about two months ago, i got an email titled, "think way back".
it was from a woman i knew when we were both in the 6th grade in 1956. we were good friends for a few months, when i briefly attended school with her.
we bonded and became very close in the 3 or 4 months that i knew her.

This has upset me, I have always since a young boy enjoyed following the space program, and woke up very early whilst still very young (11) to watch the first moon landing, that was fantastic.
I can remember when Challenger blew up, I remember exactly where and what I was doing (January 1986). I will remember today as well. We all will.
What young boy never dreamt of being an Astronaut? Sadly this dreaming (we can dream) was brought to an end, when I became a JW. Any one else had dreams curtailed by the WT?
Just a thought from statistics from the BBC site In its 113 launches the space shuttle has failed only twice. In itself that is a good record but it is still high when translated into everyday terms. If the same statistics applied to everyday travel then anyone who drove their car to and from work once a day would be lucky to live to the end of the month.
Early this week I was out in the yard looking at the night sky watching a bright light moving swiftly thru the sky, thinking was this the Shuttle Columbia or just a satellite, I will never know, at least the crew lived a dream, we can only dream.
Just my sad thoughts and God bless the families of Columbia.
In the words of the prophet Isaiah, "Lift your eyes and look to the heavens. Who created all these? He who brings out the starry hosts one by one and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing."
The same creator who names the stars also knows the names of the seven souls we mourn today. The crew of the shuttle Columbia did not return safely to Earth, yet we can pray that all are safely home. May God bless the grieving families, and may God continue to bless America. Mr Bush

10 min: talk by elder.
"help at the right time" highlight that the special effort being made to assist those who are inactivate reflects jehovahs loving concern for his people.. .
help at the right time.
Many times I asked them (elders) for help by a upbuilding visit, maybe a prayer when I was a my lowest mental state ever in my life, do you know what?.they never showed the slightest interest in my problems, and when I read this KM article all I can think of is Hypocrisy, these loving gifts in men do not care at all about the brothers and sisters, they have to be ordered by the WTS to visit and help those that have missed meeting, and not been out in the service.
Now is the right time for the elders to provide such ones with needed help
Why now why not when we really needed help? This sound to the RF that divine direction is being given, and last week, last month, last year, was not Jehovahs right time no but now. Food at the proper time this make me so angry..

10 min: Talk by Elder. "Help at the right Time" Highlight that the special effort being made to assist those who are inactivate reflects Jehovahs loving concern for his people.
Help at the right Time
1 When the apostle Peter saw a need to strengthen fellow believers, concern moved him to give them loving reminders and encouragement. (2 Pet. 1:12, 13;3:1) He urged 'those who had obtained a faith' to keep growing in spiritual qualities so as not to become "either inactive or unfruitful regarding the accurate knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." (2 Pet, 1:1, 5-8) Peter's purpose was to help them make the calling and choosing they had received from Jehovah sure, so that they might "be found finally by him spotless and unblemished and in peace." (2 Pet. 1:10, 11; 3:14) For many, his encouragement proved to be help al the right time.
2 Today. Christian overseers have similar concern for God's people. In these "critical times hard to deal with," many servants of Jehovah must contend with trying circumstances, (2 Tim. 3:1) Because of ongoing financial, family, or personal problems, some may feel as did David: "Calamities encircled me until there was no numbering of them. More errors of mine overtook me than I was able to see; they became more numerous than the hairs of my head, and my own heart left me." (Ps.40:12) These pressures can become so great that such ones may neglect vital spiritual matters and stop having an active share in the Christian ministry. Yet, despite their difficulties, 'they have not forgotten Jehovah's own commandments.' (Ps.119:176) Now is the right time for elders to provide such ones with needed help. Isa. 32:1.2.
3 To meet this need the elders have been encouraged to make a special effort to assist those who are not currently having a share in the preaching work. A concerted effort to accomplish this is now in progress and will extend through the month of March. Book study overseers are being asked to visit inactive ones to offer spiritual assistance with a view to helping them renew their activity with the congregation. Where there is a need, a personal Bible study may be arranged. Others may be asked to assist. If you are invited to do so, your efforts could be very beneficial, especially if you give encouragement in a kind, understanding way.
4 There is reason for all to rejoice when someone resumes his activity with the congregation. (Luke 15:6) Our efforts to encourage inactive ones may truly result in "a word spoken at the right time for it."-Prov. 25:11,
