Further thoughts on the new media Center project

by nowwhat? in

the organization figured out that a big building project gives the rank and file something to be engaged in and excited about.

it distracts them from their hamster wheel life.

and it buys them another 5 years until the next big thing.

What's happening in the land of Oz? That one seems to have slipped by me.

lloyd evans has just tweeted a video he will be releasing soon on the "change" to the meaning of the sheep and goats and when that is to occur.. i've missed any discussion on that on here or anywhere?

it seems it was part of the 2020 annual meeting the gb had?.

any info on this?.

This feels like studying the entrails of a mouse in the hope that the results will cast an insight into the future. I find this return to what seems significant to the faithful, the very kernel, of all that leaves me bored and cold.

To anyone that finds it interesting, good luck to you.

Wife told me a tale about a letter writing experience and my BS meter was like "uhhh ya rightttttt"

by goingthruthemotions in

so me and my pimi wife are driving today and normally we don't talk anything about her stupid cult.

because it will end up with me saying something and her getting p.o'ed.

well anyways i have been trying to just ignore the bs and keep my mouth shut.

This is reaching urban myth proportions, it has been repeated by at least one CO. If there is any actual evidence of this I think it is deeply buried.

new series "The Good News According to Jesus"

by neat blue dog in

this concept was leaked here not too long ago, and it was just announced at the next section of the 'annual meeting' on jw broadcasting.

they allude to it being a half hour series and say that it will cover literally every detail in all four gospels in chronological order through the course of all episodes.

they also insinuate that it's the most ambitious project yet (i guess making use of that new media production facility).

Most investors get a share of the profits. That doesn't seem to apply to shall we say Dubbywood or maybe Warwywood or Dubneyland. Anyway the latest film studio, sound stage complex.

Phone witnessing and the Year Book

by Diogenesister in

when the “year book” is published online next year, and the number of new baptisms is roughly the same as it always is, how are they going to deny that their new “converts” are nothing more than born-in kids of witnesses or already “captive” family and friends?.

the “billions” of hours of service are at best pointless and ineffective and at worse often fabricated.. what say you?.

Slidin Fast

I cant see how their hours can go up if they are letter writing. They will have the same text for each letter, so all they have to do is print it, address the envelope, and post it. Takes no time at all.

That's what you know. My experience is that a break-out group sits for an hour composing 1 letter with one person doing the typing. So maybe six or seven people count that time so 1 letter=7 hours. They then scrap that template and start a new one next time. A complete waste of time and life.

New JW study book / method announced on JW Broadcast

by Funky in

so did anyone catch the january jw broadcast?.

it's the "spiritual content" of what would have been introduced in the october annual meeting, had the october annual meeting taken place.. morris, splane, and jackson introduce a new jw study publication: "live forever eternally - an interactive guide".. details were sparse, but apparently it is a 256 page book (when in actual printed form), primarily designed to be used in its electronic form, stuffed with links to videos.. it is designed to be "just one book" to be studied prior to baptism, where "all 60 questions that baptism candidates have to know" are found in just one place.. the purported reason is to make jw "bible" studies more "productive", i.e., lead to more baptisms.. splane brought out the governing body's "great concern" that 10 million+ "bible" studies are conducted by jws every year, but the number of baptisms has been stuck at 200,000 - 300,000 per year for decades.

so the thinking is, this new book + a "new method of conducting studies" (again, no real detail, but apparently it involves more "discussion" and less "question and answer").. want to know my thoughts?

One big weakness. You direct people to the internet, what will they find? Or are there stern warnings to the effect that the internet is only there for WT accredited material?

Thoughts on Zoom

by waton in

the wt sponsored zoom meetings reduce individual freedom, spirituality.

the wt sponsored zoom meetings enables ego maniacs, narcissists to have their influence beamed right into your living room.

conversations that were private, personal are now broadcast, forced on all participants.

Slidin Fast

A majority in our hall have the video off and their mic muted. It certainly is intrusive and much hated I believe. When tit was a novelty, there were many inane and excited greetings to every on who appeared. it was just awful. Now, nobody appears until the last minute, those who arrive early just sit in bored silence.

I think, if and when this is all over, it will not be missed by anyone, God's miraculous provision or not.

As they say to the NHS in the UK, firefighters and all who take great risks for the common good, "thank you for your service".

Maths Virus 1914

by Anna Marina in

this is my latest video.

it is part 1 of a series that reveals the mathematical trickery watchtower uses to con people about the 1914 doctrine.

it takes a radically different approach to that of carl olof jonsson who dealt with dates.. this video focusses on how watchtower misuses the numbers in scriptures and creates a mental fog that prevents people from understanding and therefore prevents them from challenging.. the full title of the video is maths virus - revealing the antivirus to 1914. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llkmrul3afg.
