20 min: "Reaching as Many People as Possible."*
20 minutes to cover what, a one page article that could be summed up in about 3 sentences. I used to dread being assigned one of these parts, trying to figure out how the heck I could drag it out for 20 whole minutes...
No Apologies
Ooooh local needs. . . . Those are always entertaining. We can either hear the gossip confirmed or get pounded about not doing enough.
No thanks.

In each demonstration, show a different way to handle the potential conversation stopper "I'm busy."
HH: Sorry, but I don't have time to talk right now, I think I'm going into labour!!
JW: I understand. But tell me, have you ever stopped to wonder why women have labour pains in the first place? The bible tells us it's because Eve gave an apple to Adam. I'd like to read this account to you in Genesis chapter 3.............
1 Jesus' early followers earnestly sought to spread the Kingdom message. They took practical steps to make the good news available to as many people as possible.
What practical steps do JW's take?
1- Calling at homes in working class hoods during the datyime - % or persons home = 5%?
2- Calling at homes at 9 in the morning Saturday in working class hoods - % of tired people not interested = 99%
3- Pushing literature on people that just want to get rid of them = 100%
4- ACTUAL intellectual discussions with those interested in the JW form of 'good news' = 0%
5- Real Bible discussions = 0%

Ah, it was always great getting this assignment and being the asshole elder of the month.
