Sorry, I still disagree. The 25 years I participated in door to door work I was not trying to recruit people and neither were any of those in the car groups that I was part of.
So, you took all those service meeting and assembly parts about "leading your students to Jehovah's Organization" with a fistful of salt, did you?
It is possible to want to comfort people by recruiting them. I believed the Society when they said that "directing people's attention to the organization" was the only way to save their lives. I bought the prevailing view that our ministry to unbelievers ended at their baptism - or their rejection of same; and that mere comfort or support of unbelievers was just that: "mere."
I know how satisfying it is to meet "worldings" with respect where they stand -- I loved reading Proverbs 2:21,22 to Muslim and Vietnamese immigrants, back in the seventies -- but I knew, because I trusted the bOrg, that it wasn't enough.
