I have always wanted to do that too. But only long enough to get a picture of me with the twister in the background. Then I will be happy and ready for another bucket list item.

Witness Carts - A Vehicle for Significant Decline

by slimboyfat in

i was stalking to a jw today about her recent experience on the carts and with being a jw generally.

until this conversation i considered the carts as just an ineffective preaching method and a harmless waste of time.

but now i wonder if the effect of the carts might be to produce noticeable decline in jw numbers.

I have not seen or spoken with anyone who has cart witnessed, however I do agree that this could backfire.

When I think about the door to door ministry prior to the carts, we could knock on hundreds if not thousands of doors before we would come across someone who would directly challenge the message or JW belief system.

Now with cart witnessing, a JW really has a big target on them for any who wish to challenge them. They are a sitting duck for apostates and it's not as easy for them to get away as it is in their own home.

It would be interesting to know if the JW sister of 30 years has had any direct confrontations with apostates while cart witnessing. Maybe something they said hit home and the reason for her drop off in service.

Good topic SBF, and glad to see you posting back here again.

...decided to sell their home and move to smaller apartment to pioneer full time, they described how their relationship with Jehoober became really strong.

If they didn't say something like that then they would just be stupid. Have they not thought about when you own your own home you have more security compared to renting?

Are they all hold up in the basement of their rental unit?

call out to awake JWs...... want to have some fun with this?

Start a prepping fad, start talking about prepping a lot among other members.

How can the elders say anything when they show a video like that at the convention? They are actually encouraging prepping, use their own video against them!

i found out this morning that my brother died last night, he was also an ex jw, 73 years old and died of heart disease and kidney failure.

it was not totally unexpected, as he had been in poor health, but it's a blow, especially as i just lost another brother two years ago.

there were six of us, now only four.

So sorry for your loss
