    "My mother-in-law is buying sheets of stamps 200 at a time plus envelopes and writing paper every month.

    She's an 83 year old pensioner. Some charity this is."

    In our area quite a few were buying stamps (US) online for super low prices, 30-40% lower than the current prices. Turned out they were counterfeit.

    LOL

    I could have told them the the post office doesn't sell stamps for a discount like that.

    I've never received so many JW letters as via the USPS past few yrs -- receiving couple mailings per yr. before Covid. I can't stand buying all the stamps as it is can't imagine - must cut down on the JWs monthly donations.

    If some of the hype re/the jabber negatives is true could be a rough couple yrs. ahead - might be limited amount of JWs doing door-to-door ministry. Hope negatives are 100% wrong - I prefer to have JWs well - very stressful!

    It will stop when the GB says "It's the time to stop, we close the door".

    If the WTBS wanted to become more mainstream there were always a couple of hard to unwind issues: shunning and field service. I think they may take this as an opportunity to finish up with the later. They could keep up the letter writing and actively encourage "informal" witnessing. While that's going on they can just let the Saturday morning drag yourself door to door business die on the vine.

    This may leave them looking for something to keep everybody busy. Based on past experience, I think they may find a way to pull another rabbit out of the hat.

    WT just announced resuming all forms of public ministry except door-to-door.

    So no dtd, yet. That means carts, buble studies. Returns, informal.

    The letter has to be the least effective method. Followed by dtd every Saturday, then phone.

    We can be sure atlantis will have the official verbose letter soon.
