from last weeks meeting.
"we are now going to talk about experiences from trolley witnesssing" .
this is the honest to god response.
Had twenty minutes to kill at Victoria Station in London today. Got some lunch and went cart dub watching. In that time I saw countless people walk past the cart and two sisters holding stuff out without even glancing in their direction. One young lad took a magazine from the outstretched hand of a sister but was preparing to throw it away with just a few steps. No more than 4 or 5 people even made eye contact.
I was standing by a pile of Evening Standards and loads of those were picked up.....
any ideas what this is about?
- apparently a three hour public address through each kingdumb hell from the gb.
anyone heard anything about this?.
Thanks for that. Firstly, nice work if you can get it and secondly, I wonder if this is permissable under the terms of their registration as a UK charity. Presumably the CO is funded via contributaions made in the UK and intended for the 'public benefit' in the UK.
Hmmm, quick query to the Charity Commission I think . . . .
I don't know all the rules but I can't see that one having any traction. There are loads of UK charities that do work in the UK and abroad - Children in Need, Oxfam etc. spring to mind.
There is oodles of WT cash flowing out of the UK to other branches all around the world. Not only that but it is completely within a charity's remit to send officials abroad for all sorts of reasons.
i don't know where to start.
i got married a year and half ago.
some months into the marriage things where discovered.
Playground, sorry to hear of your distress. Whereabouts in the world are you located? I don't mean specific towns, just which country? If you are able to say then I am sure someone on here will know of some good agencies that can help.

Konceptual, I'm not calling you out at all but do you have any more information on this?
Thanks
NP - I have friends in the Hastings area and the circuit there is smaller than others as the CO goes off to the middle east to do their CO visits. I could find out the name of the last CO there but it's all due for the three year change this September.
There are other COs responsible for foreign language circuits. I know Peter Morgan did this recently.

The UK looks after areas like UAE and Pakistan.
There is a CO assigned to the Hastings area of East Sussex that also jets off to Dubai to do their visits.
the "boasting session" last night included forcing the congregation to watch that stupid witnessing cart video.
then the brother handling the part discusses what a "powerful witness" is being given each time those carts roll out into public view.. experiences: had a nice conversation with a young man.
a woman took a tract.
The title of this thread reminds me of the guy who goes to the doctors and says "doctor, doctor, I've got a steering wheel stuck to my privates" and the doctor says "well that looks painful" to which the guy replies, "damn right, it's driving me nuts".

One of the points to come out of the UK branch visit today was that in the latest YB there is a picture of Sam Herd doing the carts. He is showing a person a video on dub.dork. It was stressed by the speaker that this is how the GB want the work done - i.e. leave the literature on the cart until it is clear that a person is interested. So engage with them first and qualify the giveaway.
So they are looking to give less and less away whilst uping the number of hours that publishers do since they can be on the carts for ages.

OK - it was basically the following:
1 - don't worry about the upcoming persecution we are likely to get. God is with us. Whatever the courts or media throw at us don't forget Jehovah approves us.
2 - Chelmsford (the new British Branch HQ) is pushing forward and they got planning approval yesterday. A coincidence put down to Jehovah's blessing
3 - around 225k at in the UK at the memorial this year
4 - don't lose your joy. How? Go to the meetings, do more in the service, pray, don't worry about what you can't change and count your blessings.
The end.
NB - I use "us" in the broad sense
Oh, and Jehovah can measure the universe in the span of his hand. I guess his hand must be getting bigger.
what percentage would you say of all jehovah's witnesses really 100 percent follow the shunning decree to the letter just answer with a percent thank you
Depends. If it's a close family member - 10%. If it's some body you never liked anyway - 100%
Seriously, I think for anyone outside of a family relationship with the DF'ed person it's going to be up around 80%
