I would like to introduce you to four brothers in the congregation. Brother Somebody, Brother Everybody, Brother Anybody and Brother Nobody. All four brothers are very different from the rest of the congregation...it is too bad... but that is the way it is... Really...It is a shame that it is that way.
Here are some of the problems these brothers have: Everybody failed to take advantage of the weekend time he had to go in the service. He was always staying home from service on Sunday because he had some company or sometimes just because he had something else to do.
Now, as for Anybody..He wanted to go in service but he didn't because he was afraid Somebody would not be there to work with him. So do you know who went out? Nobody.
As it turns out, Nobody was the only active one in the group. It was Nobody that always supported the meetings for service. It was Nobody that always showed up to clean the Kingdom Hall. It was Nobody that always made return visits on literature he place. And why? Because Nobody kept a house to house record.
One time at a meeting, The Theocratic School Overseer needed a brother to give one of the talks on the school program. Everybody thought Somebody would do it so he didn't offer to do it. Somebody thought certainly Anybody could do it, so he didn't offer. Anybody thought Somebody would do it. Do you know who offered to accept the assignment? That's right...Nobody.
There was an interested person that came to the meeting one Sunday. Everybody thought Somebody should approach the new one and offer to study with him ...Anybody could have done it. But, again guess who did it?....Nobody.
