But one guy slipped in with a jacket but no tie. He must be the worldly target audience.
Noticed that too. Betcha he's a Bethelite dressed casual to look like a "worldly person." Surprised they didn't slap a fake beard from last summer's drama on him for more authenticity.

I'd be surprised if this was a creation of the Branch.
I'm 99.9% certain this was created by the branch (or even HQ), not by a circuit or local cong. This is their "Rouen Project" รก la "Manhattan Project"

Same old ideology as before, just a bit of sugar coating.
Making it look like an Apple store does not mean there will be a line of customers out the front door.
Like most of what they do, the society isn't doing this because it is the most effective way to attract people - It may be one of the only ways to keep their slaves from getting bored!
A pretty expensive propaganda campaign against their own if you ask me.
I don't see this lasting.

Sleek, modern furniture. . .
Refined logo and compelling graphic designs on the walls. . .
State-of-the-art LED lighting. . .
HDTV screens and interactive style displays. . .
All completely uncluttered by any (worldy) pedestrian traffic!
Looks marvelous!
jw leaks has published the respondent's brief prepared by rick simons in the case: candace conti v. watchtower bible and tract society of new york & fremont congregation of jehovah's witnesses.

Ah, my afternoon reading.
Awesome job JWLEAKS
if we are going to create a pie chart with the following categories, what could be the main components-reasons and their respective percentages for just staying in the organization in spite of the doubts, discoveries about the jw doctrines/beliefs?
i doubt if the topmost reason is because of love of jehovah god and his son jesus christ.
your inputs dear friends and fellow brothers will be most appreciated.. a. below 40 years old.
I would say that with my wife it's about 68% fear of losing family, 2% losing friends, and 30% she just wants there to be a "new system" as she was taught. She sure as hell doesn't want to go to heaven.
All in all, it's 100% emotional blackmail.

All they need is to start selling some JW coffee and donuts... JWbucks is open for business!
Their Fire-and-Brimstone Dark Roast is delicious, and their Armageddon-Lemon Cake Pops will make you weep and gnash your teeth!

JGNAT - thanks for embedding the YouTube
BESTY - lol! Yes, I do believe that's what that little back room is for. Just enough chairs for a JC and the offending party. If you're going to get DF'd, it sounds a lot prettier in French.
88JM - thanks for the stills

But you will hear that when Mr. Kendrick was removed as a ministerial servant, that's a significant event, it doesn't happen every day, that's a signal that something is wrong.
Yes, he could have done some hideously evil thing like send his kids to college.
