I wonder if that explains why they're using mostly apple products for assembly halls and KH tech stuff. The guy inside apple might be using his sway with JWs to help his career and his career to gain power with the JWs.

I've heard the same speculation amongst active JWs, but it doesn't really hold up. AppleTV is, by far, the easiest option to use for screen-casting a tablet (using airplay) when conducting a demonstration on stage.

There are other options out there, but AppleTVs are $99, and it's a no brainer to use them with all iPads, even iPhones.

Other screencast options for mobile devices are cost-prohibitive or are technically complicated.

Prank call to Governing Body member Anthony Morris III gets through

by Watchtower-Free in

alert..............alert.....breaking news .......... john cedars of jwsurvey has pranked called governing body member anthony morris iii at bethel .

over 2 minutes of pranking .

as i type he is editing the recording into a video .

cappytan

NVR2L8a minute agoSo tell me all of you who believe Cedars missed a great opportunity to corner AM3...what questions would you have asked him and how long do you believe it would take before he hung up on you?

I mentioned several in my comment above. Starting out with the Matthew 18 bit will probably keep him on the phone long enough to at least hear a little of what you're going to say.

I'm with DJS & the others. I mean, I'm all for prank calls, any day.

But, you've got AMIII on the phone and you make it a joke? Why not call him out on his BS? Say how offended you were and that you were following Matthew 18 to tell him you were offended by his bigoted, Pharisaical attitude, and ask what defense he has for that behavior. Let him hang himself even more with his own rope.

If he hangs up on you, then he looks like a big @**hole. If he gets all self-righteous and indignant, he looks like a big @**hole. If he humbles himself, admits it was harsh, then you have a recording of him admitting such!

Win-win-win, in that case.

Pranking him, although probably fun and entertaining for exJWs, only accomplishes two things: to those that are still in that happen across it, it "confirms" that apostates are evil and mischievous; and to AMIII, it justifies his actions because Satan is persecuting him so he must be right.

It reminds me of the 2013 AGM when they had an apple style technology section, focusing on the new JW apps. Something apple would do at one of their launch ceremonies.
They are going to try and make JW.org the religion equivalent of Apple.
Pathetic really.

I have it on good authority that he's close to the truth.
Right before the relaunch of JW.ORG, a source of mine very close to the project told me that there was a JW high up on the Executive team for Apple and that the Governing Body was consulting with them on this project and on bringing JW's into the "21st Century."
I forgot all about that conversation until I just read CoH's comment.
Thoughts?

Will the WBT$ Music Video be entered in the United Nations Contest?!!..

I'm going to say the probability is low....like REALLY low.

Will the WBT$ do it?!

Hell, no. They're probably paranoid about all the people that were stumbled in the 90's due to the alleged "library card."

Will someone unofficial enter the WBT$ Music Video into the United Nations Contest,so they have claim to dependability??!!

Possible, but very remote. (See first question.)

Did the WBT$ cause 9/11 so that Carey Barber could declare the gathering of the nations the next morning at Morning Worship?!?!?

Wait.....WUT?

First brand new Kingdom Hall built

by Kanon in

jw
friends

well if you check the new pay attention at the meeting video their hall is one of the 1st.

flat roof, lots of glass and a jw.org logo.

lucky them

cappytan

It's quite different from the new Hall design.

This would be a dual shed roof design. Shed roofs are mono pitched and pitched at a significant angle.

The designs presented at the LDC meeting were what would be called "Flat" roofs. They'd have a pitch, but only at a very slight angle of 10 degrees or less for drainage.

The Governing Body does not want people to download and save its monthly JW Broadcasting propaganda

by Watchtower-Free in

tv.jw.org does not provide a download option for this monthly broadcast.

also it has made it difficult to download direct through other means .

here's one way that still works.

cappytan

Actually, you can download them via JW.ORG.

February - http://www.jw.org/download/?fileformat=MP4&output=html&pub=jwb&issue=201502

January - http://www.jw.org/download/?fileformat=MP4&output=html&pub=jwb&issue=201501

December - http://www.jw.org/download/?fileformat=MP4&output=html&pub=jwb&issue=201412

November - http://www.jw.org/download/?fileformat=MP4&output=html&pub=jwb&issue=201411

October - http://www.jw.org/download/?fileformat=MP4&output=html&pub=jwb&issue=201410

Just adjust the "issue" variable in the URL to the correct month for future months.
