4Two Quotes Jehovah’s Witnesses in Particular Need to Consider
by PhilosophicalLogic in“he who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that.
his reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
but if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion... nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations.

dubstepped - "Why would you give them yet another chance...?"
To demonstrate that they are bending over backwards to be reasonable and fair, and that the Org has had absolutely every chance to do the right thing, will not, and have therefore condemned themselves by their own actions...
...and when their tax-exemption is finally revoked, they will have zero legitimate cause to whine about "persecution", or (more importantly from the secular authorities' POV) waste the courts' time and money trying to fight the results.
IMO, the folks in charge of the Redress scheme are doing exactly what they need to do...
...
In addition, the public outcry over CSA has become an issue that democratic nations can no longer ignore, the WTS has presented themselves as a near-perfect subject for an example to be made of (something that occasionally needs to be done), and I'm positive the Aussie legal system knows it.
Not to mention that they also know the world is watching with interest, so their tactics can serve as a template for others to follow.
Big picture, man, big picture.

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).

The burning questions I want to ask are...
Will the series be filmed in front of a live studio audience?
Will it feature authentic Hebrew-Aramaic dialogue with English subtitles, or classic-50s-Godzilla-style dubbing?
Will it accurately portray First-Century Christians dutifully preaching door-to-door with bags of scrolls?
Will Caleb and Sophia be featured in a cameo?
Will the WTS initiate DCMA takedowns if someone makes a stop-motion parody using Lego?
Will Jesus and his disciples be hot? More importantly, will Mary Magdalene?
Will Satan be portrayed by Tom Ellis, or will he more closely resemble Sparlock?
What roles will the Deafsturbation performers play?

by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe bible exhorts us to “worship the one who made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.”—deuteronomy 4:24; revelation 14:7.. insight on the scriptures, volume 2 pp 1200-1202. worshipone of the hebrew words conveying the idea of worship (ʽa·vadhʹ) basically means “serve.” (ge 14:4; 15:13; 29:15) serving or worshiping jehovah required obedience to all of his commands, doing his will as a person exclusively devoted to him.
(ex 19:5; de 30:15-20; jos 24:14, 15) therefore, for an individual to engage in any ritual or act of devotion toward any other gods signified his abandoning true worship.—de 11:13-17; jg 3:6, 7.another hebrew term that can denote worship is hish·ta·chawahʹ, which primarily means “bow down” (ge 18:2), or do obeisance.
