Cart Witnessing On Their Wedding Day

This photo is doing the rounds on JW inspirational on Instagram. Although the brothers and sisters think this is "oh so amazing" and "so cool" it's actually very sad and quite shocking. What, people cant even enjoy their wedding day without the cult invading their special day. They cant even have ONE DAY devoted to them.

I actually think this would put people off approaching, what sort of crazies do this on their wedding day.

Im told this is brother and sister Cholokashvili from the Supsa congregation in Poti, Georgia (the country, not the US state). Lets hope this isnt in their wedding album because when one of them wakes up and leaves they'll look back and cringe.

under the radar

Not that it matters, but here is my take...

The young bride is wearing a beautiful dress, but she is even more beautiful. I truly hope this couple finds happiness in the life they have chosen to live together.

That said, the bride looks like she is doing her best to smile while posing for a picture that someone else suggested and she felt unable to graciously decline. Her expression seems to be saying, "This is ridiculous. Happy now?"

The groom's expression seems to be saying, "Ok, we did it. Can we leave now?"

It's hard to believe that anyone would want such a cultish, totally unromantic picture in their wedding album. It seems obvious to me that they had it taken to please someone else. They both look exasperated.

just fine

I think it's ridiculous. I am so glad I never married a JW. It takes away the natural relationship you would have with your spouse. Those of you still married to JWs, you have my sympathy. I would never allow my husband to be treated the way most of you are treated as disfellowshipped or inactive ones. Where is the natural affection? Where is the " you will not treat my spouse like crap"? It's all lost to a stupid made up religion.

I don't think she is dressed appropriately to do cart work. It a sham, a posed picture that will be buried in the box of pictures.

I do remember a couple that changed clothes and went to the evening meeting on Sunday rather than miss it.

Unsurprising really, I've know some couples preach 'where the need is greater' for their 'honeymoon'...pretty sad life lol...this brothers face is saying 'I'm finally allowed to have sex...and guess what we're fucking doing'...

This bride is in Poti, Georgia. She is likely concerned with getting the jworg promo shot done before they get beat up or arrested.

Of course it is ridiculous. Over the top ridiculous

It won't be buried - it will be taken out and presented at the ECHR for their next appearance

Old time JWs would view this as drawing attention to yourself. How is this promoting their message? All people see is a bride and groom posing in front of a trolley. They are not standing there to offer literature to passersby or talk. If they were, she would not be holding her flower posy with both hands.

Exchanges with Lone Passerby:

Female Passerby: "Oh my God - where did you get that dress, honey?!"

Bride: "Oh I got my dress from Starbucks Wedding Designs - I have to return it when I'm finished my coffee."

Female Passerby: (very quietly) "Where did you get the groom?"

Bride: "The Kingdom Hall."

Passerby: "Slim pickings huh? Is that the wedding register (pointing to trolley)?"

Groom: "No that's our unique spiritual food. Would you like some?"

Passerby: "No thanks. I don't have a cast iron stomach. Enjoy your honeymoon - or what's left of it."

Groom: "Thank you. But we hold out the hope that Armaggedon could be here before our honeymoon's over."

Passerby: "Really? My guess would be there's a greater likelihood your marriage will be over long before your hoped-for end ever arrives."
