Controversial Opinion: Why the web site campaign is actually brilliant

by Apognophos in

there's a lot of talk right now about how stupid it is to have jws hand out leaflets with urls on them.

"why go to someone's door to tell them they can visit a web site that lets them ask for someone to come to their door?

" well, i'm sorry, but i have to weigh in with a contrary opinion here on how clever the society is.

@galaxie of course not. Overhere we have at least 20 national tv stations that compete with eachother. That means that every station has just a small share of all viewers and it means that only a small share of viewers would be reached.

Secondly who says that the 30 second clip would get their attention?

During this first two weeks i already heard a lot of my non-jw aquaintances talking about getting this JW.ORG tract. Most of them got it at their doorstep instead of in the mailbox. This means it got their attention 100%,.. someone in person showed up and gave it to them accompanied with some friendly words. Much more impact than a 30 second clip.

Besides getting a 30second clip on air in 239 countries during prime time would be a waste of a lot of money. This campaign does not go on for 30 seconds but 30 days,.. 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week on many loacations around the world.

Its a brilliant move

What Could Hacker Do To The JW.Org Site?

by frankiespeakin in

i really don't know anything about what hackers do.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hacker_(computer_security).

in the computer security context, a hacker is someone who seeks and exploits weaknesses in a computer system or computer network.

hackers may be motivated by a multitude of reasons, such as profit, protest, challenge or enjoyment.

my guess is that they have faced a good number of cyber attacks already

Did the organization admit declining growth and stagnation in today's watchtower?

did anyone catch this quote?

"over seven and a half million witnesses of jehovah really have found him and they truly love him.".

why are they no longer touting "nearly 8 million" witnesses?

insidetheKH

the nr of peak publishers will be well over 8 million in 2014.

My guess is that this watchtower article is referring to the average number of publishers during 2012/2013

Will the JW.Org Site make a difference ?

by Phizzy in

it will obviously make a difference to how jw's obtain their literatrash, they will have to download and print it all themselves before long.. it will make a small difference to the dtod work, they will now refer even genuine questions and interest etc to the site, not taking the opportunity to "witness" on the initial call at all.

this has been happening already to a degree.. the difference i am mainly interested in is the capture of new suckers in to the borg.. we will be able to see when we get 2014's figures, sometime next year, what the rate of increase was over the last ten years.. phizzy the prophet predicts that the rate of increase over the next ten years will not be significantly up.

probably down, but certainly, i feel, not so different from the last ten.. should i be around in ten years to do so, i will wish to ask jw's:.

@steve in 2013 about 49,000 people requested a bible study through JW.ORG. This year that number is expected to be higher

@Dis-member sites like alexa.com, quantcast and compete will not give you any reliable figures since they work with panels (limited groups) of people. They look at the behaviour of those limited groups and extrapolate that to the U.S and World Population to get their estimates.

Its not about HITS but actual people !

About 1 million people (unique visitors / average daily figure) visited JW.ORG each day in 2014. At this very moment it is well over a million people a day.

out of date references at assembly

by purrpurr in

at the last district convention i remember feeling really embarrassed by the out of date references made about wars and other issues.

for instance, they talked about the hutus and tootises also the serbs and croatians when they talked about war.

they also talked about dr spock telling people not to smack children.

insidetheKH

@purrpurr there is a reason why they did refer to events like the genocide in Rwanda . Its documented in a report from a human rights organisation (African Rights) and reported to the Worldwide Council of Churches at their annual meeting that all christian denominations and religions were involved in the killing and genocide.. except for 1 religion.. Jehovah's Witnesses.
