Many of us here would be down as "do not calls" so yeah, the carts mean the JWs are more accessible to us.
Maybe we'll be seeing motorized carts in the future -for fast getaways.

Cart witnessing! Dose this mean more accessibility to apostates?
by joe134cd ini don't know if this has been talked about before but do you think that cart witnessing has made the r&f more accessible to apostates.
why i say this is because if you think of the d2d work the only way that i could make contact with a r&f member would be if they knocked on my door or i was fortunate enough to see them walking down the road, stopped them and began talking.
if it was known that i was an apostate my address would be recorded and no further visits made.. however with the carts it is a completely different story, and it is much harder to walk away particularly in a busy street in the full view of the public.

Finding homes for the former 'bethelites' and 'special pioneers'
by Esse quam videri insince the liberal government has been elected in canada, it seems that people are looking to the future with a little more optimism and hope.
it is only human nature that with change, we would think that the change would be for the better.
the courts have ruled, in canada, that it is unconstitutional to deny the homeless the right to sleep in parks.

red flag to a bull those carts can't resist !
by possum inwent to a market yesterday and there it was a cart manned by a middle-aged women and a young one.
in a really respectful, friendly manner i approached them and enquired if watchtower society had done anything about its "two witness policy" post royal commission.
knew nothing of 2 witness rule.

The TMS was to teach us that no matter what the "viewpoint" question we introduce ourselves with, there is only one answer -the literature, and we don't actually want their viewpoint.

By the look on that guy's face self-worship that can easily degenerate into self-pleasuring.
He's probably one of those "metrosexuals."

Questions, any questions are like cryptonite to most dubs. Many have the attitude that unless you're telling them how wonderful and encouraging their literature is, your "attacking" them.

Good for you possum.
I can imagine many brothers and sisters will not even want to man the carts if there is even the slightest chance of being asked uncomfortable questions.

Special Pioneer Couple Living at a Kingdom Hall In Miami FL, get the dreaded Letter
by James Jack injust got a phone call from an older sister saying that a couple that got re-assigned from bethel 4 years ago to live at their kh apartment as special pioneers, just received a letter saying "as of january 2016, your special pioneer assignment will be discontinued".. they live in a south miami kh(snapper creek congregation).. this couple had only served in bethel for 15 years before they were sent out into the special pioneer work.
they are now in their mid 50's and the sister said that they have to find part time jobs to support themselves.. the older sister (does not have a pc or internet), says that the couple are just devastated!

Yes, regular worldly people lose their jobs and can't afford their rent and worse everyday. That's life.
I'm sure this demotion will be a rude awakening for these SPs, but, again, that's life.

About 'Regular' Pioneers
by Gayle innow that district overseers have been deleted, now that bethelites are being devalued and increasingly dismissed, now that special pioneers are being deleted in u.s., and maybe elsewhere gradually.
who would have ever thought?.
yet, now what is the value to be a regular pioneer to the org?

Older ones with a living memory of the WT's history would be a liability, I imagine.
Better to put them out to pasture, rather than have them reminiscing about the old days to the younger elders.
Even though the GB themselves are all up there in age, except for NKOTB Anderson.
