here's a link to the english version of the quebec documentary, the kingdom's dirty secrets that aired in canada at the beginning of december.
i was told that it's okay to share the documentary and post on social media.

pity they've decided to go with subtitles in CAPITALS on this new version, though the voice over is in English and original English interviews have been kept
But, it's just a rehash of this? yes?
"a christian denomination is a generic term for a distinct religious body identified by traits such as a common name, structure, leadership and doctrine.
individual bodies, however, may use alternative terms to describe themselves, such as church or fellowship.
" (wikipedia) .
Hi sir82!
There was a "Questions From Readers" in the late 40's or early 50's, something about whether JWs are to be considered a "religion".
Is it these two Questions from Readers from 1951?
"In the past we regarded 'religion' as anything that was against God’s will. Now many brothers are using the expressions 'true religion' and 'false religion' to make a distinction. Is this advisable?"
Which was followed five months later by:
"Why has the Watchtower Society suddenly approved the use of the word 'religion' relative to the worship of Jehovah’s witnesses?"
"a christian denomination is a generic term for a distinct religious body identified by traits such as a common name, structure, leadership and doctrine.
individual bodies, however, may use alternative terms to describe themselves, such as church or fellowship.
" (wikipedia) .
In other words, when J.W.'s are asked what their religion is, they should reply "Christian," not J.W.
Yes, on a form like a census or such like that asks for 'Religion', a JW would simply say 'Christian'. Same as a Catholic, Episcopalian or Baptist etc would put.
I would say that the next-step down descriptively for a JW would be? to say non-trinitarian Christian?
How about non-trinitarian low-church Christian?
That could be expanded to evangelical non-trinitarian low-church Christian?
Or even evangelical fundamental non-trinitarian low-church Christian?
avast unveils top ten apps draining your android phone.
jehovah’s witness: this official app produced by jehovah’s witnesses was the heaviest user of smartphone storage.
it allows users to download their bible (in all languages) and browse a library of video tutorials and introductions in high-resolution.
weird? 2gb for the bible? ha! sounds from the description they're counting downloading the bible in ALL the languages as they're about 5 to 20mb each - does anyone do that IRL? hmmm yeah, maybe....
Besides I suspect people are more concerned with good ol' battery life - ie how battery the app takes to run when being used.
i was so impressed by what the brazilian xjw's are doing to inform the world about jw's unfair and harmful sanctions put upon those who leave the religion that i just had to share their efforts with you.
congratulations are in order for a work well done.

jediism not a religion, charity commission rules.
The number of Jedi Knights in the England and Wales has plummeted in recent years:
2001: 390,127 Jedi Knights
2011: 176,632 Jedi Knights
So that's something like a 55% decrease?

Hey AndersonsInfo!
I was so impressed by what the Brazilian XJW's are doing
Yeah, but, of course, the real question is....
Are those Brazilian ex-JWs following the example of Jesus and becoming carpenters???
Inquiring minds want to know!
Yeah, seems so - after all their banners and posters are advertising their website!
