Can't see much wrong with getting pictures taken with people. They look fairly normal.
Maybe that's the point of the OP/Post Title
isnt nice to see the governing body being so humble, meek and not seeking their own importance?.

i'm having a debate with someone on facebook who claims he came up with the term "borg" in reference to the wts back in the mid 2000s.
however i'm certain the term was used on h2o as early as 1999 as well as here when this site was first set up.. can anyone confirm that i'm not dreaming?
what's the earliest you remember seeing the term being used?.
FWIW this appears to be dated from 16 years ago....
the searcher started a topic addressing the gt, a comment from sparrowdown asked an interesting question -.
"...the political powers of satan's world will form a coalition..."that's the statement that interests me.
what are they alluding to?.
FWIW this was discussed here back when the Watchtower 15 May 2015 was released

Back then this thread's OP summarised the WT's updated doctine as:
Listener - 2 years ago
In a nutshell they are now saying that
(Ezekial) Gog of Magog refers to a coalition of nations and will be destroyed at Armageddon
(Revelation) Gog and Magog those who rebel against Jehovah and will be destroyed at the end of the 1,000 year reign.

anybody into art out there?
i was just so blown away by this piece i had to share.. .
at first i was just like "oh, that's a clever idea".
It must be the same artist.
Haha, no - that's a Rene Magritte
Edited to add:
It's displayed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art

the results of the last australian census are trickling out, and the results offer an insight into the changing concepts of contemporary aussies.. in 1966 only 0.8 % marked 'no religion' on their census form.. in 2001 those marking 'no religion" had grown to 16%.. and in 2016 those marking 'no religion" had grown to 29.6%.. so more non-believers than any other group.
catholics (the previous largest group) were now only 22.5% of australians.. ________________________.
the other interesting change is language,.
In 2001 those marking 'No Religion" had grown to 16%.And in 2016 those marking 'No Religion" had grown to 29.6%.
Interesting - for some context:
I understand that in 2016 in the above Australian results, 9.6% did not answer the question / left it blank
The results for the England/Wales census was:
Between 2001 and 2011 there has been a decrease in people who identify as Christian (from 71.7 per cent to 59.3 per cent) and an increase in those reporting no religion (from 14.8 per cent to 25.1 per cent)... with 7.2 per cent not answering the question in 2011.
Therefore, six years after the last England/Wales census, it looks like figures for both match up?

Interesting, but must say though, a bit too 'commerical arty' for me (not that there's anything wrong with that, of course!)

What is going on with the duplication of topics? I haven't touched the keyboard today - until now!!!!!!
Don't worry, the forum is queuing all your topic posts and slowing posting them public one-by-one
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4845739997921280/reminder-about-how-posting-limits-work
Our limits are flexible and a bit elastic and when they do kick in they don't stop you posting, they just start to delay posts appearing - initially for short periods and longer, the more the limits are exceeded. If you have submitted a post and it doesn't immediately appear then if you wait, it will. It get's queued. The queue also helps to smooth out the system load so if a lot of people are posting at once then the queue may backup a little even though you haven't hit a posting limit (it also prevents anything being lost if I'm deploying a new version of the app / instances are restarting etc...)
But ...
If you don't wait then things go wrong. If you submit the same topic or post over and over in an attempt to make it appear then what actually happens is that you end up triggering the limits as well as posting duplicates and as a result the system delays your posts for increasingly longer periods. Even if I subsequently delete the duplicates, those still count towards your limits.
If you have posted something then please just be patient, there is no need to re-submit it and doing so will likely just delay it's appearance even further.
Sometimes things are weird -
I currently have a browser 'tab/window' open with a post I'm trying to post that has spent the last five minutes on the first 'Uploading Post' sequence.
BUT, actually, when I checked with an other browser tab/window open - the post has actually be submitted and has been made public - yet the original tab/window is still stuck on the 'uploading post'.

Simon has some good forum software running - generally, if you press 'submit' on a post - it'll get posted (and not 'lost'), just maybe not posted public straight away.....
had the misfortune of stopping by the "regional" convention yesterday.
i promised my daughter i would come to sunday afternoon so she wouldnt have to ride home with her mother.... holy crap it was weird!
im sure all of this has been covered on the forum but to actually see it.... just wow.
Just getting city approval for filming location usually does not have that caveat attached to it.
Yes, it does.
As per my earlier link - http://www.cityofwhiteplains.com/index.aspx?NID=599 - which includes the filming permit application form as a PDF
City of White Plains FILMING PERMIT APPLICATION
FILM PERMIT PROVISIONS
The City of White Plains shall be acknowledged in the film credits for any film produced on public land or private land in the City of White Plains.

To credit "the City of White Plains" is specific - it credits the city, not the kingdom hall property.
Yes, they filmed on the public highway.
This would have needed to have been consented to.

BTW Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep have been in White Plains filming just this month.
A lot of films have location credits at the end - but most people don't stay in the movie house long enough to read all the credits.....
