    I recently had the pleasure of working on a house which also had a visit from the JW,s.

    As i was working away, i had a "listening ear" or should i say i overheard bits of the conversation, the main sentence being from the male jdub...." the scene of the world is changing". This was so comical as he repeated it around 5 times in 3 minutes!!, now i can remember from the ministry school the term "repitition for emphasis" but this was getting soooo predictable.

    My question is this a variation used by jw,s as an alternative to "the last days" term in which i used as a teenage jw ? and what exactly does "the scene of the world is changing" mean ?

    Anyone know of any new watchtower quotes or sayings?

    The householder seemed to put a few questions forward judging by the jws stance, he didnt seem to be doing much talking as he could,nt get a word in due to the householder having thier say on world events!!

    The jw offered his hand for a handshake as he left the door something also new to me. Is this a tactic a recomendation by the society?

    I would guess that "the scene of the world is changing" is the new catch phrase instituted shortly after 9/11. I had a sister come to my door using it then and said that the message right now was "one of comfort" which she repeated along with the "scene of the world changing." Because of 9/11, it makes people question and it give the JWs a new foot in the door. Can't say the "end is near" no more so they have to come up with something. I quess this is it! LOL
