AK: That singing cart sure does have a nice home in a nice neighborhood. Depending on the location that house could be worth 300k or more.
When I first saw the video I thought it was my old neighborhood in SoCal. If it was, that house would now be in the $600,000-750,000 range.
"What a feeling I get from wheeling . . ."
Off-off-off-Broadway.
Well, didn't the Book of Mormon make it to the stage?
The wheels on the cart go round and round
round and round
round and round............
I wish I were the cart that lives in Venice, Ca. I dig lookin' at those gnarly surfer dudes!
Well, I'll be damned!
baldeagle: What is happening to this religion? It gets crazier each month. It’s become embarrassing and lame. It’s really working overtime to appear relevant.
cleanideas: Honestly had I somehow still been a JW this song would have sent me over the edge to leave. It's just a big red flag of "YOU ARE IN A CRAZED CULT! RUN AWAY!"
I agree.
It pi$$es me off because it makes the JW preaching work seem like going to Disney World. I preached full-time for a long time and there was nothing Disney-like about it. I gave blood, sweat, and tears. I was miserable. I was almost shot at least four times. I did all the dirty work. I dealt with all the nuts (crazy JWs whose hands I had to hold). I was cussed out. I had doors slammed in my face. I was looked at like I was a sub-human idiot. I walked door-to-door in over 100deg heat w/ 100% humidity. I looked haggard and worn-out and exhausted from the mental & physical exertion. How dare they portray the preaching work the way they did in the video.
This religion has sold out. It has lost any little bit of dignity and nobility it had. It's a joke. It's embarrassing. I long for the days of old Freddie. He was a nut, but it was in a different way.
And that bit with the two (Herd and Bro Brown Nose) at the desk after the video.... OMG. I can't even really describe my feelings. It just reminded me of the kind of cheap "Christian" TV that I might have seen a few years ago and been disgusted by. A lot of the reason that I became a JW was that JWdom was so not like it is now; it was different from those cheap "Christian" TV shows. JWdom has become what I ran away from.
That. Was. Horrifying.
People have to see this and wake up! Right? Riiiiight?
And what was up with Herd's dead eyes after? Spooky.
"....what a feeeeeling, to go wheeeeeeling,...
I'm so glad to be a public witness caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart..."
With each passing month, my jaw falls harder onto the floor, and I strain to pick it back up and attach it to my skull.
What the h*ll was THAT? I am 35. I was told all thru my youth that Disney and movies that gave human voice or human attributes to animals or inanimate objects was "promoting magic", and was "like Satan the Devil", and to be avoided at all costs. And now, to see THIS? You gotta be kidding me! Door-to-door in the 1980's was h*ll as a kid. Knocking on the doors of your schoolmates, being made an a** out of and never living it down. Now, all the youth have to do is trout out this literature cart and start their time while they walk the mall or surf at the beach while the cart "does the witnessing" for them up on the boardwalk. Incredible!!!!!!!!!!
And if that simple-minded musical ear-rape wasn't bad enough, having Sam Herd sit there and tell us that "Unity in all aspects of our life glorifies God...." and "Unity is the sign of true worship......." are such twisted statements. He meant to say, "Obedience to the Governing Body is equal to glorifying God, no matter what we tell you."
Crazy, cultist, LOONS! So much for being able to actually defend or explain your beliefs from the BIBLE.....Nope! Now it's just whip out the iPad and direct unsuspecting, gullible public to the jw cult website. Incredible!!!!

How could that song possibly accomplish giving a cart a big heart? No one watches that and wants to be friends with the cart, they shove back to the garage at the end.
I still have feelings for wilson the volleyball in Castway, and he didn't get his own music video.
