APPLY YOURSELF TO THE FIELD MINISTRY, June 2-8, 2025, Make Return Visits: FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE. (Making Disciples: A Work of Love, Lesson 9, point 5). Prepared Assignment.

Make return visits (4 min.) from house to house. Offer a Bible study to someone who has not wanted to study with the Witnesses in the past (LMD lesson 9, point 5).

Setting: The publisher returns to the home of a woman with whom he had previously spoken about the topic of life after death. During the conversation, he uses a publication with explanatory videos to answer her questions and offers a Bible study using this modern and practical resource.

Publisher: Good morning, Ms. [Name of assistant]. I'm [Name of publisher]. Do you remember me? I came as agreed to bring you the publication we discussed.

Assistant: Hello, [Publisher Name]. Sure! Please come in. I was waiting for you. Thanks for coming.

Publisher: Gladly. Here's the post that answers your question from last time: Is there life after death? Would you like to read an excerpt?

Assistant: Yes, please. Sorry, I have several questions about the Bible. I hope it's not too much trouble.

Publisher: Not at all. Let's read this paragraph, which is very clear (Shows the post).

He says, “Jesus compared death to a deep sleep. How is death like falling asleep? When a person is deeply asleep, they don’t know what’s going on around them. When someone dies, they no longer feel pain or suffer in any other way. The Bible says the dead know nothing at all.”

To confirm this, the publication cites Ecclesiastes 9:5. Would you like to read it on my cell phone?

Assistant: It says: “For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, and they receive no more reward, since all memory of them has been forgotten.” It’s true, the Bible says it clearly.

Publisher(s): Exactly, I'm glad you see it so clearly. This post also invites you to watch a video titled "What Happens to People When They Die?" It's short and explains everything with a biblical example. Shall we watch it together?

(They pretend to watch the video)

Assistant: What a great video! It explains everything very well, especially the Lazarus example. I really liked it; this post is clear.

Publisher: Glad you liked it! Note that all the topics in this post come with videos and easy-to-follow explanations.

I remember you told me last time that other Jehovah's Witnesses offered you a Bible study, but you declined because you didn't want to commit. Although you do enjoy chatting and have many questions about the Bible.

You know, we offer Bible studies through this very publication. A course like this could answer all your questions and help you in many aspects of your life. How about we give it a try?

Assistant: That's true, I was offered a study a while back, but it was with a different book. This one you brought seems interesting; it's piqued my curiosity. I think I'd like to try it now.

Publisher: Wow, Mrs. [Helper's Name]! Next time we visit, we can start the study with this publication. You're going to love how easy and useful it is. Does that sound right to you?

Assistant: Okay. Thanks for the post, [Publisher Name].

Publisher: You're welcome. We'll arrange for next time. Have a nice day!

Assistant: Same to you. See you soon!
