truthseeker...No argument with what you say.
My point is communicating is communicating is communicating.
In fact we can all learn from that WT advice on how to better communicate.
Sure, we don't like what they are trying to achieve. But it is their right to give normal advice.
Personally, I always try to keep eye contact unless I feel that it is making the other party uncomfortable.

Rekless....You probably met the lady at The Barrell.
Get your butt over here and I'll give you a bit of therapy with the aid of Bundaberg Rum.

Sorry Metatron...As much as I disagree with the WTS I can't agree with you on this point. The WTS is teaching it's adherents how to communicate. - not necessarily sales.
If I were training a sales team to go out and lecture against the JW message I'd be teaching them the same thing.
Nothing wrong with folk from either side of the fence training to be better communicators.
I hope that this doesn't mean that we aren't friends.
hey, everyone ---.
gumby suggested that i start a new thread with this information.. we can send e-greetings to ian while he is in the hospital.
volunteers at the christie hospital will print and deliver our greetings from 9-5 from m-f. so let's surprise ian (and the hospital volunteers!
You lazy friends..Send Ian a card........
He won't ever find a print-out email message in his bottom drawer in the years ahead.
Send him something physical, something that can go into an album.
It takes a bit of effort to buy and write and mail a card - but cards are kept. A printed out email is soon lost and forgotten.
Sorry - I am such a Luddite...........

Rekless...Do you remember the Texas Tavern at Kings Cross? Just up from the naval base?

Metatron...Good to see you back..
Having been a salesman for all of my life (although I lied to my kids and told them that I played a piano in a brothel) I don't have any problem with the WTS teaching this. This is good advice.
I made all of my kids read "How to Win Friends...etc" by Dale Carneigie. We all need to learn how to communicate. As much as I disagree with the WTS teachings, it is their right to teach their adherents how to better communicate.
Off the thread....if more folk read this Carnegie classic the world would be a better place.

Rekless.. if you have a dry, droll, sense of humour you are an honoury Australian.
I refuse to use LOL etc. If folk can't pick up on it that is their problem. But, gee, I've replied to heaps of PMs apologising to folk who I've upset.
In Australia, "you old bastard" is a term of affection. (Except for Uncle Bruce).

Best wishes to you Mexicans....Naah...I'm way out of the action. My mate John headed off from his cattle station at Richmond late last night with his big chainsaw and a generator to his house in Townsville. But at mid-morning his missus was out doing some gardening. He'll probably head north to give a bit of a hand. John loves cyclones...they bring him rain on his property.
a mafia boss is told that his book keeper has secretly embezzled several million dollars from the firm.
the boss is furious and is determined to speak to the book keeper himself.
the boss is sicilian and his italian has become very rusty over the years.
Clam...I've heard this before and I think that it is a really funny joke.
Maybe it is too subtle for folk of a different heritage.
