    You've got to keep practising that sales pitch.

    That's what cults do. Constant repitition of what you "believe".

    Education is part of how they maintain their tax-free charitable status, and maintain eligibility for $ as an NGO. Ditto as a Human Rights organization. This is how they can slither in and grow new victims even if governments reject their bogus religious agenda.

    So they can waste your time. If the angels were really directing the work, they could start discussing how to actually receive the blessings themselves instead of telling you that the blessing is just being allowed to participate in this life-ruining work.

    If everyone actually read the magazines and gave a crap about the work, then there'd be no reason for it, really. I know I always felt so nervous without a prepared spiel.

    With angels backing you up, you should be able to just Jedi mind-trick the householder - "These are the mags you are looking for..."

    It's indoctrination. Householder says A I respond with B. B is the truth A is not. It means that you don't really have to listen to the householder because you are just waiting for the break in the conversation to say your bit. As the field ministry is unpredictable it means that R&F are protected from what they may hear and are in control of the conversation.

    However in my experience most witnesses fall back on "here are the latest copies of the magazines do you want them?" Few read them from cover to cover.

    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?

    How dare you question Jehover's arrangement.

    It is so that the rocks do not have to do the preaching work.
