  The Reasons for Cart Witnessing

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  whatever we think of it, you have to admit that it's quite "genius".. the door to door ministry as done in western developed countries where the jw quirky religion has probably reached their saturation level was a complete and utter waste of time in terms of the effort expended to recruit people.. at the same time, it was rarely something that anyone enjoyed which led to people being labelled as inactive, being pressured to doing more and maybe ultimately deciding jwism wasn't for them and leaving.. there was also the issue that many jws are actually pretty bad at knowing and articulating their beliefs so were pretty incapable of getting any meaningful message across.. they solved all this with the cart witnessing.

  the real point isn't to recruit, it's to make life easier for jws.

  now they can stand and chat with their friend, have a coffee, not talk to anyone or make eye contact and still act as a walking billboard for jw.org.

  At this point, cart witnessing is just mostly for the pioneers and "exemplary publishers" in my congregation.

  Have yet to be asked to do any.

  It would be nice if this forum went back to the basics

  not to offend or impose my opinion.

  but simply i would like to see just news and insights from the local congregation to the top organization level of: downsizing, closings, c.s.a.

  personal experiences,unscriptural doctrines of the org.and direct commentary of the above.

  Idea: If a topic is political, keep it off the "hottest" query, but let it run long and hard in its category and be at the top of it as long as it is merited.

  If Angels in the Bible are of neuter gender ? Then why are they always depicted as males by description and name ? And never a female ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in all of the art i`ve seen in christendom, angels always have the form of a male, and in the bible those that are named always have a male name such as michael ,gabriel , etc, .

  nowhere in the art world that i have seen do angels have the female form, and in the bible they don`t have female names.. so if the angels are neither male or female why then are they depicted as males with male names ?and not female also ?.

  the watchtower illustrators also follow this line .when they illustrate an angel it is always in the form of a male and never a female form.. the anointed who make up the 144000 comprise of male and females right ?

  The angels that became men with penises in order to get the freak on with chicks were the first transgenders.

  Have you any idea how many tens of millions of people the Left starved, brutalised and killed in the 20th century?

  Dear LUHE,

  Look up whataboutism and learn something.

  Our daughter was free to make her own choice.

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  2. scandals

  when eloise dupuis gave birth to her son in 2016, there were complications where a blood transfusion would have saved her live.

  however, she refused and died; to the horror of the medical staff and the entire province of quebec.. two years later, there was a change in politics and the topic came back up in the media.

  the parents of eloise dupuis, obviously exhausted by the media coverage, wrote a comment to a well known news paper in quebec.

  I see their comment as more of a reflection of Christianity's (and JWs) basic message:

  "Serve God or be annihilated (tortured?) forever, it's your choice."

  They imagine that's giving you a choice.

  Legally she had a choice, and legally Watchtower could have it's tax exempt status revoked, etc.

  Like the girl that egged on her boyfriend to commit suicide, I believe any person/institution whose words or actions lead directly to death should have their day in court. At the minimum, they shouldn't be state sponsored, which is what charity status is.

  Did you know Banks create money out of thin air?

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  banks create money “out of thin air.”empirical studies have been undertaken to prove this thesis and this is the conclusion:.

  in the 5,000 year history of banking, banks have been thought of as “deposit taking institutions which lend money”.. 1. what is the legal reality?

  banks don’t take deposits and don’t lend money.the public is under this false impression on purpose because the language of banks is not legal language.. so--what is a “deposit”?a deposit is not actually a deposit.

  Hillary Clinton gets paid 700k by Goldman Sachs, Trump appoints Steve Mnuchin, and the ill informed masses don't care.

  Films with nudity

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i guess every jw has a different conscience on the matter, and i don't believe any jw publications have ever specifically mentioned nudity in film as being off limits.

  of course genitals are out of the question because that's usually relegated to r movies which most good jws don't view.

  female toplessness is condoned but not spoken about, as most jws i know have seen titanic and many own it.

  Here in Texas, JWs seem to tow the same line as most conservative Christians. No Rs, PG13s majority ok, PG most always ok, G no problem.

  From my experience, the JWs in the UK and the Netherlands have a much better view of movie viewing choices. The US always seems to be puritanical about sex and inconsistent about their supposed hatred of violence.

  I do have some Special Pioneer friends in Central America, and they watch EVERYTHING, pirated of course.

  I'm still working on my forum discussion skills. It is very easy for me to get emotional. I blame it on being PIMO, but it's probably just something I need to really work on that will stick with me after being POMO.
