I doubt it will have much effect. Face it, how many placements left at the door are EVER read? A very small percentage. How many who recieve the tract will go on JW.ORG? Even less.

it will obviously make a difference to how jw's obtain their literatrash, they will have to download and print it all themselves before long.. it will make a small difference to the dtod work, they will now refer even genuine questions and interest etc to the site, not taking the opportunity to "witness" on the initial call at all.
this has been happening already to a degree.. the difference i am mainly interested in is the capture of new suckers in to the borg.. we will be able to see when we get 2014's figures, sometime next year, what the rate of increase was over the last ten years.. phizzy the prophet predicts that the rate of increase over the next ten years will not be significantly up.
probably down, but certainly, i feel, not so different from the last ten.. should i be around in ten years to do so, i will wish to ask jw's:.

The organization cherishes martyrs, the missionaries will stay.

The same reason white supremists have shitty teeth.

six amish men walk into a bar.. they're all dressed in the simple garb of the plain people broadcloth slacks, suspenders and straw hats.. they get on stage, with guitars, a keyboard, microphones and amplifiers.
Another joke:
Q: If 90 percent of the world's population were Amish, what would the rest of us be?
A: Van drivers

The only truth that I learned from the organization is this: Religion is a snare and a racket!
The Watchtower taught me very well to hate all other religions. Then they taught me to hate them too.

a super bat-shit crazy invitation to pioneer in august??
i stumbled upon something the other day, but i have been hesitant to post it.
i am afraid that it could be a local thing and thereby traced back to me.
Another trumpet blast, except out the other end.

here's an interesting excerpt from forged by bart ehrman (pay particular attention to the last sentence):.
"a number of the books of the new testament were disputed already in early christianity, among the christian scholars of the second to the fourth centuries, who were arguing over which books should be included in scripture.. the most famous instance is the book of revelation.
a third-century christian scholar of alexandria, egypt, named dionysius, argued that the book was not actually written by jesuss disciple john, the son of zebedee.
Vid,
Good point!
