Oh! I forgot to mention, the brother doing the part about using the carts kept emphasizing that a publisher must QUALIFY to do this SPECIAL work.
This is not suprising since we are told we must be footstep followers of Christ and if you'll recall from your study of the Bible that even in Jesus day, only certain Apostles were qualified to man the literature carts. All others had to confine their preaching activity to placing the Watchtower and Awake magazines the old fashioned way.
Magnum: This incident reminds me of one of my main complaints about JWdom - the lack of opportunity for honest, sincere criticism.
Exactly. This is also one of the things that distinguish a legitimate religion from a cult.
Magnum: Suppose there had been someone in the audience who was really concerned about the effectiveness of the cart witnessing. Could he have voiced his concern?
Sure they could have voiced their concern or disagreement, but only at the risk of social sanctions ranging from dirty looks to judgmentally dismissive comments, from a talk by the elders on the need to be "humble" to ostracism and shunning.
Again, proof that this is not a healthy group, but a high-control, authoritarian cult.
FHM: I would love to go stand next to the cart with a sign that quotes from an article from the the WTS with their real view [about higher education], then a statement, "Why not ask these Witnesses about it?"
Brilliant! Counter-Witnessing.
I love it!!!

That's pretty effin' funny!
What "qualifications" exactly does a person need to stand next to a magazine rack?
I would guess first on the list would be the ability to stand in one place for an extended period of time.
Would YOU walk up to either of these people? Excuse me, carts?
These two are at least smiling, but if you ask me, it's a little to much! Kinda' creepy ...
Oh, look, the cart didn't have enough space for all the literature. It was convenient that these kids were available to hold the extras:
Just when you think it can't possibly get any more ridiculous, they bring us this:
The two loyal brothers really stand behind their preaching work:
Please note the light getting brighter!
