Also, the convention is a religious football game now? With fans that make their own logo paraphernalia and hold up written signs/banners? With post-convention interviews?

a question for those that still attend meetings.... how many use tablets or ipads in your hall?.

i did roving microphones this week, and i counted 43 people (variety of ages) out of an audience of 98!.

just curious....

Wasn't all that long ago I remember elders saying the society would never have a website.

A JW sitcom?

by Island Man in

has anyone ever thought of creating a jw sitcom?

i mean, there's enough humor and drama in jw culture to keep audiences entertained for multiple seasons.

we have judicial committees, c.o.

j dubb

might work as a web series-not actual TV.

7 storylines are FAR too many for the average viewer to keep track of and would be impossible in a TV sitcom format. Sitcoms have an A and a B story-there is only 22 minutes for everything-opening/closing credits included. Thats only about 10 minutes per storyline.

I would totally see a reality TV show; you can get one greenlit on just about any subject matter, and I'll bet you can find witnesses to be in it. It would quickly fall apart as TPTB put the hammer down on participants in the show.

Swimming and the gym has replaced Sunday meetings

by KateWild in

we went swimming today, and joined up in the gym.

we will go every week on a sunday, and i will go alone twice a week.

i found it particularly easy to get involved with the other gym members in the suana, or playing with our kids in the pool.. we had a really great time, we even had reading time by the pool.

"My son was told it was "bad association" to go to rugby. He went for the first time after a year out yesterday. He really enjoyed it. He's not much into contact sports either."

Of course its Bad Association™! One would be getting dressed and possibly showering with Youths™ that do not Serve God™! In fact, locker rooms have been mentioned twice in the scriptures, both in a Discouraging™ light. How sad it would be if we thought a locker room was an acceptable environment simply because they are not outright condemned in the bible! Only the locker rooms and saunas at Bethel™ would be acceptable. Why, they are so Encouraging™, bible discussions have been held there! Why not set this as a goal for our Young Ones™ instead of the temporary Enjoyment™ of Worldly™ sports?

why isnt the Revelation book on the jw website.

by Sojae in

i asked my mother( still very much active).

she said books made from '86 and before would not be online.

so we both looked at her physical revelation book and it was made in 88 so it should be there.

j dubb

Just wanted to note; Revelation book no longer listed in publications or in WT online library. I assume it is out of print and you can no longer get one unless your hall happens to have stock of them.

What Have You Bought From TV Infomercials?

by minimus in

have you ever bought anything?.

my favorite commercial is the guy that screams because he's trying to clean his ears!

ahhhhhhggghhhh!!!

j dubb

Don't buy anything from TV commercials. Buy it on Ebay, Amazon, or in a store. Most of the TV infomercial clearinghouses pull scams with your credit card such as extra processing fees, slickly try to sign you up for services, hit your card with extra charges long after you ordered the product, etc.

Demons in a coffee shop? How would you react?

by laverite in

i just saw this very short two minute video -- brilliant.

it's gone "viral" on the interwebs/nets.

i couldn't help but imagine that if a jw had been in this coffee shop, s/he would have been screaming "jehovah!

j dubb

My first thought would be that it was a staged promotional stunt for Agents of Shield or something...there are so many of these youtube stunts now that the skepticism of the public should be increasing exponentially...
