Hi y'all,
It is all about keeping up with this tech age, and also modern business practices.
This new toy will be exciting for some and for others, myself one, just one more nuisance to deal with in our ever evolving JW world.

when i meet up with a jay dubya i've never met before and the conversation inevitably turns to "so where did you learn the truth?
i reply" my parents joined the jehovahs witness religion in 1982".
some of the looks i get are priceless .
I like to use "the organization" or "the society"; this fits the group better, in my view of course.

there's an interest point raised by stephen letts at around the 7 minute mark of the intro video;.
much of the equipment used to build the studio was made available by donation.
he twice mentions (once at the start of the video) the need for "support", which we can assume means donations.
It is a very good business desicion. All important entities have online channel. Nothing new.
I plan not to watch. However, my guess is that the GB will find a way to have us all tune in. Crafty bunch they are!

This is why is not such a good idea to take it all so seriously. My personal stance towards JWs is validated more and more with each passing day!
It's a great social network, a business, just one more religion. Whatever!
Unless it gets done within the frame of a social gathering, I will never waste time watching. I am sure the more orthodox JWs in my family will bring it up, then I will pretend it is awesome of course.
I am sure they caught on to the high amount of cash tv evangelists rake in, and do not want to be missing out on it.

been lurking here for yyyyyeeeeears, but was too busy with school, jw life and other interests.
now that i'm done with education for the time being anyway, plus the jw life is under pretty good control, i can spend some time and throw my views here and there in some attractive topics.. born-in, and deeply indoctrinated, but with life experience came better comprehension of my lot in life and have come to accept that, just like the family one is born into, jws are my family, friends, my ultimate and overall identity.
a jw is what i am; like the song 'hotel california', and like so many on this board, check out anytime you'd like but one could never leave.. remember like it was yesterday the failed 'the wolf is coming' calls of 1975, mid-80s, late 90's, y2k, 2004 or so, and same will be with the latest effort to get people overly excited about 'the end'.
Hi,
I can only speak from experience. It's quite easy for me as I'm a 4th born-in, well educated, immediate as well as extended family being very studious individuals, therefore, we have quite the range of your JW type in our family: From the hardline 'orthodox JW' to the 'extremely relaxed JW'. I'm somewhere in the middle of the two extremes.
It's very clear in my mind that this is just a religion, ever changing, with plenty of flaws due to our imperfection. I treat it the same as if in a food buffet, plenty of stuff I like and really enjoy, some few things and individuals I couldn't care any less about.
Life goes on and, as a relaxed JW, mine is a very good one thus far. If there's a Supreme being that really cares about insignificant me, which I seriously doubt, and rules that the way I lead my life is no good, then, whatever. Good thing that our belief goes that it'll be just 'lights out' for punishment and not really a hell to pay.
Ever since the 1975 fiasco, I've never really paid much attention to the 'end is near' crap. I shall continue on living my life as I see fit and let the cards fall where they may.

We have in the cong a few nut jobs that have fear of going out in public, socializing with anyone out of their immediate family circle, etc., so they say, and report healthy monthly hours; they're on Facebook and other social networks and claim that they preach online. Nobody challenges their account because they're "fragile mentally".
Whatever!

i am not sure how you all feel as we all left at different times for different reasons.... but this new bible seems to have put some final nails into a coffin that was once my jw life.
the religion is so far and so different to the religion i grew up in that it has become something i feel no affiliation with anymore, no bond, no shared ideas or even sentimental views.
different teachings on when the end is coming.
The JW faith is evolving at such rapid pace that it's become quite the task just trying to keep up.
I, and other kindred spirits inside, find it fascinating watching the speedy evolution. Hang on!
