A thought about your Twitter "audience". When you tweet, it's a good idea to think who you are writing to. Do you use Twitter to share all your thoughts with whoever might listen? What about being more precise? Can you be? Should you be?
For example, if you are a JW, and you want to tweet a witness to non-JWs, you may write a tweet referring followers to a specific page on watchtower.org, such as "What is the Bible's view of Death?". However, fellow JWs may well already know this information. So, if most of your followers are brothers, they might want to hear something about how well you got on in the ministry instead.
There is a way to write tweets for both witnessesing AND for fellow JWs. Have two separate Twitter accounts. This is allowed, it doesn't break any rules!
You could have one account for witnessing-type tweets and you would try and get followers from non-JWs.
You could have a second account which you use for exchanging news, encouragement, etc., with JWs and you wouldn't witness using this account.
How can you manage this form of tweeting? Well, a lot of Twitter helper software will easily support multiple accounts, with THIS SORT OF USE in mind. I personally use Tweetdeck to manage several Twitter accounts, including some for business use. There are numerous software tools that can do the same, and an internet search will soon give you a list to work with until you find one you like the most.
So, onward and upwards! Enjoy tweeting, and remember your "audience".
I liked this post, you've got a point. I will consider doing this.
