  1. Hello to all my Spiritual Brothers and Sisters! This year of 2019 is going by so fast!  I know we don't celebrate birthdays, but, I  just turned 62, and I'm retired now, my oldest granddaughter just turned 16, my youngest daughter turns 22 tomorrow! My youngest granddaughter just turned 3! I've been so busy attending two Weddings, one on September 27, 2019! The other one was on October 12, 2019!  Now their Spiritual Husband and Wife! I'm so happy for them! I hope one day, my Spiritual Husband will find me! Sadly, we had so much passing away of our Spiritual Brother's Mother, now his sister! Another Sister lost her Sister, also a Regular Pioneer! Then my Field Service Group Overseer's wife lost her father, the following week her Uncle, and then a cousin, and just last week another cousin!  We just lost our beloved Elderly Sister on Wednesday, October 16, 2019!  She was baptized in 1984, a Regular Pioneer, and I was privileged to work in Field Service with her, and she wanted to have another tea party, and just talk among each other, while enjoying our Spiritual Association together! Also, we took photos of us helping serve The LDC luncheon in April, when they renovated our beautiful kingdomhall!  I was able to go to view her one last time  at the Funeral Home, on Friday, October 25, 2019!  We had her beautiful Memorial on Saturday, October 26, 2019!  Our kingdomhall was filled with her family, and all those who loved her, including me! She was known for her tea parties and she had the Field Service Group meet at her home! She loved wearing hats! The sisters who were able to attend one of her tea parties, all gathered around her picture at her Memorial and everyone took photos!  We have 3 newly baptized Jehovah's Witnesses in our congregation! Two sisters who are sisters, and one brother! I'm patiently waiting on my hearing to see if they approve my disability benefits! Also, I received a phonecall from Social Security, and I may be able to get my first ex- husband's Social Security benefits! So I just keep busy, every Saturday go out in Field Service, and work with different ones in my congregation!  I've been at my congregation now one year! I love all my Spiritual Brothers and Sisters in my congregation, and they love me! I was able to go to our State Fair! I saw a Special Metropolitan Witness Cart on the way to the Fair! I drove my car to the Train Station, and rode the train to the Fair!  My oldest daughter has been hospitalized since June! I was able to visit her twice! They finally found out what she had! Some type of infection through out her body! My oldest son, and youngest daughter keep me informed about their sister! They live in Plano, and visit her more often!  I hope everyone is doing ok! May Jehovah bless all of you! Agape love, Shirley! P.S I hope 2020 is a good year for you! 😀

      Hello to all my Spiritual Brothers and Sisters! Here's an update on my oldest daughter! My son called me last night and told me she's been moved to another room, and she's getting better each day! I poured my heart out to Jehovah to watch over her, she came very close to dying! Jehovah comforted me all this time, I never knew from one day to the next, whether she was getting better or getting worse! I give all my thanks and  I trust in Jehovah, with all my heart! No matter what we go through, good times and bad times, all we have to do is always trust in Jehovah, he will never let us suffer more than we can bear as human beings! Agape love, Shirley!!!😂

  2. Hello to all my spiritual brothers and sisters on here! I'm so excited on Saturday, March 3, 2018, starts our Memorial Campaign. Can you believe it's going to be on a Saturday? In 2017, we had over 2 million in attendance worldwide. This is our most important and special occasion, to show our gratitude and appreciation to our heavenly Father, Jehovah! He gave us his only-begotten son, Jesus Christ, for a ransom for our sacrifice. Sisters, have you chosen your dress yet for the Memorial? I haven't decided yet what I'm wearing yet! But I can assure you, it's going to be beautiful. I love how all the spiritual families dress their children so nice, the young sisters have beautiful new dresses, and the young brothers have new suits, and us sisters, who look beautiful in that certain dress they choose  just for the Memorial! Brothers, look very handsome in their new suits.They pose with their family and take photos, which they proudly post and on Social Media!  I also post my photo, I'm proud to say that I am one of the over 8 million Jehovah's Witnesses in attendance of this momentous occasion. I look back on my past photos I've posted and have on my computer, and just realize that the years are going by so fast. Also, our "Be Courageous" 2018 Regional Convention starts on July 13-15 2018! I can't wait to see our what new releases, and see my former Congregations, I used to attend years ago, spiritual brothers and sisters,  Our Circuit Overseer's visit is March 13-18! 2018 is going to be such an exciting year! Let's see what Jehovah has lovingly prepared for us! Agape love, Shirley

      Hello to all my spiritual brothers and sisters on here! I wasn't able to attend The Memorial for my own Congregation, Dallas West English,by me not having my own car, but thanks to Jehovah, I attended my client's and spiritual sister's Memorial at her Congregation, Beverly Hills! It was at 9:15 p.m. Her family and I went out to eat at Olive Garden! We all went together with her inactve son, and her ex-husband met us there at Olive Garden! Her son had made plans to attend the Memorial with us, but her ex-husband decided to attend the Memorial too! We had in attendance 295, plus 15 people had to stand up! Dallas West English had 220, my former Congregation, Elwood had 315, and One of our Partakers was invited to Euless Congregation, which had an attendance of 615! I prayed to Jehovah for a car, and as soon as I received my Income Tax Refund, I started looking at cars, on Facebook, and on April 13, 2018! I joyfully signed the papers for my 2004 Nissan Altima! This is a wonderful blessing from Jehovah! I had been looking on facebook, for a car to purchase! Everyone turned me down, but this one person. I asked him if he would take a down payment on my car, he said yes! So, that Friday, my daughter took me to his car lot, he owns, and test drove my car, and only seeing the photos of it on facebook , I loved it! I was signing the papers, and he told me the man upstairs told me to give you this car! Also, he told me, he never takes a down payment on a used car he sells, I'm the first! He checked out my profile on Facebook and said I was a Church Lady! He knew he could trust me and make my car payments! I give all my thanks and glory to Jehovah for my beautiful car! I'm so happy now that Jehovah has blessed me with my car! I already have insurance on it, and on the 15th I make my first car payment!  I just turned 61 years young recently, and Jehovah has taken care of me all these years! Sadly, my ex-client Mary, had a massive stroke, and I took her cousin to visit her at the Nursing Home where she's at, and she remembered her cousin's name and who she was!  Her cousin was so happy, she remembered her! I told her that Jehovah spoke to her heart, and put it in her mind to remember her! She is paralyzed on her left side, and can talk, but is not able to get out all her words, and has to be fed through a feeding tube, and has to be turned every two hours, so she won't get a bedsore! It was so upsetting to see her like that! She was always so theocratic, a Regular Pioneer, also regularly attended all the meetings, conventions, and now she can't even move! I know Jehovah appreciates all her precious service to him! He's watching over her, I know she is in his memory! Even though she hasn't passed away yet, he loves her all faithful, devotion to him! I had to be patient for 10 months, and rely upon Jehovah, for him blessing me with my car! Jehovah is a very patient, loving, kind, and merciful God! I love Jehovah with my whole heart, with my whole mind, and whole soul! I hope everyone has a great weekend, agape love, Shirley!!!

  3. DONT GIVE UP!!!! Rely on Jehovah,  all my spiritual brothers and sisters on here! 2017 has been a busy year!  The Special Dallas Cart Witnessing Campaign was a great success of course, with Jehovah's Holy Spirit! I heard that there were 87 carts, over 2,000 wonderful experiences, and 200 of our disfellowshipped, and inactive Jehovah's Witnesses, were drawn to the carts and decided to take the brochure "Return to Jehovah"! Jehovah is calling his inactive servants, and all our disfellowshipped ones  back to him! I also heard that all these, 2,000 wonderful experiences in Dallas, Texas might possibly be on one of our monthly JW Broadcasts! They had over 5,000 volunteers from Waco, Tyler, and other cities! This is the first time in Dallas, Texas,  that the State Fair of Texas held  on September 29- October 22, 2017 allowed the cart witnessing to be allowed! The volunteers had 2 hour intervals and there was always a brother with the sisters!  I'm so proud that our congregation, Dallas West English, was assigned to be a Hub! They met each day at 5:45 to discuss the arranged locations, and of course ended the small group meeting with prayer! Today, is a very special day for me! 9 years ago I started attending my loving, warm congregation!  We have 19 Regular Pioneers, 100 publishers, and a few unbaptized publishers as of now!  Were in the last month of December 2017!  What a year we had!   We were one of the congregations to help distribute all the needed supplies to all our brothers and sisters who were displaced in their homes,  by Hurricane Harvey and Maria! Jehovah always takes care of his loyal ones! We've lost a few in death this year, but soon we'll see them again in the resurrection! A beautiful sister lost her life in Las Vegas! 1,000 attended her funeral! Puerto Rico, Mexico, Rockport, Texas, Houston, Florida, all these places were destroyed by these hurricanes!  I heard reports on JW. Org, they are rebuilding their homes, assembly halls, and kingdomhalls! Jehovah comforts those who have lost their loved ones! He is the God of Comfort!  I pray that 2018 is a better year for everyone! I've been employed with my job now 4 months! I'm still looking for other employment! I 'm getting rides to my meetings, and my field service on Saturday!  I loved our Annual Meeting on October 7, 2017! To be a part of the dedication of our New World Headquarters in Warwick, New York was so exciting to attend! Many new changes are happening in 2018!  In August 25-27 at our DONT GIVE UP Regional Convention in Frisco, Texas, we had 17 new brothers and sisters get baptized, the new releases, and seeing all my former friends from other congregations I used to attend! I took lots of selfies with them! We volunteered to clean our section everyday!  We had 3,236 in attendance on the last day! Jehovah is rapidly increasing our worldwide brother hood! Over 8 million and growing more and more every year! I just wanted to share my good news and events happening in my life here in Dallas, Texas! I hope everyone has a great 2018! Agape love, Shirley!

  4. Hello to all my spiritual brothers and sisters! :D I've recently moved in with a single spiritual sister, who also is my client, and another spiritual sister with her two daughters on September 30, 2017! My lease to my old apartment I lived in for a year, expired! So,  I prayed to Jehovah to help me make this major decision affecting my life! I felt this was the right decision for me, to make for right now!   I now have all my personal belongings in storage!  Now, I don't have to ride buses or trains to get to work! I'm a lot  closer to my kingdomhall now! My client attends a different congregation, so sometimes I go with her, or if I get a ride from someone in my congregation, I attend mine! I'm so proud of my congregation, we've been assigned the Hub! September 29-October 22, 2017, 5,000 volunteers from different congregations meet at my kingdomhall at 5:45 a.m. are assigned to different locations in downtown Dallas. This is the first time this provision under Jehovah's direction, and the Branch, of Special Cart Witnessing has ever been  done during the opening day and closing day of the State Fair of Texas. Since I turned 60 years young, on October 19, 2017 I was able to get my Senior ticket to be admitted free only on Thursday's! I'm also seeking another employment,  so I can buy another car! The sister charges me $275.00 for my rent! We all cook sometimes different meals! I also found out that on Dallas Housing Authority had removed 5,000 names including mine, from the waiting list I was on! So now on November 1st, Section 8 will open up and take in more applicants and stay open! I pray to Jehovah to help me get my housing soon! this is just a temporary move right now for me! I just have to be patient and wait on Jehovah! Sometimes, we have to make major changes in our lives, that were not ready to face! I know my heavenly father, Jehovah will always take care of his loyal servants! My prayers are with all my spiritual brothers and sisters who were displaced from their homes, in Houston, Florida, Puerto Rico, during Hurricane Maria! May Jehovah bring comfort to each and everyone of them! We also lost a beautiful 42 year young, spiritual sister in Las Vegas! My prayers are with her husband, and her six year old daughter! I read there were over 1,000 people who attended her funeral! She will be in Jehovah's Memory! I hope everyone has a great weekend, agape love, Shirley!

  5. Hello all my spiritual brothers and sisters!  I just had to share my two wonderful experiences I had Saturday before my field service and during my field service! I usually have my latest issues in my magazine bag, but I had forgotten them at my house, so I went back to get them. Then I went to McDonalds to get my yogurt parfait! I normally  put them in my magazine bag, but I had left them in my lap, so as I was paying for my yogurt parfait, the cashier said to me "Give me one of those books" I love to read them and look up the scriptures, and bring me some more! Wow, I was so excited, I said Thank you Jehovah!! The next experience I had was in the territory we worked in Saturday! It just so happens that my return visit was in the territory we were working in, so I went to his house too, and gave him his latest issue, but my experience that I'd love to share with you is that in the last house the woman and man were sitting in their car, so I approached the woman and showed her my Watchtower No.4 and she said " Oh I used to read those books , and the man grabbed it out of her hand, and was going to give it back to me, and told me "She goes to her own church" and she grabbed it back and said" I'm keeping it"! So she went into her house and I explained to the man, that were not trying to change their religion, were just carrying out Jesus commandment  to us , to preach the good news as Matthew 24:14 and Matthew 28:19 &20 says!! He did listen to me ! So Jehovah's Holy Spirit and his angels were with me as always!! Agape love, Shirley!!:D

      Wow, This is so exciting to me that you want to post both my experiences for everyone to read!!! These experiences that Jehovah blessed me with Saturday, touched my heart and  I wanted to share them  with all my spiritual brothers and sisters!! Agape love, :DShirley
