    PREACHING METHODS (17 min.) From house to house

    The faithful and discreet slave has indicated that our primary way of spreading the good news continues to be the house-to-house ministry ( km 7/13 4 par. 1)

    That method of preaching has its basis in the Scriptures (Ac 5:42; 20:20, 21; w91 1/15 12 par. 8) As pioneers, you realize that person-to-person discussions on the doorstep are very effective.

    WTF are these guys smokin?????? Person to person discussions are very effective?

    I attend most meetings . Every public prayer now mentions either/all

    Governing Body

    Faithful slave

    Organization

    Elders

    Very alarming

    @LostGeneration,

    They mean that computer-to-person, or person-to-dog, or even person-to-rock is not a good method of preaching. But person-to-person is. That's all.

    Of course something the FDS GB would know nothing about. They just do administration.

    [Determine if the congregation’s territory has areas of high pedestrian traffic and if it would be practical to organize public witnessing if such is not already being done. See the latest direction on the subject of public witnessing in Index to Letters for Bodies of Elders (S-22)]

    Some congregations may not have a location in their territory that has sufficient pedestrian traffic to justify setting up a table or making use of a mobile literature display. However, even in those congregations, publishers are encouraged to consider including public witnessing in their ministry

    Whichever way you look at it, the renewed push for public witnessing continues to gather pace. I have a hunch, however, that the push will fail to yield the results the GB is pushing for and that only a minority of Witnesses will take it up. The incentive for pioneers, of course, will be a relatively cruise-like way to count time: Standing behind a stand, sipping coffee, chatting to your brothers and sisters as passersby pass by without even noticing....

    Question: What were the instructions afterwards? Why was there a change to carrying a money bag and food pouch?
    [In anticipation of future hostility toward his disciples and the expansion of the preaching work into other territories (Ac 1:8; 16:19-24)]

    This is a principle the faithful and discreet slave has followed as the world changes

    How exactly does moving the world headquarters from Brooklyn to Warwick advance kingdom interests?

    "Jesus has placed a weighty responsibility on the Governing Body. "

    So Warren Jeffs. He started with that sort of thing, then got weirder and more brutal and controlling. Watch that space.

    Jesus has placed a weighty responsibility on the Governing Body. That responsibility includes overseeing material assets, the preaching activity, assembly and convention programs, and the production of Bible literature for use in the field ministry and in personal and congregation study

    the time-tested scam of converting Jesus into cash and property using the gullible as raw materials for the machine.

    I wonder if they might go down the mega-church route in urban areas?
