friends:.

simon's forum is much more than just a forum where we come to expose the watchtower.

it is a place that simon wanted people to be able to come to, to receive help, support, or find a compassionate listener.. this forum has exposed the watchtower more times than any forum on the net.

Thanks Atlantis for the kind reminder. Sometimes we do tend to forget of all the good people on this board and for Simon that has provided this venue.

I came here in 2002, I didn't post much but a read every many many posts and threads. It was a life saver for me at the very beginning of my journey out. I miss the old posters very much.

The Reasons for Cart Witnessing

by Simon in

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.

.....but not every member of a jw congregation can do cart work. The "privilege" is given to pioneers and a few select prominent ones in the congregations.

As Pheobe said " a lot of ordinary brothers and sisters are still going door to door".
