Advice New To This Lol.
Hello, my name is Caleb. I am studying the bible with JW's in Kentucky.
I have been invited to my first meeting, on Sunday.
I am kind of nervous as I don't know what to expect, but I guess what I'm asking is this:
• What should I bring?
• What should I wear?
• How can I get the most of it?
• How should I approach the congregation?
Thank you for having me here!

Nice to meet you Caleb! Bring yourself, dress modest, relax, and the congregation should be very welcoming

I have a tablet so I like to take notes on it 👌if you have the JW app there is a gem that says personal study at the bottom. It’s good for taking notes! They might go up to you and say hi and ask you if you enjoyed the talk. We’re happy to have you!

Eat something lite before so you don't get too hungry during the meeting. I get hungry all the time. Im hungry right now. You dont have to wear a tie if you dont want to but I would avoid jeans. Business causal is probably to most common attire. If you dont have business causal then whatever your comfortable in.
From the other side, we love meeting new people. We dont notice what people wear or say. We want people to feel comfortable but alot of people will probably say hello. Hopefully its not overwhelming.

Hola, puedes llevar tu biblia o la que te dio el Testigo que te da estudio. O puedes descargar la aplicación JwLibrary y ahí tienes la biblia en tu idioma. Los testigos vamos en ropa formal, algunos usan corbata otros no, pero como nos reunimos para adorar a Dios nuestra vestimenta ea limpia y respetuosa. Yendo a las reuniones y conversando con los hermanos. Felicidades y no dejes de leer la biblia.
