Watchtower Study, Let Us Help Immediately Those Who Have “the Right Attitude”, Week of December 1-7, 2025, Comments and Responses.

Watchtower Study, Let Us Help Immediately Those Who Have “the Right Attitude”, December 1-7, 2025, Comments and Responses.

“All who had the right attitude to gain eternal life became believers” (ACTS 13:48).

1. In what ways do people react when we preach to them? (Acts 13:47, 48; 16:14, 15).

People can react in different ways when we preach to them: Some accept the message immediately, with joy, just as happened in the first century. Others initially show no interest, but over time they may open their hearts and want to learn more about God.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

It is true that there are many types of people: some accept the truth right away, but it is also true that some do not show much interest at first. However, over time, if that interest is cultivated, they can come to know Jehovah and love him deeply.

When the apostle Paul said in Acts 13:48 that they had “the right attitude” to obtain eternal life, the footnote explains that this verb conveys the idea that they put themselves in a position to obtain life because they demonstrated an attitude, inclination, or disposition that enabled them to attain it. In other words, it is not simply a matter of having a good attitude of heart; sometimes a person does not accept the truth immediately, but later they can strive and adopt the attitude necessary to obtain eternal life.

The account at Acts 16:14, 15 highlights that Jehovah opened Lydia's heart to respond to the message. This shows us that it depends not only on our ability but also on how Jehovah's holy spirit works in each person.

2. In what sense can preaching be described as tending a garden?

It can be said that preaching is like tending a garden because, just as a farmer sows and cultivates plants, we cultivate people's interest in understanding the value of the Bible's teachings.

Sometimes a farmer finds a ripe fruit and harvests it immediately; similarly, while we preach we may find people who are ready to accept the message, and we should help them without delay.

It is necessary to observe and distinguish between a plant that requires care and one that is already ready; in the same way, we must discern the degree of readiness of each person and act according to what they need.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Preaching is like tending a garden because it involves sowing, cultivating, and being attentive to discern when someone is ready to accept the message and attend to it according to their need.

What a farmer does is sow and cultivate plants. We, in a similar way, also cultivate people's interest so that they can understand the value of the Bible's teachings.

Just as in a garden some plants bear fruit earlier than others, a skilled farmer quickly harvests the ripe ones and treats them appropriately. Similarly, in ministry, if people show immediate interest, we should attend to them promptly.

This is the idea presented at John 4:35, 36: “Lift up your eyes and look, the fields are white, ready for harvest.” So, if we notice that someone shows interest, we should attend to that interest immediately, not put it off. As the paragraph indicates, “perhaps in the first conversation we see that the person is already open to the message.” We should hurry to help and guide them along “the road to life.”

IF THE PERSON IS INTERESTED IN THE MESSAGE

3. If we are preaching and we find a person interested in the message, what can we do? (1 Corinthians 9:26).

We can help her immediately begin walking the path that leads to life. To do this, during our first conversation, it's advisable to offer her a Bible course and invite her to attend our meetings.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

A good goal is that, if we see that the person is willing and shows interest, we can confidently offer them a Bible course directly from the first conversation.

We often find it difficult, in a first conversation, to invite people to a Bible study or to attend our meetings, even if the person seems receptive. But at 1 Corinthians 9:26, we are encouraged not to waste time. Our goal is to study the Bible with people and help them get to know Jehovah; so, if someone is receptive, we should not let the opportunity pass us by.

If we find someone interested in the message and immediately invite them to a Bible study and to attend our meetings, we will act just as the text says: we will not run aimlessly or fight aimlessly, but we will be direct and, perhaps in this way, we will be able to lead the person along the path of eternal life.

This paragraph teaches us to reconsider how we approach this situation, because there might be a method we think works. For example, thinking, "It's too soon. How can I talk to him about the meetings if I've only spoken to him twice? I'd better wait a little longer." But there are people who, from the first day, the first hour, or even the first minute, will appreciate hearing that invitation.

4. What experience shows that there are people willing to accept a Bible course from the very beginning?

A young woman's experience in Canada shows that some people are willing to accept a Bible course right away. She picked up a brochure, heard it included a free Bible course, said she was interested, and gave her phone number. She texted about the course that same day and even asked if it would start the next day. She began the course immediately, attended a meeting that weekend, and progressed quickly.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

The young woman's experience, as mentioned in the paragraph, recounts that one Thursday she took a brochure from the cart. The sister there explained that it included a free Bible study, and the young woman gave her phone number so they could visit her quickly. The sister suggested the weekend, but the young woman said she was available the next day. So arrangements were made for her to begin her first Bible study, and she attended the meeting that same weekend and progressed very quickly.

When someone is truly interested, they usually show an attitude of empathy and will be receptive to any comments we can make to help them get to know Jehovah and his Son, Jesus.

It can happen that, accustomed to a somewhat apathetic environment, not very receptive to spiritual matters, we unwittingly become predisposed to think that people aren't interested in studying the Bible or that they won't do so immediately. So these kinds of experiences remind us that perhaps we should change our mindset and be more optimistic, because we're sure to be pleasantly surprised.

5. What should we keep in mind when offering a Bible course? (See also the images.)

We must keep in mind that not everyone will immediately accept a Bible study. In many cases, it will be necessary to first discuss a topic that sparks their interest before offering the course. Even so, if we maintain a positive attitude and show personal interest, we may soon be able to begin a Bible study with the person.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

We must keep in mind the concerns or needs of the person we are going to preach to at that moment. Perhaps they are busy with family matters or have personal worries and need us to listen. We will likely need to talk with them for a while and show interest. If we do this, it will be easier for the person to show interest and begin a Bible study.

We need to maintain a positive attitude; we are the first ones who must change our mindset. If we are positive and show interest in the person, it is very likely that we can begin a Bible study with them.

The example of the plants shows us that each person should be treated differently according to their needs, and this is reflected very well in the image. On the left, we see a retired military officer, and on the right, a very busy mother with her two children. What interests or needs one person can be completely different from what another needs. Therefore, we must adapt to each individual and treat them according to their true needs in order to capture their attention.

Based on the image, on the left, we might talk to the retired military officer about governments and whether there's one that can truly eliminate problems at their root. He's someone who has witnessed a great deal of suffering in his life and can certainly offer his perspective. Meanwhile, on the right, a busy mother with two children might need a brief discussion about parenting, family, or other practical matters.

ILLUSTRATION

Series of images: 1. Two brothers preach to an elderly man sitting outdoors in his driveway. 2. Two sisters preach to a woman at her front door and give her the booklet “Enjoy Life.” The woman is holding her youngest child and her older child is standing beside her.

What would you say to the people in these pictures to encourage them to learn more about the Bible? (See paragraph 5.)

6. What can we do to get the person to allow us to return and continue talking about the Bible?

We can get the person to allow us to return by preferably avoiding words like "class," "course," or "study." Instead, it's suggested to use expressions like "converse," "talk," or "learn more about the Bible."

To show that we would like to return, we can comment on something that sparks interest, such as: “It’s amazing that the Bible answers questions that one has asked oneself all one’s life” or “The Bible doesn’t just talk about religious things, it also gives very practical and useful advice.”

We can also explain that you can learn valuable things in a short time, saying something like: "In just 10 or 15 minutes you can learn things that can help you a lot."

There's no need to mention weekly commitments, to avoid making the person feel pressured or overwhelmed. This increases the likelihood that they'll be willing to come back and continue talking about the Bible.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

We can do what some publishers and pioneers do: instead of using words like class, course, or study, which might sound like commitment or exams, it would be better to use expressions like talk, discuss, or get to know the Bible. This can yield better results.

How can you arouse a person's interest? For example, by saying: 'The Bible answers questions we've asked ourselves all our lives. Did you know that? Did you know that the Bible gives very practical and helpful advice for our lives?' This can spark interest and lead to a return visit.

We can avoid any words that might make the person feel obligated—like saying we'll go every week—because they might interpret it as a duty. We should avoid making them feel pressured so they'll allow us to have a relaxed conversation about the beautiful and practical topics found in the Bible.

We want to put ourselves in people's shoes. We are aware that they are very busy. People have to work hard and fulfill many obligations, and the last thing we want is to convey that learning more about Jehovah is another obligation or another problem in their lives. On the contrary, this is a friendly conversation aimed at giving them ideas that can be very helpful and useful in their lives.

The Bible is a very long book, and a person might feel a little intimidated. But the paragraph says that we could mention that, in just a few minutes, a person can learn and clear up doubts they may have had their whole life.

7. When do some people realize that they have found the truth? (1 Corinthians 14:23-25).

Some people realize they have found the truth when they attend their first Christian meeting. Just as in the days of the Apostle Paul, by being present and hearing what is taught, many recognize that they have found the truth. The same is true today: by attending a meeting, some people feel that spiritual impact and begin to progress rapidly.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Often, the turning point for many people is precisely when they attend our meetings.

While study is the appetizer, we could say that the meetings are the main course, because by being present and listening to what is taught, many recognize that they have found the truth. Therefore, when a student begins attending the meetings, their growth accelerates significantly, and it is very beneficial to mention this even in the first conversation.

Sometimes it can be difficult to invite people to meetings. That's why Lesson 10 of the Enjoy Life booklet includes an invitation entitled "Because it is good for you to attend meetings." Therefore, there's no need to wait until then to invite them; we can do so right away. This will be a special opportunity to emphasize the importance of their meeting with us and how beneficial it will be for them.

Many people, even if they don't understand some things at first, are greatly encouraged just by the warmth, the hugs, and being with their siblings, and feel an impact that motivates them to continue progressing rapidly.

The study note on 1 Corinthians 14:23-25, regarding unbelievers, shows how they benefited from attending meetings because they learned at their own pace. However, there were things that, for example, challenged them or brought secrets of their hearts to light, and this could cause them to react more quickly. The lesson we can learn from this note is that anything said in the congregation, even comments from the platform, can touch the heart of an unbeliever and accelerate their progress.

We also see many comments from brothers who say, ‘When I first went to the meeting, I noticed the affection with which I was treated and the hospitality offered to me.’ So that is a key thing that we must take great care of.

8. If we invite someone to a meeting, what can we explain to them? (Isaiah 54:13).

We can explain that our meetings are simple, organized, and Bible-centered, unlike any ceremonies you may be familiar with. We can also explain that the congregation functions like a family, where we make an effort to know each other by name.

In addition, we can explain that the purpose of the meetings is to worship Jehovah, learn, and encourage one another, that we are neutral on political issues, and that there are no debates or arguments. To help her know what to expect, we can show her the video “What Are Our Meetings Like?”

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

We can explain that our meetings are not ceremonial, but rather educational, organized, and Bible-centered. The congregation functions like a family, and we try to know each other by name, something that may not happen in other religions you may be familiar with.

We can explain that we meet to worship Jehovah, learn from him, and encourage one another. We don't talk about politics or support any parties, and we don't have debates or heated arguments.

We can explain to him that the Kingdom Hall is a simple, well-lit place designed for learning. We can also show him the video “What Are Our Meetings Like?” so he has a clear idea before attending.

It would be very helpful to explain why we meet and what the purpose of our meetings is. We meet to worship Jehovah, as Isaiah 54:13 says, and to be taught by him. And what kind of atmosphere do we have when we meet? The verse describes it beautifully: by doing so, our peace will be abundant. That is why we love to foster a respectful, joyful, and peaceful environment, where our conversations are upbuilding and encouraging.

Isaiah 54:13 says: ‘All your children will be taught by Jehovah.’ This shows us that it is Jehovah who teaches us. However, we must be very careful when explaining the differences between our meetings and those of other religions. We must be respectful, because we do not want to offend anyone.

To give the person an idea of ​​what our meetings are like before attending for the first time, we can show them the video "What our meetings are like," so that they arrive more relaxed.

If we invite someone to the meeting and see that it is prudent, we could show them what Hebrews 10:24-25 says. We follow the command not to neglect meeting together and encouraging one another, especially as we see the Day approaching.

If you think about it, the neighbors only see a black metal door and have no idea what's going on on the other side. Many newer venues use more glass to show that there are chairs and that it's an auditorium, but that's not the case in other places. That's why we can show them a little bit so they can get an idea of ​​what's happening on the other side.

The paragraph highlights other points we can explain, for example, that we don't discuss political topics and that there are no debates or arguments. Consider that some people meet in cultural centers, where the goal is usually to debate or share ideas to find solutions; in those meetings, conversations can get heated. Therefore, it's important to address this and explain that our meetings have nothing to do with that.

Something that really strikes people from other religions is that here we all know each other by name. Furthermore, we're all like family and eager to share news and encourage one another.

9, 10. If we invite someone to a meeting, what can we say to help them overcome their possible fears? (See also the image.)

We can help the person overcome their fears by explaining that no one will pressure them to become a Jehovah's Witness or to change their religion; they can simply sit and listen.

We assure you that non-Witnesses are welcome and no one is forced to participate. There are no separate meetings for children, so families sit together and parents know what is being taught.

No collections or money are requested, following the principle of "You received freely, give freely," and expensive clothes are not needed, because God sees the heart, not the appearance.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

If the person decides to attend, we can help them feel comfortable by introducing them to some brothers and sisters, showing them Bible verses, and teaching them how to follow the meeting. This increases the likelihood that they will return.

Since we know that people often have preconceived notions about us based on things they hear that aren't true, we can reassure them by explaining what our meetings are like. For example, there's an interesting detail in the paragraph: explaining that they can attend with their children, so that they can sit separately. This way, they'll have peace of mind knowing that there's nothing hidden or strange about it, and that it's simply about learning about God.

We can also explain to them that attending does not make them Jehovah's Witnesses, but they can come, sit and listen, and no one will pressure them to participate or change religions.

We can tell you that we don't collect money or solicit donations, since we follow the advice given at Matthew 10:8, which says: 'Freely you have received, freely give.' Furthermore, non-Witnesses are welcome and can simply sit and listen without having to participate if they don't want to.

As we see in the illustration, we can all contribute to making them feel comfortable: being attentive, welcoming them, and making them feel so at ease that they want to come back.

We can tell you that the issue of clothing is not something you should worry about either, because as long as it is decent clothing, Jehovah will look upon your heart. In that way, the person interested will feel welcome and perceive that they are in a pleasant place.

Another important point is that, during the meeting, we shouldn't remain still or focus solely on one person. The paragraph indicates that, for example, if someone doesn't have a Bible, we can show them the Jehovah's Witnesses, demonstrate how to look up Bible verses, and offer them support so they don't feel alone.

In the picture, we can see the woman with the children who, in the previous picture, was being cared for at home by the two pioneers or publishers. As we can see, they surely soon invited her to the meetings, and, as we can see, she accepted.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

If the person decides to attend, we can help them feel comfortable by introducing them to some brothers and sisters, showing them Bible verses, and teaching them how to follow the meeting. This increases the likelihood that they will return.

ILLUSTRATION

The brothers at the Kingdom Hall give a warm welcome to the woman in the previous picture. She is holding her youngest child while her older son talks to another child.

The sooner a person attends meetings, the sooner they will progress. (See paragraphs 9 and 10.)

IF WE START A BIBLE COURSE

11. How do we show that we respect the person's time?

We show that we respect the person's time when, for example, if we agree on a time, we are punctual, even if it's not common practice in the area. We also make the first session short and reasonable so as not to overwhelm the person.

We don't go on longer than agreed, even if the person wants to continue talking, and we avoid talking too much, giving her the opportunity to express herself.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Being punctual at the agreed-upon time and remembering that it's not necessary to start and finish a lesson or several lessons from beginning to end is important. As Proverbs 10:19 says, we need to be prudent, adapt to the person, and listen to them sincerely. In this way, we will show them that they are a priority and that we want them to feel comfortable and for the truth to reach their heart.

We must avoid talking too much. Since we aren't always listened to in the territory, when someone does listen, we might get carried away and try to explain too much. But, as Proverbs 10:19 points out, talking too much increases the likelihood of making mistakes. On the other hand, if we listen carefully and explain Bible concepts simply, we are much more likely to get it right.

12. What should our goal be from the first class?

Our goal from the very first session should be to help the person come to know and love Jehovah and Jesus. To accomplish this, we must teach everything using the Bible and not rely on personal ideas. We center our teaching on Jesus Christ, just as the apostle Paul did, and we help the student cultivate valuable qualities such as faith, wisdom, discernment, and the fear of Jehovah.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Our goal from the first session should be for the student to begin developing a strong faith and a close friendship with his loving Heavenly Father.

Our goal from the beginning has been for them to come to know Jehovah and Jesus and to love them. Furthermore, all the teaching we give will always be based on the Bible and not on our own knowledge.

Paul gives us a very good example at 1 Corinthians 2:2, where he says: ‘When I was with you, I decided to focus only on Jesus Christ.’ How important it is for students to draw closer to Jesus, for in doing so they will also draw closer to Jehovah, and not just rely on what we tell them.

We must remember that we are merely instruments Jehovah uses to help people come to know him and his Son. The apostle Peter set a fine example when he entered Cornelius’s house, as recorded in Acts 10:25, 26. Cornelius fell at his feet and paid him homage, but Peter told him to stand up and reminded him that he was only a man. And that is exactly what we must remember.

According to 1 Corinthians 3:11-15, we are engaged in a work of spiritual edification. Therefore, we must lay a solid foundation: faith in Christ, and also help develop Christian qualities that will enable them to withstand the "fire," that is, the trials that new disciples or those studying the Bible will undoubtedly face.

To endure trials, students need qualities such as wisdom, faith, and discernment. Therefore, another crucial objective is to help them develop these Christian qualities.

When a person comes to know and love Jehovah and Jesus, they will ask themselves questions and seek answers. They will likely reflect and think, “How does Jehovah view this, and what is his opinion about it?” Therefore, this is a key principle that we should always apply to help the person progress.

13. How can we be patient and understanding with the student? (2 Corinthians 10:4, 5; see also the picture.)

We can be patient and understanding with the student by imitating the way Jesus taught. We avoid asking questions that might make them uncomfortable. If they don't understand a point, we continue with the lesson and return to it later, without pressure. If they struggle to accept a teaching, we give them time for the truth to sink in.

We remember that deeply held beliefs can be like fortresses that are difficult to tear down, so we need to help him first to trust in Jehovah as his refuge. In this way, we show patience, understanding, and true Christian love as we help him progress.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

We won't ask him questions that make him feel uncomfortable. And if there's a topic or lesson he's having trouble understanding, we'll give him some time and revisit it later.

If he finds it difficult to accept a teaching, we must allow it to reach his heart little by little through further biblical instruction, so that he himself decides to change, without ever telling him what he has to do.

Psalm 91:9 shows the power of making Jehovah our refuge, and we must help the person understand this. No one abandons their home, even if it's falling apart, if they have nowhere else to go. First, we must offer them that place of refuge and give them time, as shown in the image, for reflection and for the truth to reach their heart. This may not happen immediately, but we are showing them the refuge they should turn to so that, when they are ready, they will leave their "home" and approach the true refuge: Jehovah.

Sometimes, the doctrines or teachings people have held their entire lives are so deeply ingrained that they are like a fortified city that doesn't easily crumble. That's why we must be patient. It's sometimes necessary to approach the matter from different angles so that, in the end, the person recognizes that the teaching, even if it has been present for a long time, is not based on Scripture. Trying to impose our beliefs or force the person to reach the conclusion we want is usually counterproductive.

The last quote in the previous paragraph, 2 Corinthians 1:24, says that we are co-workers in making others happy, and it begins by pointing out that we are not the masters of other people's faith. Therefore, we must be very respectful and present the truth with great tact.

Imagine this person who has been in the military, as we see in the picture. Perhaps he has felt pride in something he did throughout his life and is now learning that this is not what pleases Jehovah. Therefore, it is very loving to help him build a refuge by fostering his friendship with Jehovah before tearing down that idea.

ILLUSTRATION

The man in the previous image is studying the book "Enjoy Life" with two brothers. In the background, on a shelf, two military medals can be seen.

Let us allow time for the truth to reach the heart. (See paragraph 13).

IF THE PERSON ATTENDS A MEETING

14. How should we treat those who come to our meetings?

We must treat those who come to our meetings with love and impartiality, just as Jehovah desires. This includes welcoming them with respect and kindness regardless of their culture, economic status, or place of origin.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

We must treat the person with respect and affection, reflecting that love, because that is what Jehovah God wants: for us to treat our neighbor as ourselves. Therefore, the teaching he receives in the Kingdom Hall must be clear and upbuilding; we cannot be cutting or say hurtful words to the person.

James 2:1-4 highlights the importance Jehovah attaches to this issue. It compares a poor man to a rich man, showing favoritism by placing the rich man in the front rows and the poor man standing. Verse 9 warns that continuing to show favoritism is sinful and that the law condemns those who do so as transgressors. Therefore, this is extremely important to Jehovah.

15, 16. What can we do to make new people feel comfortable?

To make new ones feel comfortable, we can welcome them warmly without overwhelming them. We can invite them to sit with us and help them get a Bible and publications, or share ours with them. We can also make them feel at ease, for example, by assuring them that it doesn't matter if their clothes are simple and that Jehovah's Witnesses are ordinary people.

We can show personal interest without intruding on private matters. We should be respectful when discussing other beliefs, avoiding comments that might offend our visitors. We can also explain biblical terms or concepts that we frequently use and that they might not understand.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Regardless of why they attend our meetings, whether out of curiosity or because someone invited them, we should approach them and welcome them. If possible, we can give them a Bible or a study publication, such as The Watchtower, or share it with them, always being very friendly.

To make newcomers feel comfortable, we can be respectful and avoid saying anything against their beliefs.

Our comments about their clothing should be carefully considered because, as mentioned in the paragraph, a man felt very nervous when he saw that his clothes weren't very formal. However, the brother was kind and told him not to worry, that we were normal people and he shouldn't feel that way. This can also help people feel more comfortable.

Those who give public speeches are also reminded of the importance of using clear and understandable language. Furthermore, we must be careful when speaking about ideas contrary to what the Bible teaches; we do not use irony or words like “worldly,” but rather terms like “unbelievers” or “non-Witnesses.” We speak with prudence because, as 2 Corinthians 6:3 says, we do not want anyone to stumble.

17. What should our goal be if we find someone who has “the right attitude”?

Our goal should be to help the person begin walking on “the path that leads to life.” To achieve this, if we find someone with “the right attitude,” we should offer them a Bible study course and invite them to our meetings, taking advantage of their willingness to learn.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Our goal, as Jesus said, is to make disciples. So, if the person has the right attitude, let's not hesitate to offer them a Bible study and invite them to meetings as soon as possible.

Let's not be the ones putting up barriers out of fear. We can, if we see fit, get straight to the point, because our goal is to start a Bible study course so that people can become friends with Jehovah.

WHAT WOULD YOU ANSWER?

What can we do during the first conversation if we see that the person has "the right attitude"?

During the first conversation, if we see that the person has "the right attitude," we can help them immediately by offering them a Bible course and inviting them to attend our meetings without delay.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Don't wait; it's best to offer them a course or invite them to the meeting. Ideally, it should be on the weekend.

If we start teaching someone the Bible, what suggestions can we apply from the very first lesson?

From the very first lesson, we can respect the student's time by being punctual, keeping the session short, and allowing them to express themselves. We can also teach with a focus on the Bible and Jesus, helping to cultivate valuable qualities such as faith, wisdom, discernment, and the fear of the Lord.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

We can be patient and understanding, not pressuring him if he doesn't immediately understand or accept a teaching, and helping him to trust in Jehovah as his refuge to overcome long-held beliefs. Our goal is for the student to begin to know and love Jehovah and Jesus from the very first lesson.

We can begin by respecting the student's time: being punctual, making the study brief and allowing him to express himself, being patient, not pressuring him to immediately accept a teaching and helping him to trust in Jehovah as a refuge to correct ingrained beliefs, but, above all, making sure that he begins to get to know Jehovah and Jesus from the first lesson.

What can we do to make people who come to our meetings feel comfortable?

To make those who come to our meetings feel comfortable, we can welcome them warmly, approaching them without overwhelming them. We can invite them to sit with us and provide them with a Bible and publications, or share our own.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

We can make them feel comfortable by assuring them that their clothing doesn't matter and that we're just ordinary people. Show personal interest without intruding on their private matters. Be respectful of their beliefs, avoiding comments that might offend them or make them not want to return.

We can explain biblical words and concepts that we use and that they might not understand, especially during speeches or presentations. These actions help visitors feel welcome and more likely to return.

We can put him at ease by explaining that this is a place without ceremony. We can also tell him a little about what he'll find: that it's free, that he'll meet ordinary people, and that he doesn't need to dress up.

We know that our language and manner of speaking can help those who attend our meetings feel comfortable. We have emphasized that the speaker should never disparage any doctrine not accepted by the Bible, and that our words should always be carefully chosen.

One of the defining characteristics of our congregation is how we treat those who participate in the study. From the very first moment, we welcome them with open arms and friendly greetings, making them feel like part of the congregation from the start. This is something that those who attend our meetings appreciate from their very first visit.

One more detail we have observed is that we must be very respectful and, in particular, not interfere in private matters.
