It's funny how JWs try so hard to make sense of everything by looking at it from a "spiritual" perspective, but the history of the organization suddenly makes so much more sense when you look at it from a human perspective.

Researching published JW content is now hindered
by neat blue dog inthe recent topic by comingoutamycage about the amount of words published by jws decreasing reminded me:.
jws are now publishing more video content than printed content.
all the printed content up until now has either officially or unofficially been made available in digital format with the ability to search for keywords, which removed a layer of control and allows us to instantly find any references to, say, 1975 or "this generation".

Again, when a rise in C02 comes from so-called "natural" causes, (which it has, at far higher degrees throughout history), then somehow THAT'S okay? Life always finds a way, sub-species always come and go and adapt. Being anti-fossil-fuel is being anti-human, as it has a balance of being the most reliable, affordable, and yes, clean energy source. If you can't see the obvious financial and globalist motives (spending absurd amounts with lots of zeros on "green" jobs that somehow disappear along with the money, focusing on certain countries that don't make a relative dent in emissions while ignoring the majority of unstoppable emissions from certain others) as well as the blatant inconsistencies and contradictions in carrying these plans out (i.e. using gas to ship in gas instead of domestic production, using gas to generate electricity, producing relatively short-life-span batteries that have huge environmental impacts) then I don't know what to tell you.

I just want to correct myself: searching for "beard" DOES in fact bring up the aforementioned morning worship under videos, but the question remains about doing full uninhibited searches, or just keywords of THEIR choosing.

The recent topic by ComingOutaMyCage about the amount of words published by JWs decreasing reminded me:
JWs are now publishing more video content than printed content. All the printed content up until now has either officially or unofficially been made available in digital format with the ability to search for keywords, which removed a layer of control and allows us to instantly find any references to, say, 1975 or "this generation". But now with videos, it's a little harder to search for statements that didn't age well, unless it's something that's been widely publicized in the ex-JW community.
For instance, if I search for statements on beards, I'll get the most recent WT that said beards are acceptable in some cultures but even then some will refrain.....but I won't be directed to the morning worship video where Stephen Lett brings it up. Now that videos are the majority of publicly published content, there's far less ability to catalog and search for things..... Especially things that we may not think to look for at the time but become relevant later. And as we know, JWdotORG has already for some years been in the practice of deleting videos from the website, such as the one with Jared Kushner.
UNLESS the captions are archived. Many of the videos, not all but most I believe, have embedded subtitles that can be extracted to an SRT text file, which could theoretically be cataloged and searched. However this would be removed when re-rendered such as when uploading to YouTube. Has anyone undertaken such a thing?

Blues:
The fact you think the opposing argument to climate "consensus" is that climate change isn't happening shows that the misrepresentation is working. Almost no one thinks the climate doesn't change. It has from the beginning of time, and the amount of change now is so miniscule compared to historic changes that to attribute to CO2 (which is a RESULT of warmer temperature and not the cause of it, cart before the horse) is to not look at the whole of history.

PS - I guess quoting these "scientists" makes them look better, because climate prophecies usually fail every 10-20 years while JW prophecies usually take a little longer. In both cases however, new understandings are brought forth and records of the old ones are scrubbed where possible.

If you're going for an adjective, sure. I was using a verb. Six one way half a dozen the other.

It's such a joke to call one magazine about mental health The Watchtower, and one about the environment Awake!, I mean, where's the difference between the two magazines like there used to be? 😅 They're just logos being used on the covers right now, a pure toss-up. If they had any branding sense they would at least call ONLY the study edition The Watchtower, and call the public edition Awake!
