  If you go to the website and click on the small pictures, you can see all of the JW literature being used in this (mass) telephone and letter writing project. Clicking (might) work on the picture pasted below! So why go from door to door when you can sit on your butt and count all the time!

  Caption: Writing by hand is much slower so you get more hours! Make sure you look up each scripture and its supporting scriptures too!

  This reminds me of the letter writing group we sat in on for a few months. Shortly after we started, a new elder was assigned to "lead" the letter writing effort in the congo. He researched everything the WTS had ever written on the subject, including a KM which said very specifically that typed letters make a much better impression and were the preferred method of carrying out this facet of the ministry.

  You should have seen the crest-fallen faces when he showed up with a laptop computer in one hand and a printer under his arm. He set this all up and told the letter-writers, about 10 or 12 dubs who were mostly pioneers, and almost all in their teens or early 20s, that they were to compose their letters on the computer, run out a large number of them, stuff envelopes and attach labels with addresses (which he had already put into the computer).

  Someone pointed out that we'd go through the relatively few letter territories pretty quickly that way and that in a couple of weeks we'd be completely done and then what would we do?

  He just picked up the photocopy of the KM and read it aloud.

  Within a month, the "group" was down to 2 or 3; everyone else scattered.

  The only person I know that did this was a girl who was severely disabled. She was able to type out letters to the not at homes and houses they couldn't get to because of gated communities. She did well at this. I remember the year after I left the JW's I got one of her letters in the mail!
