jws don't waste time talking today.
she knocked on door, husband answered, she said were doing a world wide work and shoved a pamplet in his hand and left.
i remember the days when we actually try to get the householders in a conversation.
Special Tract Work was done in a 'blitzing' style.
I remember from the platform our entire presentation was suggested to be: "Good Morning, I'm taking part in the worldwide distribution of this tract. This is your free copy. Thank you. Good-bye!"
I think we had 10 days to get rid of place 50 tracts.
Maybe there is s blitz-type promotion happening now?
I don't know, just guessing. It *has* been one of their promotional strategies.

we've discussed this on lots of threads, but i've noticed a few things lately.
they seem to be talking about the early days on a very regular basis, almost constantly.
the change to fds happens and this involved a dive into early history and a few knocks on russell.

QUESTION: What is the 'Silver Sword'? Is this something that a JWN poster came up with or is it a real JW phrase?

I've enjoyed your posts and hope things are OK with you. If you need to remove something specific from your post(s), send a copy of the link to Simon or Angharad. To remove your entire account, it's not usually done. Best to send a pm to Simon if that's what you really need.
I hope you decide to stay. But if not, it's been nice having you here with us.

there are rumors out, that the italy (rome) bethel is being shut down and putting out to pasture a large portion of the bethel staff.. has anyone heard anything... ?.
the word is that everyone but the most senior members will be let go.
the senior bethel family members will be reassigned.
LaFrancia asked: what is MARKED and MARKING ?
It is a personal note to myself (and apparently another poster) that we find the thread interesting and want to be able come back to it later on. Either there is information already presented or we expect more content and it's a way to remind ourselves to come back at a later time.
By 'marking' it, we can quickly and easily find it when we click on our own personal profile and select 'Topics Posted On'.
For me, I have nothing to add to the conversation so did not want to interrupt the discussion. But I wanted to leave my 'mark' for later.
Thank you for your efforts and contributions to this forum and the other site.

besty made a business trip to california last week.
naturally, i had to get together with him.
That was a fun evening! I was trying to figure out what was up with your 'mustache'. Oh! It's the cigar.
@VillageGirl - yes, this is the right sight. We had a quiet, unadvertised mini-apostafest last week. So far this is the only photo to surface - that I'm aware of. But I don't think this particular photo was taken by the meth-head. I think it was the 2nd volunteer that took this one. I say that because it's not blurry!
Good times! Thanks again~!! I hope WhoKnows and SweetPea can make it next time.

while doing work for a client in her office recently, we got into a light discussion about religion.
she knew i was one of jehovahs witnesses as our business relationship started while i was still a loyal and believing jw.
anyway, i said something that she knew didnt quite fit and she said ... i thought you were one of jehovahs witnesses ... i shared my story ... she felt comfortable to confide in me a story as to why, even though she has had dealings with jehovahs witnesses who she thinks are good people, she would never even consider listening to them about their religion.. i asked her if she would write it down for me so that i could share ... she agreed.. this is her experience.. .
Sad. I wonder why the courts did not step in and take action... ?
