PFM politics threads

Who is chasing who?

This is an open forum. Any participant can respond to any post if they choose to. If you want to direct your query to a specific individual and get a reply from them alone, best use the PM system.

I've taken a similar approach with JWs on a few occasions. Sadly, it only works once per address. They must be keeping a blacklist.

A Covid take on JW door bashing....?... Recently we received a handwritten letter, and hand addressed envelope from a JW member extolling their virtues.

As we launched it into the recycling bin, we wondered how many individual letters each local member was expected to write - more than a few would be long tedious process - perhaps similar to the long long tedious door knocking they traditionally engage in. A stamp on every letter will soon add up in cost too - if they write to every address in a neighbourhood.

Sorry - drifting OT.

Honestly, the way some of you go on here there is no way you'd last more than 10 minutes at Mumsnet

Not true! I lasted a few hours on Mumsnet.
I thought it best to introduce myself so tried a relaxed 'Hello Guys', but spell check changed it to 'Hello Gays'.
There was no way back from that.

Or indeed on an unmoderated forum. 'I hace reproted your poast', as we used to say.

The whole **T dynamic is quite nutty. It pops up out of the blue. It’s summer, the kids are bored, the faith big top comes to town for a bit of proselytising. There’s even two exciting new overseas pastors in the line up with eager local sponsors chaperoning the important guests.
There’s a set of rules about how the audience should listen, the manner in which they address the pastors and their helpers and above all the message that **T is the most important thing in the world. If you listen quietly and respectfully you get a fizzy drink at the end.

Weren’t you just moaning about **T being everywhere?

Are you describing a TED conference?

Yes, that's a covid thing, apparently. Someone at JW central decided that with personal visits off the table, substituting something equally arduous (hand-written letters) was acceptable.
