Going door to door handing out flyers advertsing a website is the virtual equivalent of sending someone a telegram telling them to look at their text messages.

The excitement here over the campaign is at fever pitch. Photos everywhere on FB of joyous worldwide (all nations have internet?!?!?!?) activity.
We used to study for service: d-t-d; backcalls/return visits; home Bible studies.
Today's excitement is based on nothing palpable (even though what we taught was off-center).

DATA-DOG: What makes you think we aren't in the great tribulation now? Religion is becoming passé (in some countries more than others), traditional morals are being challenged, and if the Society comes under fire for something like taxes or protecting molesters, that could be all they need to declare that the GT is upon us.
Granted, this would mean redefining the GT a bit, but there's nothing in the Bible that specifically says that false religion will be overthrown through soldiers marching on churches, gov'ts outlawing religions, etc. In fact the actual Revelation account is about the fall of Rome, not religion, but let's not get into that.
The main issue would be that Armageddon is supposed to come before the Society would collapse. If the Society goes under, or, more likely, things simply get back to normal for them after a while, they will have egg on their face at that point, when there's no big A materializing.

I think it's rather clever. Most people at the door do not want to talk about Jehovah, Jesus, Bible, religion, etc. They are through with it. Now, how will they respond to "a website"? Probably, not as immediate of a rejection. I've venture to say that most are going to not want to go further once they figure out it's just the JWs. Kind of like when you find what looks to be a real journalism article, only to find it's a article advertisement. There are going to be a few who will look at the website, and likely agree with the more mundane parts/opinions of the JWs. But, when the rubber meets the road, there isn't going to be a hell of a lot of new converts. They will google to figure out it's just a doomsday sect/cult And, it takes people to convert others into a cult. There has to be group indoctrination, groupthink, groupact, etc. Cult conversion doesn't happen with a website.
Both Scientology and the Mormon website have a "Meet a Scientologist" and "Meet a Mormon" Why? Becuase they know that people join for friendships. It's kind of sexy too, like Match.com! Sexy Mormons pop up, all wanting to meet Skeeter1! Scientology has videos of interesting members. The JWs have "Want a Bible Study?" No one wants a Bible study!!! Instead, they want cool friends!
