It's kind of funny that I saw this post today. I was chewing gum, wearing large sunglasses, and listening to trance music on my Zune during the program yesterday.
It's safe to say that I had a really good time.

District Convention Mischief?
by jws indoes anybody have a list of convention dates and a hi-res scan of a convention badge?.
i remember all of those talks about behaving at assemblies and all of those talks about setting a good example.. .
what if people were to go to an assembly, looking exactly like a jw, but behaving like a jw could never get away with?.

How long will the WTBTS survive?
by Megachusen ingive it your best educated guess.
how long do you guys think it has left?.
personally, i think it has about 10 years before the org's leadership disolves and the religion splinters into hundreds of adorable little jw-like cults..

I'm surprised at how many people in this thread think that it has 40+ years left.
For once the society has been right -- the scene of this world is changing. Rationality is making a come back and I'm certain the GB is aware of it. Look at the new "Wonders" DVD: they completely ignore evolution. Why? For the past 100 years they've bad-mouthed and criticized evolution while making erroneous claims and spreading disinformation. Why stop now?
When the DVD was being announced the brother giving the talk made it clear: this is their new anti-evolution medium. The brother explained three times how it was supposed to replace our current "Life How Did It Get Here" book. If it is indeed supposed to replace the past anti-evolution literature, why does it never talk about it? For further evidence of this back-peddling make a note at your convention at how many times the brothers mention evolution while giving talks that have nothing to do with it.
Check out this article: http://www.watchtower.org/e/20080101a/article_01. htm
In it they explain how it's impossible to reconcile evolution with their beliefs. Well, I've got bad news for them: they're going to have to soon if they want to survive.

I got my hands on the new "Wonders of Creation" DVD release
by Megachusen inmy head is still ringing from all the delicious spiritual food that i received today so i won't have my review up for at least another day or so.
suffice it to say that the dvd is extremely well designed(for the society, that is).
you can tell right away that they put a lot of money into cg planetoids.

"Is quantum mechanics mentioned in the "wonders" dvd?"
No, they try their best to stay away from anything too difficult for the average dub to understand. Instead they focus on very simple middle school subjects like how ice freezes(wtf) and fractal patterns in a snowflake(granted that part is in the special features section).
At one point they use the standard creationist approach of "lets show a bunch of 'amazing' statistics to persuade the audience into beleiving in God". For example, they said early on in the video that there are so many stars that if you put a single star on each page of a book it would take you your whole life to flip through all of the pages.

Right you are, Lime! The whole video avoids evolution like it's the fucking plague. I'm assuming that the society is beginning to get wise to the fact that they aren't going to beat evolution in a game of science so they're switching up their style.
Don't worry though. The society uses 5th grade science to try to convince the audience that the world is just too amazing for God to not have created it. Since they still (try to) use science, however, critiques can still be made. Half of their evidence seems to have been pulled out of a VenomFangX video("IF THE WORLD WAS 5% CLOSER TO THE SUN WE WOULD ALL DIE!" etc.).
To be honest, I was surprised that at the end Ray Comfort didn't come onto stage with Jarcas weilding a banana.

It's too bad that they still can't find a good actor in the whole damn religion though. :D
Since Tuesday said a few days ago that he wanted a copy to critique I'm going to have that up for him to download (and presumably all of you who want to see it also) soon.
My brain is pretty much cooked but I think I can still take a few questions about the DVD, so go ahead and ask away!
