am I the only one that finds it funny that the organization's campaign this month is to offer a printed magazine that is simply an ad for a website? What's more is they have printed close to 50 mil copies which will be delivered by an army of volunteers who drive minivans and knock on the doors of empty houses repeatedly until they find someone at home.....
Can you imagine facebook going door to door to spread the word about how awesome their site is?

Genius!
"On the jw org, a magazine has been uploaded
which advertizes
jw org."
This, my friends, is called INCEPTION. :)
"On the jw org, a magazine has been uploaded which advertizes jw org."
Don't forget, the Society also wants Witnesses to direct householders to the web site on their computer/tablet. Imagine them going to a door and saying, "Let me show you our website, JW.org -- and here's a magazine you can read which talks about JW.org". The householder's head will explode.
Are they actually doing this? This is so sad....
The website looks well made, but it is the most inane, cult flavoured nonsense I have ever seen. The JW's dont bother reading the literature delivered to them in white vans, they won't sit and read those old articles just because they are online.
As for non-JW's the site offers nohing but strange 'stepford wife' like family advice 70 years out of date and bizzare views on science and technology.
Websites are a useful tool, this is something WT don't get. This forum is big because it is a tool for finding and signposting information PEOPLE WANT. Google is a tool, pornhub is a tool, bbc news is a tool, netflix is a tool... JW.ORG is an advertisment for a cult. They are trying to push something onto people in a media format that relies on people naturally finding there way to it due to its use or current status in society, i.e. how cool it is.
JW.org is bound to fail as there is no finishing line, there is no success point, no goal. It is simply there to be ignored. Anyone googling the JW's due to an interest maybe after a chat with them or concerned for a family member, will not be stupid enough to go to JW.org, we are a consumer society we read reviews, we hunt for negative opinions on toasters, nevermind our next religion. JW.org will not satisfy what JWfacts, Watchtower Quotes, Freeminds and the thousands of youtube videos, winning the online JW-exJW war on information can offer.
Watchtower is such a spooky name in 2014, with such a sensitivty to freedom as we have today, the word just screams control and constant overlooking of a big brother. WATCHTOWER ! It also has no obvious religious or scriptural basis to the masses and most JW's making it a very cold and lifeless word. Knowing this, they have opted for this movement towards JW.ORG ...... a clear PR campaign in progress. But they are SO DUMB, they claim to be a religion, the whole world whether religious or not, is dubious about belief systems and their motivations, namely...is it about the money? The jw's have gone ahead and called themselves jw. ORG. When you see a ORG website, it screams BUSINESS, INDUSTRY, MONEY, it does not communicate religious love and tolerance... Facepalm.
and so now...they are forced to use their FREE manpower, to go door to door, slipping a leaflet through every letterbox advertising this religious business new pr campaign. Let's hope for our ex associates sake, it is letterboxes, who wants a discussion at the door about a website? Yuck !
Yes, snare&Racket, its for real. When I saw the magazine in question, I thought to myself...."no way, just no way I'm going to push that". Its getting so beyond stupid, that's why it just doesnt sound real. The JW.ORG website and WT is transforming into one big advertisement for itself. I like the "Inception" reference, fits perfectly.
But alas, they are serious.
The website has one thing missing. A forum hahaha!!! That would be cool. Kate xx

I hope that everyone asks JWs if they can give them something in return and carry a Sharpie or pre-printed, permanent labels with QR codes with them. After overcoming JWs objectiosn of not being able to accept religious material, write www.jwfacts.com, www.freedomofmind.com, or some other reputable website or attach labels on the advertising and then hand back the flyers to the JWs.
Worst case is that the JWs will run away and may never bother you again. Best case is that they will not be able to count placing the flyer and may even visit the website.
Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,
Robert
P.S. - If JWs do a drop and run, write the website on the flyer and then paper the local KH's front door with flyers.
Stop it. Seriously. Tears are coming out of my eyes. This has got to be the silliest thing they've done this year. ROFL
70 years out of date and bizzare views on science and technology
I think you're being too generous there. More like 170 years, and in some cases, more than that. Victorian at best, Medieval at worst.
