so, one of the kids on reddit posted this video - an evangelist trying to witness to guardians of the cart.
(both sides are fairly respectful imo).

Jehovah's WItnesses do not know the Bible. Their role is to recruit people into the Borg.
They are not interested in talking to people about the Bible. They want to talk to people who know nothing about the Bible so they can convince these people that Botchtower's interpretation of the Bible is the one True message and that they are the one True religion speaking for the one True God.
this photo can be found in the april 15 , study edition article titled:.
why disfellowshipping is a loving provision.
just by looking at this image we can see how quickly the barrier between the congregation and former member is put up, after the announcement that this sister is no longer one of jehovah's witneses.
Botchtower... they shoot their wounded.
it seems like every time our circuit failed to meet the field service goals set by our co, the very next circuit assembly would invariably include a talk that mentions a chronically ill paraplegic sister who would dial the phone with her tongue to make return visits or conduct bible studies... i must have heard this experience at least 6 or 7 times in the past 20 years or so.
and every time i heard this recycled talk, they would add even more guilt-inducing twists to it.
to me, it eventually became way to difficult to believe...
Is this Andre's sister by any chance?
well, i guess some one has to do some thing since jehovah hates babies.. .

Rhesus Disease, among many others, is evidence that an Intelligent Creator/Designer is a crock.
Millions of people in Australia call James Harrison a hero. Jehovah's Witnesses think he makes Jehovah sad.
How can anyone accept a symbol of life being more important than life itself? Oh right, that's Jehovah's Witnesses.
What an awesome man James Harrison is. Thank Goodness James is NOT a JW!
in a few words, how would you describe what 'kingdom interests' really means?.
i think it means watchtower corporation's assets, posessions and rules..
talked with a pioneer recently, she was recounting her first experience with cart witnessing.. she brought the subject up, was going on & on & on & on about how wonderful the experience was, and how great, and how she enjoyed it so much, and it was so wonderful, and oh jehovah's blessing, and on and on and on...... a few questions to her revealed what really happened:.
-- a jw who owns a small restaurant in a strip mall allows jws to set up their cart outside his restaurant.
-- the restaurant is tucked pretty far out of the way, not prominent at all.
Wasn't it you punky who aptly named these "The Apathy Trolley/Cart"?
dear mr. morris,.
i am writing this letter to request that you have an immediate meeting with jehovah regarding the tight pants, spanx (i think you mean spandex) issues.
it it clear from your pants rant that jehovah has focused his attention away from the billions of people currently suffering on the planet to address this specific issue.. today i observed a group of witnesses in my neighborhood.
I have black socks with coloured toes and heels. Are these also forbodden? I need to know pronto!
im not sure if bruce had a sex operation but lets say someone did have a sex operation and then studied with the witnesses and wanted to get baptized, would he qualify in todays jw world?
could he have privileges?
the bible says the past cant be held against you, once you accept the truth.
And once again, this kind of thing just confirms what I knew as a teenager.
Botchtower claims everyone has a chance to become a Jehovah's Witness.
This is 100% bull crap!
i am on here as another member, but even with a username and not revealing my identity, i am still too embarrassed to use it.
had to make up a new one.
that being said.... my boyfriend is watching pornography, and it seriously hurts my feelings.
embarrassed, you are being abused. It's not going to get better. You need to move on in life without this loser.
How do I know?
I was once in a similar situation to yours only I was married. Once I realized nothing was getting better and it never will (because a leopard cannot change its spots), I, once again, put a plan together to leave.... just like I did when I left home as a teenager/young adult to go to school and get away from my parent's abusive cult.
this is from the last talk of the convention ......... clip 1:30 minutes longhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrej8tlyiso&feature=youtu.be.
I am certain Botchtower knows that born-in children are one of their key areas of bleeding when it comes to loss of membership. This is why he's focusing on this.
Several years ago, my Dad told me that "the young ones are leaving in droves".
It does not surprise me that they are trying to force kids to get baptized.
