  HA the good life --Cart witnessing

  by wannaexit in

  on my way home from work today, i saw the modern day pioneers having a grand old time, relaxing in the sun.

  two sprawled on one bench and the other two talking up a storm, with their iced cappuccino, just enjoying the day.

  the two carts were a number of feet away.

  I remember when only two JWs could go to a door or attend a Bible study at a time and count their time. For the six months I attempted to regular pioneer, I remember how stressful it was to get my 90 hours in. Sometimes not finding anyone to accompany me in the afternoons, and knocking on not-at-homes by myself.

  It is all busy work and perhaps making inactive or DFed who are mentally in feel guilty.

  Isn't the point of "door to door" vs television and radio because how "effective" talking with people one-on-one is? Cart witnessing is about not talking to people at all. I've observed carts...and the only people who notice them at all is JWs and exJWs.

  I think they will rebound somewhat in 2017 thanks to the Russian ban.

  what is it with this pair?

  why do they have to constantly have a bitch about guys like john cedars?

  a very recent video of them shows them calling him a 'village idiot' and making other disparaging claims.

  I'm no fan of the man, but that pretty much summarizes my thoughts on the matter of the Russian ban. Of course, what some are getting offended at seems to be tongue in cheek. But then, we all probably need some sort of professional help after decades in a cult.

  Major changes to convention security beginning in 2017

  by Edison Trent in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  short info on interesting changes to the major conventions this year: there will be a new security concept that will be implemented at all regional conventions in 2017.. similar to other major events (e.g.

  festivals, concerts), there will be admittance controls in stadiums.. - at each entrance, there will be a massive presence of attendants that look at each visitor.. - there will be pocket checks at the entrance.. - suspicious persons are no longer left on the convention grounds.. - suppliers to the stadium will be intensively inspected by attendants.. - there will be a special sign for attendants that must enter the stadium before 7.30 am.

  all others (even all attendants) can only enter after 7.30 am..

  They may have all sorts of security checks and scrutinize people walking through the door, but one thing is for sure, I haven't attended a convention since around 2008 and don't plan on it ever again.

  He discerned that Christ would return invisibly and that “the appointed times of the nations” would end in 1914

  Very misleading. Russell believed Christ had returned invisibly in 1874. Of course, he didn't come up with this...he got this, along with 1914, from Nelson Barbour.
