Report to Neophytes

2021

​

Dear newcomer, aspiring Jehovah's Witness, please be aware that you will soon be induced and, consequently, forced by the community itself to go from house to house as part of the dogmatic tradition advocated before baptism. After being baptized, there is no other way to remain socially healthy there other than to go from house to house, in a mandatory manner. For control and census of the Tower, everyone must write a type of monthly report in which a minimum requirement of hours or minutes, publications placed and people contacted must be numerically delivered to the country office. By appropriating these little tables (used in the decades in which I was participating), I begin to reflect on what I would truly like to report and to whom I would like to report it. When it comes to numbers and a Cartesian grid, the possibilities of expression seem somewhat strangled, but I take this here as a pulsating force of life trying to break with imposed patterns, while at the same time trying to find a kind of direction beyond the cult and its American and colonizing marks. Returning a critique and literacy to those who do not know the other side of religion, and to neophytes, given the initiatory and occult nature of religion in its genesis.
