Thanks Atlantis! I guess this goes with the theme of the 2024 conventions 'Declare the Good News!'

Shows that there is a need to push the Ministry. The end of counting time must mean that they inevitably do less.., I would.

Less is a risk you won't make it.
More might not be enough.
As in all merit-salvation based religions, you never have assurance of anything.

This just shows the territory is not getting done. All COs in London are asking why is there still virgin territory that has never been done since it was built? Why are you not getting around your maps?
the answer is because JWs are not doing more than 10mins door to door before coffee break.
covid changed everything. Zoom was enjoyable with the excuse saying we are writing letters but we were not doing that. We were just enjoying chatting together on zoom.
now nobody wants to go door to door. Everyone hates it especially young ones who fear calling on school friends.
this campaign in London will still not get the territory done, many will fancy a little holiday in London visiting these congregations.
there will be a good turn out at all the groups and there will be some great gatherings for coffee breaks. It will be a good social life for all involved.
but there will not be all that much door to door work done and the territory will still not be getting covered like it used to

We had a similar thing happen during zoom, special campaign JWs joining us on zoom to write letters to London addresses. Which when you think about it was nonsense. But it was interesting having all these zoom meetings and getting to know different ones from all over the place. We still keep in touch with some friends we made during that time.
this time around there will be hundreds travelling to stay in London for weeks at a time. And then coming to the min groups in the mornings then special refreshments at different peoples homes. The sisters take these gatherings seriously all competing to outdo each other.
We are really looking forward to next October just for the social aspect but we will not do one single door anymore. Like many we just don’t do that anymore and never really did it much every actually.
we go on groups for sure and sometimes can’t get out of being given territory somewhere but never actually go there, just say we are doing calls or informal witnessing, then coffee

"Virgin territory"? Does that mean new housing estates that have never been visited/canvassed by JWs?

Reminds me of going out in the Ministry while attending a convention, back in childhood days. We would get a map and sparse directions then spend all the time trying to find it. ,
