  Comparing 1987 to 2017 --- cart witnessing

  by pleaseresearch in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  take a ride with me back to 1987. picture yourself in your town, or city centre.

  remember the clothes people wore, the hairstyles etc.... now imagine yourself doing your ministry out on the street, engaging with people, speaking with them, striking up conversations.

  now, how would you feel, and what would you say, if you noticed two people appear nearby with a cart.

  Yes, good point!

  Witnesses would have laughed and derided such people doing that!

  What does it take to qualify for cart/trolley work?

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if memory serves me, when it was first introduced elders had to fill out a form to grade a jw, and only those who made the grade could do the carts.. i didn’t realize until sir82 said something on another discussion that the process had changed.. what is the process nowadays?

  According to witnesses, the real problem with cart witnessing, is those damn members of the public that keep interrupting their coffee and gossip session!

  Cant they see we are busy?

  Are JWs "mind trained" to be habitual liars?

  by nonjwspouse in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't mean overly obvious, or otherwise meaning to cause harm, but taught to lie for the purpose of avoidance.

  this type of lying can be pervasive in areas of life that are not just to avoid discussions with people who have questions about the jw, etc.

  my husband will lie/be deceitful about the silliest, simple things.

  Just rewatch the whole Australian Royal Commission, and see a masterclass in avoidance, mistruths, lies and distraction....

  threads about jw urban legends are nothing new on this forum.

  they are loads of fun to read.

  how many of you remember the one about the teenager who skipped the meeting and decided to get into a car with his worldly friends and they worldly guys decided to rob a store and the jw didn't know they were going to do so but he was arrested simply for being with them?.

  Oh PE! That one is a classic, and has been used by so many culty religions. In fact, it is a favourite amongst the Mormon community too...

  The big mistake of jw.org property management

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today i read some news story's about the property deals of jw.org in brooklyn.

  they made good money and good connections.. but i'm sure jw.org made a very, very big mistake in brooklyn.

  they did.. they sold and are selling all the property for money.

  well now; filming on the set of 'planet of the apes' was a blast.

  being the 'muscle' in general aldo's militia was a great opportunity for kicking some serious butt.

  i'm looking forward to having another crack at it.. .

  It would be funny if society material was used in a movie with gambling, pornography, drug taking, stealing, child abuse, racism, murder and violence!

  Then it would be like the ACTUAL contents of the bible itself!

  Ok, I have to bite...

  The smurf toy that jumped off a boys lap at an assembly and yelled "I'm outta here!" And walked down the isle.....

  You know demons love living in the bodies of smurf toys right?

  I genuinely heard this one as a 10 year old in Australia. It "supposedly happened at MY assembly hall"
