I just got back home from the District Convention. I was standing in an area behing where there was designated seating for handicapped and elderly. When the speaker mentioned "this generation", an elderly brother tapped a woman who wasn't sitting in front of him. He did it in a manner that suggested to me it was something very important to both of them. Driving my folks home, the conversation at one point went into the generation subject again. They were elated to say the least. They finally understood it. I explained it to them several times prior to the WT study that focused on the very subject. They didn't even realize that lesson was a change from previous understanding. Being honest, had I not been on this board, I might not have noticed the importance of it. So to hear them discussing the subject again and being so happy kinda irritated me. Two months from now, I'll probably have to explain it to them again.
Personally speaking, the Joseph & Co. strategy doesn't seem like a bad way to illustrate it. The audience today ate it up, hook, line, sinker. I spoke to a woman with the most adorable children,in the parking lot about it, and she made the statement, "it's new light I guess", "I'm glad they made it clearer for people!" I couldn't help but think, she might be a poster on here, or another board. The way she said what she said, and the way she stared at the pavement while discussing that point. She seemed somewhat uncomfortable about it. I started to engage her, but decided to hit the road. Been a long three days.
