the bbc receives miion$ every year from the tv licence fee which is imposed on folks with a tv.
due to that source of income, they cannot advertise as other channels do to raise money.. however, the bbc has changed its web site to include video adverts which have to be viewed prior to seeing the news video - bank of america in this one.
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-32158049.
It's not coming up now.
As Simon says, the BBC (BBC Worldwide actually) have been doing this for years. It's perfectly legit. The licence fee has been frozen so the Beeb looks to outside the UK to pay to see its services. And therefore generate revenue streams for the BBC in the UK.
But it's ad-free within the UK.
Fair enough surely?

I saw the documentary at the Portbello Film Festival in 2013 and it's certainly worth watching. Plus there's the chance to chat to others who have had similar experiences to you before and after the screening at a nearby pub.
yes, today is the forum's 15th birthday!.
i never thought for one moment that it would survive this long or have so many people post so many great subjects over the years.. it is still humbling when i get pm's or emails from people expressing how the site has helped them and of course thanks goes to all the posters who have shared their experiences and make helpful and supportive comments to others who are in the sometimes difficult process of learning the real truth about 'the truth'.. the site has gone through several different incarnations over the last 15 years running on different platforms, different databases and different hosts but we've been able to keep all the old topics.
the current site is still being developed and i'm hoping to push another major upgrade soon.. i also may have some other news to share soon about the future of the site so stay posted.. until then, here's the the next 15 years!
Congratulations and many thanks for sticking with it so long. This site was a major influence on me waking up.
Simon, looking at your Welcome post you still seemed pro-JW at the time? If so how long was it till you woke up? Or had you already woken up?
i was reading the bart's answer to terry on th name "jehovah", and i remembered that when i did my personal study about the church fathers of the second century i found that justin martyr ignored the divine name:.
from the first apology of justin martyr:.
... and as many virtues as are peculiar to a god who is called by no proper name.
They do talk about this:
The Challenge of Knowing God by Name (w10 7/1 pp.4-8)
Such ones, like Justin Martyr, are 'apostate Christians'.
Of course any Christian who disagrees with them is 'apostate'.
theres was a mention about it in the september 23rd boe .
where can i find the video explaining 1914 or at least the new explanation of 1914 from the wt society and not you trying to remember bits and pieces :) ?
thank you
The video has been removed from JW.Org.

I consulted the entrails of a sheep last <remember to insert date before posting> and I did have this revealing...
Verily, I warn ye on JWN - if thou dost mock the prophet of the Lord thou will be smited and hated by the one true God who is the God of True Prohecy.
Remember the prophecy upon Tyre! Doest anything live there now?
Remember the prophecy upon the Land of the Chaldeans! Doest anything live there now?
Repent - heed scotoma. For verily the links he posteth to contain the revelation of the Lord!
following on from the recent thread about wt losing an appeal concerning the uk charity commission (sorry, i can't do the link) i'm pleased to report that this matter is covered in the latest 'private eye' (20 march - 2 april issue).. it's a one-third page article (p.34) under the heading 'child abuse' and the headline 'silent witnesses'.
it reports the case accurately, mentions several criminal cases and the ongoing high court compensation case.
it includes some of judge mckenna's comments..
this came up on terry walstrom thread topic recently and i thought it would be good to explore this further.
the jws are quite boisterous and arrogant that they use the proper name of jehovah as the divine name of god.
but a little investigation discovers something quite different.
what's the problem with prophecy?prophecy primarily requires a pattern recognition or insightful strategy not an analytical strategy.
prophecy rarely gives names whether of empires or their rulers.
even the name of the messiah - yeshua -wasn't foretold.
Village Idiot
@ Perry:
"...Russia, in alliance with several other countries, will amass a huge army against Israel, with a view to plunder the Jews’ land."
What will tiny Israel have that the Russians will want to plunder?
Stop that Village Idiot!
Last thing this situation needs is logic and reasoning.
