  How many brought to the JWs by the door to door work?

  by undercover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  minimus stated in another thread that 99% of newly baptized jws are children/teens of jws.

  another poster said that they knew of only one person baptized in 20 years of door to door work.. let's do an informal, unscientific poll/survey:.

  how many here were brought into the "truth", whether baptized or unbaptized publishers, by means of the door to door work having no prior experience with jws?

  Jill and I were door-to-door converts in 1981, but somewhat prompted by an informal "witness" of someone who was studying in the UK. In the local congo of ~150 publishers I would guess that during our tenure (1981-1998) there were about 15 dood-to-door converts baptized in total, so about 1 a year. Glen

  i got this idea from the thread about fun.

  For some reason I always enjoyed making an environment for the younger ones to enjoy themselves. As I always said "if I had been raised in the Troof I would have been df'd before I turned 18". O, I mention those names in case any are lurking - I want them to know how much I liked them, they are still part of my life. Glen

  Rutherford is my hobby. He was the Evil Slave. Without him there would be no JWs. I am writing a black humor novel on the return of the Ancient Worthies. So not sudden interest for me, but I am happy to copy others' work and store it with my own research. Thank you all.

  Yep it was the good times with the people as I remember, and it often included alcohol. There was a local family with a Bethelite, and when he came home he would always have a party with only the "A" list invited. Always lots of fun. I remember Odrade there one time. The A list were the ones who would not tell the Elders if something a little over the top happened. In the later years I would always bring the beer, since I worked for a brewery. And I would have them over to play pool, I had a keg too. I cannot hear the first Counting Crows' album or Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody without thinking of Tim Altimus, Josh Sommer, Larry and Mona Gould and Diana Alter. And those were happy times. We had bunco and poker parties, playing for points and gifts for the winners - we had unXmas Eve and non-New Years Eve parties to boot! I got talked to a few times - I was told that the word was for the older youths that if you wanted a good time go to the James'. I am happy to be of service! Glen

Is it not hypocritical when you chide the "poor deluded Catholic" that his faith cannot find a Bible passage to support it, when the same goes for you and 1935? http://www.bible.ca/jw-questions.htm

  Great comments all. Thank you. More fodder to highlight what a smary ol' bastard Rutherford was. No wonder the vast majority of IBSA members never became JW's!

  You could study, get baptized, paw at the cute sisters and get disfellowshipped.

  You could say you are interested, ask them to wait while you dress and don't come back to the door, ever.

  You could try blowing smoke, literally.

  You could say you have some interesting literature from 1917 for them to read, and bring out The Finished Mystery book

  You could demand that they put your name and house on their do-not-call list and demand to see that written down on the territory card before they leave your porch.

  6. Their kids have been caught getting drunk, but it was swept under the carpet

  5. Their brothers are planning on becoming Elders too

  4. They support the spread of outrageous lies about their Opponents

  3. Their Dads were Elders too

  2. They both believe what they are saying but don?t really understand it

  1. They are both governed by a bunch of old men who believe in a New World Order, which most of the world disagree with
