@ JV - This is a diabolical money-making strategy. I saw it on the Circuit level when I was still an elder the same thing happened. We got reamed for not sending more of "the surplus to mother" to hold onto by the DO.

Sadly, fading is bad for my marriage
by stillin inwhile headship has always been a problem in my marriage, partly because i'm more of a team player and my wife has man issues, now that i'm clearly fading my wife feels that i have nothing of worth to say.. i resist the idea of divorce but this is not much of a marriage.
since she doesn't/ can't hold down a job alimony would be ridiculously expensive.
cheaper to keep her, as they say.. i get zero cooperation or even discussion for any adjustments i feel might be in order for us as we grow older: obabmacare?

A friend and I talked a couple years back about developing a JW / WT reference app with all the best quotes from their literature for someone ti pull out and show them when trying to share TTATT... that would be stellar.

Follow-up - Grandma Mary Lou video
by BONEZZ ingrandma mary lou is home from rehab and doing pretty good.
she wanted me to give all her well-wishers a big hug and thank you.. her granddaughter may or may not have seen the video yet.

Great stuff Bonezz. I'm glad she is on the mend, this video has resonated with many.
Question:
Why not just txt your daughter the url of the YT video with a line that says, "You grandma has been thinking of you, watch this when you can."
What would the harm in that be I wonder?

DubYap - What is it ?
by EdenOne infrom wikidub:.
"dubyap is the technical terminology or characteristic idiom of the very special religious group known as jehovah's witnesses.
as philosopher condillac observed in 1782, "every [religion] requires a special language, because every [religion] has its own ideas ... it seems that one ought to begin by composing this language, but people begin by speaking and writing, and the language remains to be composed.

Small correction IMHO:
The Truth book was called "The Blue Bombshell" by some Dubbs back in the late 1960s-early and mid 1970s.

Witnesses going rogue - trying to blend in with the world
by BluePill2 init's been a couple of years now since i left the pink-pony-world of the watchtower real estate & money laundering inc.. out of curiosity i researched a couple of "brothers" to see if they are still in, what they are up these days, etc.
using linkedin, facebook, and other online research i come up with this:.
1. branch committee member lothar mihank (formerly in nicaragua, now branch committee in indonesia) presents himself in linkedin as "ceo of ssyi" and tries to pass the borg as some kind of corporation (which is what they are).

Awake JWs: any ideas on subliminally sharing TTATT?
by Island Man inlet me share one possible way:.
say you're out in the ministry with another asleep jw and it's your turn to speak to the householder.
you can steer the conversation in such a way that you can talk about the pharisees' unreasonable interpretation of the sabbath law and how it was contrary to what god intended.

Pretty good idea... Now for clinical trials!

The Great Grandmother Tragedy - New video on YouTube
by RayPublisher infrom the video description:.
a heartbreaking situation is played out every day for many grandparents that are former jehovah's witnesses or mormons: their precious grandchildren grow up without knowing them, and in some cases the little ones are told that their grandma or grandpa hates god and is serving satan and will be killed at armageddon.. .
why would such a terrible thing be done?

UPDATE:
Talked with Dan Hall again he is tickled that an excerpt of his book is on YouTube and he is working to get the book scanned and put on Amazon. Look for it in the next couple months hopefully.

I don't have Sony Vegas have been a long time Adobe Premiere / After Effects guy. In the past when I've had render-quality issues I have just exported a small clip of a project (like 10 seconds) with different settings until I found the right balance between compression and quality.
