We can see we are getting closer.
How do we know we are getting closer to the end of this system of things. We see signs. The world we live in has growing problems. Problems with the air supply, food supply, health, water, crime, disease, natural disasters and the list goes on and on. It is irref...

pain
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Wednesday, October 16, 2013,
i wanted to take notes tonight, but my fingers are in too much pain.
Bro O read a letter constructed by our cong. The letter shares what some in our cong had to go through to just attend the Annual Meeting. It also shares our appreciation for all the brothers had to do to make the annual meeting available to English speaking congs world wide and also how thankful we are for our wonderful new Bible. I think the brothers in NY will really feel our gratitude.

Why Mankind Needs a Ransom
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Sunday, October 13, 2013,
Why Mankind Needs a Ransom. Peter Stewerwald
Man has many important needs, like air, food. But there is one need more important than any other
Rom 5:12... that is why just as though one man, sin entered into the world and death through sin...
In order to eliminate sin and the consequence death, we have to find out what it costs.
Well, Jehovah sent his son to eliminate that issue.
Mark 10:45... even the son of man came to minister...and to give his life as a ransom in exchange for many...
If you ...

Tuesday night
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Wednesday, October 9, 2013,
Super sick tonight, couldn't hardly eat dinner and it is taking all my strength to keep it where it belongs. I wasn't going to take notes, but I was super excited about an announcement.
There will now be meeting for field service Thursday at 10am. Oh, how Jehovah is so generous!! Just yesterday we were all talking as a family of how Thursday would be a good morning for service for our family. But it is hard to meet so early. Leon often picks up Bill at 10am for service because it is just ...

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.
