300 books and magazines placed outside The Shard

by pleaseresearch in

hi all.. so i got a txt today from a very proud mum claiming that, the jw cart produced 300 book and magazine placements.

mostly from foreign speakers.. the shard is the tallest building in the uk.

this is where the cart was placed.. not a bad day they had really.

It was a video that was viewed by many congregations here in the UK, maybe other counties too I'm not sure.

I believe it was part of the special needs section of the meeting.

Out on Facebook

by disillusioned 2 in

i am just venting because my sister has put on facebook that i am no longer "in the truth"!

i have kept a very low profile for years and have silently faded.

many witnesses i have bumped into are very friendly towards me, some from other congregations may not even be aware that i dont go anymore.

Wow what a horrible thing to do.

I love this idea though.

Post that you were JUST considering coming to a meeting very soon but you felt a bit embarrassed and apprehensive. You had just built up the courage to do it but this has destroyed you forever and you'll never be able to now.

What is a generation? Matthew 1:17 is pretty clear to me

by pleaseresearch in

so we have this ridiculous teaching of an overlapping generation, something the bible clearly does not teach.

if this has been mentioned before i apologize.

but it's interesting that at the start of matthew we go through the genealogy of jesus.

So we have this ridiculous teaching of an overlapping generation, something the bible clearly does not teach. If this has been mentioned before I apologize.

But it's interesting that at the start of Matthew we go through the genealogy of Jesus. It's pretty clear and well laid out for us to read and we get to see how many generations we go through. It states this at verse 17 and uses the word γενεαὶ -geneai for generations. Yet when we get to Matthew 24:34 we have Γενεὰ - Genea. So for me it's very clear what the writer of Matthew meant by a generation, because he went through all those generations at the very start. I'm someone who has faded for the past 10 years. No way can I get my head around this JW generation teaching.

Great to hear from people who walk past these carts. The big question is then, if on a normal day the carts aren't so busy. Why when Watchtower cameras are present it's like a frenzy?

Did they go many times and see the unproductive days, or were they extremely lucky that they were there when the fish were biting. Or what else, they staged it all hahaha to get that perfect piece for the camera? Got brothers and sisters to take literature, pay people to show how busy and amazing these carts are. I'm struggling to understand why on any normal day they are quiet, but when the JW camera crew are in town, these carts cant keep up with demand.

It just seems a big coincidence that when the Watchtower camera's are present they have two super days. One in London and one in Amsterdam.

Would love to hear from any brothers or sisters that do the cart in popular city areas. Have you ever experienced a frenzy like was seen on this video at the meeting?

I mean it wouldn't really thrill a congregation to see what I've seen and that's very little action around the carts. It may have been that they were lucky to have such busy days, but I sense something wrong with this. If I had seen something like this in my city or anywhere for that matter then I would believe. But I've never known these carts to be productive. Are they?

So it was a video played at the KH. It showed carts outside The Shard and she says it was around 200 or 300 in two hours, several carts.

She also said there were 500 out in Amsterdam with the carts and thousands were being placed, even one woman stopping a tram to get a mag or book. Brothers having to go back and get more literature.

Hard to know what to believe, but she said from that video you can see how the carts are really being utilized now. But I've seen them around my city and in towns while visiting, and seen nobody taking them.

I need to find out if she was there in person. I don't think so because we don't live in London so it's interesting that she got these details. I have said before how unproductive I think the carts are, so this is one of them, I told you so texts, proving herself right.

I need to ring her and find out more about this.

Hi all.

The Shard is the tallest building in the UK. This is where the cart was placed.

Not a bad day they had really. It was over 2 hrs. So that's 150 an hour. Every time I've always seen the cart out and about a city or town nobody has been to it. But if this is true, then not bad today.

I don't want this guy to have a reason to bring me in for a judicial meeting. I hope he wouldn't. As it stands I still see my mum and that's the only reason why I'm still on the books as a JW. But I don't go to meetings, I haven't for the past 4 years.
