I think they use actors. Being in front of the camera, having to things over and over again for different shots or when someone fluffs their lines is very difficult and the productions are too slick for ALL of the people in them being Bethelites...

Who are the people in JW TV videos?
by HappyDad inout of curiosity, i have caught a glimpse or two of the "drama" style videos.
are the ones in these televised "dramas" jw's or did they hire actors for the job?
i can't see the average jw being able to do acting as good (if you will call it good) as some of these people.

Worst - Terry Armstrong. Total dick of a man with an overbearing, sanctimonious wife. Hugely entitled couple who clearly strived to make everyone feel shit and inadequate.
Best - Clive Pitman. And I'm only sayin that because they were all shite.

Recorded judicial committee hearings
by Bamidbar ini believe that the best way to inoculate any friend or relative of yours from becoming more deeply involved in the watchtower is exposure to recordings of the judicial process.. that goes for those already in the watchtower---if you can get them to listen.. what in your opinion are the best available online?.
i recommend several.
i am writing this off the cuff and do not have all the exact links, but you should find them easily.. anondud2 - on youtube.

The Matthew Barrie example is a good one as he recorded all of his talks with the elders before it became a judicial matter. Doing so reveals that the accusations against him were false and instead arose because of the bruised ego of the Presiding Overseer at the time.
He appealed his disfellowshipping for apostasy, however while the appeal committee made up of very prominent local elders couldn't find any evidence of apostasy, he was disfellowshipped for not answering their questions, or "failing to show honour to the glorious ones" as they put it.
A listener to these recordings in New Zealand transcribed the meetings, they're also available text format. If anyone wants the full mp3s of the recordings, send me a PM.

Could it be the property grab is about shoring up their portfolio in the event of more lawsuits, giving them a large buffer which would allow the inevitable cash payout, protecting the afore mentioned luxury lifestyle of the leaders? -

Which of their beliefs, in particular, do you respect?
Personally, I have no respect for any of their beliefs, and by extension I do not respect them or their decision to peddle their religion and its beliefs, including its harsh shunning, in my city.

INTERSTELLAR
by RobertT18 insorry for the caps but... this movie was incredibly amazing!
this film will probably win a lot of oscars.
more than an hour's worth of footage has been shot in 70mm so it is worth seeing it in imax.

Changed: Head coverings for sisters, w15 2/15 QFR
by wifibandit indoes a female kingdom publisher need to wear a head covering if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher?.
in a questions from readers item published in the watchtower of july 15, 2002, it was stated that a sister should cover her head if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher, whether he is baptized or not.
further consideration of the matter suggests that a modification to this direction is appropriate.. if the male publisher who accompanies the sister while she conducts an established bible study is baptized, the sister would certainly want to wear a head covering.

Interesting the number of comments on the LGBT site hinting they think he's a closet...Not that there's anything wrong with being gay.
