  It's no different than those who popped out projectors to show the photo dramas.

  I rather like it if it's manned by elderly witnesses who shouldn't be walking all around anyway. Give them a break.

  Challenging JWs at Cult Carts

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if i have time i always talk to jws when i see a cult cart.. they are in a public forum promoting a harmful ideology therefore they are fair game.

  having said that, the individual jws on the trolley are not the enemy so i think it's better to keep it as friendly and non-confrontational as possible.. being realistic no jw is going to admit they are wrong because of something we say to them on the street but don't underestimate the long-term effect of doubts.. so what are your ideas for how to approach them?.

  personally i like to use the literature on the cart.

  Why????? Leave them alone.

  You want them to leave you alone, yes?

  I don't bother them because I don't want them bothering me.

  CHILD BAPTISM

  by megabyte_vijay in

  it is strange to read the last week watchtower that encouraging child/teenagers' baptism.

  even jesus was baptised as his 30. jws encouraging marriages at an older age.

  but why they are encouraging children to get baptised.

  If you don't understand that baptism is a serious repentance for your sins, you're too young to be baptized. Baptizing babies is plain silly. Baptism is a conscientious choice. No babies or  children were baptized by John or the real Apostles.

  WTC and a must second, the modern museum of art. Nothing like it. The Bronx third, for outstanding food. Grenwhich village, just for fun. Take a carriage ride through Central Park.

  Sorry, I was tired when translating. Around midnight. Translating using JW speak killed some of my brain cells. 

  If you find anything else, feel free to correct it.

  Playing ball ball with your dog makes you Satanic? Weird how they see Satan everywhere. Kinda like someone saying they see dead people everywhere.

  How utterly psychotic.

  Now we know why those loons don't go door to door. People would be calling 911 about mentally disturbed men knocking on doors in their neighborhood all day.

  Building 500 new kingdom halls?

  by Coded Logic in

  2. friends

  the wtbts has to know they aren't actually going to see their numbers significantly jump anytime soon/ever right?

  are they planning on cutting the rbc down to 1/10th the work force so they can actually slow down their kh projects instead of increasing them?

  or do they think their little website scheme is actually going to bring in more people?.

  I'm still trying to figure out how video footage of trial testimony is an "apostate" lie. It's just court footage like any other.

  What was said was what was said.

  Itsi easy to tell other people to stand fast when it isn't your life on the line and you're thousands of miles away living a life of considerable ease.

  If people in your town are trying to hurt you 'cause you keep coming to their doors 'bothering' them, it's not the best practice to go out in Field service. That's plain dumb and Christ told his disciples NOT to do that. Did any of the Apostles return to places they had to escape out of? No. If they are not interested leave them alone.

  Shake the dust off your feet. You can speak to someone showing interest informally.

  Another generation....

  by joey jojo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?

  the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.

  the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.
