I got sent this link to this story from cleveland.
The guy did a normal thing anybody in his position would have done whatever the business for ringing a doorbel was. In itself it is a commmendable course of action.
It turned out to be a 5 minute invite for the memorial on april 2nd. This is not journalism. This is advertising....propaganda if you will.
Is that the way journalism is heading or is it just a slip of the pen?
On the upside of things:
Cheer up JW's! You are becoming the worlds saviors with this door banging.
Reminds me of something my told me yesterday about the meeting: applying the histories of Jericho and Gideon to the preaching service:
The soldiers had to march around town. everyday 1x. last day 7x. Why? they were "hardened brave soldiers" who wanted to slice some heads. Is it not stupid for a such a soldier to go marching around town.
gideon sent home all those who were frightened. Then he sent home the ones who could not drink properly. (so much for civilisation) Leftover: 300 braves. Is it not stupid for those 300 braves to carry vases and torches, just standing there and slamming the vases?
Conclusion: So we never know what good it will do when we go out in the reaching service. We may not fully understand it but it will turn out good.
I am sure the braves in our cong will be delighted to see their teachings corroborated with such "fine" experiences. (barf)
