The cart witnessing certainly isnt bringing in a lot of new converts. It was set up in my opinion to make the work easier for the jdubs. More hours can easily be achieved with this type of work. Also it shows an increase in regular pioneers as it is now so easy for them to get their time in. So its a way of showing some increase, because they cannot now rely on publisher increase. Their other short term solution is to show peak publishers, which has the affect of making the average publisher think there is good growth.

29At 1.4% growth the last 2 years, it's safe to say, jw.org and cart witnessing is an abject failure!
by nowwhat? inso much for jehovah blessing this new arrangement.
they are barely keeping up with the birthrate!
so basically the org spent millions of dollars on their website and broadcasting so the only growth they are still getting comes from born ins and illiterate and superstitious folks from africa.

Wow there really is no difference any more between JWs and other religions who want to attract more followers and worship their leaders.

I just read the Dec 15th letter to the uk congregations. What a joke. They grab at whatever they can to show increase. Like the number of hours. Its so much easier now for witnesses to get their hours in. Just sit by a cart and play with your phone for a few hours. Likewise its the same for pioneers. Its so easy to be one now, compared with a few years ago. What they didnt say was that there was and has been hardly any increase in the average number of publishers for several years, same with baptisms, same with memorial attendance.
Yet the dubs will just go by what they are told, and think there is some amazing increase, and that Jehoover is surely blessing them lol

The main thing to remember is that the society is producing much, much less spiritual food for the sheep these days

2018 Service Year Report - Released on jw.org
by Drearyweather in2018 service year report of jehovah’s witnesses worldwide.
see details of the global preaching work of jehovah’s witnesses from september 2017 to august 2018.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/2018-service-year-report/.
average publishers preaching each month: 8,360,594 (2017 - 8,248,982).

Ok I think I understand the report now. So although they present peak publishers in the report, the actual increase is based on the average publishers per country. That explains the figures from Britain. Peak publishers 2017 is 137468, Peak Publishers 2018 is 139783. So although this is a 1.7% increase, the actual increase they have published is based on the average publishers that are not shown to us. So average for Britain is shown as 0% increase in 2018.

Tag teams of Cart Sitters
by days of future passed inone sunday, we took our dad out for lunch.
since it didn't open till 12:00, we were going to have to kill time.
this restaurant is situated with other businesses around a small park and when we parked, we noticed there was a cart to the right in the park.

There is no doubt the JWs love this new way of ''preaching'' What is better than sitting in the park on a nice summer day, texting or viewing things on your phone or tablet, and chatting to your partner about anything. If anyone does come up to you, all you need to do is hand them some free literature and point to jwdotorg.

Why is the watchtower tight fisted
by pepperheart inwhy when i can get many books and magazines sent through the post from many other cults does the watchtower make a big fuss about a little 16 page magazine.

I think to be fare to them, most free magazines have adverts to help pay for them. Watchtower dont do that.

It made me laugh when they said a little while back, its best to explain prophesy after it has happened. That way of course they can say what has actually happened and fit a scripture around it
