  Pokemon GO Witnessing - Gotta Catch 'em All !

  by Simon in

  news just in .... as part of an effort to try and get youths enthusiastic about the kingdom ministry service, the watchtower is releasing it's own "pokemon go" style app which will allow anyone with a mobile phone to rush around the neighbourhood looking for an "interested person" who they can scan and collect.. they think the popularity may even spur pioneers to move faster than shuffling pace in some extreme cases.. when asked if this was just some kind of cheap gimmick designed to distract people from the fact that the religion never delivered on any of it's more important promises, a spokesman for the watchtower said "so?".

  we asked whether it was a good idea to allow elders in the local hall to track the whereabouts of possibly unaccompanied minors and the spokesman replied "oh shiiiiiiit !!!

  ".

  JWs Demonstrating against the Demonstrators

  the organization never ceases to amaze.you've got to see this video for yourself so i won't say much about it.

  i wonder if this practice has been endorsed and sanctioned by the governing body and if we will see more of it in the future.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbuxbx1ktci.

  I would have to say that JWs handled the situation better than most religious people would. The elders were calm and just stood there to ensure that no violence resulted from this occurrence. Take a look at how those sorts of demonstrations go in public. Usually there's heated debate (shouting) and, at times, violence.

  JW Cart Witnessing = ONE BIG JOKE

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was talking to a good buddy of mine a couple days ago (we pioneered and were in bethel together and have both left the cult a few years ago), about the current cart and d. and the consensus was that it is now a complete joke.

  was watching a couple witnesses last week sit at a table with their literature display.

  no approaching people for conversation, no initiating stimulating dialogue with passerbys, as was encouraged when i "pioneered" back in the day.

  I remember when I was still an unbaptized publisher going from door to door. I also remember when I found out about this whole cart witnessing thing and was told that each person has to be approved in order to 'participate'... I couldn't help but wonder, 'What the heck are the qualifications'?

  Having that said, in my career as a publisher, I had a few opportunities to 'participate' in cart witnessing. I wasn't approved, but those opportunities were really outcomes of certain circumstances, such as when I was doing door-to-door preaching with somebody who had already planned cart witnessing afterwards but couldn't drive me back home. (I was younger at the time, without the driver's license.)

  I think it happened around three times. It was the best type of preaching, precisely because I didn't have to talk to anyone. I was still inexperienced, yet I didn't have any problems with cart witnessing...

  Those 'qualifications' are really a joke, I'd have to say.

  Great Tribulation alert?: Russia signs new restrictions that bans almost all forms of religious preaching outside recognized churches.

  by redpilltwice in

  this morning, my wife showed me this online article (written yesterday evening july 11, 2016) from dutch newspaper "trouw":.

  http://www.trouw.nl/tr/nl/4716/christendom/article/detail/4337852/2016/07/11/rusland-verbiedt-thuiskerken-en-meeste-geloofsverkondiging.dhtml.

  to me, this seems to be one serious step further, and together with the convention bunker video's it will surely fuel the persecution-syndrome and expectations of the great tribulation even more than it already did!

  Vidiot - Wait... Isn't "Babylon the Great" supposed to be attacked first? Isn't the "King of the North" supposed to attack God's People last? WTF???

  What did you expect? He was just resurrected this season. The King of the North will make mistakes, especially after being dead for a few days. He's still waking up. Give him some time; Jon will realize he's attacking the wrong religion.

  stuckinarut2 - Good reasoning saename!

  Thanks. I may be wrong, of course, but it's not like we are ever going to find out what the author of Numbers meant or thought at the time of writing the book, so... why not just make a guess, eh?

  LostGeneration, I understand your frustration. I don't quite get it either.

  I don't get it especially because I'm a skeptic. I don't believe in things just because someone tells me what happened. Especially when it comes to history, a subject I like to learn about. I was never able to find (relatively) unbiased and reliable sources to confirm or disconfirm the hypothesis that Russel created the Watchtower that was allegedly linked to the Freemasons.

  I am no Watchtower sympathizer, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna believe every single statement against the Watchtower.
