At a local Dunkin Donut shop i see two sisters with a cart just about every day, even when it is not much above 0 degrees F, there they are freezing their asses off. In two years I've never seen them talking to anyone, not once. Sad waste of time. Where they stand and set up their cart is away from the door of DD and is not even real noticeable to the DD customers, after they first showed up in that spot I saw them for about two weeks before I even realized who they were. I go to DD with a lady from work and she has never commented anything like what the hell are they standing there for day after day, what they are doing is so insignificant.. Doesn't seem to be much old fashioned field service around here anymore, but maybe the locals have made me a 'not to call' on person , I don't know. Pontoon in the Hudson Valley, about 25 miles from Watchtower Farm.

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!.

Crazy ass cart witnessing!
by Crazyguy ini know i know we have all read about it but my mom goes out in service to this crazy cart witnessing crap.
so they go sit by the cart for a half hour then they get back into the car to warm up and the next two sisters take over for a half hours etc.
but then there is at least one brother siting in his car to watch and over see the sisters so he can be like their security.

I'm seeing more and more cart witnesses. See one in the same spot every day outside local Dunk'n Donuts. Never have seen anyone talking to the two women standing there, not even one time since they have been using that spot, about a year now.

why the watchtower is so short of money
by pepperheart inthe watchtower is so short of money because they have to pay for all the upkeep of so many branch offices around the world.because so many of the branch offices are in very poor countries and they are not balancing the budgets.

Why do so many not understand the corp begging for money??? It's so simple, they beg and the money pours in. It is just one of their income streams along with their rental KH properties, AH properties, real estate business, selling bible promise of everlasting life. Begging is part of their business model. Simple.

Craziest Speculations You’ve heard about the end and paradise
by Addison0998 inwe’ve all heard them all our life.
my two biggest stupidest ones i think are, “ we can really tell the end is almost here with the way people drive on the highway.” and a girl who said she wants to hurry up and marry her boyfriend because she’s scared if the end comes before their married, she’ll have to wait 1000 years to marry him.
oh and also a poor old lady saying that she hopes jehovah wipes away the memory of her disfellowshipped sons that he will have to destroy.

Loosing your Privleges and Scumbag elders
by Addison0998 inso 9 months before i started pioneering, i had a hot and heavy moment with this player witness who was just trying to string me along and talked to a lot of different girls.
we made out and he grabbed my goodies a few times you know the regular stuff all teens do at least once.
anyways i never saw him again because when i refused to send him nudes he dropped me.

And now you;re on a apostate web site so you are apparently done with the corporation. From the borg's point of view this is much worse than touchy feely, they find out you will be DF'ed for sure. So keep on moving on and away from the corp, enjoy life, have fun, a career, relationship(s), friendships in a life not ruled by a corporation whose business model is to separate members from their money by selling them a false promise. Good luck!

Lost my virginity a week before first public talk
by ElderEtta ini had just turned 18 and was a young mover in our congregation, vac pioneering on summer vacation, instruction talks in the km school and at local circuit assembly, plans to serve where the need was greater in a different state.
i was also engaged to be married in the following spring to a girl in that distant state.. this was november and i had just registered for the draft having turned 18. my parents said i could make my move after registering.
i saw the stack of handbill invitations to my very first public talk although i can't remember its title.

I didn't hear their silent knock at the door but happened to catch two of'em leaving on my security monitor. No one I recognized. A memorial invite was left in my door. Had I had a chance to talk with them I would have asked "since Jesus only had his very close apostles with him at the 'last supper' what is the BIBLE PRECEDENT for JW's inviting everyone they ever met to go to the memorial? Not only that, you yourselves (supposedly) are only an invited guests, onlookers, what right do you have to invite strangers or anyone to a party that is not yours? I really don't care anymore, just to mess with them a little.
