23I have finally figured ot how a lot of JWs gain more members besides having more kids...
by cognac ini've noticed that when a bible study is conducted, when worldly people have questions a lot of jws say that there question is covered later in the book.
that way, the worldlys get stopped in there tracks all the while feeling like there questions are getting answered while the assimilation takes place.. they either forget there question or the book tells them what the answer is without either giving them biblical proof or twisting scriptures.
i've noticed a lot of paragraphs in books just telling people what the answer is without scriptures or saying something like, "surely it would make sense that...".

If they say they would like to meet with you...
Say, "Sure! I was hoping you would ask! You know, I was just gonna ask you, how do you know Jerusalem fell in 607 vs 586/587? I couldn't figure it out. If you could come over with the answer to that, that would be great! Give me a call when it's a good time for you!"

if a bible study or anyone you met at the door and the person asked about lets say the topic is hellfire or heaven or the trinity, then you were supposed to somehow get off that topic and switch it to a topic that you both agree on such as Jesus being Gods son or something or the bible being inspired by God. The whole point was to get that person agreeing with what you say and putting his 'real' questions on a back shelf and and if the person continues to study long enough and gets baptized then that person can't question the watchtowers view on who goes to heaven because then they will have the fear of being disfellowshipped or something.
Very true! They now have even instructed members to open the bible teach book to the toc and go directly to the chapter in the book that interests them. So, right away they are being told what to believe from the book...
