It does seem to be ramping up as it takes hold in new places. Iran looks like its going to get hit badly. Level 2 travel advisory warnings from the CDC for South Korea and Japan now. Elderly and those with medical conditions should consider postponing nonessential travel.

Why did Jesus piddle around for 40 days in the wilderness?
by nowwhat? inafter all he only had 3 and half years to perform his ministry so every day counted.
instead of witnessing to satan couldn't he have made better use of his time reaching as many people as possible?
just using some jdub reasoning on the matter..

Different numbers have particular significance in the bible. They reoccur with such regularity it is difficult to ignore. Twelve is an extremely common one. Ask yourself: Does the bible writer know that Jesus was in the wilderness for literally 40 days or was the number 40 used to represent an aspect of the story's meaning?

This is HUGE. No more Not at homes. No more noting down info for return visits.
Perhaps the service meeting will now have items helping ones to develop JW's memory skills.
With no proactive way of being able to record interest beyond first call, the pointlessness of field ministry is going to be even more evident. The chances of hours in service translating into bible studies & new members, much more remote.

I do remember thinking when the Tom Jones version came out that the guy comes over as a sex pest. Guess it depends on the singers involved as to how it comes over.

I think its true that by putting JW's side by side with Scientology, that Watchtower is always going to come off looking better by the comparison. Less nuts, less scary etc. So in that sense, they will come over as underwhelming.
On the other hand, by just making the connection between the two it inplants the idea that the JW are something scary and leverages the negative feelings that the audience have built up about Scientology over the course of the show and links them to JW's. Now, in people's minds, JW's don't go in the same box as harmless Christian religions, they belong in the box marked DANGER! LEAVE WELL ALONE. That is innoculation in my book.

You seem to be the one who is inflamed. What news channel have you been watching? Maybe you should switch over & watch something else.
