  This is a giant face-saver. Now the legislation is passed they have to obey caesar by their own rules. Surprise, surprise, that obedience is going to save them millions in tax dollars.

  So, obey with bad grace and hope no-one notices.

  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?

  they 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? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  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"

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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?.

  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.
