Lett's over exaggerated facial gestures are a lot like ole Mike Fink, a TV character from the '50s:

Wow, a really poor choice of words.
They should back the camera off about 50 feet when Lett is on

Warwick (NY) is the world headquarters. I’ve been there as well as Tuxedo, which is close to Warwick, maybe 10 miles or so. Tuxedo is mostly a residence area, with only a few offices (I think it was engineering and design).

Watchtower July 22 - JWs being interrogated need to muzzle their mouths
by Listener inthe watchtower has printed a disturbing article about self control and gives this instruction to the r & f .
self-control also allows us to remain silent when opposers try to trick us into revealing things that could endanger our brothers and sisters.
this might occur when we are being interrogated by the police in a land where our work is banned or restricted.

I have read several almost unbelievable, terrible stories about missionaries, JW or otherwise, who have been captured by drugrunners, etc and either held for ransom or killed outright. It's not always the legal authorities.

I gave away the older books which are hard to find, the 1930's Rutherford era books as well as the Studies. Then I had a bonfire for all the post 1960's books; a very satisfying moment.

times have changed in several countries. At least, in Canada, I can tell you that 30 years ago, it wasn't rare for people to knock on your door for various reasons. As the years passed, this has become rare, even before covid
Good comment. I grew up in the US midwest rural areas, and with my dad an elder and my mom a very welcoming person, we had unannounced visitors just about every day. They'd stay for meals, or just to hang out and talk. It was kind of fun and cozy, and just a part of life. Such a thing is practically gone nowadays. The visiting-at-homes culture which made the JW door-to-door activity somewhat acceptable is no more, at least in the US. I agree with StephaneL that it is likely that the JW door-to-door will fade away.

by Newly Enlightened ina pimo elder at bethel has come forward with a special message posted on reddit.. https://www.reddit.com/gallery/v9mgao.

In my opinion this post is simply creative writing, a work of fiction. The points could all be believable and realistic, but that doesn't mean the poster is a real person.
A few of the things which irk me about it:
The dated pictures attached are "proof conclusive" that this is for real.
Nothing of the sort. I had a special fulltime servant living in my basement last year who had intranet access. I could have had such screenshots just about any time if I had a reason or desire to do so.
No outside guests are allowed inside Bethel at this time.
Might be true, but totally irrelevant. Bethel intranet is accessed by any of the fulltime servants, many of whom are living elsewhere, like my basement.
which has been exaserbated by the restrictions
get a dictionary
sitting in on hundreds of meetings where decisions have been made
Doubt it, the vast majority of full time servants have their defined job which they do but are not making decisions as or sitting in on meetings as described
as well as all the "worldly" shit that goes on
No bethel elder, current or former would write such a thing

Preaching the Good News with Rising Gas Prices?
by truthlover123 ini fear this could put an end to travelling a territory due to rising prices- where i am located in canada, we are now paying $2.08 per liter .
now since there is 3.79 litres in one gallon that equates to $7.88 per gallon... .
how many in a car group will kick in?

Here in the US we have been spoiled for years with relatively low gasoline prices. Unfortunately in conjunction with that is a lack of mass transportation which is way behind anything in Europe. The culture requires everyone to have a car, or in most cases more than one, and drive everywhere. This year in my area (midwest US) gas prices have gone from about $3 to about $5 (which is cheaper than many parts of the country). I'm cutting back a lot on driving. If prices go to anything like $10 a gallon it would be devastating to a lot of people.
