singapore slashes publication bans, but not for jehovah's witnesses.
strait-laced singapore has slashed the number of publications it bans to 17 from a previous 257, allowing some communist and adult topics, but kept a prohibition on jehovah's witnesses publications.. newly permitted books include "fanny hill", a british novel published in 1748 said to be the first erotic novel in english, and "the long march", a chinese communist history.. a number of the de-gazetted publications were out of print or were permissible under today's content standards, the media development authority said in an emailed statement explaining the changes.. adult magazines such as playboy, penthouse and hustler remain banned, as are publications by the jehovah's witnesses church produced by its watch tower bible and tract society and the international bible students association.. the church's publications sit in the banned list alongside "hardcore pornographic publications" that "depict female models in sexually suggestive poses and their genitals", the government agency said.. singapore deregistered the jehovahs witnesses and banned its publications in 1972 because the church objects to serving national service in the military or singing national anthems.. read more at reutershttp://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/25/us-singapore-censorship-iduskbn0te19320151125#keowgufecfsjusvm.99
Cool Running:
The church's publications sit in the banned list alongside "hardcore pornographic publications" that "depict female models in sexually suggestive poses and their genitals", the government agency said.
the internet is a great tool as we all know.
i found this quote from the early book millions now living will never die to be very interesting as it seems to be the exact opposite of what jdubya's practice.
just another example of the double-speak they engage in.
“The truth is often disagreeable, because it fails to support prejudice or myth.”
Seeing our beliefs exposed as untrue can be disillusioning, especially if we were taught by trusted religious leaders. Some might liken the experience to finding out that trusted parents were, in fact, secret criminals. But is not finding out religious truth better than living under a delusion? Is it not better to know the facts than to be manipulated by lies?

Thanks for your research.
Only very few JWs would ever spend time doing what has been done here: Getting to the source (material) of the matter.
Kudos.
so i've been noticing recently that some khs in the area where i live (socal) are putting up the jw.org little blue dot, but others are not.
i would think this would be a mandatory directive from hq.
does anyone here have any intel on the matter?.
There used to be a time in JW history with a crisper view of commercial logos.
(. . . btw, the GB didn't endorse the logo with a scripture cited)
"Preparation" - 1933
in january 2015 my devout and longtime 'in the truth' jw relatives (50+ years) went to the german bethel factory in selters.
they were shocked seeing an near empty factory floor and were told that some printing presses supposedly have been sold to 'worldy' companies.i got to hear the stunning admission out of their mouths: "we left with the impression they are closing up shop".just whoa!
to me it sounds like a firesale - "because everything must go" (die hard iv).. has anyone else seen the factory in that condition?
Thank you all for the answers. Thank you fastJehu for the detailed report.

Has anyone else seen the factory in that condition? Or, is it just an overrated personal opinion?
just researching, and i came across the tv channel on jw.org.. .
is it only for the anglophone public?
no subtitle when the gb member speaks?
I'm glad I'm not the only one, Asterix.
After all, the TV clips seem to appeal to the American audience.
