  Cart observations from Cardiff South Wales

  by freddo in

  i was in a suburb of cardiff, capital of wales where it was difficult to get near to my customer's offices to deliver and install what i do.

  i had my car parked about a hundred yards away and had to make several trips with goods and tools past a local jw trolley cart.

  as i was working i didn't stop but observed much of the time from an upper floor office window.. in the hour or so i was there, on a warm sunny (for late february) lunchtime/early afternoon - right by a bus stop and several local shops, cafes and banks with plenty of people about - not one person stopped at the cart.. the two women at the cart i guess were about 50 and 75 respectively - pleasant looking motherly/grandmotherly types.

  the theme of feeding many through the hands of a few was discussed at a recent clam, and it was based on a wt article from 5 years ago.

  for some reason though they changed the picture that goes with it.

  usually people are erased from pictures when they defect, but this doesn't look too different, just like they made him have more delicate features.. .

  Hopefully comedians everywhere will discover that JWborgcasting is a comedy goldmine hehehe.

  Scandal may not hurt their image as much as ridicule.

  They've given him a nose job and he looks less ethnic.

  Why bother when his boys look the same?

  I get the impression from the things she was saying this lady is not an exjw, but I could be wrong.

  She obviously felt strongly enough about the tragic, needless loss of life so much that something needed to be said and all these heartless robots can think of is the "disruption to the meeting." I get the feeling if she just could have been given a few minutes to have her say she would done so and left.

  What about those bro's if they could dive-tackle her to the ground they would do it. Cos the meetings are thaaaat important.

  Find Family Happiness

  by jp1692 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the other day my wife and i were in sonoma.

  we were just walking around enjoying the pleasant afternoon in the quaint, old downtown area when i saw two jw women standing by their “witnessing cart.” .

  normally, i just ignore them whenever i see jws standing by a cart, but i gotta admit it: this time it really bugged me because of the title on the cart: find family happiness.

  I feel the same as others have commented already, if we all approached them to call out their deceptive magazine hook lines none of them would want to man the carts anymore.

  Where I live there is cart set up in the mall pretty much as permanent fixture these days mornings and afternoons. Same guy, same little boy who looks about 8-10 yrs old. The guy gets the little boy to walk up to people at the cafe tables and benches etc to hand out tracts and the people are like "aww isn't he cute."

  Shameless. These people have no shame.

  Boyfriend force me to study the bible or no marriage

  by MuslimWoman in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  my boyfriend, who is a disfellowshipped jehova's witness, asks me to study the bible for 3 months or he won't marry me (i'm a muslim woman).

  he loves me and really wants to marry me but he is doing a passive blackmailing: if i don't study for 3 months, 1 time per week, in my home country, and without him, there will be no marriage... as a muslim, i believe the bible is god's word so i look at the bible from time to time and would be happy to study with him.

  but the fact that he is kind of saying "study the bible or bye bye no marriage" is really hurtful.

  If he's blackmailing you about this now what will he blackmail you about once married.

  He's hoping if he can get you to study for 3 months you will convert - huh, who'da thought it, one high control religious group trying to convert someone from another high control group.

  Anyway, call this a taste of things to come.

  Tell him to he should not even have a girlfriend if wants to be reinstated back into his religion.
