Phone Witnessing...
by RichieRich inin my congregation, there is a well established group that does phone witnessing every thursday.
the society actually encourages us to try other avenues of ministry, however it seems like phone witnessing is hurting more than its helping.... even i, the covert apostate, don't mind phone witnessing.
i mean whats not to love?air conditioningfoodsitting around and talkinggirlsdid i mention food?.

Quotes, that was awesome! I will never get such a chance unless I change my phone number or move. LOL If I ever do get a phone-witnessing call, I'll have to remember some of those points! I take it Nimrod never called back?
====================
Am an shocked, surprised, and dissappointed to report that as of 16 months later, this gentleman still has not called me back, despite his original promise to do so. Maybe he doesn't feel my life should be saved by his life-saving message? ;)

Think about the Governing Body for a minute.
Don't you think they make a strong case for RETROACTIVE ABORTION or Abortion up to the 1000th month (or 110th trimester)

Phone witnessing (when actually done, and not calling the Weather Report number) is EXCELLENT!
It allows me to ANTI-WITNESS in the comfort of my own home, and I have the convenience of referring to the World Wide Web without appearing rude (since they can't see me).
Here is what happened when I was phone-witnessed in March 2004 (the only time I've been contacted in almost a decade... that's some urgent, life-saving work there!)

Sounds like you had an interesting conversation, Z.
Ask your friend if he thinks that Jesus chose this religion in 1919, above all others, to be his spokesman, because they were the slave delivering food at the proper time.
When he says yes, ask him to outline exactly *WHAT* they believed in 1919 that put them above all other religions.
If he does his homework (he won't) he'll find that the vast majority of things NOW believed, were NOT believed then. The remaining things are/were NOT UNIQUE to JWs/WTS/IBSA.
There is not proof of their divine appointment. And until you remove their divine approval from JWs thinking, nothing you say will have any result.

Name Some Double Standards of Jehovah's Witnesses
by minimus inhere's one: a jw cannot lie ' liars are subject to the "second death".
but if you "lie" for the interests of the organization, suddenly it's not a "lie" after all!
because the opposers are not "entitled" to know.

Catholic Church "joins UN" as an N.G.O., and it proves they are the harlot riding the wild beast. Also, no JW can use the gym facilites at the YMCA, because that is supporting false religion. There is not good reason to support false religion!!! Ever!!!
Compared to:
WTS "joins UN" as an N.G.O., and (after initial denials) is defended by JWs with well, they must have had a good reason! Yeah, they had to use the Wild Beast's library! What is possibly wrong with that?

Talk 45: FOLLOW THE WAY TO LIFE
Note to the speaker:
Develop audience’s appreciation for the wise sayings inspired by Jehovah that are contained in the book of Proverbs. We can show wisdom ourselves by listening and applying these inspired sayingsLIFE IS A VERY PRECIOUS GIFT (4 min.)
All of us are concerned with getting the best out of life (w85 8/15 11-16)
We desire good health so we can enjoy our life
Frustrating to see the limitations poor health brings
Can thank parents we are alive and have opportunity to do things
It is most important that we thank Jehovah, the One who makes all life possible (Ps 36: 9)
He knows the things we need, the way of life that brings greatest happiness, the principles for a successful life, as well as our prospects for the future (Pr 9: 10, 11)
Will consider some examples in the book of Proverbs that can help us on the way to lifePROVERBS GIVES WISE GUIDE FOR HAPPY LIFE (20 min.)
How to be liked
Show kindness and trueness (Pr 3: 3, 4; 11:17); speak honestly (Pr 3:29); speak mildly and of what is good (Pr 15: 1, 2); show loyalty (Pr 18: 24)
Making a living
Real success comes with industry and advance planning (Pr 6: 6-11); diligence (Pr 10: 4, 5); honesty (Pr 11: 1); good judgment (Pr 11:15); doing skilled work (Pr 22:29); not putting all our trust in income (Pr 11: 28)
Achieving a happy family life
Try to be understanding and tactful (Pr 16: 21, 23, 24; 17: 1); be forgiving (Pr 17: 9, 13); be loving (Pr 10:12); be faithful to mate (Pr 5: 15-20); husband should provide well for family (Pr 12:11); wife should care well for family (Pr 31: 11, 12, 15, 26-28); train children well (Pr 13:24; 15: 5, 20; 22: 6, 15; 29: 15, 17); show respect for older ones (Pr 1: 8, 9; 19:26; 23: 22, 24, 25)
Avoiding problems
Morality protects against health problems (Pr 5: 3-11; 6: 24-33); calmness aids health (Pr 14:30); mildness helps prevent anger (Pr 15:4, 18); do not retaliate (Pr 24:29); avoid drunkenness (Pr 20: 1; 23: 20, 21, 29-35)FEAR OF JEHOVAH A BASIC REQUIREMENT FOR ETERNAL LIFE (10 min.)
Are these proverbs just a matter of following common sense [see W common sense 2] to live a good life, or is there something more to life? (Pr 6: 23)
Why does Proverbs 1:7 say that fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge?
Listening to Jehovah leads to everlasting life (Pr 3: 13-18)
Calls to mind the prospect of everlasting life Jehovah set before perfect man in Eden
How can we gain the prize of life? Just by living a "good [virtuous] life”?
Consider Proverbs 4: 4, 10, 11; John 17:3
Doing things Jehovah’s way is a requirement for everlasting life
Congregation arrangement and personal Bible study will help us learn what God requires of us (Pr 24: 3)
Meetings motivate us to share knowledge of God’s Word by engaging in field service (Pr 3: 27; 15:7a)
Are helped to come close to Jehovah in personal relationship and prayer (Pr 15: 29)
Can gain assistance from elders in congregation (Pr 24:6b)
Should grow in appreciation for our need of God’s guidance (Pr 16: 9)
We should become teachers of God’s Word, holding Bible studies with others (Pr 1: 2-6)
Feed sheeplike ones on every occasion, as we have been fed at meetings (Joh 21: 15-17)JESUS -- THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE (6 min.)
No one comes to the Father and receives life except through Jesus (Joh 14: 6)
Our approach to God depends on our faith in Jesus’ sacrifice
Do we want to follow his course of life, even though it may bring opposition, so we can approach the Father, the Grand Giver of everlasting life? Is this way too difficult?
Jesus showed that most people would not follow this course, yet he recommended it (Mt 7: 13, 14)
Is this narrow, cramped road so restrictive that it takes the joy out of living now if we are to gain a future reward? Is that what Jesus meant about a cramped road? (w77 621-5; it-2 168 2)
Jehovah has given us guidelines for successful living that will keep us in the bounds of his favor and headed in the right direction while giving us a full life with no regrets (Pr 4: 10-13)
Faithfully follow Jesus’ example in preaching and teaching "good news” (Mt 9: 35-38; 28: 19, 20)BE AMONG THE WISE ONES WHO FOLLOW JEHOVAH’S WAY TO LIFE (5 min.)
How happy we can be to know that Jehovah’s way is best!
It is the way not only to a happy life now but to everlasting life under the rule of Christ as Prince of Peace
While way is open to all, most persons foolishly follow broad way to destruction
Even in days of apostles, many spoke injuriously about this way (Ac 19: 9)
Do we want to take our place among those described at Proverbs 6: 12-19?
Or do we want to follow wise way that leads to life? (Pr 8: 32-35; 22: 4)
This includes helping others to learn about the right way also
May we take wise course, Jehovah’s way, to everlasting life! (Pr 12: 28)

FMZ, I don't know. I've never tried that -- pretty dangerous stuff!
Personally, I would try setting up an FTP server (at an obscure port, like 2600 instead of 26) and just use (password protected, not anonymous) FTP. Or use Secure FTP (SFTP). Or use FTP after tunneling in with SSH.
A thought: did your experiment fail (perhaps) because your ISP is deliberately blocking those ports upstream, to protect L-Users from unintentionally connecting thier Windows shares with the world? I wouldn't be surprised.
