  Is the preaching work, no longer the number 1 priority?

  by ToesUp in

  i have been observing a pattern in recent wtbs publications and events.

  is the importance of the preaching activity no longer the number 1 priority?

  are not billions of lives still at stake?.

  You are so sincere! Way more than I ever was. I can't wait till you decide to join the dark side. It's just a matter of time with all of the bad association that you are indulged in on this site.

  Trolley Stands Up, Door-to-Door Work Down?

  by steve2 in

  several threads have discussed the increased use of of the trolley work by witnesses in various countries (e.g, australia, new zealand, the states, canada and britain to name a few).

  several posters have described trolley settings as largely ignored by passersby and/or the witnesses immersed in everything other than appearing ready and waiting to make contact with passersby.

  what impact will this increased shift to trolley work have on the hallmark feature of jws, their door-to-door work?

  In my area the trolley witnessing has had little effect on our preaching. There are a lack of good areas to place the trolley that you can get approval for. Regardless only two "friends" are operating a trolley at a time. The rest are still expected to be knocking. 

  What i def do se though is a major decrease in zeal while preaching D2D.

  Canada's MACLEANS article "Against their will: Inside Canada’s forced marriages." The main subject in the story is an XJW we all know.

  forced marriage is one of the last taboos to break.

  a new law could make it a crime.

  Andersoninfo, thanks for sharing.

  i personally don't think this is common among witnesses in the US. I have no idea about other countries. Regardless, this was an interesting read.

  What is the furtherest your car group traveled to a return visit that counted as time?

  growing up i lived in the middle of florida in the southern part.

  i had a friend whose father was an elder, and would stay at their homes during the weekends.

  one of the "rules", as we all know jw love rules, was that who ever spent the night had to go out in field service on saturday.

  Sounds like my kind of morning. I am an expert at wasting time preaching. Never drove that far though. Prob 45 minutes is the max. A normal morning now entails 2 RVs, one nada-home, break, 1 RV and call it a day.

  I love the ex Mormon videos! Totally wish ex-dubs had something similar. They also seem to be very well made videos as well. It seems like someone with a little Ching is behind them.

  You could always ask her. Make it clear that if you have a child you never want them to step their foot in a KH. Her response will tell u a lot.

  Will there ever be another campaign like the 2006 one with kn37 ("The End of False Religion Is Near!")?

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  remember the 2006 tract campaign with kingdom news 37 - the end of false relgion is near!?

  it seems to me that jwdom has changed to the point that there will not be anymore such campaigns.

  it seems that the new rebranded jwdom is too soft for such a campaign; it's too feel-good, happy-clappy, and mainstream.. i just can't imagine a tract campaign like that coming from the new jwdom.

  Wow. That was already 8 years ago. This old system just keeps marching on. I don't think they would do another campaign like that again, but then again the Borg never ceases to surprise me.

  do we obsess about the jw org?

  i admit i do.

  the reason is that two of my offspring are still held hostages by the beliefs of the cult..
