Another heavy load :Literature Cart Witnessing

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

jehovah's witnesses standing on a street corner publicly promoting the propaganda of the governing body!another ridiculous form of "forced loyalty" to jehovah.

"dirty work" that the wtbts make witnesses go through.preaching work '' lite''.putting more heavy loads on members while the ''faithful and discreet slave'' preach from warm studios without the humiliation.

what an embarrassment!.

But the rank and file love this type of preaching. Witnesses don't like the door to door. This is an easier way of preaching. Some are getting in line to have a cart assigned to them.

lett is back with a vengance!.

* the last money-begging effort increased donations by 15% for two months; a letter by a 13 year old who donated is read out loud.

* since last may "so many good things have happened".

I can't gag this stuff down anymore. Can someone with a strong intestinal fortitude give us where exactly he is talking about money???

i heard from the semi reliable source that the pioneer schools will go the way of the dodo bird next year.. i could see this happening.

it used to be that you went to the the pioneer school once.

then they allowed dubs to go every 5 years.

I'm at a loss to know what on earth the Pioneer Curriculum consisted of when it was two weeks long. My god! What on earth did they teach during those days?

Hi Steve2 ,

Here is an older thread that offers a prior edition of the pioneer book

Meh, ain't much training needed to sit 20 feet behind one of those apathy carts while sipping your Starbucks and surfing the net on your phone.

Ain't this the truth

Teenager Breaks free from JW cult . Canadians are leaving in droves.

Nice to see that young Canadians are also waking up. I am not sure whether they are leaving in droves though. For the most part, the kids are staying because unlike decades before, it's fun right now to be a jehovah's witness. There is a freedom that I don't remember 30 years ago. Kids are traveling more (under the guise of going where the need is great). They go to parties and take advantage of the world in ways that those of the past didin't.

But definitely encouraging to hear of young ones using their critical thinking skills and looking at watchtower squarely in the face and say "this is a cult".

I am proud of this young woman. I wish I would have figured it out at her age. I could have spared myself a wasted life.

think BOHM is onto something, although I would have phrased it like this:
Perhaps some kind of online "learning"?

I was thinking the same thing. With all the emphasis on videos, I wouldn't be surprised if the training will be something online.

I went to pioneer school in the very early eighties and didin't learn a whole lot. I remember feeling a little empty after it was all said and done. The only plus was that once I got back, the congregation treated me like a celebrity.

This is one the reasons why some pioneer, so that they can go to pioneer school. I hear this all the time.

If they do end up eliminating the school, I beleive there are going to be less pioneer enrollments.

It used to be 2 weeks in length , now it's down to one week. I would say there could be some truth to this rumor.
