  Observations from an Ex-Elder Part 2 - Cart Work

  by doubtfull1799 in

  up until i left recently i was participating in the cart work.

  in the location where we used to set up near our local mall we never had one person stop and take literature or stop and chat - other than fellow brothers.

  i thought maybe it was just a bad location or something.

  Cart witnessing and letter writing have become the new thing for pioneering. Both are a waste of time and zero production. With a zero percent growth in the United States this year I don't get how publishers still think angels guide this waste of time work.

  6 New Kingdom Halls Built In The US This Year

  on our local needs part tonight, the elder (on the local ldc), conducting the part, said he just got back from a meeting in memphis tn with members from the us branch rdc conducting the meeting.

  they mentioned that only 6 new kingdom halls and 2 major re-models were completed in 2016.

  "it may seem like a small accomplishment, considering under the old rbc arrangement there was some 700 projects on the average each year being done", "but, this is going 5-10 years of training to kick this new program into optima production".

  Does it not dawn on the cart witnesses?

  i sat in town recently, right in the window of a nice wee pub.

  within minutes i realised that i had a perfect view of a jw cart and the two ridiculously dressed jw's (they have absolutely no individuality at all.

  what's more, they all look like they're going to a funeral).

  Yes is one of the biggest time wasters. I have seen even KH having a table or cart outside. No one ever comes up gets magazine. I have an experienced of a guy who got a magazine in one the carts or tables. The publishers filled out a return visit form for got the actual name of it. My friend asked me to go with him to visit this man. When we got to the door and identify who we where he said " I was just trying to be nice I didn't think you would actually visit me". I wanted to laugh and told my partner we should send this experience to the branch.

  Yes some think angels are directing this work. But I think Angels rather kill people one angel killed over 185,000 Assyrians in one night. Last year baptizim was just over 165,000 in one whole year. Angels love killing people not saving.

  let's set aside our differences for the moment and appreciate this excellent documentary cedars put together that should prove to be an invaluable tool in helping to expose the child abuse issues in the organization.. i was humbled to be able to help with this project on such an important subject, though my part in it was insignificant..

  I'm surprised you are still alive I remember hearing an experience from a talk that a teenager was running inside a gym and he challenged satan and he died.
