  So my Father, who is an active Jehovah’s Witness, told me yesterday of an experience currently doing its rounds amongst the witnesses in relation to cart witnessing.

  There is a bridge called ‘The Bridge’ which is a well known place for people committing suicide. Apparently the JWs have been setting up there literature carts there for a while now and ever since they have there has been no more suicide attempts from the bridge. “Its amazing what effect the literature carts are having!” Exclaimed my father. I of course, as sceptical as ever since leaving the JWs do not believe a word of it. I was wondering if anyone else has heard talk of this bridge?

  No I can't say I've ever hear this story ( mind you I left before cartwitnessing came out), but it goes along with the story where a person was going to commit suicide and a witness came to the door " saving him with the message".

  Maybe they've gone elsewhere rather than talk to jws at the cart

  Well that narrows it down to no more than 100,000 possible sites....

  Maybe try to get a little more information - where exactly is "the bridge"?

  The dubbers have always targeted those who are lonely and depressed.

  I think it's right next to a local park that JWs also set up their carts. Oh by the way, that location is called "the park".

  I'm sure both "The Bridge" and "The Park" are in "The City." That should narrow it down. If we could find out if "The City" is in "The State" or "The Province" we could narrow it down even more.

  Yeah someone put up as a rumor on Facebook some years ago. It was in Spanish. Then as always in jw land with out any evidence it spread like wildfire.The bridge was supposed to be San Francisco bridge were there's a lot of suicide. I can't imagine they let you put up a cart in San Francisco bridge. Don't know if you can even walk there.
