Just because they ALWAYS have? I mean...it accomplishes NOTHING save making them pests all over the planet. They dont get money from it, not enough to make any damn difference anyway...the magazines are limited to only two a month and they dont do subscriptions any more.
How many people actually are brought in this way? Now it has become just bondage and control over the masses. Forced slavery.
I think it would be enough to just put a tract in the mail box with an invitation to God's Kingdom and to get a free Bible study. Was not the cavalry of two myriads of myriads explained two symbolize the litterature, in the Revelation Climax-book?

I think you just answered your question.
It is very hard for people to try to convince others of something they don't believe themselves. If you are constantly going out trying to sell your beliefs to others, it reinforces them in you. Whether they ever convert another person or not, JWs further commit themselves to the WT by going out in field service.
It's to waste their time. If they didn't do field circus, they would be able to have f**. In other words, things like going to a****ment parks, s**mming, having p****cs, and playing s***ts. Plus, they might have time to l***n about the real Bible--whether they see that the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger is not true to it, that the Bible lies, or both, it will quickly make them apostates.
Why exactly, DO the JWs continue to beat on doors? What is the POINT?
The door to door exercise is the product of the Rutherford era. It was actually a pretty good idea. Direct book sales increased sales as well as revenue. Rutherford was the P. T. Barnum of religion. Door to door sales was just one element of Rutherford's command to "Advertise, advertise, advertise . . . "
The Rutherford witnesses staged demonstrations, incited riots, picketed churches on Sunday mornings, and set up sound cars to play Rutherford phonograph records that disrespected the churches and the government.
The Witnesses have sort of lost a purpose. Credibility is at zero. The door to door distribution is ineffective to it's stated purpose in the 21's century. The Witness produced printed material lacks credibility and appeal to non-Witnesses. At best, it's busy work for the Witness people.
The business model of the Witness conglomerate is paper book focused. Without the paper books and magazines, there's nothing for the Witnesses to do. Meetings focus only on the paper books, door to door activity only utilizes the paper books, recruiting and personal reading rely on the paper books. Without the paper books, what will the Witness business have?
Obviously, the content of the paper books is irrelevant. Just look back 20 or 50 years. There's no loyalty to the content. That's why there's an endless stream of new books. Without changed views and updated business policy, the paper book manufacturing would stop.
To point: The reason Witnesses beat on doors is "it works" . . . not for the people at the door, not for the Witness people, it works for the Watch Tower Publishing Corporation$.
In my opinion it is because in some twisted way constant rejection proves to JWs that they are on that "narrow road leading to life," while all others are on a "road leading to destruction." Imagene if the majority of the public became converts ... how then could followers claim to be "chosen ones. " No, social maryrdom has its rewards in the minds of mental midgets.
why did the appostles preach?
Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Mark 16:15
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.
2 Peter 2:5
if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
preaching is a mark of Gods people!
Fine preaching is a mark of God's people. Why go annony people and/or spend a bunch of time knocking on doors where no one is home? As pointed out, it's useless at its stated purpose.
why did the appostles preach?
I think the question was why do JWs go door to door. There are other forms of preaching that have proven to be far more effective.
