1. did jesus use the term this generation as a compliment?
2. was jesus speaking to people living at that time?
3. was jesus speaking about people living at that time?
Reading that I can see now how it's obvious that Jesus was referring to a generation that was going to be alive over 2,000 years after his birth that overlapped with a preceding generation that saw events that were going to take place 1,914 years after his birth.
Makes complete sense! :D
this article was published by the wts on their website.. i find this jw practice of targeting vulnerable populations to be so disturbing.
the last thing that canadian aboriginal communities need is yet another institution that victimizes their members.. http://www.jw.org/en/news/releases/by-region/canada/inuit-bible-education-northern-canada/.

We are considering ordering a copy...
Yes, I noticed that. Obviously a decision that needs consideration for some reason - the cost maybe?
I wonder too how happy WT would be knowing monies are being spent on transport rather than being sent to them.
I can't see them keeping this up somehow. Unless WT are being reimbursed for all costs. :D

@truthseeker100 do you have local knowledge?
I would imagine in those remote and isolated communities either they would be all in, or none in, with no real in-between. I guess that if someone has internet access it will only take one to do some research and their findings would spread like wildfire through their community.
I hope so.

...sometimes local authorities are not at all naive about the impact of cults, but selectively "use" them to help better the lot of the locals as in basic reading and writing and supply of other provisions.
This is a possibility.
In my research I came across this page:
26 things that are totally normal in Nunavut
in particular look at 5, 6, 7, 18 and 20.
So somehow I don't think they will be getting regular visits or shipments if it's costing WT anything. And the JWs themselves won't be able to afford to keep travelling at those prices.
It did cross my mind to wonder if WT wasn't getting some sort of kick back for this whilst the JWs paid their own way?
At least they won't be subjected to the happified stated of jw.org broadcasting.
Every cloud... ;)

Contact information so far:
Northwest Territories Communities
Note that there are very few email addresses. This suggests that internet access is limited and they have little possibility of researching the reality of the JWs.

Just reading the release on the jw.org website and the officials mentioned relate to just one community. They have visited 35 communities in the Northern Territories.
The word 'predatory' comes to mind.
And the issues you raise:
It will be so destructive to those communities if the JWs get a foothold there. I feel sick in my stomach thinking about it.

As I was reading through that I was thinking that he needs to receive an email or two explaining what they are really letting themselves in for
...and then I got to the point where you said you'd emailed them.
Very good.
It occurs to me that there could be great value in being aware of these kind of developments and responding promptly with emails. Nip things in the bud as it were.
i started working on this chart 5 years ago.
i didn't think i'd have to update it again so soon.. .
