Saw my parents yesterday, and I brought up the subject of the JW.ORG signs with my mother. Her response blew me away. "This is getting stupid".
What? Did I hear this correctly?
My mother's a die hard and will probably never leave, but she thinks the rebranding is a bad idea. She was even disgusted when I showed her the picture of the assembly hall.
I can't help but wonder how many other JWs feel this way.
Probably quite a few but they won't say so. It usually takes afew years for these things to sink in. Give your mum time and gentle encouragement and she may see that this is the tip of the iceberg.
Not my mom.
She thinks they're leaders of the pack in internet technology.

Nosferatu, glad to hear that about your mom. Her feeling that way seems to indicate to me that she's at least somewhat discerning, honest, real, etc.
I, too, wonder how many other JWs feel that way. Would love to know what they're really thinking. Their feelings might depend on how intelligent and/or tech-aware they are. I think my mom is like DesirousOfChange's mom; she's naive and thinks the org is blazing new trails in the name of Jah. She doesn't know how far behind they are.
I think that there are only a few JWs remaining who are intelligent and discerning and honest. I think they're the only ones who see something wrong. The rest will be excited about and love whatever the org does because they're naive and gullible.
Interesting, but the WTS doesn't give a flying fig what your mom thinks.
JW.org is an attempt to appeal to the under-30 demographic.
Of course, a boring & pedestrian website such as "Jw.org" doesn't hold much appeal to milennials, but in their typical clueless fashion, the WTS appear to be incapable of grasping that.
Some marketing agency made a Powerpoint pitch indicating that a web-site would improve their "brand recognition", "market share", "appeal to kids", etc. The WTS bought it, but doesn't really have much interesting content to fill it with.
They do have videos, which appeal to the very young, but what else? Simplistic pap written at a 4th grade level, offering homilies and platitudes.

They might just as well add a bit more advertizing
to the KH buildings .......they could sell the space,
and then send the money to the world wide work!!!
hahahahhhahahahahhahaa ...what a bunch of dorks!
clarity
The die-hard are loving it! JW.ORG is the solution to the JW's crying out...."Give us a King!!! Give us a King!!!"
