  Wednesday, Aug. 21: Persuasion

  The offer you can't refuse. The chance of a lifetime. The deal of the century. Every day, the people with something to sell are thinking of new lures to get us to buy. Tonight, Chronicle uncovers some of their secrets.

  We'll meet the super salesmen who gave us the immortal phrase, "But wait, there's more," and sold millions of Ginsu knives along the way.

  Mary Kay's Stephanie Kinnit explains how "warm chattering" can sell cosmetics in Downtown Crossing. We'll go door to door with a Jehovah's Witness minister and meet one of Boston's premier public relations professionals, the legendary Peggy Rose.

  Public image improvement I suppose but kind of exposes them for the publishing agents and solicitors that they really are. Just salespeople in behalf of a religious publishing empire which I suppose would be like selling for Mary Kay minus the religious aspect. Sad to also think that they have to lure people instead of just discussing bible principles as Jesus did. It just cheapens the whole aspect of ministry and makes it seem like a numbers game, a competition to sell. Glad im no longer part of it.

  LMAO... I love how JWs call it "Jehovah's Witness headquarters". When a non-JW hears that the religious center is called a "headquarters" they always get the same WTF? look on their face.

  I remember when a visiting elder from Bethel was visiting our congregation. One of our kiss-ass elders was taking him around meeting everyone before the meeting one Sunday when he came up to me and introduced the Bethel elder to me. After introducing him by name the elder said, "he's visiting from headquarters". I couldn't help myself. I looked at the Bethel elder for a second and then I said to our elder, "You mean, he's from heaven??" The look of open-mouth dumbness on the elder's face was priceless.
