Different Types of Witnessing
by drahcir yarrum ini went to a district assembly in omaha back in the 1970's and got roped into doing street witnessing wearing one of those sandwich boards.
i felt like a complete idiot, but was talked into it by a jw girl i liked at the time.
anyway, i was wondering if anyone else here ever did this.

Our Great Freeness of Speech
by comment infor a non-witness, in particular, "our great freeness of speech" has to be one of the most misleading phrases in the witness lexicon.. it's often asserted from the platform that jehovah's witnesses enjoy great freedom among themselves, and scriptures like 1 timothy 3:13 are cited to corroborate this: "for the men who minister in a fine manner are acquiring for themselves a fine standing and great freeness of speech in the faith in connection with christ jesus.".
influenced by such other phrases like "conscience matter" and "personal decision," a non-witness may be led to believe: "wow, they get to make up their own minds about a lot of things!
that sure is different from all these other authoritarian religions.".
