To my Jehovah's Witness brothers and sister, I went out in service today, and two calls whom I haven't found at home for a while, one being since june, I found them home and they are possible studies. I am so filled with joy. I can't believe it. Jehovah has answered my prayers. So my question is, have you had any experiences like this?

Hey Chewylover, I am sooo very excited for you!!
You must be doing something right ... (not that I was doubting this, of course - LOL) ... for Jehovah is blessing you!!
No, I've not yet shared that experience, but I have been praying to have a "buddy" to increase my ministry with ... eventually to pioneer with ... well, you guessed it! ... FOUND ONE! So, from December onwards we'll team up and hope to fully accomplish our ministry!
All the best, Chewylover, with your new-found interests ...
;-)

I simply desire to explain some thing as I were just lately studying the 08 yearbook which has a massive phase on Russia discussing the Soviet Union days. Meetings is not going to stop, they'll simply be much less public. Publication printing is not going to stop, it is going to simply be performed in individual. Literature distribution and the preaching paintings is not going to stop, it is going to simply be performed extra discreetly. There are few international locations wherein our brothers larger realise that not anything can separate us from the affection of God!

I've had studies popping out of "nowhere" before- from people who seem the least interested. Unfortunately because of moving about I never get to finish any publications with anyone, but it's an honour to have 'planted' or 'watered' as Jehovah makes it grow!
1 Corinthians 3:7- so that neither is he that plants anything nor is he that waters, but God who makes it grow
EDIT: Slaveof12gods- no lottery win can beat the feeling of helping someone develop a relationship with Jehovah!!!

Yes, Jehovah directed me to a study , whose Father is a big time Deacon in church, she prayed to Jehovah God to give her courage to him that she have found the true religion and that she was desolving her membership in the church that he goes too. And two days ago she did just that and now her Father and his two grand daughters are studying progressign well also.
Jehovah is speeding up the work in this time of the end.
"This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come."-Matt. 24:14.
KINGDOM PREACHING TODAY
6 But what about today? Are Christians who are living now also under obligation to be Kingdom preachers? Is there provision for training them to carry on the preaching work, as there was in the first century? Will God's kingdom really bring righteous conditions to earth?
7 Nineteen centuries ago Jesus Christ pointed forward to his invisible second presence in Kingdom glory, and the "conclusion of the system of things." Among other things, he foretold: "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress." (Matt. 24:3-13) War unparalleled in scope and magnitude, followed by food shortages, earthquakes, increased lawlessness, and so forth, were among the evidences that would signal Christ's heavenly second presence and the time of the end of this system of things.
8 Have we entered the momentous time in history of which Jesus spoke? Have we seen in our day the things that he foretold would mark his second presence in Kingdom glory? Yes, we have! The events of the past generation since 1914 are the very ones that Jesus and his disciples prophesied would occur. The coming to pass of all these things in such unprecedented doses proves beyond a doubt that we are now living during Christ's second presence and the "last days" of this system of things. (2 Tim. 3:1-5; 2 Pet. 3:3, 4) Therefore, an important message concerning God's kingdom must now be preached, as Jesus foretold: "This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come." And "this good news" is being preached.-Matt. 24:14.
9 The present-day "good news" concerning God's kingdom is that it has been established in heaven in this very generation; yes, that Jesus Christ has been enthroned there and is ruling in the midst of his enemies. This means that Satan the Devil has been cast from heaven to the vicinity of the earth, and that he will soon be abyssed and his entire wicked system of things destroyed. What good news! (Ps. 110:1, 2; Rev. 12:7-12; 20:1-3) Included in the "good news" is also the fact that those who serve God will survive this system's end and will enjoy eternal life and peace under the Kingdom rule. (1 John 2:17; Ps. 37:9-11, 29) Happily, we have reached the days of which the Bible prophecy speaks: "In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. . . . It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite."-Dan. 2:44.
10 Do you believe that we have reached the day for the fulfillment of these Bible prophecies? Do you really believe that the end of wickedness and the ushering in of a new system of things under God's kingdom is near at hand? Do you confidently look forward to the fulfillment of the Bible promises concerning the end of sickness, suffering and death? (Rev. 21:3, 4) You do? Well, surely, then, you will want to tell "this good news" to others! Really, the right view is that there is not a more important work on earth that a person could do. Kingdom preaching is the work Jehovah God, man's Creator, has commanded to be done. For this reason Jehovah's witnesses are devoted to this activity; thier or millions of them now regularly sharing in telling "this good news" in 235 lands. And like the early Christians, they are prepared to train and assist others to preach the Kingdom message. Their congregation meetings are designed for this very purpose.
