  i wanted to get your thoughts on the claim that pharaoh's drowned army was discovered.

  the claim comes from ron wyatt.

  he seems to have a cult following and some critics to his claims.

He does have some photos as proof and I haven't found a critic that refutes the photographs. Could this be proof of the biblical account? You be the judge.

  Going door to door to recruit members doesn't work

  when you look at all the hours they do going door to door world wide and then you look at how many hours preaching it takes to bring just 1 person to their organization, it's not efficient.. my mom goes to a baptist church now, and i was surprised to know that 500 go to that meeting on sundays and they don't go door to door to go get these people.. there might be 80 witnesses at my hall and going door to door doesn't make much of a difference.

  maybe it's even counter productive since people don't like being pested at home..

  Although the main goal of the house-to-house work is to recruit new members (find lost sheep), it also accomplishes much more. Witnesses distribute literature that warns people of the upcoming destruction of this system of things. Whether or not they pay attention to those warnings is up to them, but the Witnesses did their work. It also helps identify those that are following Christs command to preach the good news. Witnesses are well known for their door-to-door activity. Some might mock them or think of them as weird, but it doesn't erase the fact that they are known for their preaching work.

  I do concur that many hours are dedicated, but can it really be considered a waste of time?

  When someone goes missing, a human chain is sometimes formed to search nearby fields or forests. Many hundreds of people dedicate time and effort to search for the missing one. When the person is found (dead or alive), it is only one or two that finds that person, but was it a waste of time for the other hundred that were involved in the search?

  This is how Witnesses look at their work. It takes time, effort and countless hours to find the few remaining sheep-like ones among the world.
