  How often do you see the Witnesses out on the ministry?

  by rory-ks in

  i only ask because i hardly ever see them out on the ministry.

  it is a very rare sighting to spot them actively engaged in the house to house ministry.

  or out on the street work, in the marketplace, etc.. the other reason i ask is because they are constantly pictured as being on the preaching work.

  All the time with their carts obstructing the pavement!!!

  saw some yesterday on old fashioned D2D - you can spot them a mile off! But generally, very infrequently in d2d.

  "do you realize how much of a privelge it is to enjoy the visit of the circuit overseer?

  they are appointed by the governing body who in turn are apointed by jesus and holy spirit.

  so you have a great privilege when we visit your congregation, because it is the same thing as having jesus visit you.

  just spotted witnesses handing out brochures like they were going out of fashion this afternoon.

  this was at oxford circus in london (one of the busiest shopping areas of london).

  they were actually getting in the way and had boxes of the rubbish!!.

  They look so uninterested and prefer to talk to each other. They truly are a "happy people"!

  Of course everyone was laden with shopping bags so they were having no success. I must see them about 3/4 times a week just standing there! Easy way to get hours in!

  English Speaking Congregations in Mexico...

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  has anyone read a letter or heard of english-speaking congos being shut down in mexico?

  an elder told me that this was happening, and that it was based on a "scriptural precedent.

  " sounds like downsizing with a made-up bs reason to me.

  Yes, I have. The english cong was split into two about 2 years ago (maybe slightly less) and have now be merged into one again. Not sure what the official explanation was - family don't talk about witness things to me and this was mentioned in passing.

  Dubbies stopped by

  by rebel8 in

  2. friends

  well just like everyone else, we were visited by 2 old ladies.

  mr. rebel8 was home and it went something like, "we're on a worldwide mission and we wanted to know if we could just leave this in your door.

  " so he said ok and took it (because he knew i'd have fun with it later).. the tract reads like a note i passed to a boy in 1st grade:.

  I got that tract through my door a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't believe how basic it was!

  I vote for the winter solstice!

  Blood sausage

  by stillin in

  2. beliefs

  while visiting our neighbors across the pond, i visited a butcher store to rustle up something for supper.

  that was the first time i had ever seen blood sausage.

  we just never see it over here in the states.. when a witness leaves the organization over there, do they all eat blood sausage once again?

  I'm sure that Coftys old hall used to be a church. The local KH in London was a church.

  A congregation in Edinburgh sold their hall to a tai chi centre or something similar.
