Yes I think you right pepperheart. What could be better for a JW in the spring, summer and autumn to be sitting on a bench next to a cart and have a good catch up with your friend, and at the same time count time.

10The carts or trolleys are going to be around for a long time yet
by pepperheart ini say that because it works for both the people doing field service and the watchtower.
for the people its easier standing than having to walk and you can have a chat with other jws as well.
for the watchtower they tell the drones that the general public must make the first move(to stop the general public complaining about being pestered) but in doing so it means that they are not giving many magazines etc away but that suits the watchtower because magazines and even single page trats cost money and that seems to be one thing that the watchtower dont have .

Are people free to leaving the Witnesses, and shunning.

in my own case, yes.

Afrikanman,
if you were baptised after the new 1985 baptism questions, you agreed to work with the organisation. All they have to do is ask you if you believe Jehovah is using the gov body as his channel. If you say no, you are in effect dissasociating yourself. At least that is how they will view it.

Born in baptisms to avoid embarrassment
by Spoletta ini noticed a recent commenter mention an assembly that had only one baptism, a born in.
the last assembly i went to had three baptisms, of which two were born ins.
could part of the motivation for youth baptism be to avoid the embarrassment of an assembly with no baptisms at all?

JW.Org claims they have fullfilled Jesus command to preach in all the inhabited earth.Have they really done that ? I dont think so.
by smiddy inapart from the fact that they have mainly followed in the footsteps of christendom before them what virgin territories have they ever gone to that christendom before them has not gone to .
i would think none.. how many lands ,countrys ,are their that they have never made any significant inroads into ?.
we are not talking about token service in any of these countrys in major cities , but a real door to door witness to every individual householder that gets it every few months as in western lands.. some that i can think of : north korea ,mainland china , bangladesh ,india , pakistan , jordan , israel , iran , syria ,burma ( sorry cant think of the new name ).

Nearly everything they say, you will find an opposite statement somewhere in their literature. That way whatever happens they can say it was right what they wrote.
The above is one example and another one, is where they say how bad the world is getting with more wars and violence, then somewhere else they will say the bible says there will be a cry of peace and security before the end.

Covering the territory
by Ding inhow often are jws trying to cover a given territory nowadays?.
logically, they should be trying to cover the territory more and more often the closer armageddon gets, but it seems to me i see them out far less often than i used to..

One third of the world has never even heard the JW message. This is clearly seen by reading the service report each year in the Yearbook. In countries where witnesses do cover their territory regularly, most people have no idea at all what the JW message is. All most people know is that they dont take blood, dont celebrate birthdays and Christmas, plus a growing number now know about the JWs awful child sex abuse policies.
