@ Jeff - "There have been weird articles on occasion lately, esp the Amazing Awake of July 09. Who knows....."
Yep, that one and another last summer about reading the Bible with an open mind (which was exactly what I was doing at the time and it was leading me to apostasy..)
I agree; I think there has been someone or persons in the Writing Dept who have been putting some wee gems out there.

Well, to the average Protestant, you're only "saved" if you are born again from the Holy Spirit, and they know JWs teach that only 144,000 are born again.
To their minds, that is teaching that only 144,000 are saved. Just sayin'. *G*
Yep, that's about right.

I'm with you on this, boyzone. Just before I started to wake up to the truth about the WTS I began questioning the door-to-door ministry. Is it the best way to get the message out there when we've got tools like the internet, was my thinking?
My conviction is that the WTS want to keep the Witnesses going door-to-door for one reason; to stay beneath the radar. Here in the west, if we're confronted with something new and (perhaps) interesting, what's the first thing we'll door? Google it. The WTS know that if the door-to-door ministry was actually successful, i.e. people were found at home, they're running the risk of people Googling "Jehovah's Witness" and coming across sites like this one and freeminds.org.
Just my take on it.
