Non-JW notices the D-to-D drop off

by careful in

an interesting link that notes how jw (and mormon) door-to-door evangelism has dropped off:.

the aussie writer notices that instead they have "set up a stall in the carpark at the supermarket.".

I think most (western) areas show this but I wonder, how do the circuit overseers cope with this? I remember how they always were pushing the service overseer and the publishers to try to visit the householder twice a year. I left the Borg before my first opportunity to do cart witnessing, so I "missed" this new era...

maybe the face book logo will replace the sign.

those buildings owned by wt were the most bland buildings in the area.

Dutch conventions organized like circuits

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

here in holland jw.org is organizing for the first time the yearly conventions like circuits.

the whole summer the new convention hall is used for small group conventions instead of 10.000 seat external halls.. it keeps the money in the organization.

not renting external buildings.. the 29.000 witnesses here are divided now into 2.000 seat audience.. g..

Thanks Gorby, my old cong will have their convention new style at 21-23 july and they will have to drive 40-45 minutes longer to get to Swifterbant instead of Utrecht . "Unfortunately" my family got out in 2015, so we will never taste this $pirit-directed improvement...

Instead...

The spinning blade of a Sword and the 2 Angels guarding the gate....

by stuckinarut2 in

for some reason i found myself shaking my head once again in disbelief at the story in genesis.. amongst all things, the very concept of a "flaming sword" spinning around and blocking the "entrance to the garden of eden" is so stupid!.

do people really believe that as a fact?.

seriously, swords were not even invented at that time!

Point 2 of what whizzstick said.

So far for the sword. What bothers me even more... why put angels, who are hyper intelligent, at one spot for hundreds of years? Wouldn't they be bored to death because they would lack stimulus for their divine intellect? I mean, the angels couldn't even play hide-and-seek with each other.

Seems cruel to me...
