I would like to add my personal experience. When standing at carts for 4 hours at a time, sometimes longer, and being instructed NOT to approach or initiate conversations, I began to think of how different this is to the "preaching" mentioned in the Bible. Wake up call 1! I also had people ask about the ARC and CSA cases in the news, where I had to admit "yes, I am aware" yet could offer no explanation as to why our religion NEVER apologises. Wake up call 2! I also saw people on the streets in need of food, assistance and so on, yet we were told not to help them. Wake up call 3! Honestly, in my experience anyway, doing cart work IS helpful - it helped ME to wake up. Perhaps it will help more PIMI JWs to become PIMO, and eventually POMO.

Trashy Watchtower Corporation Carts In Public Places, Can Cities Ban them?
by Brokeback Watchtower inthey have a very big child abuse enabler international reputation in the courts can these things be a reason for banning these stupid ass carts that claims to have all the answers to mans hardest questions.. why should every library have to permit them to plant their lame ass carts close to the entrance.. i'm thinking that soon due to all the bad publicity surrounding the jehovah witness cult leaders that cart witnessing will come to be seen as a very big waste of time by all it's members that have become hall less thus missing a shit load of meeting and a beginning to start thinking for themselves.. i'm sure many jws hate this type of work even now, even though it's an easy way to get your time in and not be labeled inactive or keep the elders off your back.
have you noticed that a lot of carts don't have a jw near by?
i never see anybody at the carts where i live, i've even asked people nearby and nobody knew who put the cart there.

From the book "Jesus - The Way, the Truth..."
CHAPTER 35
The Famous Sermon on the Mount
On a mountainside in Galilee, perhaps not far from his center of activity in Capernaum, Jesus finds a level place on the mountainside and the crowd gathers around. His disciples, especially the 12 apostles, are probably nearest to him. He begins with this declaration:
"This is NOT a congregation gathering - Jesus Inc. are NOT liable. Please see our T&Cs at jw. Borg. Your statutory rights are affected."
...and the crowds began to marvel at his legal wisdom.

Is this a...?
1. "congregation picnic"
2. "congregation gathering"
3. "spontaneous gathering of JWs”Awake! magazine 1983 (g83 10/22 27)
"At a picnic of members of our congregation, one brought a fiddle, another a guitar, and so on."
However, in the new elders' manual it seems that there are legal concerns:
“SHEPHERD THE FLOCK OF GOD” (2019)
Chap.29 | Legal Matters: 8.Social EventsThe congregation does not organize or sponsor social events. Individuals who host social events bear personal responsibility for what occurs at the event. Such individuals should not state or imply that they are acting on behalf of the congregation. They should not use terms such as “congregation picnic” or “congregation gathering.”

There are things we know. There are things we don't know. There are things we know we don't know, and....OK! Enough! We know WWW (wicked witch of the west),WWE (wicked witch of the east), GGWN (Glinda the good witch of the North), YBR (yellow brick road), and GT (Oz the Great and Terrible) whose name is Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs. But this KOTN? Really?

10 years ago, in 2009, a Jehovah’s Witness stood before the world's press and announced "This is it!". Sadly, he passed away in death a matter of weeks later. Michael Jackson's "This is it!" event never happened. I do not mean to exploit the death of any human, but isn't there an ironic similarity? What I mean is that Tony's event will also never happen.

Why thank you, sir! And if you manage to come by a copy of those Chelmsford UK Bethel project news items - mentioned in this letter - then I would be equally appreciative.

At 1.4% growth the last 2 years, it's safe to say, jw.org and cart witnessing is an abject failure!
by nowwhat? inso much for jehovah blessing this new arrangement.
they are barely keeping up with the birthrate!
so basically the org spent millions of dollars on their website and broadcasting so the only growth they are still getting comes from born ins and illiterate and superstitious folks from africa.

The figures are doctored. I need to do more research, but it's a fact that WT report UK (Britain) population DROPPED! Yet the UN figures, and the UK government official figures show that the UK population has need INCREASING for decades. The WT 2018 report UK population 2 million LESS than reality. This skews the "publisher ratio" in favour of WT. I am doing more research going back 20 years using the UN figures, and the UK government figures. I will then compare other countries. Smells like someone is cooking the books!
