  What is the Watchtower's(R) Objective with the APATHY TROLLEY(CART)?

  i wefer to my pwevious fred http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/280829/2/i-saw-a-trolley-cart-to-you-cousins-in-the-u-s-a.

  if the wbt$ is losing money and drones then why so much apathy surrounding the trolley/cart?.

  why are they not being more pro-active with this 'urgent, never to be repeated work(tm)?'.

  Oops, I should have posted my new thread to this one! :/

  I think it's about increasing their presence and becoming more noticeable.

  JW presence

  the underground station i live next to in london is usually relatively quiet, however it is also the local station closest to the wimbledon tennis courts, so for about 2 weeks a year it really comes to life, starting today.

  (yay wimbledon!

  i saw no jws last year, but they seemed to have cottoned on to this opportunity and were out in force today.

  The underground station I live next to in London is usually relatively quiet, however it is also the local station closest to the Wimbledon tennis courts, so for about 2 weeks a year it really comes to life, starting today. (Yay Wimbledon!)

  I saw no JWs last year, but they seemed to have cottoned on to this opportunity and were out in force today. I think they must have started planning ahead.

  Also as I was stood outside the station queueing to get in, the JW on the cart approached to offer me a magazine, I declined and told him he wasn't supposed to approach people, he ignored me and moved on to the next target. There was competition from the Jews for Jesus, who seemed to have no hesitation in handing out their tracts and I wondered if this had inspired the JWs.

  Meanwhile the underground station for my work has always been a busy area for proselytising, it's right on Oxford Street, the main high street in London and one of the busiest stations. I've seen everything from evangelicals to muslims and even scientologists outside. JWs have caught up to this as well and are now outside every day! It's a major frustration that I have to see JWs nearly every day of the week now, I can't get away from these people! Bizarrely JWs are the only proselytising group that never approach anyone, but they're also there more frequently than anyone else. I'm told they're at all the busy London stations daily.

  My point is that while you guys in smaller towns might not see the point in these carts, they're heavily targeting busy areas in major cities and increasing their presence. I don't know if this will be effective for them but I think I can see the logic behind this approach.

  Murray is having a good start but his form's not been the same since his injury and I don't think he'll win again, sadly. I'm going Nadal for the men's and Sharapova for the ladies.

  I was very frustrated by England's performance yesterday. It's not the best England defence ever and we needed a midfield that could protect them more, play 3 in the middle or at least put someone like Barry in there who knows how to play the defensive role. Gerrard was very poor. :(

  Oh well, hopefully some of our 'stars' will retire from international football now and we can try to build a balanced side rather than one that forces our big names into the wrong positions.

  What would be your favorite job if you could do anything.?

  on the basis that most of us realise the w.t wasnt really the best " job" or way to spend our days, it would be fun to find out what people would really have liked to have done with there lifes and if this is still possible.

  or maybe its not even a very realistic ambition just a dream.

  in my dreams i stay at home all day and make a living from being a professional artist.maybe i need a phycholgist?.

  Individual countries have done this in the past and failed. The UN will never do it, they don't have the power.

  What do you think Panthers?

  it was a long time coming for me.....when i read about the extened generations, after being raised on1914 being the be all end all, and millions would never die....that was the end.

  i was part of the 1975 fiasco, the 6 month only truth book studies, suffered through a disifellowshipping and their version of a rewind.

  i finally am free and hope others can eventually look in instead of inside looking out!

  When they said you can't study biblical Greek and Hebrew to test the NWT, I thought 'what are they hiding?' and it went from there.
