  the carts are the new face of the organization. i think they are a great idea actually - from a business perspective..free advertising,brand awareness etc.. also i think a lot of people prefer having the carts on the street at the same location,rather than incessant door knocking. at the very least you can avoid using that particular corner or street if you dont want it in your vision

  The Watchtower's Great Game of "Jenga" and Exposure

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jenga is a simple game in which wooden blocks are neatly piled up - and then removed, one by one, until one person ( the person who loses.

  the game) makes the pile collapse.. it is tempting to see the organization in the same way - making small but significant "removals" over time.

  they pull out food service.

  dont really see the organization as collapsing - more like streamlining..

  happening in all organisations that use print or media to generate income - look at the NY Times, Hollywood..

  Looking forward to going to Memorial this year!

  i have some tricks to play.

  i know it may sound childish but i feel that creating havoc and forcing the memorial to be postponed will be the highlight of the night!

  wish me luck!.

  why not just respect peoples right to do what they want,where they want..

  i have vivid memories as a kid going to the memorial and 'apostates' turning up and trying to disrupt it.

  it just reinforced to every witness in attendance to have zero contact with ex-members.

  i used to like the written review..was something different.
