bye... bye.... no more new printing presses for jw.org... the growth is so tremendous (irony...).. all printing work in europe will be arrange in the next month only in selters (germany), but no renovation or upgrading in printing presses is expected... it will be a full outsourcing :).
a worldly company axel s******* will be used.
this company is known to be printing bild newspaper... the interesting part of it is the logistics will be as well outsourced.
Who then is going to print the "message of judgment" during the upcoming GT? - berrygerry
No printing necessary.
It will be released on JW Broadcasting:
"We waaaaarmly encourage you to watch this new music video entitled 'Message of Judgement: Die You Worldly Bastards.' Enjoy!"
hello forum.
i started this topic because i had been thinking recently about a story that i had heard many times in different congregations over the years.
kind of a jw urban legend if you will.
As far as I've been able to tell, Jehovah operates at about the same level as chance.
I am unable to reject the Null Hypothesis.
my partner has been going to the adelaide law courts recently and as she goes thru the topham mall she has said hello to the jw cart ladies on her way ,well, today one of the ladies she observed went around the corner from the cart and lit up a ciggy...so naughty.. my partner has never been a witness but she knows i was once and asked me if they were allowed to smoke now.. jeez they get up to some naughty stuff when they are lounging around on their phones ,must be the devils tools corrupting them ha ha.
I'm not really surprised. . . I think I'd take up smoking if I had to stand behind one of those carts all day.
I would have been more shocked if she went around the corner and rolled her own with a tract.
this video is hilarious, had to share - skip to 12:20 .

Really well done! The "bunker" clip at 12:20 was pretty funny.
Looking forward to more videos by this guy.
sometimes it's hard to know if our own experience of jws was typical and what features were peculiar to our own area or the individual jws we knew personally.
i was wondering if others experienced this among jws:.
a few times on the ministry, when we were working wealthy areas with large houses, some brothers and sisters would make the comment that they look forward to taking ownership of one of these big houses after armageddon, when the worldly people have vacated them.
Yes, comments like this were made on a regular basis 20-30 years ago, absolutely. We live in a pretty wealthy area, so there's a lot of opportunities for this sort of nastiness.
However, I don't remember anyone making these sorts of comments in say, the past 15 years or so. . . . Interesting now that I think about it.
because i simply decided the watchtower corporation wasn't the truth(tm) i was da'd in a secret jc that i didn't attend.
i was writing songs with a friend that day instead.. jws wasted no time in labelling me as an evil villain.
the rumours abounded.. i was labelled as 'a false prophet'.
Geez PUNKOFNICE, I'm shocked they haven't accused you of being a vampire too. . . .
They have such active imaginations. You need this to believe in invisible kingdoms and such.

I applaud the woman in the gallery who yelled "you sleaze!"
i just tried to go to the site and there is a goodbye message.
i was a member there since 2010. i was really surprised.
i had just started posting there again after being away for a while.
Even though I'm not a JWR refugee, I was on JWR as well under the name TIMEQUAKE (another Vonnegut novel). In the beginning I posted a little, but in the past year or so I was just popping over sporadically, taking a look, and giving a "thanks" every now and then.
The reason I signed up there a few years back was just for a change of pace.
JWN (or JWC) is a lot like New York City: fast-paced, lots of amazing stuff too look at in every direction, lots of really great, diverse people (as well as a few weirdos talking to themselves). There's also the occasional sidewalk scuffle; but like in NY, I usually just cross to the other side of the street.
JWR was a little more like Club Med: a much slower, relaxed vibe, cool people, and amazing frozen Margaritas I think that up until (but certainly not including) the End they really created a great place for "recovery."
Anyway, welcome everybody! I think it'll be great to have you guys in the mix.
Best,
BOC
i just came over from jwr.
a little background: my mom converted to the witnesses when i was five.
i was baptized at 14, was mentally out by 18, and successfully faded by the time i was 25. mom and both my younger sisters and their families are still in.
Hey WAYWARD! Welcome!
hey y'all.
i just wanted to officially make my debut on https://www.jehovahs-witness.com and introduce myself.
i'm an old jwrer, and it looks like i'll be dropping in on here now for cult updates and friendly conversation.. a little about myself:.
Welcome MARLBOROBARBIE!
