Hey, I'm back! Thanks for the help last time. Would you please help me with another of my questions?

Okay, so there's an older sister in my hall who I am really close with and she's been having some troubles lately and she won't be able to make it to the meeting tomorrow. She just called me and asked if I would do her part for her and I said yes without even thinking. Turns out it's the part about offering magazines in July! Now, I've seen a million presentations, and my attendance is getting A LOT better, but I haven't been able to regularly make it to weekday meetings in quite some time. What I've noticed is that the people giving the presentations for the magazines on stage tend to present the sample presentation almost verbatim! Should I do the same?

I look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you everyone who answered my question!! (Especially problemaddict, KateWild, and SyntaxError1974.) I think I'll come back in the future to ask any others I may have! For being so kind, I thought I'd answer a few of yours:

moSIS, how was the COs meeting? Did you learn anything useful or meaningful? Do you really want to become a Jehovah's Witness someday in the future?

I enjoyed the talk, but I really was looking forward to seeing the CO's wife. She's really quite a hoot! Though, you know, the meeting was nice too. :) The CO shared a pretty funny illustration that he usually uses for the pioneer school. Despite the laughs, I think it'll be really useful for sorting out some of Satan's more crafty attacks. Also, yes, I have some hope, I'd like to become one of Jehovah's Witnesses.. but I'm just so underqualified to serve Jehovah. Honestly, I don't see that happening, there are just such better people that Jehovah can use.

(could that be inspired by Moses?)

Well, I am divinely beatiful...

Lol, just joking! It definitely is inspired by Moses. I really feel just so shy and I'm really the exact opposite of eloquence. I feel like he could really relate to my feelings!

What brought you to this little corner of the world?

Right, okay, so, I feel like I answered this a little with my first post. Though, I guess I should be a little more specific. Despite being raised around the truth, there's a lot of things still seem new to me because I never had any sort of regular study schedule at home or attendance at meetings. I tried searching for my questions on the JW website, but you can't exactly find things like, "How much should I give the driver in service for gas money?" on the website. Lol! Anyway, asking my trusty old pal Google brought me here a few times in my searching and I decided to try my Qs here.

First, a little background: I've been around the truth forever, but I grew up in a divided home and my attendance hasn't been regular in service and whatnot. Anyway my dad never took me to the meetings regularly enough for me to be familiar with everything. So, this is my first CO visit where I will be attending both meetings! We already had the regular Thursday study, but I'm not sure what will happen on the second one. I guess I shouldn't really worry about it since it will be the last one like it... but still, I would like to know how to prepare! I can't ask my dad, I think it would make him feel bad, so here I am! Thanks friends! :)
