  the "boasting session" last night included forcing the congregation to watch that stupid witnessing cart video.

  then the brother handling the part discusses what a "powerful witness" is being given each time those carts roll out into public view.. experiences: had a nice conversation with a young man.

  a woman took a tract.

  Just when you think it can't possibly get any more ridiculous, they bring us this:

  Oh, look, the cart didn't have enough space for all the literature. It was convenient that these kids were available to hold the extras:

  the brother doing the part about using the carts kept emphasizing that a publisher must QUALIFY to do this SPECIAL work.

  That's pretty effin' funny!

  What "qualifications" exactly does a person need to stand next to a magazine rack?

  I would guess first on the list would be the ability to stand in one place for an extended period of time.

  FHM: I would love to go stand next to the cart with a sign that quotes from an article from the the WTS with their real view [about higher education], then a statement, "Why not ask these Witnesses about it?"

  Brilliant! Counter-Witnessing.

  I love it!!!

  Magnum: This incident reminds me of one of my main complaints about JWdom - the lack of opportunity for honest, sincere criticism.

  Exactly. This is also one of the things that distinguish a legitimate religion from a cult.
  

  Magnum: Suppose there had been someone in the audience who was really concerned about the effectiveness of the cart witnessing. Could he have voiced his concern?

  Sure they could have voiced their concern or disagreement, but only at the risk of social sanctions ranging from dirty looks to judgmentally dismissive comments, from a talk by the elders on the need to be "humble" to ostracism and shunning.

  Again, proof that this is not a healthy group, but a high-control, authoritarian cult.

  There's a pattern emerging

  the congregation that i am associated with pledged a monthly amount for the construction of a new assembly hall.

  after it was built, that was where we went for several years, even though it was the farthest-away place we had ever had for our circuit assemblies.. after a few years, lo and behold, our congregation is assigned to a new circuit where (surprise!

  ) a new assembly hall is in the early stages of construction.

  Stillin: it means that I should sell all of my stuff, give the money to support the Kingdom work, and take my uneducated ass to live on the street until the New System gets here.

  I do hope you're being sarcastic!

  Because I think it means this organization is a real estate pyramid scheme disguised as a religion.

  Let's review: It's a cult!
