Not sure how it works in other halls but here the cart work is being done mostly by pioneers. If you're not a pioneer you can ask to be put on the schedule. I believe you still have to do some training on what to do and what not to do. Mostly though it seems to be the pioneers doing it after door to door for extra hours.

What is the current pulse in the organization with the reductions?
by SouthCentral ini have not seen jehovah’s witnesses in my neighborhood for several years now.
it appears that the cart witnessing has taken over.
congregations are being consolidated and witnesses are being forced to travel a greater distance than before.the burdens/privileges of elders seem to be ever increasing!.

How many wrongs make a right?
by eyeuse2badub incame across this little gem while my wife was "digging for bible gems" in her weekly meeting preparation.
nothing new but i gently pointed it out to her as a reminder that bible reading can be hazardous to your mental health!.
do 2 (or 3, or 4) wrongs, make a right?

Yes, but spiritually he was forgiven and all was well. Plus, even though it says God did those things it evidently means God allowed those things to happen and didn't shield him from the consequences of sin.

What JWs do right, and what they do wrong.
by pleaseresearch inso tonight i'm going to be having a chat with my brother and hes asked me what my thought are on the above question.. i could be wrong with what im about to say but i do think the door to door ministry is one thing they are doing right.
i think the cart work on the other hand is wrong.
just today i saw two sisters sat next to their cart with people going by.

The door to door ministry is extremely ineffective. Why waste time on doors where no one is home or they don't answer? Or you get people who take the literature but aren't really interested, then you waste more time making RVs on these people. The whole thing is a big waste of time.

Water on Mars (Possibly life)
by pleaseresearch inthis has been an interesting story in the news recently.. just thinking, if in a few years time they drill down and discover water on mars and also some form of life.

'Life' elsewhere is probably one their most feared outcomes.
I think it would have to be some kind of intelligent life otherwise they just write a paragraph or two to explain it and keep going.

It should cause doubts because it supports the notion that life will evolve wherever the circumstances allow it to. JWs though would just dismiss it because it's microscopic bacteria and has no intelligence. They would say that somehow the bacteria must have traveled from Earth (where it was created) to Mars. Or they would say God created it there for some reason we don't yet understand.

I don't believe attraction to children can be thought of as a sexual orientation. In many cases it is a result of some kind of abuse, trauma, or mental illness. Something is messed up with these people, they need therapy and medication but they definitely don't need to be around kids.

The Latest Thing Waking People Up...
by pale.emperor insince i woke up and left i've been contacted by others i knew from my youth who've also left the cult.
also people around the world on facebook adding me out of the blue because we have mutual friends and they occasionally ask me stuff or share their story.. what i've noticed in the vast majority of cases, is that people are waking up not because of the arc or doctrine but apathy.
active jws are becoming less and less interested, less and less bothered.

Yeah you stupid idiots! because you guys didn't get off your fat asses and knock on doors, I now have to kill all these people but their blood is on YOUR hands not mine.....thus saith the lord god Jehovah.
Wait a second, I thought if we didn't preach "even the stones would cry out," I think we should test it out. That would be pretty amazing, talking rocks studying the Bible Teach book with people. LOL Really though which one is it? God needs people to do this work for him or he doesn't?

Weird love letter in the summer convention
by purrpurr inin this summer's convention theres a video showing the tale of a rather geeky plain looking brother whose relating the tale of how the prettiest girl in the whole school fancied him (!
) and sent him a love letter, the letter is read and it says .
"i think we would get along,i'm attracted to you, i like your personality, and that's not all, i think we could have fun together.

I agree the wording of the letter is changed to make the boys decision sound more dramatic. Why would the girl say "I hope you make the right decision" or "I'm attracted to you" that sounds very formal for a teenage girl. Sounds like it was written by WT to make his choice seem more important. The truth is it was probably a series of flirty text messages but they changed that because that would mean the brother gave her his phone number which they probably don't feel would be a good example.

The JW take on Black lives matter at the summer convention
by purrpurr inanother "gem" from the convention.
there's a talk about remaining neutral.
one of the topics they say jw's should avoid is the topic of "peoples lives matter" which is barely veiled code for black lives matter.

How do you not have a thought one way or another especially if your a minority group? I could see saying not to get involved or protest but everyone will have an opinion whether they express it or not.
