  i am currently having to spend a little time waiting for an appointment in the vicinity of a central london station.

  whilst waiting i am catching up on some work in a cafe.

  i can see a couple of trolleys and have been watching them for around an hour now.. not one person has stopped to take literature.

  The question these people should be asking is "What exactly have I done to help people today?". You can argue that the D2D work is actively seeking people to reach with a message. You can argue that approaching people in the street and engaging with them is actively seeking people to reach with a message.

  Standing next to a trolley not looking at people, not trying to initiate conversations and not engaging is not actively seeking people with a message. It's a waste of time masquerading as God's work.

  a few years ago i heard of a story about two jw's being at a green day concert.

  i think that the witnesses were bethelites.

  the person that told me that story said that the band was about to play but they couldn't.

  Apparently so. I've been working here almost three hours and there has been literally ZERO interest. The only conversations have been lost tourists.

  It's worse than the doors but what an easy way for pioneers to get their hours.

  Made up.

  Just like the same made up stories about John Denver.

  Indeed. This is would be my contribution to such a gallery. It does show the elder doing something, actually helping someone in need. Even if it's only a lost tourist....

  Now the overseeing elder has come along and is taking pictures of the inactivity for posterity...

  Not one person has stopped to take literature. They have had a couple of lost tourists and a couple who were obviously Witnesses come and say hello. The only other attention they have had is some stares in the direction of one of the sisters from passing white van men. There are literally hundreds of people walking past every 10-15 mins. There is zero effort to engage with the public - not even making eye contact and smiling.

  I appreciate this is not exactly breaking news but it is yet further confirmation that the new approach is just as much of a waste of time as the traditional D2D work.

  Forgot to say as well that the Kings from Portsmouth were there. They have brought their son back from Spain and are back living in the UK.
