by neat blue dog in

jwdotorg released a picture gallery with dozens of images from around the world of jws celebrating ('commemorating') via zoom, organized by continent:.

the vast majority of photos show the people's faces, but this european 'brother' is a rare exception.

Hi ,

When I lootk at these picture the first impression was "artificial"

for exemple look at the "south america" picture ... this jw cook with the glass and the bottle of wine near of his working place ?

Strange ...

I suppose they didn't have table nor chair ... they didn't have closet or cupboard ? But they have a tablet to see how to make "bread" ????

If you use the magnifying glass and zoom on the bottle , it seems to me there was 3 or 4 persons and to much lights for a simple "personnal picture" and you can see the room seems bigger than we could firstly think

If I look at Australia Océania, or North and central americas ... who take the picture ? and the light for the scene was perfect !

the Asia Picture seem to be taken à 1970 year and the light are perfect too

I finally think all that picture could have been taken inside a Bethel or in a studio but certainly not real one

Best regards

Help with my novel I'm writing

by pimonotforlong in

i don't know if i'm submitting this under the proper subject area, but i had a question i was wondering if anyone had any expertise on.. i'm writing a ya novel inspired by my experiences growing up and being a teenager as a jehovah's witness.

it is a fictional story though.

however, my critiquing beta readers are torn between whether i should make it the actual jw religion in the book, or if i should make a fictional religion based on the jws.

keinlezard

Hi,

Great.

I hope read you soon :)

For me it is just a hobby ... and I probably use lulu.com for editing .. .and free for the epub version :)

but since I'm french my text will be in french ... maybe I try to translate it ... with many many errors :)

Best regards

Hi pimonotforlong

I still writing a novel where I kill the GB. I am on re-read and correcting phase.

In the preface , I just write , that the story is "a total fiction" , but my inspiration comes from

data, and testimony I found on the internet ( cra, candace conti, José lopez ... and so on )

The names of GB members are all changed , I mixed different aspect of GB members and recreate

"original" person ... ( but I presume Lett or Herd will be readily recognizable :) ) ...

But in my case, it's special ... since I kill GB :)

For you case, I think you can says GB and JW, it's your story ... and your life that you will write.

If you have familly, who are always jw , it's could be difficult to says "word" against WT , when we know that

jw take accusation against WT or GB as accusation against themselve ...

Sometime I see TVshow where people say about their "cult" expérience they don't tell "Watchtower" or "JW"

but when they says "no christmas" , "no blood", "no birthday" ... I think everybody know that is the Watchtower and the JW

finally I think ( as I have read it herre ) your totaly free , depending of your message , and which reader , which goal

:)

2019 Service Year Report Grand Total

by Listener in

the watchtower is thrilled with the amount baptised in the 2019 service year.

they are reporting an increase in publishers of 103,208 from the 2018 year.. this is what they have posted under global news on their website -.

2019 service year report includes largest baptismal figure in 20 yearswe are thrilled to announce that during the 2019 service year, more than 300,000 individuals were baptized as jehovah’s witnesses.

keinlezard

Hello,

303 000 ? but from where ... all figures I see here about baptism where under 1% ...

I suppose that africa is the main place where these could come

Or but some should says ""you'are an apostate , opponents" , these figures are totally fake ....

Less publications, less Kingdom Hall , but more and more JW ??? something seems wrong

Best regards

Broadcasting move part 2

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

i think this is not an unimportant observation.. with the move of the broadcasting channel to the library part of jw.org the broadcasting are away from the general public.

so the obscure gb video's about strange mathers are not out to the open anymore with a simple click to tv.jw.org.

only the rank and file will find them easily.. i think this was the objective of the change.. g..

keinlezard

Hi,

Another possibility is simply web rank.

Now with this change , the Rank of the jw.org website is the old "rank" of jw.org alone with the

rank of "tv.jw.org" website ...

New KHs Still Being Built!

by blondie in

jw
friends

https://www.thereminder.ca/news/local-news/new-home-under-construction-for-jehovah-s-witnesses-1.23964617.

flin flon, ca.

according to statistics supplied by jehovah’s witnesses canada, about 85 jehovah’s witnesses live in flin flon, with around 100 people coming to each of the group’s biweekly meetings.. “we needed a new hall because the congregation has outgrown the old hall,” said congregation elder kelly flodell in a press release..

keinlezard

Hi,

just a remark, in this case ... the construction is rather a refection no ?

even if they destroy the old KH ... and the WT/CC will count it in "new KH construction" then

JW believe obviously that there are new building but in fact there -1 and +1 and finally no real construction

Caleb's mom in university ad

by road to nowhere in

ad on tv had the exact cartoon figures as caleb, sophia and parents.

i cant convince anyone pimi that the gb didnt come up with the programming all by themselves.

the mormon kids look similar too.

keinlezard

Hi,

I could imagine that it's software dependant. Like some other piece of software

like sweethome3D, or simpler all the soft we could find on ikea https://www.ikea.com/fr/fr/planner/configurable-room-kitchen/#/?coro-state=2.1.34-0-0-1a-5-b-a-c-0-0-16-7-0-0

or https://kitchenplanner.ikea.com/fr/UI/Pages/VPUI.htm?ignoreDeviceDetection=true

In that sort of programm choices are poor and limited ...

Another possibility is that "watchtowerian" animator are low level animator ( just a consequence of "no higher education" , "no university" and it was all that these jw-animator could make ...

Maybe a combination of the two :)
