New policy.
pg17 "Young ones, if you live in a land where the laws permits it, do you give God glory by witnessing in school, or do you allow fear of man to hold you back?
Begs the question since public preaching is banned in many places in the east does this mean that there is a whole class of non preaching JWs?
pg19 "Remember, though, that preaching is just one way in which we bring glory to Jehovah. By being exemplary in our conduct and apperance when we are on our job, in school, and at home, we make Jehovah's heart rejoice"
Okay I feel that in the west where hours are droping they will promote aiding in short bethel stints, MTS, aux pioneering, but they are going to let the d2d work wither and BTW they have no chioce cuz people just are not going out. In the banned lands looks like they are thinking of pulling the plug on them braving persecution to witness and seems to be telling them to follow the law.
How many people wana guess in 30 years the wts d2d work will only be slightly more involved than other evangelical churches in the civilized world, and only old school jwism will be practiced in the 3rd world where they are usually already 30 years behind the times in everything else.
