We're Jehovah's Witnesses. We speak out in fearlessness.........

    A few months ago a JW lady knocked on my door. I say knocked, not rang the fully operational door bell. I told her I saw more Mormons than JWs. Shesaid she knocked on my very door about 3 months earlier. I'm home most Saturday mornings. After questioning her, she admitted to knocking, not ringing the bell. This time I heard her because I was in a part of the house closer to the door.

    Turns out, she doesn't want to bother people and wake them up. So she knocks. If they hear her, fine, if not, she's not waking anybody.

    So much for speaking out in fearlessness.

    I used to always knock rather than ring, I still do when at friends or whatever. You're maybe being a wee bit hard on her, doing the jw door chopping isn't the easiest thing in the world to do.

    GOB: Spineless nonentities, bereft of spiritual vision. They're happy to censure Catholics and Protestants, not Muslims; their worst nightmare is a suicide bomber showing up at a District Convention or at Bethel.

    jws - Same happened to me.

    iCeltic - Same here. Even as a JW I didn't see how door knocking was in any way effective.

    Room215 - Shows how much the GB trusts resurrection.

    frankie - LOL. Spot on.

    Why don't they denounce ISLAM and it's leaders the way they do the Catholic Church? That would show real brass BALLS.

    punkofnice - "Then why aren't the GB personally going out and spearheading the preaching in places like China for instance and Muslim countries?"

    No one there wants autographed NWT Bibles, probably...

    room 215 - "...their worst nightmare is a suicide bomber showing up at a District Convention or at Bethel..."

    I dunno... a bomb at a DC would definately reinforce the WTS's collective persecution complex (as long as none of the GB were there)...

    Bethel, though? Definately.

    Hmm...

    I can't help but wonder (and I am in no way promoting this); if the GB were all there at Bethel and were blown to smithereens, would that solve the problem or make it worse?

    @Vidiot: I think there would be a fairly large Exodus during the power vacuum / power struggle, coupled with the illusion of invulnerability being shattered. This coming from lurkers and those waking up looking for hard and fast proof that it's just a corporation. However, the die hard remnant would be even more fanatical and support whatever form of leadership which rears its head from Headquarters.

    DATA-DOG - Is this one of the photo shopped pictures where the 'ministry bags(TM)' have been added?

    jw07 - Indeed. But if they REALLY spoke out in fearlessness they would have no problem.

    vidiot - Yes. Autographed bibles....as if they wrote it!

    The WBT$ will survive somehow.
