I bookmarked this a while ago and I've only just watched it. I don't think it's the JW who looks bad in the video, it's the arrogant prick giving out the orders and quoting parts of scripture like his rapping. Ya feel me, blud?

Video of JW's street witnessing using a tablet ... getting owned by BIble users
by wannabefree ini came across this video ... and watched it ... why?
i don't know really, but i found it intersting.. especially interesting was how these men used the bible, they knew their message, they used an actual hard copy bible that has obviously been studied, and the older jw man, well, he was using a tablet.
it seemed cumbersome compared to using the actual bible.

Steady on Captain. Ashamed? No. I admit I shouldn't have posted it but it's nothing to be ashamed of. If you think I should be ashamed about a harmless link then perhaps you need to get out more. It wouldn't be so bad but I'd already said sorry for wasting people's time in the post directly above yours, But I'm not ashamed. I haven't posted anything inappropriate. Just a poorly written article.

Well all the best with it all. I'll leave this thread now, exchanging insults isn't helping anyone.

No I've not resorted to ad homenem, unlike yourself. My thread title was copy and pasted straight from the article. Have you contacted them to show you disaproval of their headline for this story?
Cofty I couldn't careless if you care about my opinion or not, everything I said is true. You resorted to ad homenem attacks against Focus, but you're to arrogant to see it. I don't think you respect anyone elses opinion, with you it's a case of you're right, the people who agree with you are right, and anyone who disagrees with you is wrong. You even feel that you're in a position to tell people that they're outlook is immature, again as you did with Focus.
You also seem very manipulative in your attempts to turn people against VG. Clearly control issues. These are not insults by the way, I'm simply pointing out what I see.

Cofty said: "Its good to see you have toned down the hysteria and "everybody look at me" style that you had a few weeks ago.
Perhaps you are learning or growing up. Let's hope it lasts."
How very condescending. So because he/she has an "everybody look at me style" which you clearly don't like, that means he/she needs to alter their attitude to suit you? Just who do you think you are?
"Perhaps you are learning or growing up. Let's hope it lasts"
So, because he/she doesn't act exactly as you'd like them too, they need to grow up? So from that I take it you're faultless? You seem to upset a lot of people on the forum so perhaps you might need to ajust your own attitude? You think nothing of putting people down, but, as soon as somone does the same you shout for the teacher like a child.
As I understand it you were a JW for a while, no doubt whilst you were, you assumed everyone else was wrong and you were right? Then you were a born again for 10 years, I assume you had the same attitude as you did whilst a JW. Now! You think you're right and everyone else is wrong again. You've already been wrong twice, I don't think anyone should take you seriously.

Anyone Seen This
by lambsbottom inhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2691254/how-jehovahs-witnesses-got-street-smart-believers-swap-infamous-doorstepping-standing-outside-train-stations-shops.html.
it's a practice that's been the butt of jokes for decades: a pair of jehovah's witnesses turning up suited and booted on your doorstep.. but the days of the 140-year-old religious order's members trudging door-to-door in the rain could soon be numbered.. thousands have switched tactics to stand on street corners in more than a dozen cities across britain - and unusually for public preachers, they are staying almost completely silent.. leaders believe it is a better tactic in modern britain, where people do not like being approached directly and prefer browsing as if in a shop.. three years after the same tactic was introduced in new york, witnesses have been standing on pavements in at least 13 cities across britain and handing out tens of thousands of magazines.. unlike other evangelical preachers, they do not shout or call attention to themselves - instead standing in near-silence until someone approaches them.. 'i guess that's just not our style,' said mark o'malley, a spokesman for the jehovah's witnesses at their london headquarters.. 'we have used inventive approaches down the years.
we used "sound cars" in the 1930s which would relay lectures in the street from megaphones on the roof.. 'radio was used a lot later on and our members wore placards and sandwich boards.

The elder I studied with came to my house a month or so back and told me he's been doing metropolitan witnessing in Birmingham. He said he was aproached by a guy who said he was an Atheist, this guy asked the elder why he believed in God. The elder replied: " Do you know why I belive in God? I belive in God because of Ikea. I bought my son a shelving unit from Ikea which came flat packed, I layed all the parts out on the floor ready to be assembled. Now if I'd have left all those parts on the floor for years they still would have been exactly as I left them. The unit couldn't of assembled it's self." He said the Athiest guy gave him a look like he actually got it, and then just walked off. The elder told me that he thought he'd really got through to that guy. I shit you not he really said all this.
I just sat there thinking the Athiest must have just been shocked at what he'd just heard, thought the elder was beyond help and so he walked off. This elder has been a JW for over 40 years, so as log as they have people with his skills out in public I'd say an increase in numbers is unlikely.
My mothers friend who is also a JW said she was doing the trolly work and a young ish guy approached them, but he didn't seem to want to talk. So, she asked if he needed any help, at which point he broke down in tears and told her that he was raised a JW but left "The Truth" a few years ago and kew Jehovah didn't love him anymore because he'd spoken ill of God org. Anyway, long story short she asked if he would like her to arrange for a brother to call on him for a study. At which point he cried even more and couldn't thank her enough for helping him. Now, to me this guy sounded like he possibly had some mental health issues and would have been much better off seeking help for that than getting wrapped up with the JW's again.

Cofty: Like I've already said I stand by all my previous comments. I have nothing to apologize for. As for bohm, he asked a question, I gave an answer. Take heed? Oh dear, Cofty I'm lying here terrified after reading that Lmao. Anyhoo.... I'm happy with ALL my comments on this thread. I'll not keep going round in circles because cofty seems to think I should jump to his beat. That's all I have to say on this matter.

As somone ponied out, if the WTS used the term mild pedophilia there would be outrage on this site.
