tim310d,
That's strange. How do you know that? Did you read it somewhere?
I guess if you can only put out one program per month you are entitled to let a quarter month pass before you get it together.

Watchtower Content Producers Tardy With their Monthly Broadcast. WHY?
by scotoma inhow hard is it to produce a monthly program and get it up on time?
they are late every month.. are these the same people that published 128 pages of magazines by the 1st,8th,15th and 22nd of every month for over 100 years?
are they understaffed?

Are they understaffed? Can't find enough creative people in the organization to get it done.
The Governing Body has cut their personal appearance on the programming in half and are relying on their "helpers" to take care of the other half.
The 700 club was able to produce current programming every day for close to 35 years.
Of course they had a format that wasn't scripted. They would sit around and chit chat. Why doesn't jw.tv show some casual conversation among smart JW's at Bethel. The real reason is they want to control everything.
They are afraid things will get out of hand. Also the last thing JW's talk about when they get together is the Bible.
To have an engaging broadcast requires spontaneity - which is discouraged by the organizations cookie cutter mentality.

One of my jobs from when I started pioneering in the early 1960's was at McDonalds for $1.50 per hour starting wage. That would be almost $12.00 an hour now.
Large companies that only pay the current minimum wage are forcing the middle class to supplement their workers income with numerous welfare programs.
The government should supplement anyone who is working up to a living wage and do that by taxing the large corporations.
As far as affording education - companies should be paying for the education of their workers out of a super fund. The companies are the beneficiaries of an educated work force.
The truth about education is that some people simply cannot learn complicated stuff because they have low IQs. We evolved in a hunter-gatherer environment (at best subsistence agriculture) and you can do that with an IQ of 70-80. The poor you shall have always.
If a person is willing to work they deserve a living wage. That's what nature provided when we developed as a species.

The Watchtower insists that the Disgusting Thing is the United Nations and the Holy Place is the world empire of false religion.

Would the discovery of EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE completely debunk the bible and religion?
by Black Man ini think it would.
instantly.
in fact, i hope one day soon that we somehow encounter extraterrestrial life because i think there would be a wholesale rejection of the bible and any/all religious institutions.

Updated Chronological Timeline of the Great Tribulation -- after the New Light from July Watchtower
by FusionTheism inthe july 15, 2015 study watchtower article entitled "your deliverance is getting near", along with the jw broadcasting video entitled "gerrit losch: fortified by "the prophetic word," and chapter 21 of the god's kingdom rules!
book presented a large amount of new light or clarified understanding of the events of the great tribulation.. here i am presenting it in chronological order -- this is the governing body's updated chronological order of events for the time right before the great tribulation through armageddon:.
the final sealing of the anointed occurs just prior to the outbreak of the tribulation.

What kingdom do the sheep inherit?
by scotoma inonce again jehovah has decided to light a candle so jw's can see where they are going.. they went to great lengths to explain that feeding the hungry anointed, thirsty anointed, giving them clothing, housing and visiting them in jail means the preaching work (distributing literature).. this is indeed noble when you consider that the right-hand sheep do this not even knowing who they are helping.. if the sheep are oblivious of who they are helping they must not recognize these "least" ones as christs brothers.. and what is their reward for unknowingly, blindly helping christs brothers?
they inherit the kingdom that was prepared for them from the founding of the world.
the new-lighters conspicuously avoid explaining what kingdom they inherit and how they inherit it.. do they inherit the kingdom that flesh and blood can't inherit.

Do they inherit the kingdom that flesh and blood can't inherit. (Romans 8:17)?
Or does that scripture simply mean they enter paradise on earth?
How can they go to all that trouble explaining that parable and not give some clarification of the manner in which they inherit the kingdom. Maybe Jehovah told them and they forgot to mention it. Or maybe that is something that will be explained the next time the "light" shines forth on the progressive revelation.
You've got to wonder why Jehovah didn't inspire the writer of Matthew to explicitly use the words "paradise" or "inherit the earth".?
The virgins have run out of oil in their lamps.

Pope Francis - "does just so..." washes feet of women, Muslims, criminals
by scotoma inthe watchtower is always concerned about things being done "just so" when it comes to divine commands.. a command is usually set forth with words such as shall, should, ought.. when jesus washed the feet of his disciples he said:.
"therefore, if i, although lord and teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash the feet of one another".
the pope obeys christ's foot washing command but jw's don't.. what's the jw's excuse?

Blondie,
A little residue of hatred for the catholic hierarchy?
There is nothing wrong with a public leader to do things as an example.
Why question anyone's sincerity? You're not the judge. You don't know a person's deepest thoughts.
The thing about Pope Francis is that he didn't just wash the feet of some convenient priests in the official "foot wash room". Francis went to the poor to show he wants to serve them.
I think the ritual of washing feet is an effective experience for all concerned, the washer, the washee and the on lookers.
The point I wanted to make is that the scripture at John 13: 1-15 is clearly something Jesus expected his followers to copy. Jehovah's Witnesses have no effective argument against this practice. There is no justification for their ignoring this command except they want to be "different". I wasn't singling out the GB. They simply inherited this attitude from the crazy JR (Judge Rutheford)
