It is using Amazon's Cloud Services:
Amazon.com, Inc.
Amazon Web Services, Elastic Compute Cloud, EC2

Akamai International, BV
They have a premium streaming service too. If you stream a video and stop it part way through, you can continue playing it at any time, even days later. It maintains the connection.
That doesn't happen on YouTube for example. After some number of minutes they drop your connection and you have to refresh the page to remake the connection to continue streaming.

that's the conclusion of a study showing that the dramatic drop in religious affiliation.

in the u.s since 1990 is closely mirrored by the increase in internet use.

of the u.s population had no religious preference.

Very good points in your preceding comment freemindfade :)
My thoughts have meandered to recall this silent protest...

This stuck in my mind as an incredibly incisive method of expressing discontent, far more powerful than a big noisy protest. Far more psychologically impactful. She can only imagine what they were all thinking.

4/4 might be worth thinking about if you're considering an earlier date.
A '4' can by stylised as an 'A'
And there's plenty of words/phrases that would rhyme with four.

with today's events the message and tone of this video makes a lot more sense.

thus the defeated, failing, delivery.. http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbmw_201509_1_video.

it had a purpose.

I'm surprised that video ended up on the site. It's almost like it's been put out there to discredit him. It's clear he does not actually believe what he is saying. Terrible delivery. I think they perceive the game's up.

'The silent speak' has a certain ring to it.
Could be a strap line.

It's coming together :)
'world wide' slipped back in there ;)
It might be worth having a number of topic based paragraphs that people can copy as some issues will matter to some more than others.
It's critical there's something 'local' in the letter so the elders know it's come from their congregation, not just a generic mass mail.
Good work in pulling this together!

freemindfade: I think we want to save the disassociate bit for a little bit. I think we should get the date viral at first, that something big in exjw land is brewing and planned for this date
I like your thinking. In the months before Ghostbusters was released they ran a teaser campaign 'Coming soon to save the world' with an image and nothing more than that. People were wondering what it was all about.Piques curiosity.
