I would imagine the above YouTube video illustrates the denseness of critical thought coming from a mindless person. This works against anyone trying to criticize others. It does bring up a question. Did Jesus and his apostles waste their time, walking long distance, town to town, city to city, house to house to bring the gospel of God to the people? Is cart witnessing any different?
When organizations use televangelism as a choice, are they wrong? What say the critics?

The first rule of Super Extra Double Plus Special Closed Club, is to never talk about Super Extra Double Plus Special Closed Club.

In this case, I was just making a joke. The ‘American thinking cap’ strikes again. I don’t know of such groups. Just one scholarly one in which participants are not necessarily even Witnesses. It is invitation only and I have never been invited. Nothing scholarly about me. I just putter.
Other than that, there are groups and forums everywhere. People can get in simply by asking and meeting minimal qualifications. You never know for sure who the others are. I keep my distance, for the most part. It’s all I can do to keep up with my own stuff.

And there are ones more special still that even you don’t know about.

I felt sorry for a man that had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.
I felt sorry for a man who was paranoid, until I met a man who was paranoid and had no sense of humor.

They say that money cannot buy happiness…… But I strongly suspect you can rent happiness.
To me happiness would be a brand new cherry red Bell 505 helicopter with pontoons for landing on the water.
….. of course, if money is a problem, they do cost about 2 1/2 million dollars, you can always finance it for seven years and only $111,500 a month.

Can you prove where JW's have rejected Christ? The above reveals more accusations than biblical support. I don't support unfounded accusations that are personal. 
While I can see where a rogue agent would go against the church as it was done in Christ time, There is no evidence, Elders nor anyone taking on the responsibility of God's Holy Spirit to act as equal to Christ. Not even the apostles did that.
If Jesus didn't consider himself equal to God, then, it would condemn Christ if he had. Scripture is clear of who should have responsibilities to Shepherd God's sheep. That's undeniable, and cannot be challenged by anyone. Anyone taking steps to deny God's arrangement is in fact denying God. That is also undisputable.
That would mean, that person is acting independent of God's word and is now making it known that person in part, is dealing with man's corrupt ideology, in essence, following men.
An exceptionable text to fix that problem is: John 10:1-27, Matthew 18:12

It appears there is a strong effort to cast doubt in who supplies the Holy Spirit by confusing the issue. There is no indication in scripture where God doesn't supply his Holy Spirit to those he chooses as earthly vessels and spokesmen, to care over his flock. That includes elders.
"Question 3: Paul clearly said in the Bible: “Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers, to feed the church of God …” (Act 20:28). This proves that pastors and elders are all anointed by the Holy Spirit. Doesn’t being anointed by the Holy Spirit represent being anointed by God?"
Therefore, the above misspoken deed holds more to the confusion of a spiritual JEW, that was inflicting their personal ideology on the population. Something not worthy of Christian rights, and is a lack of bible understanding.

I’m not so sure. Whenever a person with an odd name appears out of nowhere (especially when another of odd name has disappeared) and becomes intensely active, we can suspect another reincarnation of you know who. 
That’s not to say it’s a bad thing, necessarily. I mean, just look at who he is squaring off against—hardly a paragon of fair play or reasonableness.
That said, a couple of innocent people have been caught in that net, so you never know. Only ONE person—a certain wizard in internet technology who takes the place of ‘only your hairdresser knows for sure’—can be said to know.

I don't think we use those forms any more....at least I haven't for years...

Hmmm…… they don’t have a column for smartphone screen time!

This shows, how an opposing view can be seen as a false assumption in the eyes of the beholder. If the reference is about 1914, and 1975 for example, then, people that deny Christ, denies written knowledge found within the pages of scripture. That in its self is a slap in the face of Christ, since God would guide any future generation to a better understanding. 
The proposition that recording territory was beneath Christ, and a waste of time, is a modern false equivalency. Christ travels along the apostles were recorded and entered, in the bible. Can we not see, similarities with "Judas" being a treasure?
Failing these understanding, is in support of men, and have an independent ideology. Something JW's do not submit to.

 
 

Who cares?
If it’s a total waste of time …. It’s THEIRS to waste!

I guess the above-mentioned, works for the zeal of Christ and the Apostles that continued that fine work. Apostle Paul comes to mind. Yet, to some extent, someone might think that kind of work can be exaggerated or excessive, while Jesus wouldn't have thought of it that way. It's good to know there are still people willing to proclaim the good news with such passion as it was done in Jesus time.  An Organization that follows Jesus teachings can only be a fine example on how not to listen to old and forgotten members that just couldn't appreciate those teachings.
 

I guess you havent tried it. There are many countries where there is still many responses.... and in those where there are not significant  responses... jehovah sees the faithfulness of the sisters and the public are reminded when they see the stands. Every time they ignore us they are making a choice!
You see nothing we do for jehovah is vanity or in vain.  Wasting time on other pursuits is vanity as Solomon said.  
 

Just to be seen, this is in itself a Witness. Also, those who are really interested, they find a way to come and take literature. 

…. Because although God is the Sovereign of the Universe, he needs clergy to manage money.

We picked about as many bad apple-related puns as we did apples that day. That's because there's always a cornucopia of corny puns to cope with. They're like low-hanging fruit. I do remember one really dumb "pear" joke I made on the hayride when we passed up the rows of out-of-season pears, and I saw one still on a tree:  I started singing:  ". . . And a Bartlett in a pear tree."  [wrong crowd?]
But I made an unrelated but even odder "pair" joke on the way back home. Unfortunately, it was kind of an off-color joke, for my wife's ears only, that I shouldn't repeat here.
So here goes: 😮
It was based on an actual experience from a couple of days earlier when my wife didn't have the cash at the time to tip the nail salon people and she sent me back there with the tip a couple hours later. I was to find two people, Tina and Lee-Lee, the owner and the "nail-doer," respectively. It was my first time in a nail salon, surrounded by women, and I played up that part of the story when my wife asked me if I had found everyone OK. (Wives won't always admit it, but there is a certain kind of tension when they've just send their husbands into a bevy of women to represent them.)
So all that background of the story had almost nothing to do with the joke. Almost. I thought it would be fun to tell my wife about a certain woman I saw in the nail salon who was just finishing up getting intricate designs put on her nails by the same nail-doer, Lee-Lee, and I had to interrupt them. In excruciating detail I described to my wife how the woman getting her nails done had these extreme upper body elements that reminded me of when Dolly Parton once described her bra with the words, "It's like trying to put 100 pounds of mud in a 50-pound gunny sack." 
But I also mentioned to my wife that, waiting out in front of the salon, was another woman in a car who had almost exactly the same figure, and the same mode of displaying it with a lower-than-low-cut blouse. (Or maybe it was a dress; I don't remember looking.)
I said to myself: I bet that woman in the car is waiting for the same woman I just interrupted. And I'll bet she is going to get in the same car with her. And sure enough, as I was getting back to my own car, that other woman left the salon and got in the car with her, right there in front of the salon.
"How do you think that I was able to predict that this was going to happen?" I asked my by-now-thoroughly-exasperated wife.
