At first I thought he was manning the cart.
He has that same enthusiastic look I used to have when I was dragged out on the field service.

11Picture worth 1000 words
by ILoveTTATT2 in(matthew 25:41-46) 41 “then he will say, in turn, to those on his left, ‘be on your way from me, you who have been cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
42 for i became hungry, but you gave me nothing to eat, and i got thirsty, but you gave me nothing to drink.
43 i was a stranger, but you did not receive me hospitably; naked, but you did not clothe me; sick and in prison, but you did not look after me.’ 44 then they also will answer with the words, ‘lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to you?’ 45 then he will answer them with the words, ‘truly i say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of these least ones, you did not do it to me.’ 46 and these will depart into everlasting cutting-off, but the righteous ones into everlasting life.”.

I think you've took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up here.
Careful getting to Cuba - you're likely to end up in Jamaica with direction sense like that.

The Danger of Settlements
by Tech49 ini was pondering the recent influx of lawsuits against wt, specifically in regards to the child abuse cases (ie.
conti, fessler, lopez, etc).. in each of these, wt has settled for an "undisclosed" amount, assumed to be in the millions of dollars each.
i know there are many many more cases, subject for a different thread i'm sure.. i was reading something completely unrelated a while back that mentioned the dangers of settlement agreements for a large corporation or business (not just wt).

Though I find it hard to believe that any victim would settle for money
I find it hard to believe anyone would write that.
It's a civil case - it's only about money.

Ricky Ross is an excellent song writer and they've just released a new album which is well worth a listen.
As for the OP, his ship called dignity sailed quite some time ago.

if an accident were to happen and a pedestrian was injured due to tripping over the cart or something similar. Has anything like this ever happened? Would they be left to deal with the situation entirely on their own?
That's certainly what the WTS seems to want to happen. Utterly brazen. Especially as PL insurance for those sorts of activities would be a minimal cost.
I think what is more reprehensible is that the letter was only to the elders, not to the congregation. So those poor saps stood by the carts more than likely don't realise that the WTS will cut them loose if there happens to be a claim against them.

It was an excellent congress speech. Full of rhetoric and promises of spending a trillion dollars on infrastructure and billions of dollars on the military, as well as a wonderful new healthcare system.
Strangely, not much about tax rises though.

Judge sanctions WTS - $4k per day penalty for not producing sex abuse documents
by Simon injudge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.
imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.
by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.

Landy. The ARC makes recomendatios to parliament to change laws ect.
They aren't going to make JW specific laws.
I think the best that can be hoped for is a law that requires all people in a position of religious authority to go through criminal record checks and perhaps safeguarding training. While that would be an excellent outcome I won't hold my breath.

Yup.
I'd call that authority.The point is, once they've attended and given 'evidence' the commission had no power to punish or effect change, other than through publicity.
