reading a report of an elder in a friends cong has been hiding and spying on the pioneers who seem to have a practise of dumping the cart and finding a local coffee shop, i've noticed that they do this in my local high street as well but this week they seemed to be all huddled around the cart, they've clearly been warned, a vast percentage of the time i see they seem to be more interested in fiddling with their mobile phones and gossiping, is just seems these carts are a means for the pioneers to turn in "easy time" i wonder what sort of figures show how much literature is being taken by the public?

i bet its very minimal.

naturally the gb would say they are a phenomenal success , we clearly know they are not.

I have friends in the city who have been involved with cart/table witnessing since the pilot "Manhattan" project. They have told me that they do "place" a lot of literature and that mostly religious crazies talk to them (trying to convert THEM!)

I asked them how many people had "come into the truth" or started attending meetings as a result of cart witnessing in the past three (or four now?) years of doing this work.

Answer: zero.

does anyone have any links to how the mormons (or ex mormons for that matter) view the changes that the wts has made over recent years, especially the growth of jw.org and characters like caleb & sophia?.

have they noticed?

do they see similarities?

It will be interesting to see the effect that cart/table witnessing has on growth over the next several years.

Injected Buddhist teachings into Watchtower Study today

by cappytan in

on the paragraph about meditation in today's study, i gave a comment about "meditating with a view towards mindfulness and awareness of the positive things in our lives.".

afterwards, about 8 people that i rarely talk to in the congregation came up and expressed how much they appreciated that point.. wanted to say, "thank the buddha.

" but didn't have the guts.

That is great! Good job.

Ye of little faith!

It APPEARS as though Jehover did nothing to protect this poor soul working hard in His service. . . . ..

When in fact, He protected him SPIRITUALLY. . . . . 😉

Devouring the Forbidden Fruit - Higher Education

well, i told my wife over the weekend i was going to go back school to finish my degree.

she is 100% supportive of it!

apparently she doesn't think higher education is so evil either.. since my former major was computer programming and that was in the late 1990's, i was told i'd have to retake a bunch of classes since times have changed.
