save<00:05:11.939><c> yourselves</c><00:05:12.439><c> from</c><00:05:12.660><c> this</c><00:05:13.000><c> crooked,</c><00:05:13.540><c> this</c><00:05:13.680><c> untoward</c><00:05:14.139><c> generation.</c>

00:05:15.660 --> 00:05:18.540
So<00:05:16.220><c> there's</c><00:05:16.480><c> the</c><00:05:16.600><c> beginning</c><00:05:16.839><c> and</c><00:05:16.980><c> that's</c><00:05:17.139><c> what</c><00:05:17.259><c> we're</c><00:05:17.439><c> doing.</c>

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:21.959
Things<00:05:19.600><c> have</c><00:05:19.839><c> not</c><00:05:20.100><c> changed,</c><00:05:20.480><c> that's</c><00:05:20.899><c> our</c><00:05:21.040><c> world.</c>

00:05:22.740 --> 00:05:24.199
Now<00:05:22.920><c> it</c><00:05:23.120><c> says</c><00:05:23.300><c> in</c><00:05:23.459><c> verse</c><00:05:23.720><c> 41,</c>

00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:31.379
then<00:05:24.759><c> they</c><00:05:25.660><c> that</c><00:05:26.180><c> gladly</c><00:05:26.920><c> received</c><00:05:27.639><c> his</c><00:05:28.019><c> word</c><00:05:28.939><c> were</c><00:05:30.199><c> baptized.</c>

00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.540
And<00:05:32.899><c> the</c><00:05:33.019><c> same</c><00:05:33.220><c> day</c><00:05:33.439><c> they</c><00:05:33.620><c> were</c><00:05:33.819><c> added</c><00:05:34.100><c> unto</c><00:05:34.379><c> them</c><00:05:34.740><c> about</c><00:05:35.240><c> 3</c>

00:05:35.540 --> 00:05:37.180
,000<00:05:35.980><c> souls.</c>

00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:48.300
And<00:05:40.120><c> they</c><00:05:40.319><c> continued</c><00:05:42.620><c> steadfastly</c><00:05:45.199><c> in</c><00:05:46.839><c> the</c><00:05:47.019><c> Apostles'</c>

00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.120
Now<00:05:59.519><c> there's</c><00:06:00.019><c> a</c><00:06:00.160><c> basis,</c><00:06:01.180><c> isn't</c><00:06:01.279><c> it?</c>

00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:03.699
That's<00:06:02.660><c> a</c><00:06:02.759><c> straightforward</c><00:06:03.160><c> basis.</c>

00:06:03.699 --> 00:06:08.060
The<00:06:04.540><c> Apostles'</c><00:06:05.139><c> doctrine</c><00:06:05.339><c> and</c><00:06:05.600><c> fellowship,</c><00:06:06.360><c> that's</c><00:06:06.800><c> the</c><00:06:07.040><c> equivalent</c><00:06:07.420><c> of</c>

00:06:08.060 --> 00:06:13.160

00:06:14.019 --> 00:06:19.100
And<00:06:14.120><c> the</c><00:06:14.220><c> breaking</c><00:06:14.420><c> of</c><00:06:14.699><c> bread</c><00:06:15.500><c> and</c><00:06:17.980><c> prayer.</c>

00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.740
We,<00:06:20.139><c> I</c><00:06:20.259><c> think,</c><00:06:20.399><c> put</c><00:06:20.639><c> too</c><00:06:20.939><c> little</c><00:06:21.160><c> emphasis</c><00:06:21.480><c> on</c><00:06:21.680><c> the</c><00:06:21.899><c> prayers.</c>

00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:30.379
I<00:06:25.740><c> don't</c><00:06:25.939><c> know</c><00:06:26.540><c> how,</c><00:06:27.980><c> in</c><00:06:28.319><c> your</c><00:06:28.779><c> arranging</c><00:06:29.279><c> brethren's</c><00:06:29.839><c> meetings,</c>

00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.259
You've<00:06:44.879><c> got</c><00:06:44.939><c> a</c><00:06:45.079><c> problem</c><00:06:45.300><c> you're</c><00:06:45.500><c> trying</c><00:06:45.620><c> to</c><00:06:45.920><c> solve,</c>

00:06:46.459 --> 00:06:49.540

00:06:51.420 --> 00:06:55.360

00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:56.540
includes<00:06:56.019><c> prayer.</c>

00:06:56.579 --> 00:06:59.680
In<00:06:56.720><c> other</c><00:06:56.899><c> words,</c><00:06:57.319><c> that</c><00:06:57.319><c> we're</c><00:06:57.720><c> laying</c><00:06:58.019><c> it</c><00:06:58.259><c> before</c><00:06:58.560><c> the</c><00:06:58.779><c> Lord.</c>

00:07:00.100 --> 00:07:02.899
Because<00:07:00.500><c> it</c><00:07:00.800><c> eases</c><00:07:01.420><c> the</c><00:07:01.680><c> burden,</c><00:07:01.959><c> brethren.</c>

00:07:03.620 --> 00:07:04.879

00:07:04.939 --> 00:07:06.180
This<00:07:05.040><c> is</c><00:07:05.160><c> the</c><00:07:05.259><c> great</c><00:07:05.459><c> thing</c><00:07:05.660><c> about</c><00:07:05.920><c> it.</c>

00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:07.500
It's<00:07:06.339><c> not</c><00:07:06.459><c> that</c><00:07:06.500><c> we</c><00:07:06.620><c> just</c><00:07:06.819><c> come</c><00:07:06.980><c> together.</c>

00:07:07.699 --> 00:07:09.699
We<00:07:07.860><c> can</c><00:07:07.980><c> do</c><00:07:08.100><c> it</c><00:07:08.579><c> at</c><00:07:08.779><c> home.</c>

00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:12.360

our<00:07:14.660><c> contribution</c><00:07:15.199><c> will</c><00:07:15.379><c> be</c><00:07:15.560><c> higher</c><00:07:16.120><c> in</c><00:07:16.699><c> what</c><00:07:16.819><c> we've</c><00:07:17.040><c> got</c><00:07:17.160><c> to</c><00:07:17.339><c> do.</c>

00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.980
Just<00:07:19.720><c> one</c><00:07:20.000><c> thing</c><00:07:20.160><c> about</c><00:07:20.399><c> this,</c><00:07:20.699><c> because</c><00:07:20.899><c> I'll</c><00:07:21.199><c> just</c><00:07:21.420><c> try</c><00:07:21.600><c> to</c><00:07:21.759><c> solve</c><00:07:21.899><c> a</c>

All<00:07:39.339><c> right,</c><00:07:39.560><c> so</c><00:07:39.819><c> there's</c><00:07:40.759><c> a</c><00:07:41.040><c> vertical</c><00:07:41.459><c> fellowship</c><00:07:42.019><c> with</c><00:07:42.240><c> the</c>

00:07:46.899 --> 00:07:51.360

Now<00:07:55.160><c> there</c><00:07:55.300><c> is</c><00:07:55.519><c> no</c><00:07:55.699><c> scripture</c><00:07:56.100><c> that</c><00:07:56.399><c> says</c><00:07:56.600><c> that.</c>

00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:49.779
And<00:08:46.179><c> truly</c><00:08:46.379><c> our</c><00:08:46.720><c> fellowship</c><00:08:47.259><c> is</c><00:08:48.100><c> with</c><00:08:48.299><c> the</c><00:08:48.539><c> Father</c><00:08:49.039><c> and</c><00:08:49.600><c> with</c>

00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:02.580
Now<00:08:57.659><c> it</c><00:08:57.799><c> is</c><00:08:58.200><c> the</c><00:08:59.419><c> imperfect</c><00:09:00.159><c> reading</c><00:09:00.600><c> of</c><00:09:00.919><c> that</c><00:09:01.559><c> that</c><00:09:02.000><c> suggests</c>

00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:09.720
Now<00:09:07.860><c> he</c><00:09:07.899><c> doesn't</c><00:09:08.120><c> say</c><00:09:08.399><c> that.</c>

00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:17.679
Alright?

00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.539
And<00:09:18.879><c> he</c><00:09:18.940><c> doesn't</c><00:09:19.139><c> say</c><00:09:19.379><c> I</c><00:09:19.879><c> say</c><00:09:20.100><c> to</c><00:09:20.340><c> you.</c>

He<00:09:21.919><c> says</c><00:09:22.200><c> we.</c>

00:09:24.860 --> 00:09:27.580

the<00:09:36.919><c> truth.</c>

00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:45.059
And<00:09:38.120><c> he</c><00:09:38.360><c> says</c><00:09:38.519><c> in</c><00:09:38.700><c> verse</c><00:09:39.000><c> three</c><00:09:39.279><c> that</c><00:09:40.600><c> which</c><00:09:41.240><c> we</c><00:09:41.700><c> have</c><00:09:41.960><c> seen</c><00:09:42.620><c> and</c><00:09:43.220><c> heard</c><00:09:43.659><c> declare</c><00:09:44.600><c> we</c>

00:09:51.820 --> 00:09:53.940
That's<00:09:52.240><c> the</c><00:09:52.379><c> apostle's</c><00:09:53.039><c> doctrine.</c>

00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.860
That<00:09:57.259><c> we</c><00:09:57.559><c> also</c><00:09:58.019><c> may</c><00:09:58.299><c> have</c><00:09:58.559><c> fellowship</c><00:09:59.000><c> with</c><00:09:59.299><c> us.</c>

00:10:00.179 --> 00:10:01.740
That's<00:10:00.600><c> the</c><00:10:00.720><c> apostle's</c><00:10:01.299><c> fellowship.</c>

00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.860
And<00:10:02.539><c> our</c><00:10:02.919><c> fellowship</c><00:10:03.440><c> is</c><00:10:03.840><c> with</c><00:10:03.960><c> the</c><00:10:04.200><c> Father</c><00:10:04.419><c> and</c><00:10:04.600><c> with</c><00:10:04.740><c> the</c><00:10:04.919><c> Son.</c>

00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:12.159
And<00:10:08.620><c> so</c><00:10:08.879><c> fellowship</c><00:10:09.179><c> is</c><00:10:09.440><c> founded</c><00:10:10.100><c> there,</c><00:10:10.740><c> as</c><00:10:11.000><c> in</c><00:10:11.120><c> Acts</c><00:10:11.320><c> chapter</c><00:10:11.639><c> two,</c>

00:10:16.340 --> 00:10:19.379
They<00:10:16.500><c> are,</c><00:10:17.259><c> as</c><00:10:17.480><c> the</c><00:10:17.639><c> scripture</c><00:10:17.860><c> says,</c><00:10:18.200><c> the</c><00:10:18.299><c> foundation</c><00:10:19.019><c> with</c>

Christ<00:10:19.820><c> of</c><00:10:20.019><c> the</c><00:10:20.179><c> Ecclesians.</c>

00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:25.399
And<00:10:21.820><c> that</c><00:10:22.059><c> which</c><00:10:22.940><c> John</c><00:10:23.379><c> had</c><00:10:23.659><c> heard</c><00:10:24.120><c> and</c><00:10:24.659><c> that</c><00:10:24.899><c> which</c><00:10:25.039><c> he</c><00:10:25.179><c> had</c>

00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:26.779
seen<00:10:25.559><c> he</c><00:10:25.700><c> was</c><00:10:26.000><c> now</c><00:10:26.259><c> declaring</c>

00:10:26.779 --> 00:10:29.860
so<00:10:27.320><c> that</c><00:10:27.539><c> we</c><00:10:27.700><c> could</c><00:10:27.960><c> believe</c><00:10:28.220><c> it,</c><00:10:28.700><c> and</c><00:10:28.960><c> believing</c><00:10:29.279><c> it</c><00:10:29.559><c> he</c><00:10:29.620><c> says,</c>

00:10:30.100 --> 00:10:33.860
then<00:10:30.220><c> you</c><00:10:30.379><c> will</c><00:10:30.519><c> have</c><00:10:30.700><c> fellowship</c><00:10:31.019><c> with</c><00:10:31.240><c> us</c><00:10:32.120><c> who</c><00:10:32.559><c> are</c><00:10:32.740><c> the</c><00:10:32.879><c> witnesses</c><00:10:33.179><c> of</c><00:10:33.440><c> Christ.</c>

00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.639
And<00:10:34.580><c> our</c><00:10:34.799><c> fellowship</c><00:10:35.139><c> is</c><00:10:35.299><c> with</c><00:10:35.419><c> the</c><00:10:35.620><c> Father</c><00:10:35.799><c> and</c><00:10:35.940><c> with</c><00:10:36.100><c> the</c><00:10:36.240><c> Son.</c>

00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:38.779
So<00:10:37.080><c> it</c><00:10:37.179><c> is</c><00:10:37.379><c> with</c><00:10:37.580><c> the</c><00:10:37.759><c> Father</c><00:10:37.960><c> and</c><00:10:38.120><c> with</c><00:10:38.340><c> the</c><00:10:38.399><c> Son,</c>

00:10:39.019 --> 00:10:42.980
but<00:10:39.080><c> the</c><00:10:39.200><c> means</c><00:10:39.340><c> of</c><00:10:39.539><c> entry</c><00:10:39.759><c> into</c><00:10:39.960><c> that</c><00:10:40.299><c> is</c><00:10:40.659><c> through</c><00:10:40.779><c> the</c><00:10:40.919><c> apostle's</c><00:10:41.480><c> doctrine</c><00:10:41.720><c> and</c><00:10:42.019><c> fellowship.</c>

00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:45.840
And<00:10:44.340><c> that's</c><00:10:44.500><c> an</c><00:10:44.639><c> interesting</c><00:10:44.899><c> matter,</c><00:10:45.220><c> and</c><00:10:45.340><c> it's</c><00:10:45.500><c> not</c><00:10:45.659><c> only</c>

00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:47.360
in<00:10:46.000><c> this</c><00:10:46.240><c> place</c>

00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:50.179
that<00:10:48.120><c> that</c><00:10:48.600><c> becomes</c><00:10:48.840><c> very</c><00:10:49.240><c> clear.</c>

00:10:51.700 --> 00:10:57.259
Right,<00:10:52.440><c> now</c><00:10:52.899><c> these</c><00:10:53.379><c> things</c><00:10:53.700><c> being</c><00:10:54.080><c> true,</c><00:10:56.399><c> how</c><00:10:56.740><c> do</c><00:10:56.919><c> we</c><00:10:57.080><c> make</c>

00:10:57.259 --> 00:10:59.080

00:31:28.980 --> 00:31:32.759
It's<00:31:29.200><c> good</c><00:31:29.460><c> to</c><00:31:29.700><c> appoint</c><00:31:29.960><c> somebody</c><00:31:30.539><c> to</c><00:31:31.420><c> make</c><00:31:31.720><c> quite</c><00:31:32.000><c> sure</c><00:31:32.480><c> that</c>

00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:46.900
It<00:31:43.259><c> should</c><00:31:43.500><c> be</c><00:31:43.759><c> done</c><00:31:44.000><c> devotionally,</c><00:31:46.019><c> not</c><00:31:46.119><c> just</c><00:31:46.359><c> as</c><00:31:46.519><c> a</c><00:31:46.559><c> kind</c><00:31:46.740><c> of</c>

00:31:56.859 --> 00:31:59.960
I<00:31:57.140><c> could</c><00:31:57.279><c> give</c><00:31:57.380><c> three</c><00:31:57.599><c> verses</c><00:31:57.859><c> to</c><00:31:58.200><c> support</c><00:31:58.460><c> Jehovah's</c><00:31:58.960><c> Witness</c><00:31:59.200><c> teaching,</c><00:31:59.799><c> or</c><00:31:59.900><c> at</c>

00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:03.640
It<00:32:01.720><c> doesn't</c><00:32:01.880><c> prove</c><00:32:02.119><c> I</c><00:32:02.279><c> believe</c><00:32:02.700><c> them.</c>

00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:09.500
What<00:32:04.319><c> we</c><00:32:04.539><c> need</c><00:32:04.859><c> is</c><00:32:05.099><c> to</c><00:32:05.220><c> make</c><00:32:05.339><c> quite</c><00:32:05.579><c> sure</c><00:32:05.940><c> that</c><00:32:06.160><c> we</c><00:32:08.140><c> have</c><00:32:08.140><c> a</c><00:32:08.619><c> sense</c><00:32:09.079><c> of</c>

drawing<00:32:09.880><c> nearer</c><00:32:10.920><c> to</c><00:32:11.660><c> the</c><00:32:11.940><c> head</c><00:32:12.099><c> of</c><00:32:12.380><c> the</c><00:32:12.579><c> body,</c><00:32:13.099><c> which</c><00:32:13.140><c> is</c><00:32:13.440><c> Christ.</c>

00:32:14.740 --> 00:32:16.960
That's<00:32:14.980><c> what</c><00:32:15.160><c> should</c><00:32:15.339><c> be</c><00:32:15.539><c> happening</c><00:32:15.980><c> in</c><00:32:16.420><c> our</c><00:32:16.619><c> instruction</c>

00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:18.079
for<00:32:17.160><c> baptism.</c>

00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:27.779
So,<00:32:21.640><c> remember,</c><00:32:22.779><c> weak</c><00:32:23.240><c> foundations</c><00:32:24.299><c> will</c><00:32:25.880><c> produce</c><00:32:26.660><c> problems</c>

00:32:31.099 --> 00:32:35.740
If<00:32:31.700><c> we</c><00:32:31.920><c> don't</c><00:32:32.220><c> instruct</c><00:32:32.640><c> well</c><00:32:33.480><c> when</c><00:32:34.480><c> we</c><00:32:34.660><c> baptize,</c><00:32:35.400><c> we</c><00:32:35.579><c> shall</c>

00:32:37.740 --> 00:32:40.400
These<00:32:37.940><c> are</c><00:32:38.079><c> the</c><00:32:38.200><c> people</c><00:32:38.400><c> who</c><00:32:38.519><c> want</c><00:32:38.720><c> to</c><00:32:38.859><c> marry</c><00:32:39.000><c> out</c><00:32:39.200><c> of</c><00:32:39.319><c> the</c><00:32:39.539><c> truth.</c>

00:32:40.420 --> 00:32:42.720
Or<00:32:40.579><c> when</c><00:32:40.779><c> there</c><00:32:40.980><c> is</c><00:32:41.180><c> some</c><00:32:41.539><c> doctrinal</c><00:32:42.000><c> trouble,</c><00:32:42.259><c> don't</c><00:32:42.480><c> know</c>

where<00:32:42.980><c> they</c><00:32:43.259><c> are.</c>

00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:46.680
They<00:32:44.220><c> have</c><00:32:44.579><c> not</c><00:32:44.920><c> been</c><00:32:45.259><c> well</c><00:32:45.720><c> grounded.</c>

00:32:46.740 --> 00:32:51.119
And<00:32:46.859><c> that's</c><00:32:47.039><c> our</c><00:32:47.279><c> responsibility.</c><00:32:49.240><c> That's</c><00:32:49.480><c> our</c><00:32:49.759><c> responsibility.</c>

00:32:51.299 --> 00:32:54.799
Not<00:32:51.680><c> the</c><00:32:51.859><c> candidate's</c><00:32:52.619><c> responsibility.</c><00:32:53.539><c> It's</c><00:32:53.940><c> ours.</c>

00:32:54.980 --> 00:32:59.599
If<00:32:55.539><c> we</c><00:32:55.740><c> say</c><00:32:55.839><c> we</c><00:32:56.019><c> believe</c><00:32:56.380><c> these</c><00:32:56.720><c> things</c><00:32:57.220><c> and</c><00:32:57.400><c> we</c><00:32:57.640><c> live</c><00:32:57.920><c> this</c><00:32:58.259><c> way,</c><00:32:59.119><c> then</c><00:32:59.220><c> that</c><00:32:59.480><c> is</c>

00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:02.039
what<00:32:59.740><c> we</c><00:32:59.960><c> should</c><00:33:00.119><c> be</c><00:33:00.500><c> inculcating</c><00:33:01.160><c> in</c><00:33:01.380><c> other</c><00:33:01.599><c> people.</c>

00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:05.299
To<00:33:02.579><c> help</c><00:33:02.940><c> them,</c><00:33:03.599><c> to</c><00:33:03.700><c> lead</c><00:33:03.900><c> them</c><00:33:04.119><c> to</c><00:33:04.400><c> reading</c><00:33:04.700><c> the</c><00:33:04.880><c> Word</c><00:33:05.000><c> of</c><00:33:05.119><c> God</c>

00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:10.700
So<00:33:06.720><c> that</c><00:33:06.900><c> they</c><00:33:07.240><c> find</c><00:33:07.799><c> that</c><00:33:08.019><c> the</c><00:33:08.200><c> life</c><00:33:08.380><c> of</c><00:33:08.720><c> discipleship</c><00:33:09.559><c> is</c><00:33:10.220><c> known</c><00:33:10.519><c> to</c>

00:33:10.700 --> 00:33:13.140
them<00:33:10.920><c> before</c><00:33:11.240><c> they</c><00:33:11.539><c> undertake</c><00:33:12.000><c> it.</c>

00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:15.759
And<00:33:13.380><c> that's</c><00:33:13.480><c> what</c><00:33:13.579><c> we</c><00:33:13.740><c> should</c><00:33:13.859><c> be</c><00:33:14.019><c> seeking</c><00:33:14.400><c> to</c><00:33:14.680><c> do.</c>

00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:19.039
Therefore,<00:33:17.420><c> the</c><00:33:17.559><c> interview</c><00:33:18.079><c> for</c><00:33:18.400><c> baptism.</c>

00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.579
I<00:33:19.759><c> don't</c><00:33:19.980><c> know</c><00:33:20.440><c> who</c><00:33:21.539><c> is</c><00:33:21.779><c> appointed</c><00:33:22.119><c> for</c><00:33:22.279><c> this.</c>

00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:24.019
Whether<00:33:22.759><c> you</c><00:33:22.960><c> appoint</c><00:33:23.180><c> any</c><00:33:23.539><c> two</c><00:33:23.720><c> brethren.</c>

00:33:28.339 --> 00:33:30.420
Obviously<00:33:28.859><c> it</c><00:33:29.039><c> is</c><00:33:29.240><c> to</c><00:33:29.420><c> interview</c><00:33:29.799><c> candidates.</c>

00:33:30.740 --> 00:33:32.220

00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:03.839
That's<00:34:02.880><c> interesting.</c>

00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:10.280
I<00:34:08.000><c> would</c><00:34:08.159><c> say</c><00:34:08.360><c> it</c><00:34:08.719><c> varies</c><00:34:09.039><c> in</c><00:34:09.539><c> Britain.</c>

00:34:10.820 --> 00:34:13.019

00:34:13.019 --> 00:34:16.659
I<00:34:13.400><c> tell</c><00:34:13.480><c> you</c><00:34:13.539><c> why</c><00:34:13.880><c> we</c><00:34:14.079><c> found</c><00:34:14.320><c> it</c><00:34:14.480><c> helpful</c><00:34:14.679><c> to</c><00:34:14.900><c> appoint</c><00:34:15.159><c> people.</c>

00:34:18.340 --> 00:34:20.780
Different<00:34:18.940><c> people</c><00:34:19.380><c> each</c><00:34:19.760><c> time.</c>

00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:23.960

00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:30.199
And<00:34:25.639><c> therefore</c><00:34:25.900><c> sometimes</c><00:34:26.500><c> you</c><00:34:27.260><c> can</c><00:34:27.460><c> get</c><00:34:27.699><c> an</c><00:34:28.059><c> angle</c><00:34:28.460><c> on</c><00:34:28.739><c> the</c><00:34:29.099><c> interview.</c>

00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:35.119
By<00:34:30.679><c> matching</c><00:34:31.539><c> the</c><00:34:32.920><c> brother,</c><00:34:34.019><c> the</c><00:34:34.260><c> brethren</c><00:34:34.579><c> who</c><00:34:34.820><c> are</c><00:34:34.980><c> going</c>

00:34:39.059 --> 00:34:41.019
With<00:34:39.219><c> the</c><00:34:39.400><c> background</c><00:34:39.800><c> of</c><00:34:40.000><c> the</c><00:34:40.159><c> person.</c>

00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:44.800
For<00:34:41.719><c> example,</c><00:34:42.099><c> we</c><00:34:42.099><c> would</c><00:34:42.280><c> take</c><00:34:42.460><c> it</c><00:34:43.739><c> that</c><00:34:43.900><c> those</c><00:34:44.199><c> who</c><00:34:44.420><c> instruct</c>

00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:47.360
somebody<00:34:45.139><c> for</c><00:34:45.380><c> baptism</c><00:34:45.699><c> do</c><00:34:46.099><c> not</c><00:34:46.340><c> interview.</c>

00:34:48.139 --> 00:34:50.940
That<00:34:48.320><c> would</c><00:34:48.539><c> be</c><00:34:49.280><c> standard</c><00:34:49.760><c> practice</c><00:34:50.360><c> with</c><00:34:50.599><c> us.</c>

00:34:51.260 --> 00:34:53.559
In<00:34:51.360><c> other</c><00:34:51.539><c> words,</c><00:34:52.219><c> if</c><00:34:52.380><c> I</c><00:34:52.559><c> instruct</c><00:34:52.840><c> somebody</c><00:34:53.099><c> for</c><00:34:53.280><c> baptism</c>

00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:55.579
I'm<00:34:53.820><c> not</c><00:34:54.000><c> the</c><00:34:54.280><c> interviewing</c><00:34:54.579><c> brother.</c>

00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:02.639
When<00:34:59.000><c> I</c><00:34:59.519><c> interview,</c><00:35:00.119><c> it's</c><00:35:00.380><c> easy</c><00:35:00.559><c> just</c><00:35:00.800><c> to</c><00:35:00.960><c> talk</c><00:35:01.099><c> about</c><00:35:01.460><c> how</c><00:35:01.699><c> one</c><00:35:01.860><c> does</c><00:35:01.980><c> it</c><00:35:02.179><c> oneself.</c>

00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:06.639
So<00:35:02.860><c> that's</c><00:35:05.099><c> a</c><00:35:05.699><c> bit</c><00:35:05.860><c> embarrassing</c><00:35:06.300><c> to</c><00:35:06.539><c> do.</c>

00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:07.659
But<00:35:06.800><c> it</c><00:35:07.059><c> would</c><00:35:07.179><c> be</c><00:35:07.320><c> helpful.</c>

00:35:07.659 --> 00:35:13.260
When<00:35:08.039><c> I</c><00:35:08.300><c> interview,</c><00:35:08.820><c> I</c><00:35:09.159><c> never</c><00:35:10.039><c> work</c><00:35:10.539><c> through</c><00:35:11.219><c> a</c><00:35:11.420><c> straightforward</c><00:35:12.039><c> list</c><00:35:12.460><c> of</c><00:35:12.719><c> questions</c><00:35:13.059><c> that</c>

00:35:13.260 --> 00:35:15.739
I'm<00:35:13.420><c> going</c><00:35:13.639><c> through</c><00:35:13.920><c> and</c><00:35:14.139><c> I'm</c><00:35:14.219><c> just</c><00:35:14.440><c> ticking</c><00:35:14.579><c> them</c><00:35:14.820><c> off.</c>

00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:21.480
I<00:35:16.360><c> go</c><00:35:16.659><c> from</c><00:35:16.840><c> where</c><00:35:17.079><c> the</c><00:35:17.320><c> candidate</c><00:35:17.860><c> goes</c><00:35:19.280><c> in</c><00:35:19.780><c> response</c><00:35:20.500><c> to</c><00:35:21.199><c> the</c>

00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:22.699
first<00:35:21.679><c> question.</c>

00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:27.360
Now<00:35:23.840><c> if</c><00:35:23.900><c> that</c><00:35:24.119><c> first</c><00:35:24.340><c> question</c><00:35:24.960><c> is,</c><00:35:25.699><c> and</c><00:35:25.900><c> it</c><00:35:26.099><c> usually</c><00:35:26.360><c> is,</c><00:35:27.019><c> why</c>

00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:30.639
then<00:35:28.119><c> do</c><00:35:28.480><c> you</c><00:35:28.639><c> wish</c><00:35:28.840><c> to</c><00:35:29.019><c> be</c><00:35:29.219><c> baptised?</c>

00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:33.960
Whatever<00:35:31.019><c> answer</c><00:35:31.360><c> comes</c><00:35:31.599><c> out</c><00:35:31.840><c> of</c><00:35:31.980><c> that,</c><00:35:32.480><c> then</c><00:35:32.780><c> I</c><00:35:33.440><c> would</c><00:35:33.739><c> lead</c>

00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:36.539
off<00:35:34.920><c> through</c><00:35:36.219><c> that.</c>

00:35:36.539 --> 00:35:40.119
And<00:35:36.719><c> I</c><00:35:37.119><c> do</c><00:35:37.300><c> it</c><00:35:37.420><c> with</c><00:35:37.639><c> the</c><00:35:37.639><c> Bible</c><00:35:37.940><c> in</c><00:35:38.179><c> hand</c><00:35:38.360><c> and</c><00:35:38.500><c> we</c><00:35:38.739><c> turn</c><00:35:38.940><c> up</c><00:35:39.239><c> passages.</c>

00:35:40.699 --> 00:35:42.320
We<00:35:40.840><c> begin</c><00:35:41.159><c> the</c><00:35:41.380><c> interview</c><00:35:41.679><c> with</c><00:35:41.940><c> prayer.</c>

00:35:42.659 --> 00:35:44.760
We<00:35:42.920><c> do</c><00:35:43.119><c> a</c><00:35:43.320><c> reading</c><00:35:43.539><c> before</c><00:35:43.880><c> we</c><00:35:44.059><c> have</c><00:35:44.179><c> the</c><00:35:44.360><c> interview.</c>

00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:49.460
We<00:35:45.340><c> then</c><00:35:45.780><c> look</c><00:35:46.119><c> at</c><00:35:46.219><c> Bible</c><00:35:46.500><c> passages</c><00:35:47.059><c> and</c><00:35:48.159><c> we</c><00:35:48.400><c> instruct</c><00:35:49.019><c> as</c>

00:35:49.460 --> 00:35:50.280
we're<00:35:49.679><c> going</c><00:35:49.860><c> along.</c>

00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:54.300
Instruct<00:35:51.079><c> further</c><00:35:51.639><c> people</c><00:35:52.239><c> who</c><00:35:52.679><c> already</c><00:35:53.280><c> know</c><00:35:53.840><c> the</c><00:35:54.079><c> truth.</c>

00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:57.780
But<00:35:54.519><c> then</c><00:35:54.699><c> you</c><00:35:54.860><c> say,</c><00:35:55.460><c> there's</c><00:35:55.579><c> a</c><00:35:55.699><c> very</c><00:35:56.059><c> interesting</c><00:35:56.320><c> verse</c><00:35:56.559><c> on</c><00:35:56.800><c> that.</c>

00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:00.719
You<00:35:58.360><c> just</c><00:35:58.679><c> mentioned</c><00:35:58.980><c> something</c><00:35:59.340><c> there</c><00:35:59.599><c> that</c><00:36:00.360><c> I</c><00:36:00.559><c> haven't</c>

00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:02.559
heard<00:36:00.900><c> anybody</c><00:36:01.139><c> mention</c><00:36:01.460><c> before.</c>

00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:06.300
I<00:36:03.239><c> remember</c><00:36:03.480><c> we</c><00:36:03.679><c> interviewed</c><00:36:03.940><c> somebody</c><00:36:04.239><c> on</c><00:36:05.780><c> the</c><00:36:06.039><c> devil.</c>

00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:09.940
And<00:36:06.699><c> the</c><00:36:06.800><c> answer</c><00:36:07.079><c> given</c><00:36:07.420><c> by</c><00:36:07.679><c> this</c><00:36:07.880><c> young</c><00:36:08.139><c> person</c><00:36:08.639><c> was</c><00:36:09.059><c> an</c><00:36:09.239><c> answer</c><00:36:09.659><c> that</c>

00:36:09.940 --> 00:36:11.739
nobody<00:36:10.159><c> had</c><00:36:10.539><c> ever</c><00:36:10.719><c> given</c><00:36:10.860><c> before.</c>

00:36:12.219 --> 00:36:15.940
It<00:36:12.420><c> was</c><00:36:12.699><c> not</c><00:36:13.159><c> only</c><00:36:13.460><c> sound,</c><00:36:14.199><c> but</c><00:36:14.260><c> it</c><00:36:14.380><c> just</c><00:36:15.059><c> showed</c><00:36:15.219><c> a</c><00:36:15.480><c> slant</c><00:36:15.719><c> of</c>

00:36:17.699 --> 00:36:21.159
Then<00:36:18.039><c> I</c><00:36:18.920><c> would</c><00:36:19.139><c> turn</c><00:36:19.280><c> up</c><00:36:19.519><c> scriptures</c><00:36:19.780><c> to</c><00:36:20.000><c> go</c><00:36:20.099><c> with</c><00:36:20.320><c> that.</c>

00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:23.599
In<00:36:21.539><c> the</c><00:36:21.659><c> end,</c><00:36:21.840><c> we</c><00:36:21.980><c> make</c><00:36:22.119><c> quite</c><00:36:22.420><c> sure,</c><00:36:22.780><c> the</c><00:36:22.900><c> two</c><00:36:23.059><c> of</c><00:36:23.159><c> us</c><00:36:23.280><c> who</c><00:36:23.400><c> are</c>

00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:26.219
interviewing,<00:36:24.340><c> that</c><00:36:24.480><c> we</c><00:36:24.619><c> have</c><00:36:24.760><c> covered</c><00:36:24.900><c> the</c><00:36:25.099><c> full</c><00:36:25.260><c> range.</c>

00:36:27.420 --> 00:36:36.219
We<00:36:27.940><c> spend</c><00:36:28.460><c> a</c><00:36:31.179><c> large</c><00:36:31.679><c> part</c><00:36:32.099><c> of</c><00:36:32.380><c> time</c><00:36:32.960><c> on</c><00:36:33.760><c> the</c><00:36:34.079><c> life,</c><00:36:35.800><c> on</c><00:36:36.000><c> living</c>

00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:42.980
Now<00:36:39.500><c> that</c><00:36:39.579><c> was</c><00:36:39.880><c> not</c><00:36:40.159><c> common</c><00:36:40.480><c> practice</c><00:36:41.079><c> a</c><00:36:41.500><c> generation</c><00:36:42.000><c> ago.</c>

00:36:44.139 --> 00:36:45.539
We<00:36:44.260><c> just</c><00:36:44.400><c> went</c><00:36:44.599><c> through</c><00:36:44.860><c> certain</c><00:36:45.159><c> things.</c>

00:36:45.820 --> 00:36:47.840
Well,<00:36:46.460><c> you</c><00:36:46.579><c> know</c><00:36:46.659><c> we</c><00:36:46.739><c> don't</c><00:36:46.920><c> have</c><00:36:47.000><c> anything</c><00:36:47.139><c> to</c><00:36:47.239><c> do</c><00:36:47.280><c> with</c><00:36:47.440><c> politics</c><00:36:47.739><c> and</c>

00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:49.300
you<00:36:47.960><c> agree</c><00:36:48.119><c> with</c><00:36:48.320><c> that.</c>

00:36:49.500 --> 00:36:52.800
And<00:36:49.619><c> perhaps</c><00:36:49.800><c> there's</c><00:36:49.960><c> a</c><00:36:50.079><c> few</c><00:36:50.760><c> comments</c><00:36:51.119><c> on</c><00:36:51.280><c> it,</c><00:36:51.519><c> or</c><00:36:51.780><c> fighting.</c>

00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:56.719
Or<00:36:53.599><c> in</c><00:36:53.800><c> the</c><00:36:53.860><c> non</c><00:36:54.159><c>-combatant</c><00:36:54.639><c> forces,</c><00:36:55.099><c> or</c><00:36:55.239><c> the</c><00:36:55.340><c> police</c><00:36:55.639><c> force.</c>

00:36:58.019 --> 00:37:01.960
And<00:36:58.139><c> you</c><00:36:58.400><c> know</c><00:36:58.480><c> we</c><00:36:58.619><c> don't</c><00:37:00.039><c> vote</c><00:37:00.300><c> in</c><00:37:00.440><c> local</c><00:37:00.760><c> elections</c><00:37:01.179><c> either.</c>

00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:05.820
And<00:37:02.519><c> that</c><00:37:02.639><c> we</c><00:37:02.840><c> marry</c><00:37:03.420><c> only</c><00:37:04.119><c> those</c><00:37:04.380><c> who</c><00:37:04.559><c> are</c><00:37:04.699><c> in</c><00:37:04.820><c> the</c><00:37:05.039><c> truth.</c>

00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:09.980
Now<00:37:06.500><c> this</c><00:37:06.760><c> is</c><00:37:06.920><c> more</c><00:37:07.099><c> or</c><00:37:07.179><c> less</c><00:37:07.320><c> the</c><00:37:07.619><c> range</c><00:37:08.219><c> of</c><00:37:08.920><c> things</c><00:37:09.219><c> at</c><00:37:09.440><c> one</c><00:37:09.659><c> time.</c>

00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:12.039
We<00:37:10.260><c> go</c><00:37:10.440><c> through</c><00:37:10.639><c> everything</c><00:37:11.039><c> now.</c>

00:37:12.860 --> 00:37:18.179
We<00:37:13.420><c> spend</c><00:37:13.659><c> a</c><00:37:13.960><c> long</c><00:37:14.219><c> time</c><00:37:14.860><c> on</c><00:37:15.260><c> living</c><00:37:15.500><c> the</c><00:37:15.780><c> life</c><00:37:16.320><c> in</c><00:37:17.179><c> Christ.</c>

00:37:18.579 --> 00:37:22.820
And<00:37:19.059><c> make</c><00:37:19.300><c> absolutely</c><00:37:19.860><c> plain</c><00:37:20.519><c> what</c><00:37:21.179><c> kind</c><00:37:21.460><c> of</c><00:37:21.599><c> life</c><00:37:21.739><c> it</c><00:37:21.960><c> is.</c>

00:37:23.260 --> 00:37:24.800
It's<00:37:23.380><c> got</c><00:37:23.480><c> to</c><00:37:23.719><c> be</c><00:37:24.000><c> led.</c>

00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:27.300
Your<00:37:25.400><c> husband</c><00:37:25.699><c> isn't</c><00:37:25.900><c> in</c><00:37:26.059><c> the</c><00:37:26.280><c> truth.</c>

00:37:28.579 --> 00:37:29.360
No.

00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:34.239
Well,<00:37:30.239><c> how</c><00:37:30.400><c> do</c><00:37:30.539><c> you</c><00:37:30.539><c> think</c><00:37:30.719><c> then</c><00:37:31.159><c> it's</c><00:37:31.480><c> going</c><00:37:31.599><c> to</c><00:37:31.739><c> be</c><00:37:31.840><c> when</c><00:37:32.000><c> you're</c><00:37:32.300><c> baptized</c><00:37:32.940><c> and</c>

00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:35.820
he's<00:37:34.659><c> not</c><00:37:34.920><c> interested?</c>

00:37:36.500 --> 00:37:38.860
What<00:37:36.739><c> difference</c><00:37:37.199><c> do</c><00:37:37.320><c> you</c><00:37:37.340><c> think</c><00:37:37.440><c> it's</c><00:37:37.679><c> going</c><00:37:37.800><c> to</c><00:37:38.000><c> make?</c>

00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:43.159
Well,<00:37:41.219><c> she</c><00:37:41.320><c> said,</c><00:37:41.480><c> I'm</c><00:37:41.639><c> not</c><00:37:41.860><c> really</c><00:37:42.139><c> sure.</c>

00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:47.000
I'm<00:37:44.880><c> going</c><00:37:45.000><c> to</c><00:37:45.380><c> continue</c><00:37:45.780><c> as</c><00:37:46.059><c> I've</c><00:37:46.280><c> been</c><00:37:46.400><c> doing</c><00:37:46.500><c> in</c><00:37:46.679><c> the</c><00:37:46.840><c> past.</c>

00:37:47.059 --> 00:37:49.699
I<00:37:47.119><c> shall</c><00:37:47.239><c> come</c><00:37:47.400><c> to</c><00:37:47.519><c> the</c><00:37:47.679><c> meetings</c><00:37:47.980><c> and</c><00:37:48.139><c> I</c><00:37:48.260><c> read</c><00:37:48.380><c> the</c><00:37:48.559><c> word</c><00:37:48.960><c> of</c>

00:37:49.699 --> 00:37:50.239
God<00:37:49.840><c> at</c><00:37:50.059><c> home.</c>

00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:51.780
I<00:37:50.400><c> do</c><00:37:50.639><c> that.</c>

00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:55.239
But<00:37:53.119><c> family</c><00:37:53.400><c> life,</c><00:37:53.599><c> I</c><00:37:53.719><c> haven't</c><00:37:53.860><c> really</c><00:37:54.139><c> thought</c><00:37:54.380><c> about</c><00:37:54.880><c> how</c>

00:37:55.239 --> 00:37:56.739
it's<00:37:55.480><c> going</c><00:37:55.539><c> to</c><00:37:55.719><c> affect</c><00:37:55.960><c> family</c><00:37:56.320><c> life.</c>

00:37:56.880 --> 00:37:58.840
Then<00:37:57.000><c> we</c><00:37:57.159><c> open</c><00:37:57.280><c> that</c><00:37:57.519><c> out.</c>

Your<00:38:08.559><c> husband</c><00:38:08.920><c> may</c><00:38:09.239><c> feel</c><00:38:09.719><c> that</c><00:38:10.099><c> that</c><00:38:10.340><c> loyalty</c><00:38:10.599><c> has</c><00:38:10.840><c> come</c><00:38:10.980><c> in</c>

00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:30.280
And<00:39:26.800><c> so</c><00:39:26.920><c> he</c><00:39:27.119><c> feels</c><00:39:27.500><c> that</c><00:39:27.800><c> we're</c><00:39:28.000><c> not</c><00:39:28.199><c> a</c><00:39:28.340><c> strange</c><00:39:28.480><c> lot</c><00:39:28.599><c> of</c><00:39:28.719><c> people</c><00:39:28.900><c> after</c><00:39:29.239><c> all.</c>

00:39:30.300 --> 00:39:33.340
And<00:39:30.639><c> he's</c><00:39:32.059><c> willing</c><00:39:32.179><c> to</c><00:39:32.460><c> talk.</c>

00:39:33.500 --> 00:39:36.659

00:39:41.179 --> 00:39:43.179
These<00:39:41.380><c> are</c><00:39:41.579><c> the</c><00:39:41.739><c> theories</c><00:39:42.059><c> that</c><00:39:42.320><c> lie</c><00:39:42.440><c> behind</c><00:39:42.820><c> it.</c>

00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:48.699
So<00:39:43.659><c> in</c><00:39:44.739><c> our</c><00:39:45.519><c> interview</c><00:39:46.059><c> for</c><00:39:46.280><c> baptism,</c><00:39:46.880><c> we</c><00:39:47.079><c> try</c><00:39:47.300><c> to</c><00:39:48.000><c> cover</c><00:39:48.000><c> all</c>

00:39:52.900 --> 00:39:55.500
And<00:39:53.119><c> we</c><00:39:53.280><c> also</c><00:39:53.539><c> ask,</c><00:39:53.880><c> is</c><00:39:53.880><c> there</c><00:39:54.119><c> anything</c><00:39:54.440><c> that</c><00:39:54.659><c> you</c><00:39:54.940><c> want</c><00:39:55.159><c> to</c>

00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:03.059
And<00:40:01.280><c> do</c><00:40:01.440><c> we</c><00:40:01.559><c> tell</c><00:40:01.719><c> them,</c><00:40:01.940><c> by</c><00:40:02.139><c> the</c><00:40:02.280><c> way,</c><00:40:02.440><c> do</c><00:40:02.539><c> you</c><00:40:02.679><c> tell</c><00:40:02.800><c> them</c><00:40:02.960><c> in</c>

00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:12.699
My<00:40:09.940><c> feeling</c><00:40:10.159><c> is</c><00:40:10.280><c> that</c><00:40:10.420><c> we</c><00:40:10.519><c> don't</c><00:40:10.739><c> do</c><00:40:10.940><c> that.</c>
