He said, "Enough with just offering the magazines. You need to directly ask people for a Bible Study. Don't be like the man that stays engaged for years to a woman but never makes a commitment! We need to start studies!!"
So there you go!

Hah, that'll shoot them in the foot the fastest. One time in the field circus, I tried that. I never got quicker "noes" than at that time. The direct method sucks.

No body wants the responsibility of a Bible study. But I agree with Sir Nose, you gotta string those householders along. You start asking everyone for a Bible study, they all turn you down, then you have no where to waste your time Saturday a.m.

I would've LOVED to give this presentation: Hi, I'm Minimus and very briefly, we are offering you and your neighbors a FREE home Bible study! ".......Then when the householder would say, "Ahhhh, no. I'm not interested"......I'd say, "OK, have a nice day!"
Amber, you're correct. NOBODY wants the responsiblity of a BS. You have to pick them up, spend time encouraging them to be there.....and meanwhile, YOU don't even wanna be there!

I once had somebody say OK to me. It just completely threw me off-guard.

Void, what the hell are you talking about?
Stilla, I can imagine what you felt! I would've then cornered a pioneer and given them a study!

Bible Study? What bible study? Is the bible even used during these boring time wasters?
You mean a Wacktower litter-ature study, right?

Personally, I don't think a JW could defend their faith any longer. I would challenge any JW to defend their faith and beliefs here......It just won't happen.
