They are finding that main-stream religion became that way for a reason, and realise that they have to copy them to survive.

How to tell how effective JW.TV will be
by bohm inhere is a simple and obvious way to tell how effective jw.tv is going to be:.
in the past, how effective has religious tv been for you?
has watching religious tv made by moonies, evangelists, mormons or scientologists made you seriously reflect on spirituality?

What I found interesting was the song that was played towards the end. Not sure what you would call it - Christian folk rock maybe. I don't think they expect outsiders to view it, but rather they are trying to make the youth find some sort of excitement in the religion.

Has anyone else heard this about the GB??
by FeelingFree inok so me and my husband were talking to his mum again about why we are no longer going to meetings and got into another pointless discussion where she feels he needs to talk to an elder about his issue's blah, blah, blah... round and round it went...... the thing i wanted to ask was if anybody had heard that there wont be any gb after these one's die??
this is something she mentioned today and we have never heard of this ever.
so it means no more will be appointed and they will just die off!

It sounds like a rumour. JWs want to believe that, as it indicates the end must be very near.

A Nice Story.
by Wrath of Jehu infriends.. i'm sure you will all be encouraged by this nice story related to me by a brother in my old congregation.
4 year old "jana" (not her real name), is from a witness family in a middle sized city.
she has faced many challenges in her pre-school class.

How is denying a child the joy of birthdays, when there is no logical Scriptural reason not to celebrate ones birth, a nice experience?

8TH KING RISING
by CharlieSmith1975 inper jws the un is the scarlet-colored wild beast that becomes the 8th king just before armageddon.
it is interesting to see how the un is becoming more and more an authority in the world with obama clearly the leader and supporter of globalism.
plus obama is always saying "peace and security.

In another 500 years there will still be superstitious people making these doomsday predictions. It is a sad part of human nature to think/hope some sort of doomsday will occur magically in their own lifetime.

Don't say "the truth", say the Jehovah's Witness religion
by hoser inwhen 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".

I refer to it as "the religion," "the Watchtower religion" or "the Jehovah's Witness religion." Religion is exactly what it is, yet it really iritates JWs.

I think they're doing a good thing....you guys need to cut them some slack.
The Watchtower deserves as much slack as they give to worldly people - none. They usually receive a lot more than that.

Dealing with a hangover.
Haha, hangovers are there to remind you of how great the previous night was.
The irony is, having been a JW for 20 plus years and out now over ten, I have never seen so much alcoholism and financial strain, let alone porn and sex issues than IN the JW religion ... Ironically the watchtower here is potraying a young JW man ......
That really is the case. JW's are no better off than those in the world. There were many unplanned pregnancies and alcoholics at the halls I went to.

Looking back to what happened since sept 2012... i must say its brilliant !
by insidetheKH inwho thought in the early months of 2012 that such a rebranding would take place in only a matter of 24 months?.
they managed to go from an antique looking and boring website (watchtower.org) with hardly any attractive content to go to a fresh looking new website with stuff for everyone, families, children, teenagers.. movies, and short videos about almost everything and new ones added every month.
cartoons, animation video's , interviews, picture activities all kind of projects, many audio files like dramatic bible readings, dramas and music, online research tools, new brochures for kids (off and online) etc.

Nothing progressive is reskinning a website. What I think is amusing was raised at http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/286280/1/grazy-link-on-JW-ORG
They are using Roku, a "worldly" ondemand service that is used by other religious organisations, such as Mormons. I'm surprised they haven't developed their own platform, so that there is something else for them to sell to the flock, and they can keep them away from the temptation to view other programs.
