Tula,
Interesting point, you seem quite taken aback by my comment.
Jesus didnt care for celebrity, he cared for those who were repressed by a corrupt religious organization and he looked for people with strong character and a natural love for jehovah.
He broke away for social tradition by talking to the Samaritan woman and by protecting Mary from being stoned and a lot of other things that we all know.
Did he go door to door? Well the scriptures indicated he did and its not exactly ambiguous about it.
Have another little read through the gospels, if you still cant find it, let me know and I will shoot the relevant scriptures across to ya.
Kindest,
Jeff

Has WTS abandoned "house to house" ministry?
by ozziepost inmany years ago now i remember hearing harold king sing the song he had composed whilst incarcerated for his beliefs in china; it was called "house to house".. nowadays it doesn't seem as though it's in favor.
notice its own description of its ministry which the wts has placed on its website:.
jehovah's witnesses are probably best known for their person-to-person ministry.

New Light Extravagansa!!
by jefferywhat ina lot of people are in a little fuss about the generation change, which as far as im concerned, doesn't change anything, it could be step one of a bigger adjustment down the track, but on its own, its been done.
but at the annual meeting of the wtbs, there wasn't 1 but 5 changes of thought, the light has literally exploded.
one that has caught my attention is the the change on the dragnet of matthew 13. if you have wt 92 6/15 read it!

One that has caught my attention is the the change on the dragnet of Matthew 13. If you have WT 92 6/15 read it! It is a thorough understanding at the time, it mentions 1935( or mid 30's) as basically the end of gathering the anointed and the therefore the end of the dragnet process ( the dragnet was the process whereby christianity either accurate or not, brought people to the dragnet, whereby the Angels would keep the good fish, think John West). Even though the anointed then used this dragnet to gather the GC, its original use was finished.
But now that 1935 has gone, the process of the dragnet has changed!!
And it now.......... drum role.............. ( NEW LIGHT) applies to JW's as much as all christian religions and it no longer ended in 1935ish , i.e. you could be caught by a great fisher of man, dedicate yourself and continue serving for a time, but if you turn away its because the angels have found you unworthy and have pulled you out of the net.
So no longer are you deemed a fathful fish just because your dedicated and babtized, you are still being judged.
It is sort of a cousin of the sheep and goats, so it makes sense that this separating work is not complete yet.

I actually wrote a letter to bethel about this some time back, at the start of the last century we prided ourselves on our early adoption of technology and now we are way behind.
There are so many forms of media not being utilized, the only reason Jesus did door to door is because that was the only option.
The economies of scale do not add up for the old method of door knocking, I go out mid week and weekends.....no one is home....ever, if they are, they're unemployed or on drugs!!
I think we need to introduce "new media" before we can get the "new system"

Sharing the 'real' truth by commenting at meetings
by skeeder inhaving recently gotten my commenting 'privleges' back i try to sow seeds of truth with them.. here are two tidbits i have shared:.
1----- the bible highlights-------when the older men judged legal cases, they did it at the city gates where the proceedings could be observed.. 2-----wt study yesterday-----the world was judged wicked and noah was judged righteous---he was a 'preacher of righteousness' before he started on the ark.
there is no indication that god ever intended for anyone else other than noah and his family to get on the ark.

the problem is: half of them is sleeping and does not hear it, the other half doesn't understand it.
Haahaaahaa!!
True, when your giving a talk you look down and know 3 people are listening, 16 people are really bored, 5 MTS boys think they could be doing a way better job, all the elders are up the back sorting out the cleaning roster, theres 12 women out the back with all the kids, 8 people cant hear you because they have lost their hearing, 4 couples are still getting over there argument, 55 others are working out how to pay there bills and what color carpet to buy and two teenagers want to shag and cant stop looking at each other!!
Have I missed anyone out? -

If he has only been removed, they can be re appointed next CO visit, straight back to elder, but in the case of Reproof by JC, its on record and refereed too for 5 years.
