"advocate or promote (a belief or course of action)."
This also has to be a no because it is not advertised again only really those of us who already made the choice know about it. If we were pushing for recognition in what we did then you would see a lot more press on it
The way we preach is door to door spreading the message of the Kingdom or since Covid by letter writing spreading the same message

you are not putting your boot into an organisation though as they are not here only I am. In fact you are doing exactly what Hugh say we do and you are proselytising trying to convert me

The Watchtower Society doesn’t have to be here for me to put the boot into them. The Watchtower Society is a cult that only lets its members read material it has directly approved and claims only it can interpret the Bible. My desire is that nobody be a member of it and that nobody think this is what being a disciple of Jesus looks like.
Real Christianity is an evangelistic faith - this should come as no surprise. It is however also driven by God’s compassion for the poor and oppressed and Christian mission societies do not typically put faith-oriented preconditions before helping those in material need. That is what Hugh pointed out: not that those ensnared in the Watchtower cult proselytise, which many faiths do, but that even when the lives of non-members are in peril, aid is conditional on engagement with cultic activities.
