  One of my Wifes old JW family friends showed up and you could tell she was bursting to talk about the cult to get us to go back. She worked in this old system sure can go on much longer. I had to bite my tongue you mean since 1874?

  It had to. People are hard wired to want to know. Religion gives them the answers. It was just going to happen.

  My impressions of the cart witnessing

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have watched tons of youtube videos of our exjdub friends approaching and talking to the jdub manikins at their carts as they give a great witness to the world by sipping their hot lattes, updating their social media, chit chatting to each other, and the most important thing of getting their time in, counting their hours.. when the jw's see someone approach with a camera they do several things, they will turn their backs on the person, or look at the person with a frown and act like the person isn't even there.

  the witlesses refuse to answer simple, clear, and precise questions.

  when i was an elder i loved to get into discussions and debates with trinitarians, priest, clergymen and those who were born again.

  I remember talking to my great uncle who was around in the cult when they used phonographs. He would brag about putting his foot in the door and the house holder was going to hear the sermon one way or another. That carried down for a lot of years and even the persistence of the going from door to door knocking on the same doors over and over took a lot of energy and determination. Now they roll out a cart sit there like a bump on a log and play on their smart phone. They are getting fat and lazy. The preaching work is dying off the way I see it.

  My wife said her sister was acting like it was a hard thing to do, to look up or find the HQ address for dollar General the former employer of her daughter to keep her food stamps going. I looked it up on line in about 30 seconds. But she can run facebook all day long.

  My wife and I went to War Eagle Ar Saturday. There is a small library. Its about 18 inches x 18 inches. We took some photos and my wife said look a NWT silver edition. I grabbed it. I would never pay for one and new I would run across one one day. This way I keep the propaganda out of some poor unsuspecting persons hands. I heard there was some changes. Lots of propaganda in the front. [IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/2mqqn14.jpg[/IMG]

  I have never been to Bethel but I had year after year seen how some would gush over a CO or DO who came to visit. In some cases almost fighting who would host them for dinner.
