On Friday, I walked to my doctor's to pick up a couple of prescriptions*. From there I walked in to town to the chemist's (pharmacy) to get the scripts filled. It's Winter here, and my town can get get colder than is average for my state**. On Friday there was quite a disagreeable wind in my face for much of my walk. Occasionally in town, you'll see some JWs manning*** a trolley/cart. Being such filthy weather, I didn't expect to see them on that day. Imagine my surprise when I saw not one, but two, trolleys/carts. And both trolleys/carts were manned by not two, but three, blokes each. No suits and ties, that I could see (they were really rugged up against the weather). I didn't bother trying to chat with either group**** It was too damned cold, and I needed my prescriptions filled.
Is there any known reason for such an increased JW trolley/cart presence in my small rural city? No special campaign that anyone knows of?
* It could have all been done electronically, but I like the paper scripts; I'm old fashioned like that ๐ธ๐
** For some context, the possibility of snow is being forecast for later today. It was actually less pleasant weather โ๏ธ ๐ก๏ธ on Friday than today
*** Even the women, sometimes. Would it be "staffing", in that case? ๐
**** It's hard enough with two, let alone three of 'em ganging up on little old lonesome me! Besides, I've never tried engaging with the trolley ministry, due to assertions on here that they will say "We're not here for a debate" and tell you to rack off.
