EXPERIENCES!!!

From Brother Dellaquila.
I had a part the other night about experiences in the memorial season. I think
they are worth repeating.

1) Our young sister goes to school, her class mate wants to fight her. Of course
our sister diffused the fight, no hard feelings just a misunderstanding. The next
week, this girls grandmother dies, our sister takes the opportunity to witness
to her. A study is started, they talk about the resurrection, and now they study
at lunch everyday.

2) Our sister is witnessing in a park, she goes over to a woman... Talking about
Jesus. Her little grandson is out witnessing with her, running around and
distracting the sister... Our sister says.... "AJ stop that" then continues
on.... then "AJ stop that"....

finally the woman on the bench says.... "HEY LADY I NEED JESUS!" CAN YOU STOP
WORRYING ABOUT THAT BOY!

(only in the hood)

3) Our sister is shopping for lights at BJ;s, when a man starts talking to her
about his backyard... etc... then he says..."can I tell you a joke?". our
sister says... well not if its a dirty joke.... the man says "wha? are you
serious?" our sister says.. are there curses in this joke? the man says... I'll
make it G rated! Our sister says im one of Jehovahs witnesses and I don't wanna
hear things like that....

Then she whips out her bible starts talking about the rapture.. and Mary
worship... a bunch of stuff... then after an hour she tells the man.. when he
goes home to look up Jehovahs witnesses in the phone book, and tell them that I
sent you!

4) A sister lives in a building where witnesses cant get in. Shes friendly with
the building president, he tells her that hes got an operation coming up, she
asks him about blood etc, and does he know about blood expanders,.. and the
different options... she gives him the blood brochure. He takes it was very
appreciative...

This man delivers the mail in the building too.. So our sister decides to put
magazines in the laundry mail room. She figures the worst this man can do is put
them back at their apartment. So she starts leaving magazines...

at the start she thought maybe someone was throwing them out, but they weren't in
the garbage... So someone was taking them.

8 months goes by...

Our sister is giving a haircut to a lady in the building,.. And they're talking
about how the world is getting so bad... The lady says..." Yea we are living in
critical times".....

our sister stopped, but thought it was a coincidence,

so then the lady goes on.. Says "yea I cant wait till the earth is rid of all
wickedness, and rightenous will be as the sand of the sea"

Our sister says... Where did you learn all this????

The lady says, she's been reading those magazines for 8 months. Our sister offers
a study, but the woman says her son would never allow it. Then our sister offers
to leave the mags at her door, the lady says her son wouldn't like that. The lady
asks her to keep leaving them there at the laundry room for her to take.

5) Our brother is out in service and sees a crowd around a man who just had a
heart attack in the street, the paradmedics show up,... People in the crowd are
talking about how there's no compassion in the world anymore. Our brothers
witness to the woman... Then take her on a tour of kingdom hall... Cause she had
never been there. It eased the tension of going.

After these experiences I asked if there were any other in the hall that would
like to comment about their experiences.

One sister had the lady she asked about sitting right there next to her at the
meeting!

another sister just met someone before the meeting outside who gave her, her
address and she's going over there Saturday!

Oh there's a lot of work being done.
And more and more people are getting the truth informally.
