JW-Studios seems to be fairly common on a google search.
Are we sure it is our jws?

JW Studios, LLC - for commercial purposes?
by neat blue dog injws have always used non-profit corporations to publish their work, from print to audio and video.
so why is their new mega-studio with the hollywood-sounding name "jw studios" an llc, or limited liability company?
doing some searching here are some things i found:.

Panic buying of gas and price gouging
by mynameislame inthe news had mentioned how some stations were charging over $6 a gallon for gas.
they also brought up that the government had promised to come down hard on anyone that was price gouging.. my question is, is it possible to price gouge when there isn't an actual emergency?.
i think there are some benefits to raising prices even in an emergency.

I haven't had a cold for two winters now. I'm kind of hoping we'll go the way of japan and just keep wearing them.
Of course it might be that I started washing my hands

I think there are some benefits to raising prices even in an emergency. For example to prevent hoarding and panic buying along with not having anything left to sell later.
But in this case there wasn't even a real emergency. More like the news fanning the flames of panic so they can produce more news.

J Dublethink
by LoveUniHateExams ini'm just thinking of examples of jw doublethink.. here's one - jws will tell a bible study or unbaptised publisher that there is no hierarchy within the org.
they typically remark on christendom's hierarchy but then say 'we are all brothers'.
but as a person gets further into the cult, jws will constantly stress the need to obey the governing body.. jw hierarchy .

it's a conscience matter
don't solicit donations
free to leave
not inspired\prophets
other religions are a snare and a racket
news is fake unless it promotes their agenda
happiest people on earth
are humble
lying is wrong but it's only lying if the person being lied to deserves the truth
believe the message is urgent
love their neighbors

I am still not able to solve this God's name paradox...
by psyco ini am finishing to read the entire bible (nwt 2013) for my first time (my fault) and i wrote down hundreds, maybe thousands, of questions not clear to me, but one especially came in my mind meditating on god's name.. if i wanted to summarize the entire bible in one phrase i would say (even before the kingdom): god’s name sanctification.. god is jealous about his name.
he does everything for the love of his name, and he wants to be called and prayed using his name.
no doubt about all this (repeated several times in the bible), but it involves the pronunciation of his name.. god left us his name in the form of יהוה which is unpronounceable.

The JWs over use the name, genericizing it to the point of being offensive. Well offensive if you are Jehovah. They don't seem to have any reverence for it. They even try to cleverly use it in the name of their religion. Yet after all these years, I bet 99% of the world has no clue what the term Jehovah's Witness even means. It wouldn't surprise me if half the JWs out there hadn't made the connection. If god is who they say he is you'd think they would treat his name with a lot more respect.

Have you ever seen who gets promoted to management from the rank and file workers? Not to mention, based on the rest of the article, it's probably BS or literally a one in a million chance. And have you ever seen a retail manager that looks happy? You couldn't pay me enough to manage a crew of unmotivated entitled low wage workers. Don't forget, management is a salaried position so you'll likely be working 80+ hours a week.

$15.00 minimum wage
by hoser inwhile we are talking about economic stimulus i thought i’d bring up the $15 minimum wage.
pros and cons?.

I don't know what the minimum wage should be but I feel like if your business model doesn't allow you to pay a decent wage maybe you need a new business model.
Also the minimum wage discussion needs to include a discussion about affordable healthcare. A couple years ago I had surgery. The surgeon's bill for 3-4 hour of surgery was over $20,000, insurance knocked down to $4000. Keep in mind this was just the surgeon. The hospital got their cut as well as the anesthesiologist physical therapy, follow up visits etc.... If I didn't have insurance I would have been toast no matter what kind of job I was working.

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).

Bathing Daily Doesn’t Help The Planet
by minimus inthe new york times as well as other news agencies are reporting that in order to help save the planet we should limit our daily bathing.
they say daily bathing really because popular in the 20th century because elites decided to impress and use petroleum based soaps and take advantage of their indoor plumbing.
a lot of this daily bathing ritual was just for show.

SouthCenral, I believe the show Freaks and Geeks brought up trimethylmaneria and it seemed a lot more understanding and loving than "the brother's" comments.
On a side note I saw an article that mentioned we might want to think twice before replying to an email with "thanks" because of the wasted resources. Kind of ironic since email was supposed to be the savior of the planet since we wouldn't need to print and send paper documents anymore.
