I was reading the thread about the use of technology at the meetings, do the JW's still place the WT and Awakes ?

    I haven't been to a meeting in years, or door to door in years. I have been out for a long time now. My mom visited recently and she is a devoted JW for 50 years now. She told me how they play a video at the door now. I was wondering do they still try to "place the WT and Awake or new books?

    Yeah, but not nearly as much. Mostly videos, tracts, stuff they had lying around in stock, and some WT/Awake. The latter two have been reduced from 32 pages to 16, and only 1 issue per month (instead of 2)...

    Digital placings (ie showing a video, mailing a link to JW.org) are counted on the field service report now too (but not reported to HQ)

    I don't know about most people but there is no way in hell I would open my door for someone to show me something on a tablet! I dont ever open my screen door for a salesperson, I tell them to leave it in the door if they have a piece of paper advertisement. Does anyone know what kind of reception this generally gets?

    That is the weirdest goddamn thing.

    @Vidiot,

    How else could elders possibly measure your spiritul health? I mean...really talking with dubs as if they are human beings is not precise enough, too much work, and too hard to summarize for the CO.
