jw's will never knock on your door and say, "hi, we are here to convert you".
speaking to a reporter recently a jw media rep at hq said " our main purpose going door to door is not to convert but to share bible truths with people".
does anyone know the sales techniques involved here?
Exactly the way an Insurance Agent frames his wording--I am not here to sell insurance, but to share information about insurance.
After purchasing one, when you really need insurance coverage for some loss, then their concern would be how to not give insurance, seeking for all loopholes that would make you ineligible.
we want people to learn ttatt.
we have numerous resources online to draw jws in so that they will wake up.
however, i've noted some radical methods that have been used by fellow exjws, and quite frankly, this must stop.

My own twin sister who is a zealous JW stopped preaching to me when I asked her this question:
If God is able to listen to the prayers of billions of people (as all religions teach), then it must equally be easy for God to communicate with all people simultaneously. Without going for such an easy option, why does He use people like you to communicate with other people?
thumbs-up gesture doesn’t covey much if we see only four fingers closed and thumb standing upward.
but if we look for the implied meaning, then it is a positive, informal signal indicating a job well done, and saying ‘keep it up.’.
similarly, biblical accounts don’t convey much if we see them as mere accounts.
If what religions teach (God can listen to prayers of billions of people simultaneously) is true, then it would mean He can also communicate with billions of people simultaneously.
Yet He doesn't do that? Why? It is of no use. Everyone knows one day he would die, and has seen the death of many people, and billions of people who ever lived on earth are no more--yet most people behave as though they won't die, get immersed in accumulation of things in abundance which they won't finish using before their death. Why does this sure thing as death have no effect on people? If this doesn't influence people, what else would influence?

To JWs coming to me I always say: "Religion must be chosen after you are mature enough to do so--may be in the second half of your life, after making enough observations." This is implied in the famous verse of Jesus:
"By their fruit you will recognize them"--Mathew 7:16
Then I put a question to them: If you really follow Jesus, what you will do first?
Jesus defied/rejected the Scriptures of his time, and appealed to each one's conscience--Mathew 7:12
this has always baffled me.
that is why was satan and his demons allowed to be in heaven for so long after they split from god?.
if we did that then we are out of the congregation, members are shunned and also kicked out of families homes.
since leaving and fading.
i don't celebrate christmas but in its place which is sad i know.
we have present day.
Any festival is a joyous occasion. The word “festival” in one language means “that which makes you feel elevated.”
Doing something that makes you feel elevated can never be wrong under any circumstances—especially so Jesus has categorically declared that there is no distinction of pagan and non-pagan in the eyes of God (Mathew 5:44-48)
