this weeks km is telling elders to arrange for group studies with people in local nursing homes, with instructions on how to word things when speaking to the directors etc.. they are clearly trying to get to people who may not be entirely able to think for themselves or who may lack critical thinking and yet may have money to leave to them.. what can you do?.
well, if you wanted to, write a short and simple letter or email to your local care home, perhaps directly even speak to the director yourself... warn them about the brainwashing and danger of breaking up of families etc.
the km says they should identify themselves as jw's... .
defender of truth:
do i take it your in the UK ?
I give up. Nobody gives a damn, I get it..
will you stop throwing your toys out of the pram ?? its annoying---give others to time to read your postings and consider their response.
just behave yourself--your not throwing your weight round in a kingdom hall now.
yes.. peterborough city center u.k. ''what does the bible really teach'' displayed on it.. a family of 3 i know were sitting on the bench just behind it.
i'm not going to say anything derogatory about them as they are nice folks even if they have to shun me now i bear no malice.. as predicted not a single person was paying any attention as they walked by.
i noticed some other canvassers (non religious), were actively approaching people and handing out leaflets.. on the market i saw the jw charity stall and again not a single soul was interested or even near it.. i'm glad this 'urgent never to be repeated work(tm)' is being vigorously carried out by god's chosen people.
are these carts stable in a high wind ? or--would a nudge help ?

hey--how about if they set up their cart outside a football ground exit on a saturday afternoon ??
would you care?.
would there be any repercussions?.
i really miss not being disfellowshipped--i feel ive missed out somewhere
this thread is for you to vent about anything (within guidelines) that you want.. i'll start.. i'm sick of people who complain about how cold the weather is and then you have two 85 degree days and now they can't wait till autumn!.
why does saturday have to have a turd in the middle of it ?
would you care?.
would there be any repercussions?.
@pronomono. what you wrote above--simply proves the jw religion is just plain wrong. i know your right--been there....even though i was never disfellowshipped.

6-30??---what--in the morning ???
in fact--why bother "manning" them at all ? they cant cost much--and the litter is free--so--why dont they just turn up--offload cart--fill with mags--and go home. then hours later--return to see if its still there. then count the hours as service.
i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.

my jw dad is in a care home--the local elders havent been near him in months---only a 90 year old sis he met 40 years ago--she lives nearby. they cant get any cash out of him--ive got legal power of attorney--and handle all his finances. so they would have to come to me for a handout. i cant wait !
