I realize there are many reasons to go to an Assembly, or Convention, and when my children were living at home they would go to others' conventions for a variety of reasons, as well as their own.
I would always ask them when they returned home "What did you learn that was new?" . This was important to me as I had to work long hours to afford to finance their explorations and socialization, which I thought was important ... but I still expected them to learn something new ... and since I was paying for their travels, to tell me what was going on.
Generally, attendance to an out of town Convention nearby would cost about $200 a day, times three days, so that would be $600.
Now that I am retired, and my income has been cut by about 80%, it's even MORE important to me to want to get good value for the time and money I would be spending for my wife and I to spend three days, traveling out of town, to learn something of lasting value .... something worth at least three days of our time, which is painfully obviously shorter, and the what is now considerable effort and considerable expense.
In Engineering it's important that the "Law of diminishing returns" be observed so that you do not go physically, mentally or emotionally bankrupt.
Perhaps I am just asking for some encouragement that the effort is worth the cost and effort, and that the benefit is worth it, so if I may ask ......
WHAT DID YOU LEARN THAT WAS NEW AT THE 2019 "LOVE NEVER FAILS" REGIONAL CONVENTION ?

Well I think we all have our own personal experiences and private logic behind what we believe to be true. That being said this was definitely written from a private logic, none of these things are my true for me personally. Men and women alike can grow past any and all stereo types, however it is a matter of choice. Will we choose to make decisions that make us a more well rounded, happier individual? If the answer is yes then so be it, if the answer is no well then this is where you’ -
Interesting. They have created a condition where they believe the "world" of 2 Tim 3:1-5 includes everyone else on the outside. The disciples of Christ left the "world" of their own people to follow him. It seems clear that these scriptures were being applied to those they had left behind. Sounds familiar, doesn't it. Just today, I was comparing the GB and their living conditions and status, to what Paul wrote in 1 Cor. 4:9-13: "For it seems to me that God has put us apostles o -

Absolutely! JW's makes every effort to separate themselves from "world". As product of that work they formed "Spiritual Paradise" and inner spiritual connections. In such atmosphere and condition today, and as in the past, Bible verses in 2 Tim have nothing with "worldly people", because even Paul addressed his Letter to Brothers and Sisters, Congregation/s as warning and advice how to maintain in faith. -

You don't have to, you can unknowingly reside with them verily easily, as many, many have. As said, they can get you indirectly. You have to be concern with the real enemy, likewise, of what God's people have been doing since Bible times, did you forget the verses concerning such? It isn't about living in fear, it is about being vigilant, however your past remarks comes to question. The Scriptures also gives incite to taking precaution, for what you don't learn from MSM that the vaccine can
