First, I will never give out tracts about a website.
Second, it is not a new 'method'- just a temporary work with good intentions.
Third, if YOU don't preach, you are a hypocrite for playing judge.
the subject of jw.org and its tentacles reaching everywhere has already been discussed at length; however, jw kith and kin are going gangbusters on social media.
i lost it when i saw da vinci's most famous lady wearing a jw.org button as a brooch.
in hand, she had a tract, which i assumed had not yet been perused (she was distracted, apparently, while posing for the real master).. my dear and otherwise studious jws -- many very good at preaching and in human relations -- are obeying wt directives and just handing out the tracts in service and advertising up a storm on the internet.

don't have too many people at parties, be carefull about drinking alchohol, dancing, music,anything that can stumble another brother whether or not it is condemned in the bible the list is endless.. how is 100+ years of flip flops and constantly changing doctrine not been a stumbling block to brothers?.
You stumble over the word stumble, while stumbling over simple courtesies...
this i never understood, the publications say that gods name translated from hebrew is yaweh.
why add a whole bunch of letters and vowels that change the sound of the name completely?
i've often thought surely we would gain greater respect on the ministry if we used a name that is historically and verbally accurate?.
You SHOULD be amused...you have no clue...
yesturday, i was talking to a friend and she said that in order to get a degree from a local college, they require a completed a public speaking course.
i said that was no problem, because i had been in a public speaking school for 40 years.
she looked at me like i had three heads.
The Ministy School USED to train us to be excellent speakers; it has now beeen warped to turn us into Readers....
as you know, my husband has physically left the witnesses.
he nevertheless clings to many of the beliefs like a protective cloak, and every once in a while i trigger a dissonant episode where my reality clashes with his.
recently he listened in on my work research, a video of a futurist describing the a potential "disruptive change" event in the next fifteen years, as our culture shifts to autonomic (driverless) vehicles.
I am FAR from being a Negative person- but FACTS are still FACTS.
Denial, as I see here, only fools yourself.

Jehovah/Yahweh is the ONLY true God.
Christ Jesus the one He has appointed to rule and set matters straight.
The 2 most important facts there are.
while i'm glad i found this site, it has also crumbled to bits everything i've believed in my whole life.
i feel like the certainty, magic and wonder has gone out of my life.
this has left a huge hole in my soul.
From Wisdom to Idiocy...
i've been having a bit of an email exchange with elder dad and i need some advice.
i thought i was getting through to him but i think my criticism and tone became a bit too strident in my last email and now he thinks that i am attacking him personally.
i think he has dismissed everything i said because he perceived me as 'overally critical, and rude.. .
" The thin bones in the fins of some fish strengthened in order to let them..." How did the bones determine that was necessary, and carry out the specific processes necessary to carry that out?
Good ol' 'Natural' Selection?
" Gradually fish were able to come onto land more and more."
So, it was a Joint Venture, eh? Fish all over the world made up their minds to live on the land, and forced their boidies to develop accordingly?
That is why Evolutiuon is even more retarded than even church dogma.

How does the Tooth Fairy (Natural Selection) help the first fish
(ASSuming the first living 'amino acid cell' was able to survive & develop)
that 'wanted' to become a land animal begin choosing modifications
so it could move about on LAND, and the physical attributes it would need to survive
THAT new environment?
How long does the fish keep flopping onto the shore?
Since, according to the Magic Formula of Evolution,
adaptations of this magnitude take "millions and
millions of years", how do OTHER fish carry out his
objective when he dies? Do millions of OTHER fish die, flopping
around on the shore, until some changes finally begin taking place?
When magically being able to walk around, eat, find shelter, etc
on land, how does it reproduce, unless he is joined by a female companion?
Has one been evolving "side by side"?
(We know what evolutionists will say: autogamy- SELF reproduction...
for, as with Religious discussions, they will grasp at ANY
straw to support their belief- but this 'fish' is now a different creature-
HOW did it reproduce?)
Can any kind of honest ANSWER to such serious questions be given?
Do you have a fear of discovering yourself Wrong- or
WELCOME it if you are; NOTHING is more important than the Truth!
Overthrow Gullibility!
To elaborate;
Think of how EVERYTHING in the first living organism had to change to an EXTREME degree:
it's 'brain'(motor center'), a skeleton, organs, nervous and digestive system had to be formed-
and much more! AND they had to do so in HARMONY with one another!
To accomplish that, SPECIFIC methods had to be chosen and PERCEIVED!
Buuut- they have no intelligence, and there is no God to direct!
So all the impossiblilites of this scenario take place by one accident after another-
trillions of times in an organized series of patterns!
Adults have their OWN Fairy Tales!
