  Cart Witnessing - Thrilling! Productive! Epic! Er.....um, well, not so much.....

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  talked with a pioneer recently, she was recounting her first experience with cart witnessing.. she brought the subject up, was going on & on & on & on about how wonderful the experience was, and how great, and how she enjoyed it so much, and it was so wonderful, and oh jehovah's blessing, and on and on and on...... a few questions to her revealed what really happened:.

  -- a jw who owns a small restaurant in a strip mall allows jws to set up their cart outside his restaurant.

  -- the restaurant is tucked pretty far out of the way, not prominent at all.

  Funny. . . . .

  At the university I'm attending, JW tables pop up every now and then during spring and fall semesters when the place is buzzing with students at the student centers.

  The response: *crickets*

  Right now I am taking summer courses at the U and the place is DEAD.

  The other day, I swear there couldn't have been more than half a dozen students in the entire student center.

  And yet. . . . . there was the JW table set up at the student center to preach to: NOBODY.

  They might as well have bought a few coffees and set up shop in the janitor's closet. Same exposure.

  What an incredible waste of time.

  From what I have heard from people "in the know," GB 1.0 did participate in FS, but GB 2.0 are MIA.

  Do these people even hear what is coming out of their mouths?

  Their child didn't come back because of Jehovah. She came back because she was emotionally blackmailed by WT via her family.

  FUN FACT: my wife was at this convention. In fact, she sat across from AMIII one of the days! We also know the guy conducting the interview.

  After 2 years my parents make contact. The end result is that I promise them to cryogenically preserve ONLY their heads

  by paulmolark in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it has been 2 and a half years since my departure from the religion.

  i was told by my parents from the start that i would never speak to them until i returned to jehovah dog.

  a few months later they told people they hoped i died before the end came, then all of this culminating in them telling my inactive / fading sister that they don't consider me a child anymore and they have given me up to satan.

  2. experiences

  i took a quick trip to the store and i happened to see a young man (about 26-28 years old) who got baptized about the same time i was leaving- about 2 years ago.

  a couple of pioneer sisters found him in the door to door work.

  one of them, a very attractive girl.

  Really?

  when it finally clicked,.

  and you realized there was no 1914, there was no generation that would see the end of a wicked system, there was no paradise around the corner, .

  what went through you mind?.

  When it finally "clicked" for me, I told myself: You need to get your ass in school!

  Within one year I was sitting in class at my state U.

  Now I'm a FT student, graduating in spring 2017, and looking foward to the future.

  I don't think they do it for money or power.

  I think they do what they do because they truly believe that CONTROL IS LOVE.

  RUNFOREVER - Awwww, come on now! We're discussing one of Christ's bruddas here!

  STEVE2 - not at all verifiable. . . . Total rumor-mill crap.

  SIR82 - Exactly what I was thinking. I've come to the conclusion that the average witness can't tell Jackson and Sanderson apart.
