Gordy, you think it will last 2 - 3 months? I'm surprised you give it that long! I agree with all of you that family worship will be no more than a quicky BS for most, hastily conducted so that we can get to the cinema.

What the Family Worship Evening Arrangement Really Entails
by cantleave inas most people here know the combined book study allows an evening for "family worship".. the co visits march - august 2009 is really focussing on this.
if a jdub family head doesn't do a full evening of family worship and uses this time to do recreational activities he is as guilty as isrealite who didn't use the sabbath for worship.
the result, will of course be same as the unfaithful isrealite, death!!!!!!!!!

Eyeslice, Your comments are very true. To make an evening of family worship work requires skilss and effort. To do this once is hard enough, to do it week in and week out is for most impossible. How long do you think it will be before the WTS brings out a wekly Family Worship schedule out to create a structured approach?

Ynot - Our CO made a big thing about family worship during his opening remarks just before getting into the outline for "The Spirit and the Bride keep on saying come". It was in this talk that the comparison with the Sabbath was made.

Lukewarm, the part of the appointed mens outline where this stressed was
"How can a shepherding visit be used to help a family (ask questions about what they are doing, offer suggestions on what they can do or how)?"
After the MS's were dismissed our CO suggested that we should see all members of the cong in the next 6 months in order to encourage a meaningful family worship. This may have just been his personal thought on how to make application of the outline (a CO expressing his own thoughts - now there's an idea) but it was definitely suggested.

He wasn't aware of Pareto's rule then (should be 80% of the problems caused by 20%).

They keep flip flopping about shepherding calls. Everyone / every family should have a SC, from their group service overseer, to encourage them. It is more essential now I suspose since they don't have the cosy group arrangement. The idea of family worship is to help the sheep feed themselves in order to be strong enough to cope with whatever problems lie ahead, but it a way to control / limit outside activities.

Carla, you know the answer to that one already. If his family have all left the bOrg, he has failed in his commission, will be classed as a loser and his family will be the subject of gossip by the faithful, his only hope is that he realises the truth behind the "truth".
I really want my family to become opposers, i will be able to leave myself.
