The Watchtower's many legal problems and the JWs' use of carts in
their preaching work, reminded me of a scene and dialog from the film
PATTON.
In a scene where Patton is viewing a battle site the morning
after, he says to an aide about the Nazis: “You know how I know
that they're finished out there? The carts. They're using carts to
lug their supplies and wounded. In my dreams I saw the carts. They
kept buzzing around in my head and I couldn't figure out why. Then I
remembered: the nightmare in the snow -- the endless, agonizing
retreat from Moscow. God the cold! The wounded, and what was left
of the supplies, were thrown into carts. Napoleon was finished.”
Now it seems that the Watchtower is doing the same. The JWs are
loading their literature, supplies, the old and the sick on to carts.
The old and sick JWs then sit there silently minding the carts. The
physically healthy JWs who accompany the carts are in retreat,
talking among themselves rather than make an effort to do any
preaching.
Of course this doesn't mean the JW religion will suddenly
collapse. But it does indicate that they are beginning the fade into
insignificance.
