Jehovah’s KingdomMilledgeville, Gaby ART (your inner voice) A relative of mine, Lillian Cody, sent me an invitation. Then, one day while working, I heard a knock at the door. I knew it was the Jehovah’s Witnesses, so I did not answer, even though I wanted to, but I was on the phone. I finished my phone conversation and headed out to see who was there and my guess was confirmed, The Jehovah’s Witnesses. Thinking of my invitation, I greeted them. We talked and they invited me to their Hall. So, for the first time in 53 years of living, I attended a service at the Kingdom Hall. You know, I had heard so much negative about the Jehovah’s Witnesses, that I had made up in my mind, not to ever attend nor get too close to them. When I saw them coming, I would take action accordingly, to avoid them. There has been times, they came to me and I have attempted to discuss with them, to no avail. They just did not want to hear it. However, after my experience yesterday, all of that has changed. I was a bit nervous, but they did all they could to make me feel welcome and an excellent job, I must say. Not long afterwards, I saw the lady that had come by my house. Her name was Lucy and she gave me a warm and friendly welcome and the service started. During a weekly program of Bible discussion, we read and discussed bible verses. I still can not remember the name of the speaker for that day, but he was a very well informed man. You know, I try not to remember too much! He talked about LOVE, how can you love God and not anybody else? He used wives as an example: You say you love your wife, but would you be willing to die for her? What about for anybody else, you call yourself loving? For our youth, he mentioned go to the bible to get knowledge and that will set you straight for all other challenges in life. I really enjoyed their fellowship. Now, I have to see how I am going to act the next time they come to my door…art Jehovah’s Kingdom, 110 O’Connor Dr., Milledgeville, Ga 31061, (478) 452-2597…. Everyone is welcome and NO COLLECTIONS! PS. I asked, how did you build this church, with NO COLLECTIONS and they told me “they did it themselves”. So I have to go back to learn how.
