They will also have their share of talks about going online, going to college, and getting a career going (all sins). They will tell people to give up those items so they can make more time for pioneering. Of course, they will have their fake experiences about how people gave up all those things, and are now pioneers (as if that were a blessing in of itself). And there will be the symposiums against worldly associations, fornication, listening to real music (there are 225 songs you can listen to without Brother Hounder showing up), and spending
too muchany time in entertainment or recreation.I think they should just take all those shopworn talking points and put them into one talk so I can just sleep through it...

"Guided by the Spirit of God" as interpreted and channeled by the WTS/FDS/GB.
*** w06 5/1 pp. 19-20 par. 11 Shepherds Who Are "Examples to the Flock" ***Likewise today, shepherds promote joy and peace in the congregation by being good communicators. When problems threaten the peace of the congregation, they meet together and openly express their feelings. They respectfully listen to their fellow shepherds’ comments. (Proverbs 13:10; 18:13) After praying for holy spirit, they base their decisions on Bible principles and on guidelines published by "the faithful and discreet slave." (Matthew 24:45-47; 1 Corinthians 4:6) Once a Scripturally sound decision has been made by the body of elders, each elder yields to the direction of holy spirit by supporting that decision even if his personal opinion was not endorsed by the majority. Such modesty promotes joy and peace and sets a fine example for the sheep in how to walk with God. (Micah 6:8) Are you modestly cooperating with the Bible-based decisions made by the shepherds in the congregation?
*** w05 6/1 p. 11 par. 7 Jehovah Safeguards Those Who Hope in Him ***Jehovah also provides ongoing guidance through his Word, his organization, and his holy spirit. Under the direction of "the faithful and discreet slave," God’s people around the world are like an international family.
*** w93 1/15 p. 24 par. 18 Why Guard Against Idolatry? ***No wonder Jehovah’s people were to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols! Loyalty to God, acceptance of guidance by his holy spirit and organization, and determination to avoid involvement with demonism also prove to be powerful incentives to guard against idolatry today.
*** w79 7/1 p. 25 par. 2 How Jehovah Guides His People ***So, during this Christian era, he lovingly appeals to righteous-hearted persons to come and associate with his approved organization, and then guides them gently by means of holy spirit, his inspired Word and his truth-dispensing organization on earth.
*** w52 7/1 p. 396 Giving God’s Word First Place in Our Lives ***To be properly guided by God’s Word we also need the help of his theocratic organization, for it was for its benefit primarily that God gave us his Word, and his holy spirit does not operate independently of his organization, no more than it did in the days of Jesus and his apostles. Were each one of us to determine individually what to teach and our manner and place of preaching, what confusion there would be! But we are told: "God is a God, not of disorder, but of peace."—1 Cor. 14:33, 40, NW.

Guided: Traffic lanes, lights and signs guide a person in every country. If you don't follow the guides you wind up lost or create a car wreck.
I think we just have to wait for the big crash.
