Active and/or Witnesses in good standing with the congregation: What brings you here?
by feenx ina question was posed on another thread whether or not those of us on this board who are no longer a part of the organization should be mindful of our words on this board so as not to upset any active witnesses.
there are some, including myself, that feel there aren't really any active jw's on here.
those who are still in the organization that post here are usually looking to leave, or seeking opinions on how to handle fading away.. i would be very interested, with complete respect, hearing something from any active witness as to what draws them to this site.

How did you respond?
by Simon Morley inwe have not attended any meetings for several months now as we continue our fade.
how have you dealt with the nosey parkers who hold the territory that you live in and insist on "dropping by".
first it was the family that holds the card and then a coule of other familes as they work our territory.. i am tired of not answering the door (they know we are home) and need a cute but not revealing comeback to the "we miss you at the meetings" line.

Encouraging Service Talk
by Nephilim ini remember a talk that was delivered at an assembly a while back that was repeated many times in my old hall and i remember it had a line in it that had one of those effects on people like they would go into a silent trance.
if you were allowed to "oooh!
" or "awe!

by Married to the Mob intd made an interesting point in a anther thread that jw attracts unhappy people.
i agree with him but i have another theory, maybe its not true but there must be an element to it.. independent adaptive thinking.

Handbill for 2010 District Conventions
by dozy inthe wts has announced the usual handbill invitation "campaign" for the conventions this year.
i haven't seen a copy but i assume that it will be similar to the one for congregation meetings and from previous years.
the usual 30 per publisher allocation.. i seriously wonder about the efficacy of these campaigns.
