whatever we think of it, you have to admit that it's quite "genius".. the door to door ministry as done in western developed countries where the jw quirky religion has probably reached their saturation level was a complete and utter waste of time in terms of the effort expended to recruit people.. at the same time, it was rarely something that anyone enjoyed which led to people being labelled as inactive, being pressured to doing more and maybe ultimately deciding jwism wasn't for them and leaving.. there was also the issue that many jws are actually pretty bad at knowing and articulating their beliefs so were pretty incapable of getting any meaningful message across.. they solved all this with the cart witnessing.
the real point isn't to recruit, it's to make life easier for jws.
now they can stand and chat with their friend, have a coffee, not talk to anyone or make eye contact and still act as a walking billboard for jw.org.
This is the translated quote:
“acknowledgment at the station is not for everyone, says Stet. "We are looking for representative people: young, well-dressed, a friendly smile, and just as cru: people are not convinced by a crippled old person.”

Here in Holland there was an article in a nation wide newspaper about the Cart replacing the house to house work.
One of the jw’s said: “there is a selection, because we don’t want an old age person behind the Cart it must look fresh”.

i'm one of earliest adopters of the internet in discovering the real history of the watchtower.
back then it was the wild wild west with newsgroups being the primary sources of information.
then came watchtower observer, freeminds, and all the other sites that followed jwd was one of the later sites.
I remember H2O was my first JW information source site, and the MT technology website.
Early 1997 😬 omg.

the watchtower society always attempts to disprove or discredit valid arguments or statements by criticizing the ability of individuals to think, reason, ask tough questions and make their own decisions!
if they can't logically attack the message, they attack the messenger!!
the name calling of apostates or anyone who doesn't agree with all the wtbts flip-flops ( the light gets brighter) never stops!
Read that Rome is closing and will move to Bolognia.
Rome is worth a lot of millions.

hey i’m back i know it’s been a long time since i’ve posted on the form but a lot things have been happening so i haven’t had much time to post.. ive been 14 for awhile now makes me happy because i’m getting closer to being able to get a job and work my way out of this.. i have meetings on saturdays now which is horrible because i rather have it on sunday because it’s already a sad day because i got to go to school the next day.three of our public talks have had different brothers saying the same thing talking about the signs of the end days.the thing that gets me is when they always try and bank on the earthquake part i mean i’m really into science so i already knew a lot about plate tectonics sea floor spreading etc but you get taught this in school.with plates always moving divergent convergent transform etc there will be earthquakes it’s the effect of plates moving against or rubing on each or going back into the mantle(subduction zones) it happens.so when there’s a report in japan of a lot of earthquakes it must be the end times!no japan is located on four plates it’s going to experience big earthquakes.. i don’t know that just gets under my skins when they try and say it’s the end days because of the earth having natural things happen like plate tectonics is something that’s been happening recently no we might have gotten our hands on the technology to spot earthquakes recently but this has been happening for millions of years.. speaking of years i hope you all have a great 2019 and i’ll definitely post more of my thoughts this year..
Have a good 2019!
And yeah, meetings are circular, no news but fake news etc.

i heard it from someone who attended the latest wt study, and quickly posted it with - you guessed it - a picture of a lovely flower bouquet.

"how big is your bouquet of truth?".
Bouquet of idiots, lies and hate with a tiny façade of kingdom smile.

if true what a waste of dedicated funds that could have been used to build 1000's of k.h's in africa.
@pale they make fully use of their human resources. If you have no needed skills then you are out.
Have you seen the video of the logistic departement? With all that running people? They have become Amazon 2.0 working style, Total madness for volentary people.

tonight watched at prime video the great movie the firm again.
in 1993, first time in the theatre, made direct a connection with the gb.. now i'm thinking: could jw.org be used for worldwide money laundry?.
taken in cash, transfering it with worldwide branches under religion cover?.
