Uh!oh! Serena - where to now?
by fulltimestudent inappearing among other things that waste my time on the web today, was this vanity fair cover featuring a naked pregnant serena.
surely evidence that she no longer sees herself as even a jw associate, what's more likely does not give a stuff what her fomer loving brothers and sisters may think.. .
more info on the vf web-site: http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/06/serena-williams-cover-story.

This is Annie Leibovitz's cover photo from August 1991 of Demi Moore
Also - is Serena wearing a flesh coloured g-string in her photograph?...

Not sure why someone down voted my post above
In terms of the OP's thread title - Wow i do not reconize this religion anymore - the WT's website, over the last 20 years, is an example of that very principle in action.
Twenty years ago the WT was very specific in the 1997 KM I quoted
The purpose of our Web site is not to release new publications
And today?
ALL new releases are released via the website first
Actually I don't think they're even producing physical DVDs anymore - so those are ONLY being released via website/app
Edited:
Yeah, down vote if you want, but here's the letter from last year:

Kingdom Ministry November 1997
Good News on the Internet
In our technological age, some people obtain information from electronic sources, including the Internet. So the Society has put on the Internet some accurate information about the beliefs and activities of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Our Internet Web site has the address http://www.watchtower.org and contains a selection of tracts, brochures, and Watchtower and Awake! articles in English, Chinese (Simplified), German, Russian, and Spanish, as well as in other languages. The publications on this Web site are already available through the congregations and are in use in the ministry. The purpose of our Web site is, not to release new publications, but to make information available to the public in electronic format. There is no need for any individual to prepare Internet pages about Jehovah’s Witnesses, our activities, or our beliefs. Our official site presents accurate information for any who want it.
Although our site has no provision for electronic messages (E-mail), it lists postal addresses of branches around the globe. Thus people can write to obtain more information or to receive personal assistance from Witnesses locally. Feel free to share the above Internet address with any who might be inclined to begin learning Bible truth from this format. -

Maybe it's an age thing?
I live in an instagram / flickr / twitter / snapchat / pinterest / facebook / smart phone camera world.
Millions upon millions of photos are uploaded and shared - everyday.
Edited:
Actually, scrub 'everyday' - apparently it's every minute
More than 3.5 million photos will shared every minute in 2016, according to the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) practice at Deloitte

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

For Minimus, and other old timers who remember H2O and the early days of exJW discussion boards
by Broken Promises ini'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 was discussed here back when the Watchtower 15 May 2015 was released
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/105160002/who-gog-magog-watchtower-may-2015
https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20150515/gog-of-magog/
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.
