[Watch!] “Many people are concerned about the serious problems and shocking events that are common today. [Cite an example known locally.] Did you know that such things are part of a global sign that shows that God’s government is soon to take control of earth’s affairs? [Allow for response. Then read an appropriate scripture text, such as Matthew 24:3, 7, 8; Luke 21:7, 10, 11; or 2 Timothy 3:1-5.] This brochure discusses why it is especially urgent to be alert to the significance of these events now.”
[When Someone Dies] “I am doing a public service in behalf of all who have lost a loved one in death. Since this may be one of the hardest things any of us will ever have to cope with, this brochure, When Someone You Love Dies, has been prepared. It has helped millions of people. I would like to show you what it says about an exciting promise made by Jesus Christ. [Read the fifth paragraph of chapter 5, including John 5:21, 28, 29.] Notice this picture in chapter 5 depicting the Gospel account of Jesus actually raising Lazarus from the dead. If you would like to read this comforting brochure, I will be glad to leave it with you.” Have two demonstrations; one from the suggested presentations and another one offering the God’s Friend DVD.
15 min: “Be Bible-Study Conscious.” Question-and-answer discussion. Include a demonstration showing how the Know the Truth tract may be used to start a Bible study when returning to visit someone who accepted the publication offered during July.
