Or is "divide and conquer" the better strategy?
I know this can be taken as being mean-spirited, but there is a larger issue here and I hope you're getting it. Can you find it within yourselves to answer in a loving way?

That's a good question. Pass out The Watchtower as people walk out the church doors. It's better than knocking on doors at 7 in the morning and risk getting shot.

You may be surprised to know that Jehovah works those things out. The angels direct this work under the hand of Jesus. Before he left earth he sent his disciples out 2by 2 and told them to enter a city...stay there, work it and then move on to another area.
He did go to the synagogue but they ganged up on him and ridiculed him.
People act differently in their own home than they do in public...they can be more relaxed and pay better attention. If we were to go to their church we would be dishonoring their services and that is not our intention. They have an agenda.
Jesus told us to find those that are sighing over the conditions of today...so we do.
If people would just relax and realize we are your neighbors and we are friendly and helpful...there is no need to be rude...we may come to your aid one day when you need help.
FYI we have preachers coming to the brothers , sometimes the hall to pick up "their" watchtower magazines so they can read them and make up a sermon for sunday....there is a lot of very good information in those pages...they cover subjects that are in our everyday lives and quote scriptures we as a congregation look up.
If you have read a watchtower you know I am telling you the truth.

I'm with 1970 but you can bet the truth won't be told
in many of the churches today.
Christ is the head of the church and Jehovah is His and
our Father but Christ sits at His right hand
Will your church be able to expound on these things?
His church started in Jerusalem by Christ 33AD (Matt 16: 18)
and not in Amerisca 1872 AD (Lk 24:44-47)

We are not putting on a show for anyone's amusement. It would be largely pointless.
We have Public Talks at our Kingdom Halls and Assemblies in big auditoriums and stadiums all for free.
One-on-One is the best way to know what a person is thinking. The best way to get the points across so they may truly learn.

The Watchtower is afraid they'll learn the real truth so they are actually not allowed anywhere near a real church!

Good question here!
I guess they just don't want to be bombarded with the truth from us all at once.
But of course.....we would do it with the love of Christ.....

You should market the idea. Sounds like your on to something.
Any JW's who would like to try this at our church please drop me an email.
(cackles at the thought of the chances of a JW at his congregation trying to convert anyone.)

Because there's only 144,000 tickets and they can't hand them all out at once.
