  why won't witnesses use tv or radio?

  by moomanchu in

  the radio was used extensively in the 1920's and 1930's.

  by 1933 the society was using 403 radio stations to broadcast bible lectures.

  later, the use of the radio was largely replaced by increased house-to-house visits by witnesses with portable phonographs and recorded bible talks.

  another poster had the topic about your last meeting, but what really stands out for me is my last time in service.

  it was a nice day and i was trying to keep up appearances.

  i offered the rags a one door and the householder took them (i didn't bother with the donation spiel.

  i dont post too often but im always lurking from my workplace.

  but now i feel the need to ask for any advise from you guys.

  a while back, when i decided i had enough of the wt internal politics and the wait on jah attitude, i faded away from the hall and basically disappeared into the night.

  Interestingly Franz' book was called Crisis of Conscience not Crisis of Faith.

  There is lots to explore with regards to "Christian belief" and doctrine. You don't give all the details but recognising that WT claims are wrong doesn't necessarily equate with "The Bible is wrong" or "No where else to go"

  What makes your friend feel there is no hope after death?

  i found the dc very interesting this year do to my reading of this site.

  i took note that the danger of the internet was menitioned no less than three times, once with a demonstration showing a brother who found a site by a innocent search of the web on a jw subject to the very last talk, concluding remarks and final "resolution" that consisted of 10 items with number 10 staying away from dangerous sites and chat rooms.. makes you wonder what the real story is behind that much attention being given to this problem iof theirs.. oc

  KH presentations

  i was reading bythesea's thread about notes he took at a meeting.

  he said that the elder giving the public talk was quite entertaining with his props and illustrations.. now i thought that the society had tried to discourage speakers from using extesive props and pictures several years ago, but it did get me thinking.

  i've not been in a kh for over 7 years.

  It's amazing isn't it that when we were JWs we always thought we were at the cutting edge of technology with this sort of printing press and MEPS etc when actually their presentation and preaching methods are really antiquated.

  You're right Blondie all that stuff costs money, but the members of our church happilly gave to the project because we knew it would be good for our church ministry, good for the local community who also use our church (local school etc), good for the kids and young people in church who would use it and grow up knowing that they were part of a modern church family, oh and it was fun! (now there's a thought)
