Comparing 1987 to 2017 --- cart witnessing

by pleaseresearch in

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.

Gorbatchov

Electronic donations at conventions and assembly's, in 1987 no one dare to think of it.

Saying the big A did not happen in 2017 would made you an apostate verdict!

Another JW Urban Legend Thread

by Funchback in

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?.

What does it take to qualify for cart/trolley work?

by Londo111 in

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?

Gorbatchov

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

The big mistake of jw.org property management

by Gorbatchov in

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.

Gorbatchov

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.
