JW Pressroom on Social Media

Also, you seem to imply that generating sympathy is a bad thing. I don't think it's a bad thing

 

In ancient Rome when Christians were being publicly burned alive and thrown to the lions in the circus, people began to admire more and more the courage of Christians in the face of death and wondered why their faith was so strong, and many eventually converted

The more people know about Jehovah's people, the better

Im not telling Jehovah anything.

Im am just telling logic, please think before you reply!

Sorry that is my humble opinion 

Do you realize it is the GB that approved this?  It’s announced in the congregations.  By criticizing the action, you are essentially criticizing Jehovah as he and Jesus are directing the work.

An extremely strange thing to say!! 
 

Why would we need sympathy??
 

Initially, I somewhat was thinking the same - "Sympathy"?? Then I looked up the word ... even though I felt pretty confident in the meaning and found this:

"Agreement with or support for an opinion or position."

"agreement, consonance, or accord"

So, for me, yes, I agree and can understand better @Jim Jam

Not too strange. Or ... is it? 😆

Agreed. I assume that some people may be reluctant to visit JW.org because it is a religious site, however the social media sites make some of the information available to them and perhaps they will eventually visit JW.org for more information.

Sympathy is a quality we as Christians should express. 

 

Hebrew 10:34 says it’s okay to feel sympathy for Christian’s who are in prison. If we are to feel it, why we should prohibit others from feeling it?

 

I don’t understand. Please explain.

But think of it this way. 

 

For many years, and currently, The Watchtower is the most widely circulated publication in the world.  This pairs nicely with the Best-Selling Book of all time ~ the Bible.

 

I think it would be fabulous if our social media accounts reached the top-tier.  If the brothers add a few hundred languages, we could even reach number one!!!!

 

Many people have 'heard' of Jehovah's Witnesses.  Image if the social media crowd took a moment to look at our content!!!!
