The long time JWs I know (the few I've spoken with anyway) are starting to get a weird vibe about it all. They were all gungho initially. But they've started making jokes now and being very sarcastic about it all.
This tv channel seems to have pushed them over the edge. Will have to see how it all settles in a while.
But yes, the newbies are really gushing about it all. They don't remember WT's harsh judgements against the internet and televanglism years ago.
