Going door to door to recruit members doesn't work
by JH inwhen you look at all the hours they do going door to door world wide and then you look at how many hours preaching it takes to bring just 1 person to their organization, it's not efficient.. my mom goes to a baptist church now, and i was surprised to know that 500 go to that meeting on sundays and they don't go door to door to go get these people.. there might be 80 witnesses at my hall and going door to door doesn't make much of a difference.
maybe it's even counter productive since people don't like being pested at home..

My Bethel Experience Part 17
by new boy inmore "odds and ends".
i liked lyman swingle (governing body member)......he knew when to curse at the right time.
i think, thats why i went to him, when i was having so much trouble with debbie's parents.......he seemed "cool" and down to earth.............he might have been bit of a racist though.. one time a self righteous (known as sr) new boy, went to him and complained about what he heard in the bindery..........."brother swingle" the kid said "i heard some brothers cursing, in the bindery!

Kung Fu films
by Clam inare you into martial arts films?
at the top of my list of course is bruce lee, but i quite like some of the modern films, particularly stephen chow stuff like kung fu hustle or shaolin soccer.
i don't watch them very often but i find them slightly mesmerising, even though they are mostly ludicrously far fetched.

Just attended my first 'Church event' in over 40 years! Maybe two!
by AK - Jeff inin spite of the fact that i consider myself christian now, post exit of the watchtower religion, i have not attended a single religious event or sermon inside a church since i was 5 years old [1960].
today, we attended the christmas play for my 5 year old g-daughter at the church where she attends pre-school.
i was absolutely ecstatic with the program.

Talk on Apostates
by IslandBrother inhave you ever walked on the beach and tried following another persons footprints; matching your own steps with them as exactly as possible?
by calling ourselves christians, we have indicated our desire to do just that, to follow closely in the footsteps of christ.
have you ever noticed though that on a crowded beach, , there were several sets of footprints, many of them may look alike.
