Walk with God 2004 DC SUNDAY
10:00 Guard Against Abandoning the Straight Path Illustration : if you are walking down a straight path and you come to a fork in the road, which path do you take? (Anyone catch the error in this illustration?) Some have been mislead, like ?dog returning to vomit? 2 Pet 2:20-22 The Word (Bible) is our map. FDS is our own personal guide, point out way along map, provide reminders. JWs have faith ?in Jehovah and the organization? Lies and half truths from media are launched by apostates. Like Eph 6:16 burning missles. ?Put this shield over your head?. FDS builds faith, keeps organization clean, and enlarges shield.
10:20 Youths-Walk in the Path of Righteousness Encourage youth to respond correctly to worldly question about birthdays and holidays. ?The timid say: 'JWs dont do that' 'or ?My parents won't let me'.? Two demos showing elementary grade boy and father discussing holidays and teenage girl and mother about refusing drugs (encouraged to make their own decision and speak up for themselves instead of quotes above.) Experience of girl ?speaking from heart? to teacher about rejecting extra-curricular activities. Experiences of 3 boys: school age keeping 10 hour average, regular pioneer, and MS training school graduate.
11:10 DRAMA: They Bore Thorough Witness to the Good News
11:55 Bear Thorough Witness Today Despite Opposition (See separate post for drama parts.)
2:00 Public Discourse: Walking With God Brings Blessings Now and Forever We should not make decisions. Let God. We are not robots, should use ?power of reason? Rom 12:1. Example of Noah at odds with majority. Enoch lived at the same time as Adam, got information from Adam because Enoch wanted to walk with God. (Wasn?t Adam a condemned apostate?) Enoch did not associate with the ?Enosh group?. Great crowd is unified Rev 7:9. Like 1 Pet 2:21 ?model to follow closely? we are beginners, never think you know everything. (I can guarantee that of any head-in-the-sand JW) Considering age of universe, Jesus? age over 12 billion years old. During 40 days he learned of this and still remained humble.
2:50 Summary of the Watchtower Took a nap.
3:20 Walk Worthily of Jehovah, Fully Pleasing Him This is the final summation which traditionally contains JW news from around the world. This time the reports were absent, but we learn the Memorial attendance for US was 2,303,015 an increase of 29,159. There was a special address to inactive JWs quoting 2 Cor 6:1,2. Ps 91:1,2 ?secret place? apply to protection from Satan, especially for the anointed. Invitation to people of all nations, ?thousands, perhaps millions to join us.?
