one of the first things that shocked me when learning the truth about the truth was how the organisation uses tricks and deception to fool their own membership.
i guess we all have our own favourite examples, like the quotes in the publications that make outside sources look like they oppose the trinity/support the nwt/disprove evolution, when in context the intent of the original source is quite different.
or the grossly exaggerated experiences delivered at conventions: if we happen to know the person or were present at the events described we know it's often garbage what they say on stage, more closely resembling a desired script emanating from headquarters than anything that actually happened to real witnesses in the circuit or district.

bangalore.
Last week Sunday, I was woken up at about 8.30am to the sound of my doorbell, ringing off constantly as if someone had an emergency going on!
This was followed by the letter box clanging, as if a hundred junk mail leaflets were being thrust through the door like a scene from a Looney Tunes cartoon.
Now, I’m a man who takes his hygiene game seriously – I have to use the bathroom and freshen myself up the moment I wake up, but this constant knocking had me seriously worried. So as i put on my dressing gown with eyes barely opening, I fly down the stairs opening the door expecting to see the fire brigade, the police or even a worried neighbour…
On my doorstep, are two old ladies both standing there in their Sunday best with their widest smile, one with all 32 teeth showing, the other with maybe 24 teeth, both with their WatchTower Jehovah’s Witness magazines in hand!
Before I even had time to explain that I’m just not interested and I want to come back to my bed so, politely, leave me the hell alone, they jumped straight in and began explaining all the reasons why I would want them to go and the reasons why i should give them just 5 minutes of my time, to hear them out.
Because of their approach, I ended up given them about 10 minutes – once I firmly stated I’m not interested and I’m definitely going back to my bed and as they left to wake up next door, I did found myself admiring their tenacity, their resilience and their ability to stay focused on what they were ‘selling’.
So how does that all relate to business?
Here are a 5 things I have taken from that experience, that i feel is relevant:
1) Highlight the objections first - You will always receive an objection in the sales process. Fact. But it is to your advantage to research, plan and be both honest and transparent about your understanding of those objections from your customer’s perspective – build empathy, integrity and trust through a clear and open relationship with your customer first!
2) Never take no for an answer – The more no’s you receive, is the more likely you are to get a yes! The important thing, is that you understand why you are receiving those no’s and use that knowledge to create your responses / products / services ahead of the next customer interaction!
3) Stay professional at all times – This seems like a no-brainer, but being professional also means staying true to what you stand for, your ethics and your beliefs, whilst being open to debate and discuss with those who don’t share the same views as you. The art of education is to ‘lead out’ or ‘to bring forth’ – this only comes through clear communication and a genuine respect for diversity!
4) Ask for the sale – If you want your potential customer to buy from you, you will, at some point in the conversation, have to ask. SO MAKE SURE YOU ASK!! Fear of closing is such a troublesome area for many, for fear of rejection yet your potential customer will expect you to ask them. The key is to ensure that you ask the right questions i.e. What are the key reasons why you may not wish to make a purchase today? Would you like to go ahead now etc..
5) Say thankyou – Even the most aggressive, rude and obnoxious person will appreciate a genuine thank you, even if they choose not to buy from you. That one thank you, may be the very reason why they might from you at a later date and time too!
Being yourself regardless of the challenges you face, is something that we are helping aspiring entrepreneurs to do in The Hot500 – is there anything that you can do to help them too? Check us out here!

everyone knows a conspiracy theorist (let's face it we have a few on this board).
my attention has been to drawn to an article in the new york times, which i have pasted below.
apparently people with propensity to create conspiracy theory narratives are quite sane, even though they may have low self worth and cannot fully ascertain their place in the world.
Some of you might find this interesting.
