I for one haven't watched any of it and neither do I intend to.
I haven't seen any external adverts for the channel either. (You know, those annoying ads just before your youtube vid starts as an example).

I wonder what the typical, average modern contemporary Christian would say about it?
"When are they going to mention Jesus? Are these really Christians?""There's no talk about Jesus. All they talk about is themselves."

A letter about tv.jw.org was read in our congo (well, I read it). Obligatory clapping. After the meeting NOTHING. Not one word from anybody, and I was like the last ones to leave.
My elder dad's first reaction was: "So, we have our own teleevangelists now, then?". We are in europe, and people here see TV preachers as something of an example of American commercialization of religion. I thing most dubs are very embarrassed about JWtv, as they should be!
My super pioneer wife has not even once opened JWtv. But, we have watched every episode of The Walking Dead, and she is asking every week when Game of Thrones is starting again :) Maybe GB should learn something from this, how to make interesting TV!

The Walking Dead....TV.JW. There is some sort of irony here.

Your wife is not a "super pioneer" if she is watching Game of thrones. If the elders found out she would be deleted for sure. This is not a bad thing.

That's a very interesting comment. I never imagined that it would be seen in that kind of negative light. Of course, as an American, I'm probably guilty of thinking everyone in the world thinks like I do. [slight sarcasm -- in reality don't many people tend to think that everyone shares their attitude?]
I'd be interested if there is that kind of concensus there. I really haven't heard anything "negative" about it, just haven't heard much about it. Period. Meaning, no excitement about it either. Frankly, after viewing a few of the video presentations, I am impressed with JW TV. It is much much better than my expectations. I think it's evident that they have some real professionals involved [I'm not implying that the title "professional" applies to Steven Lett].

It was the same when we were admonished many years ago to do telephone evangalising in the UK.........it just didn't sit well with our culture & never really took off.

@BU2B: I know! There is still hope for my wife! She is seen by the congregation as a super pioneer though, and it is because she is actually very good at it, and it is something she really loves, unfortunately. But sometimes she IS able to think on her own - even critically about the WT - but then she usually relapses back into increased activity, study etc. She's not there yet, but maybe someday she will be. I won't rat her out to elders about GoT though :)
@DOC: Maybe it's bit too early to say what the general consensus will be, it was just announced and it's all in english, probably many haven't watched it yet. You are right, it's pretty well done now that I watched it a bit. But I still think watching Lett and his gold rings will make european witnesses cringe, at least subconcisously. But JWs won't say anything negative about "Dubflix" publicly of course.
