Cart work faces headwinds.
by lastmanstanding inmy little bethel bird has whispered in my ear some encouraging news.
it has been reported to the canadian branch that some witnesses doing cart work had police stop them from carting in public parks.
the direction sent to the southern ontario congregations is to cease carting until further notice.. this is no joke.. have a jw-free day..

Cart work is the JW equivalent of an elitist sport, you have to qualify to be worthy enough to do it. The idea of cart work as a replacement for d2d doesn't fly unless everyone in the cong has a cart and that just ain't gonna happen ever.
My theory about the carts is that the GB introduced them as a new carrot to dangle, an outward tangible show of "change" to boost moral and to convince the mindless masses that the chariot is indeed moving forward innovating new preaching methods etc etc blah blah.
But, in reality the cart work is just meant to be a distraction from the fact that they are changing the way they exist as a religion in such a major way that they now will freak people out and they do not want to spook the people too much before the new WT is complete and will is gradually revealed.

It would'nt take much to vanish the JW "presence" in the area I live, two miserable little carts one manned most of the time by disabled geriatrics (no offense to the disabled or to Geri and the Atrics) in folding chairs and knee blankies.
And the other by a 40 ish guy and his 8-10 year old kid.
So either the local cong has no corporate witness pioneer looking types to man the carts or the corporate witness types don't want to.

How many wrongs make a right?
by eyeuse2badub incame across this little gem while my wife was "digging for bible gems" in her weekly meeting preparation.
nothing new but i gently pointed it out to her as a reminder that bible reading can be hazardous to your mental health!.
do 2 (or 3, or 4) wrongs, make a right?

There are some bible characters WT really has an erection for that simply cannot do any wrong even when they do wrong and David the adulterating murderer is one of them. -

JW culture of "informers" is very similar to Communist China under Mao
by TerryWalstrom infirst, let's look at what counsel is published by the watchtower and required as proper behavior in the congregation.. *** g88 9/8 p. 20 should i tell on my friend?
***understandably, you may not feel you have the spiritual qualifications to readjust an erring friend.
but would it not make sense to see to it that the matter is reported to someone who is qualified to help?

The Borg using behavior control tactics as used by authoritarian regimes...Hmmm what a coincidence.
Same shit different assholes as George Carlin would say. The level of control only varies by degree.
Reminded me of the book 1984 the children would spy on and report the adults even their own parents and praised for it.

Forgiveness
by Freedom rocks inif someone does the same things over and over again and says sorry and then does it again and you point out that their apologies don't mean anything anymore, then they accuse you of not being forgiving enough, who is in the wrong?
(i mean as in constantly over a long period of time).
im trying to work out whether it was just part of the persons mental/ emotional manipulation tactics or whether i have the wrong view and i'm not forgiving enough.
