I see London has a lot to learn from New York City when it comes to the carts. In some subway stations here they have two or three (yes 3) carts in the same station right across from each other. The Bros across the pond need to fly across the pond and see how the preaching work is being done in NYC.

JW trolleys - London
by HB inthought you might like to know that during a visit to london yesterday, the jw's were conspicuous by their complete absence.
admittedly it was a tuesday in february, but myself and my ex jw friend thought we would see at least one or two trolleys in their usual haunts, but nothing.
we checked out the area around westminster station where we have talked to jws before, but there was no sign.

When You Were A JW Did You Really Understand The Religion and What You Were Getting Into?
by minimus inmany witnesses in my opinion know nothing about the religion.
they don’t understand the history, the doctrines or the bible.
many people become jws because they were raised as witnesses so they take the plunge.

Born in. Didn't have a choice. Didn't know what choice even meant. Didn't sign up. It was done for me

Remember The Green Song Books
by new boy inthen new and improved purple song books that came out in 1966. then there was the brown song book and a even newer one in 2006. .
thousands of hours wasted singing those stupid songs and their stupid lyrics.. song 106 "watch how we walk and watch we talk.
i remember inserting different works in the lyrics to relive the boredom.

You mention remembering the green songbook, which I do, but your list looks like it's either from the magenta or the brown book. Anyway, I remember the green book some songs I can think of right now are:
Take Sides With Jehovah
Dedication
Rejoice
Plus the one on Page 1, which was titled Hail HIm, which sounded straight out of a Baptist revival meeting, which is probably why they stopped using much when the green book was still out.

Halls closing
by iknowthetruth inin my city philadelphia they closed many kingdom halls.
my hall was desolved and most of the publishers were added to a congregation that only had 50 publishers.

iknowthetruth - Wow, a major city like Philly has shut down a lot of KHs, good, hope the trend does the same here in NYC, I only know of one Cong in Philadelphia, Mt Airy Congregation, is that one of Congs that has been shut down, hope so!! Now I'm wondering if the large family I know that attended that Cong is having second thoughts about the Dubs!

Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Ever Do Anything For Anyone But Themselves?
by minimus ini was thinking of how witnesses were always admonished to take care of their own before they should ever help a worldly neighbor.
i don’t think they ever do anything for the community unless it’s a benefit to them..

Couldn't make it through that crap, Like others are saying I wonder what my mother would say if she were still alive, I wish I could show her that vid and watch her stumble through an answer and try to defend the Borg like she did when I used to bring up valid points and she had no answer

OF COURSE ! ! ! That's what elders wives do !
Where do you think they get all the stuff they gossip about ?
I've heard my elder dad tell my mom a few things after he got back from attending an elders meeting !!

Do You Think Jehovah’s Witnesses Really Believe They Are Living In The Time Of The End?

Do You Think Jehovah’s Witnesses Really Believe They Are Living In The Time Of The End?
Of course they do, they've been thinking that for the last hundred years or however long they've been around. Even for my peers that are still in da troof, we're in the way over 50 crowd and from day one that's all we've heard and they're still preaching that. When do they wake up - - Never! ! !

Discontinue unproductive bible study - jw broadcasting
by Gorbatchov inhttps://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-ism_2_video.
interesting video explaining how to end a bible study.. watch the kind of uber behaviour of the witnesses: make a choice or we leave.... so hard, so not christian.
no love for the person.. g..

You mean to tell me people are actually studying with the Dubs now? I would think since the internet is such a big thing now and everybody looks things up, I would think there would be no new people studying with them at all. Instead of bringing back that six month thing I'd think they would be coming up with slick, new ways to get people interested. How to pump up the love bombing at the carts or something.

Oh Brother, another reason for pompous JWs to file a lawsuit
by ShirleyW ini guess some of you have heard that a woman that worked at a hotel and was forced to work on sunday's has now filed suit and won some major moolah.
so, how long before the pompous dubs who work on mtg night will follow suit and collect big bucks, i honestly think that a few have tried this before, but now that this woman and her bogus religion almost as crazy as dubs got a shitload of money, there will be many more lawsuits to come from a certain cult that either knock-knock on your door every weekend or sit in a subway station and just sit there and gossip about the other folks in the cong or steady dial up stuff on their phones..
