Congratulations mate. I had my 2nd knee done a couple of weeks ago. I think you will be up and about before the day is over. It's an amazing process. If you want to PM me that would be welcome.

Does anyone know how Leonard and Marjorie Chretien are doing today?
by WingCommander inthey are the hosts of the first jw documentary in 1986 entitled, "witnesses of jehovah.
" they authored a book of the same name.
they were probably in their late 40's / early 50's in 1986, so i was wandering if they were still active or even alive?

This is striking at the heart of what JWs see as religious "freedom". I hope it runs and runs.

Further thoughts on the new media Center project
by nowwhat? inthe 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.

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.

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 inthis 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 inwhen 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?.

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 inso 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?
