Seems like it was a blockbuster for A&E....

Leah Remini Scientology Doc Premiere Draws 2.1 Million Viewers for A&E

“Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath” had a gangbusters premiere for A&E Tuesday night. The 10 p.m. airing drew 2.1 million viewers in total for the network — the best premiere since “Big Smo” in 2014. More than half those viewers, 1.1 million, were in A&E’s target demographic of 25-54, and the show brought in a healthy number of viewers in the 18-49 demographic (913,000, or around a 0.7 rating).

Australian Jehovah's Witnesses are ignorant of the Australian Royal Commission

by stuckinarut2 in

many here have asked how the average witness in australia is taking the news of the arc findings and conclusions.. is it affecting them?.

sorry to say, hardly any are even aware of the facts.

those that are, have been convinced that all the publicity is "apostate lies and satanic propaganda".

i have a question about the letters the watchtower would send to the congregations about 20 to 30 years ago.. on the top of the letter it would say watchtower then the address in brooklyn and phone number, and the word cable watchtower.

my question is what does cable mean?

.

darkspilver

'Cable' describes a means of electronic telegraph communiction which was, in general terms, superseded firstly by the Fax machine and then by Email.

In recent years the term has gained prominence once again thanks to USA diplomatic cables leak - the confidential electronic cable communications between the US embassies.

Why?

Warwick and transport to meetings

by berrygerry in

i would imagine that most brooklyn bethelites attended congo meetings via subway.. how do they manage transport from warwick?.

darkspilver

Haha - so you're presuming that the Bethelites at Warwick are actually being let out of the compound???

The Long Meadow Congregation (English)
1 Kings Drive, Tuxedo Park NY 10987-5500
Thursday at 7.00pm and Sunday at 10.00am

Otherwise there are about a dozen or so congregations within an approximate 15 mile radius - either car-share or maybe even Bethel minibus. I think it would be expected that the local congregations with Bethelites would contribute towards their travel costs from congregation funds.

But, yeah, moving out of the big city - Brooklyn (and in deed Mill Hill) - is probably not so cool for most Bethelites, congregation-wise.

Hi jwleaks!

smiddy: How many Australian Newspapers have reported this report by the ARC ? about the Jehovahs Witness religion ?
It has not been reported as far as I know by the Herald Sun a victorian newspaper
Here you go smiddy
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/breaking-news/children-not-protected-by-jehovahs-rc/news-story/5e84e2d542419856e8e2cf3c6a2843a0

It has NOT been reported in the Herald Sun print edition, either yesterday, Tuesday 29 November 2016 (front page headline - War of Roses - Reservoir Tragedy), or today Wednesday 30 November 2016 (front page headline - Dad Left to Die - Asthma Storm Crisis)

Interestingly, in today's paper (Wed 30 Nov 2016) there is a small item at the top right hand side of page 19 headlined "Sex abuse hits soccer" regarding the on-going historical child sex abuse investigation in UK's youth soccer

Review from The Hollywood Reporter

Interesting, but unlikely to generate a following

I was being steadily distracted by what I can only assume was a behind-the-scenes clearance process of epic proportions. On the screener I watched, each programming segment was preceded by a title card reading "The Church disputes many of the statements made by those appearing in this program," directing viewers to additional information on the A&E website, while several segments were also preceded by specific denials from the Church of Scientology, text from official letters sent as recently as early November. Back when things were shot on film, a movie delivered straight from the developer to the projection booth was described as being wet, and were that idiom still relevant, it would surely apply to Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, which is engrossing, but probably not as captivating as what's taking place to get the show to air.
The "Coming up this season ..." reel features Remini saying, "We're hearing the same story over and over again," and that's honestly my fear when it comes to eight episodes of Scientology and the Aftermath.

Hi Lynnie!

Just curious on what big differences there are between the two compounds?

According to:

https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/offices/united-states/

Patterson: Creates artwork for our publications as well as audio and video recordings. Tour highlights Bible schools that are taught here.

Wallkill: Prints over 25 million pieces of Bible literature annually. Ships literature in more than 360 languages to branches worldwide as well as to more than 15,000 congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean.

Warwick : Three Self-Guided Exhibits: The Bible and the Divine Name; A People for Jehovah’s Name; and World Headquarters—Faith in Action. A 20-minute Guided tour highlights sections of the Offices/Services Building and the Warwick grounds.

Although it hasn't been updated, yet, the following tour brochure explains a bit more, including some of the history of Patterson and Walkill:
