What's so big about small talk?

What's so big about small talk?

Small talk is the appetizer of any relationship

It takes some thought to get to the main course

Talking rule is, no more than 4 to 5 minutes about any topic, and then I have to throw the conversation ball back your way

We would eliminate monopolizers forever if we would all take that rule in hand

That means it's not a competition

We think we're not topping each other but we're matching, when you tell me you have a son and a daughter, well I have a son and a daughter too and I start babbling about my son and daughter



When it is your turn, what are the questions you should never ask?

Don't say to the married couple across the table "so, do you have any kids? When are you gonna have kids?" How about this one, "when are you gonna make me a grandmother?" What kind of-- what, stop it!"

The key : don't make assumptions.

if you don't know about someone's marital status, or boyfriend-girlfriend status,

"what's been going on in your life since the last time I saw you?" or "bring me up to date about your faimily", instead of saying "how's your wife?" What if his wife left him?

Be careful asking how work is going unless you know the person still has the same job

A better question to ask anybody you don't know well is "what's been going on with work since the last time I saw you?"

Have a good conversation!!

Encore lecture following the Shincheonji Bible Seminars that make pastors one in the Revelation, Bible

It was great that Shincheonji Bible seminars were held throughout South Korea last month. And it was finished with the encore lecture held on November 4th. Almost all of the attendees pastors applied to the theological education that Shincheonji church supplies. Shincheonji Bible Seminars were held in October, starting from in Seoul. (Seminar in Seoul , Dajeon , Daegu , Busan , Gwangju ) After that, the requests from pastors continued. That's why Shincheonji church got to hold the encore lecture in Seoul. All attendees are 12,000 people including 1650 pastors over the seminars. Lee Man Hee, Chairman of Shincheonji Church, clearly preached the entire chapters of the book of Revelation. Especially, It was paid attention for the core topics like  'Betrayal, Destroyer, and Savior', 'Fulfilled Reality of the Promised Pastor at the Second Coming', '144,000 and the Multitude in White That Will Be Saved' He encouraged them to think about What God promised in the Bib

The reason why we can get to understand the all meanings of book of the Revelation, New Covenant

Last date of 18th, Shincheonji Bible Seminar was held in Busan The topic was  'Fulfilled Reality of the Promised Pastor at the Second Coming' I think maybe it would be unfamiliar to someone because I guess they haven't heard ever before.  But, once you listen to the seminar from start to end, you can find yourself to be convinced. First, like beforehand seminars held in other metropolitan cities located in South Korea, many people including pastors and congregations of diverse denominations attended the seminar. This Seminar was held at the request of the participants of the previous bible seminar held in April. So, the seminar participants' reaction this time was also nice. One pastor said, "There was no wrong thing in his preaching. I would want to say that I should learn from Shincheonji church concerning the words", "It was a chance to make a decision to find out and learn the book of Revelation through interaction without indicating the Shincheonji C

Shincheonji's Word Seminar in Europe ignites hope for Christian reawakening

 In the heart of Paris, a remarkable event unfolded that may well signify a turning point for Christianity in Europe. On June 15, Shincheonji Church of Jesus held a Word Seminar that resonated deeply across the continent, drawing an impressive crowd of over 7,000 participants, including 1,000 pastors from across Europe. The theme of the seminar, "Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation," couldn't be timelier. Europe has long been regarded as a cradle of Christianity, but recent decades have seen a worrying decline in church attendance and a shift in buildings from sanctuaries to secular venues like restaurants and clubs. Against this backdrop, the Word Seminar offered a beacon of hope and a possible blueprint for revival. Delphine Mardon, a pastor from the Full Gospel denomination, reflected the sentiments of many attendees when she expressed her awe at the teachings of Revelation presented by Chairman Lee Man-hee. Her words, "The words of Revelation were
