I'm seriously thinking about buying a cart and filling it up with Scientific American, Discover, National Geographic, etc. and parking it 10 feet away from a JW cart.

I thought JWs were supposedly following the pattern set in the first century.

I don't recall Jesus or his disciples standing silently next to literature carts.

When looking at this application 1 Co. 13:4,5 comes to mind.
The application is clearly going against this bible text concerning "keeping account of the injury".

Just more rules and going beyond the things written.

There is a difference between plain ole' cart work and special metropolitan witnessing.

Cart work can be done by pretty much any adult publisher with the minimum of training.

Special Metropolitan Witnessing is invite only. You have to apply and then be approved. It's mostly pioneers that get the "privilege". This may involve cart work in high visibility areas but also other activities like kiosks and desks.

Speaking of injury....I imagine 'liablity' for bodily injury or damage comes into play. The WBT$ don't want lawsuits against them. Provide faux training to the R&F and the WBT$ is absolved from any liability. Sue the dub not the corporation.

The GB need all the money they can get to suit their gluttonous lifestyle.
