If the ultimate goal is to reach as many people as possible with the kingdom message, why does the society find it necessary to block any public access to the new dvd?
Could it be because the public will see how vacuous their teachings are? Producing this propaganda is a new low even for them. As soon as the content becomes public they seek to hide it from sight. How emabarrasing!

Good question. They claim copyright violation, but it makes one wonder how that reconciles with the conflicting claim of "spreading the Good News to the ends of the earth."
YouTube does a heck of a job of getting the message out there!
Well, it's better that people don't get life if they have to get it from copyright violation.... right?
My response from the thread above about the video:
Why isn't this video on Youtube? Why doesn't the Org put it on Youtube, on their OWN channel? Why was it taken down? What is the WTBTS so afraid of? I mean, this is supposed to be the fresh-from-the-oven "Spiritual Banquet", so why isn't this stuff right up online immediately for the world to see?
It's stuff like this, and the Public VS Study Editions of the magazines that make my brain scream "Cult." Even IF I were still "in" stuff like that would give me great pause for concern as to what it is that they are up to. In fact, the very idea that they are an "End Times" religion, and they are basically hoard their stuff so that only the members can see this, see that, and have to go door-to-door instead of putting it out on the internet and even their own satelitte network really tells me that the whole "End is Near" line is just a fear tactic and bullshit. They don't even believe themselves anymore, as the whole feel of the religion is now, "Buy and build more properties", and "Atlanta: Have the Time of Your Life!!!" To say this is not the religion of my youth is an understatement. Greedy, deceitful, bastards!
Cult Alert! Cult Alert!

I agree!
Shouldnt they be happy that the DVD is getting more publicity?
Unless of course they only want it for those already IN the fold??!!
in which case I wonder why they released the DVD at the conventions!
If it was meant to be "in house" information for individuals inside the congs only, then it should have been released during the circuit overseers visit to the congs...you know...on the quiet!
Inconsistent and weird!

That's right. Jehovah™ abides by the rules of Satan's ™ System of Things™. If a person learns The Truth™ through copyright infringement Jehovah™ doesn't want them. Them's the rules.
"go in through the narrow gate" "clearly" refers to copyright laws.
90% of the conventions stll have to take place so they wont have things already out there... it must be a suprise
All the talk about the JW love affair with technology.
I am just recovering from the 3 day weekend in fantasyland.
I loved the big screen. Gave us a chance to see the "frowning" up close.
I was mesmerised. I couldn't take my eyes off these speakers. There was a complete disconnect between their facial expressions and what they were trying to say.
The incessant jabbing of meaningless emphatic gestures. The absense of descriptive gestures. Give them W's on both.
It also looked like they attended seminars on finger "bullet points".
I filled my iphone with pictures of speakers going through their 5 points holding up the approprite fingers for each point.
I saw a lot of note takers so that must have made them happy. Each time the appropriate fingers went up there was a flurry of writing.
I loved the babies. I enjoyed looking at the cute teenage mothers who married the only oaf available in their northwoods congregation.
I tried to pick out the young people who were attending for their last time. Also saw a lot of old people that were attending for their last time.

which finger was scotoma holding up (or at least wanting to)?
Somebody please tell me what this new DVD about? I wanna be up-to-date with news. Give me a link please.
