When people are desperate they will cling to anything that seems like it will save them, and if it requires the effort of "Believing" what is sometimes unbelievable, they will believe it. Take many african countries that have double-digit unemployment, poverty, near-constant civil war, human rights abuses, horrible AIDS rates, growing malaria, returning polio.. Living forever in a park, meeting all your dead loved ones, and petting lions doesn't sound half bad. This is what the society has to sell. Putting too much effort in 3rd World countries allows the Watchtower to not have to change its course very much, but it may backfire on them in time. It certainly won't put much money in the coffers.

hope this thread lasts awhile, though on a certani level i just don't give a damn now. Simon or one of the mods can take it down, as it is verbottn as a politikal thread, and the candidate is not the one preferred by a UK poster.

Bisous, in answer to your question:
I am not offically involved in my favroite candidate's campaign (as yet) but I am working on helping his candidacy get more attention wherever possible. I am not sure what the specific time amount I have spent on that is. I gave up counting time, a long time ago.

Elder visits after disassociating?
by davidsf ini heard that after a jw has been disfellowshipped, elders will still periodically visit the person, once a year?, to see if his situation has changed and might be interested in studying again.
my question is, what if a jw disassociated himself?
some elders i have been avoiding for 10+ years discovered where i live and tried to visit me.
