The zeal has gone out of the preaching work , their is no more urgency to the work.

    This is an observation I have made . Yesterday a group of JW`s entered the street where I live , I`m at the end of a street and they stood around and obviously joked and mucked around for about 10 minutes as a group opposite my house .Their were 3 teenage girls ,1 teenage boy , and 3 older men . This was about 10:30 am on a saturday. ( I did think I was veiwed as an apostate as the last time they were in my neighbourhood they bypassed our house.)

    fair enough the teenagers were carrying on as teenagers do , flirting ? touching , shoving ? and 3 older men in their midst. Remember this is a serious work they are doing , warning the non JW`s of the impending catastrophe that is going to engulf them at armageddon any day now.

    Finally they decided to start working the territory again . Two of the older guys came up my path and knocked on the door , I was really relaxing that morning and was still in my PJ`s , when I went to change and came back in ony a couple of minutes they were gone. As I watched them go out of my home their was no recording of a not at home slip , so they could come back .

    No leaflet , no brochure , no watchtower or awake , nothing to say they were ever their . That is in total contrast to what we went through in the mid seventies , back calls ,return visits , even when you covered the territory and recorded not at homes you went back and called again on the not at homes you previously recorded . I always left some thing to say I called . Do they still use , what do you call them ? tracts thats it do they still use them ? I have never seen one in 20 years .in two states

    I believe the tract work has become even more central to their preaching work, hasn't it? They have had several new tracts released, and they are now required to report how many tracts have been placed.

    Then why not shove one through Smiddy's door ?

    I think now most JW's are simply out in FS to be seen out in FS by other JW's, they don't give a monkey's fart whether they talk to people or not, and would probably be completely flummoxed if someone showed a bit of interst, they would never have experienced that before !

    Most JW's are totally incapable of holding a sensible conversation based on the Bible, they ain't in your league Rory.
