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.

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?.

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?

Londo111 they say that you have to be representative and don't want an old crippled jw next to the cart.

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.
Why selling these big shot locations knowing it will have a big value in future?
Why not long term leasing them for devolpment by a third party?
There is something strange about it.

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. Much money, some 2 billion, for sure.
But they had a change to make their balance much more stronger.
How?
They had to keep the ownership of these building and leasing it for use on long term to property management corporations. Creating the same things they do now, but with long time ownership by jw.org. Nothing so good on a balance then property, with long time investors.
So, I'm for very sure, they made a big mistake, maybe the biggest mistake they could make.

In a Dutch newspaper article about the cartwork a JW representative said that there are qualifications because we don't want an old JW lady near the cart but a fresh atractive representative.
When Gorby read this he was so said for the elderly JW. At the other hand, it was a quality news paper and JW don't read quality papers 😎 So, impact was low.

It is.

wow, wow, it appears on about the 50:00 minute mark and it shows the kingdom at hand publication and many old school awake issues.
it shows also many many la la land moments where the actors sing to the lyrics.
i know they been doing this for last few months.
They try to be more mainstream. Have to, because the end does not come.
You have to do something, isn't it?

i remember one of the nights that i found out the truth wasn't the truth, that is after finding out about the united nations, i remember riding my bicycle from like 1am till 5am in the city night.
it was rather chilly, maybe about 55-60 degrees and i was playing pink floyd's dark side of the moon album in my earbuds.
just riding and riding, not really tiring because of the thought that 7 men in brooklyn had duped me, duped me for like 20 plus years.
Yep, for me the (constant) bookstudy of Revelation book and the Isaiah, Daniel and Jeremia fantasy history books together with the 1995 change of this generation was too much to stay in. Since then part of the fading class.
