At the service meeting tonight we went over this week's scheduled bible reading at 1) Chronicles 10-12. The brother explaining the Bible reading explained the example for young people:
" What can we learn this week young people from Rehoboam's example? That when you have problems as much as you may be inclined to seek the advice of your fellow peers you should seek out the "older men" in the congregation for help. The elders are here to guide you in the right direction. And of course your parents can help also.
So parents are listed second?? I'm not a mom but I know that when I become one I would want my child to come to me before going to someone else no matter who they are. And of course there is no mention of going to God himself.
"We also urge you young people to pusue spiritual goals like pioneering while still in high school." Did I hear that correctly? What ever happend to 'during summer vacations?' and 'once you graduate?'
We also have a new assembly hall being built in Georgia. The accounts report was also being announced and it was said that 5 million dollars has already been donated towards the new assembly since Novermber. 5 million?? Where does that money come from??? That can't all be from people dropping just dropping in a couple dollars in the contributution boxes can it??
