We were told that the preaching work was lead and guided by ''angels'' and the holy spirit.
If that is so,why the need for magazine presentations week after week? Why is a half hour spent showing each member what to say and how to respond to certain questions? Why practice presentations when the angels and holy spirit are there to help?
Busy work for the R & F, just like the Field Service.
Thats how you practice your salesmanship!
indoctrination my dear watson...
I think that's the wrong question to ask. I would ask why the presentation "examples" exist at all for any reason. 5th graders around the world are giving more thought out presentations for their school projects. Sometimes I get the feeling that the Society thinks that everyone on the earth are a bunch of chumps, witness and non witness alike.
As for the angel thing. Angel's direct you the door supposedly, they don't speak for you. And as far as God's spirit goes, the spirit only gives you the "strength." Think of God's spirit as the Force in Star Wars, it doesn't levitate things FOR you, persay, it is just a system to tap into that allows for that type of thing.
That's simple - so that everyone knows what to say and when to say it. These loving practice sessions promote unity and discourage independent thinking.
...oh wow, I think I just threw up a little...
The WTS. indoctrinates people to become their own representatives and sales laborers.
I'm quite sure the instruction to preach the word was a oral direction and had absolutely
nothing to do with commercializing the word for profit $$$
I wonder if they had religious charlatans in biblical times ?
Maybe this is all true if the angels are a bunch of bullshitting uneducated idiots.
I wonder this question too. The worst part about this set up is that the presentations are not interactive. You have to practice on your own rather than having the congregation have some spare time during the school to try out the presentations on someone sitting next to them.
I went to a non-denominational church (once) and I was SHOCKED when the people in charge of the service said, "turn to somebody you know and have a conversation with them... get to know them... start with "where are you from?" or "how did you end up here". They specifically said not to bring up unpolite questions such as "what do you do for work", "what school do you go to" etc. It was just time for the people to be friendly to one another.
Indoctrination.
