evidently it would seem the wt sold the rights and will get royalties from "listen obey and be blessed.." this obviously is a trial balloon for what's to come.

kim and mikey alluded to this and i have been wondering why they are planning on spending hundreds of millions on a new movie studio in n.y. and also in australia just for the benefit of the few million jdub's.

well here's the answer, they are going to make money off the royalties from their music and video content selling to other church groups.

lol

nowwhat....your opening sentence sounds like a WT article: "Evidently it would seem..." ;-)

this seems a little too far fetched...what other organization would actually want to pay for WT music from a cheesy kids cartoon. What are your sources for this strange info?

by Designer Stubble in

**announcement october 28, 2020 for congregations** .

[read after the watchtower study the week of october 26, 2020.\] 2021 regional convention: many have expressed great appreciation for the special arrangement to benefit from the 2020 regional convention during this coronavirus pandemic.

because of the uncertainty of holding large gatherings in 2021 and the evidence of jehovah’s blessing on this year’s convention program, the governing body recently approved the following arrangements for the 2021 regional convention program.

truth_be_known....YEP!

This made me chuckle:

"....and the evidence of Jehovah’s blessing on this year’s convention program...."

The evidence being (??) They made more $$$....all the cheesy witness Instagram posts, getting dolled up with name badge to sit on couch.

Sadly I think Trump will win again. I think he will still lose the popular vote, but win the electoral college.

Just like in '16

Why don’t couples have to remarry when becoming JWs?

by enigma1863 in

you have to get baptized even if you were baptized in several other religions so why don’t they require you to remarry your spouse, especially if you were married as a mormon or muslim and had multiple wives.

some countries legally allow polygamy so you couldn’t necessarily just go by the laws of the country right?

these problems probably never come up though because i bet not many flds or muslims become jws.

tresdecu

All the Witnesses care about is that it is a legal marriage (you have a marriage license registered with the city/county etc) It doesn't matter what priest / rabbi / shaman / imam married you, or what religion it was...as long as it's a legal marriage.

** not sure what they'd do regarding your other ?s.ex: If it's a guy who had multiple wifes etc...in that case you'd probably have to pick a favorite wife, and re do the marriage legally in that specific country.

i miss listening and dancing to live music on a weekend night.. i miss going into a crowded mall store to window shop.. i miss going out into public and not having to wear a mask.. i miss seeing people freely mingle on a busy street or sidewalk.. what a difference a year makes!.

tresdecu

Rubadub...I like your way of life.

Traveling and seeing new things/culture and meeting kind people from all over the world is my favorite thing to do. I missed a trip to Morocco, and now can't really plan anything other that dream, and create wish-itineraries.

And this isn't a cult? Wife put on name tag for zoom assembly

by goingthruthemotions in

and this isn't a cult?

just saw my wife put on her name tag for the zoom assembly.... what the what?

i thought these things werent even live.

tresdecu

My wife and I get a kick out of looking at all the instagram pictures of JWs from around the world "at" the convention...with their badges on. Many are making it even more fun by delivering danishes, and frozen OJ to their friends. We saw a few of these pics...actually a funny idea. Those were the days back in the 80s when it WAS the TRUTH (tm) lol, muff-n-egg, danish, frozen OJ.
