after reading funchback's post about "having a cart attack" it reminded of some pictures i saw this weekend on a friends fb page, his mother is still in da troof.
her pictures are from africa and europe and she's posted many pics of the brothers riding a bike with the whole cart display on their backs !!
i guess the dubs here in the u.s. don't know how easy they have it!.
In the city I live (Fortaleza), the cart folds into a small size and fits into a backpack. It takes about 20 seconds to do.
They then put the folded cart into the backpack and put the backpack on their back.
So, in a sense, they are carrying the carts on their backs but it's not a struggle at all...LOL!
On a side note, I had to knock on doors in the projects in Brooklyn when I was dating my ex-wife. One could argue that's just as dangerous as those gators.

Heaven-
This avenue (called Beira-Mar) is right on the beach. As the sun sets, it is bustling with families, joggers, vendors and such. Literally, hundreds of people pass by them on any given late afternoon/evening. They are with their carts every day. I've lived in this particular apartment for over a year. I walk home from work on this avenue every day at 4PM and they are out in 3 to 4 locations.
Anyway, not once have I received even a smile or a head nod. It's not because I'm "apostate" because they don't know me or my history.
Unless, Jehovah has put it into their hearts not to talk to me, in which case it must be the truth!
Just kidding. I don't believe in that nonsense anymore!

You should've seen how tight the dress of the middle sister was yesterday. Today, I only got the frontal view as I was in my apartment.

It's amazing. I only ever see them talking amongst themselves or to no one. They won't say a peep to you first. The photos are from about an hour ago. Yesterday, I sat on the bench where the ladies were. They didn't even look at me. They focused only on each other. Not that I'm complaining...LOL! Just saying that, allegedly, this is the most important message ever in life yet they don't actively share it.
Like Londo and Fink mentioned...Easiest way ever to get your time.

while mike pence the vice president-elect is a hardcore conservative christian with a history of anti-lgbt-related controversies, mike pence the software developer appears to be the exact opposite.
he described himself to nymag as a “liberal, atheist, ex-jehovah’s witness computer programmer,” and “not a bigoted shill for the republican party.”.
meet mike pence’s namesake: ‘other’ mike pence has no love lost for vp-elect.
Mike Pence (my ex-JW friend) is a great guy and wonderful dad. He and his wife used to post on here many years ago. We all attended the Oreland, PA congregation. He was THE original "appostate" from our hall, followed by his wife, her brother, myself as well as many others.
Kudos to my friend, Mike!
i go to a hall (very rarely) with a single cong of about 60 people in a small city of maybe 10000. our board of elders is a bunch of childless weirdos or at least the ones that make an effort.. they recently changed the sunday meeting time from 10/12 to 1/ 3. a number of us are pissed off.
its makes to hard to drive to the city or go to a football game.. i just know the gestopo elders behind the change.
if your life isnt as miserable or pointless as theirs, they arent doing their job.
Phone in. Tune out.
instead of making a new thread for every little thing related to memorial 2017, i'm going to try to post here.
.
and to start us off.... cart artwork for 2017 memorial invitations.
Little known fact:
The young fella looking back at the camera was, shortly thereafter, turned into a pillar of salt.
i just had a random recall about jws and what they used to peddle.. in my area of pennsylvania (usa), there was a brother who used to be the shaklee dealer.. there was also a brother who owned his own landscaping company and sold long distance phone plans.
in fact, i remember 3 brothers who sold lond distance plans.. did anyone else experience these products or others?
just wondering.. brian.

Primerica was quite the scam.
for those who were never a jw, here's a fun guide to passing yourself as one:.
privilege [priv-lij] - a duty nobody would volunteer to do which is assigned to you without your say so.
such as cleaning the toilets, picking up other brats candy wrappers in the back row and being stuck on locking up duty for the 7th time in a row.. df'd [dee-eff'd] - disfellowshipped.
pale.emperor-
I was watching a JW video yesterday posted on here and the speaker said 'secular work', and I was like, 'Only JWs use this term'. And then you created this thread.
