Damn! I was hoping it would work. Sorry. Will try again, but not sure how this works.

Wow that sounds like the dubs typical paranoia. The other night I tried to get my mom to read Crisis of Conscience, at least the first page or the back cover. I said that if the WTS was telling the truth than this should be easy to prove wrong. I tried every possible way to make her see the truth, I even appealed to her vanity, saying that this was her big opportunity to prove all the aposates wrong, but it was too late, she had already heard of Ray Franz, "the chief aposate."

She never once considered the possibility that maybe this has something important to say, that reguardless of the subjest matter she should read it because I'm her son and I deserve her respect. But the Watchtower spits on family because the one thing they hate and fear the most is unconditional love.

Needless to say I gave up after nine and a half hours.

Do JW's do recruiting via phone now. In the past they would "knock" at my door maybe once or twice a year. I received a call yesterday from someone identifying himself as a JW inviting me to attend the local KH this Sunday. He identified himself by name (I don't know him), was very soft spoken, almost angelic, and repeated several times that there would be no request for donations or money in any way, shape, or form. He must have repeated this point 3 or 4 times. There was no mention of Jehovah, other than him saying he was a JW. No mention or indication that the "sky was falling" and that I should consider a free bible study, etc., although I suspect that If I were to visit the KH this Sunday I would be bombarded with their kind of Love and asked to consider becoming a member of the "troof." I certainly do not intend to attend, but thought it strange to be receiving the call. Are the JW's changing the way they operate? Anyone else received calls?

Thanks

Hondo

Awesome. I haven't ran into any witnesses in person yet. I always get nervous when I enter Wallyworld that I will see one. When I do, I hope to react the same way you did. It seems to work great.

Hey Hondo, I might have an answer for you. A big trend in my mom's congregation is phone witnessing. About once a month the study groups get together and comb through the obituaries. They pick out accidental deaths, suicides, usually young people where the family's grief is obviously more strong. Instead of calling to offer condolences, they give their speal about resurection and paradise, manipulating people at a vulnerable time. I've heard my mom do this, and I tell you the responses are explosive. Imagine losing your son or daughter and having one of these jokers pay you a "sympathy call."

There are many reasons they do this, the biggest being to cheat on their time cards, and unfortunately this method sometimes works. Of course they would never say it like this, nor would they ever write to the families, in case of any legal action. Clever, huh?

Phone witnessing is the new thing in the JW organization. When sisters do a #3 talk now, they usually have to pretend it's a telephone call. Eventually they're going to do away with door to door work when the JW's become persecuted. Feel confident that you'll have them knocking at your door for the rest of your life.

Okay, I think I may have finally been able to upload a few pics of the gardens. (Previous post.)

Could someone let me know if they came through? If they did, thanks goes to Ip_Sec's directions on another post.
