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.
Didn't get the theme

Bro Marty Botten from Superior
1) Today mankind has a backwards view of how to get along.
Matt 7:12... all things ...you want men to do to you, you likewise do to them...
So we need to treat people the same way we want to be treated.
2) How to find happiness. Many people struggle to find happiness. The popular view is to find happiness we need many material things.
Eph 2:2&3.... you walked according to...the air of the spirit...doing the things of the flesh...
It is Satan's system, it is in the...

Do You Harbor Resentment?
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Sunday, September 22, 2013,
Bro Kreshack? from Ladysmith?
I will never forgive that person EVER! have we ever said or thought that? Do we take offence easily? Do we harbor resentment or hold a grudge?
Ecc 7:9... do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended... offense rests in the bosom of the stupid ones
James 2... we all stumble many times...
We all make mistakes, we all offend people at times.
The problem lies when someone says something, and we take offense quickly and easily, when it was a misunderstan...

Tonight is yet another struggle... i'm just too sick tonight. Nights are a lot harder on me, and tonight... concentrating is just not happening. But I will keep listening and I will try to take a note or two.

God Comes First in a Successful Family Life
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Sunday, September 15, 2013,
Bro Jamie Uler... from Ladysmith
God Comes First In A Successful Family Life.
God created the family unit, first the man than the woman. He made them to be as one.
Heb 13:4...Let marriage be honorable....
it should be considered precious.
Since God created the marriage and family arrangement, shouldn't it be more successful? so why are so many marriages breaking up.
When you buy something that needs to be constructed and maintained, is it the manufactures fault if it doesn't work when you don't e...

Why be Guided by the Bible
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Sunday, September 8, 2013,
Why Be Guided By The Bible.... Fred Royce
there are so many people who try to give guidance. But we have seen time and again, that the guidance doesn't hold true. That it only applies for a short time.
Job 38:31-33... can you call forth....constellations... have you come to know the statutes of the heavens...
There are more stars than we can count. Jehovah has put each one in it's place and his laws keep it there.
Pro 30:24...there are 4 things that are the smallest of the earth, yet they a...

Tuesday night
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Wednesday, September 4, 2013,
I am only going to take a very few notes tonight. I didn't get anywhere near enough sleep last night and my brain is horribly slow tonight... well all day i have been super slow. So i am just going to jot a note or two.
in the Jeremiah book...
It always gives me goosebumps when we go through information about how the world is having to recognize Jehovah and his organization. Not that the point was helpful or something I need to apply, but just because it makes me feel good.

Communication Within The Family and with God
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Sunday, September 1, 2013,
Communication Within the Family and with God........ Ty VanDeVoort
1 Cor 14:9...speech easily understood can be applied
Medical terms are not easily understood, we need them put into laymen's terms.
Communication in the family, effects children as well as marriage mates, either to the benefit or detriment of the family. We also need to adapt our communication to our children as they grow so that it can be most effective.
Gal 6:4... let each one prove what his own work is...
We need to n...

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.
