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

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.
