WT now promoting literature officially at book fairs

by StarTrekAngel in

can there really be any doubt now on how commercial it is?

if you thought the new kh design seemed commercial in nature, now imagine one of those halls turned into a jw store.

we know they exist.

Just look for the book: " The finished Mistery" from 1917...it's really a gem...and it is priceless.

All this new JW.org stuff is hurting my brain

by Nosferatu in

so i just watched the singing cart video.

i literally cannot describe how i felt watching that.. growing up as a jw was serious business.

we had to take the preaching work seriously, watch our conduct, give a good witness by our actions, and be on our best behaviour to ensure we made it through the great tribulation.. when i was a child, i had dreams of being a cartoonist.

Now it is "Serving Jehooba with your whole cart"!

The official Tony Morris might be quite another than the real Tony Morris. I think there are a lote of jokes and pranks at Bethel. Probably they have had some laughs on the spanx thing.

The "Happy" video indicates that life at Bethel is nat always very strict.

Yes, indeed, and I have to use my glasses when I am texting!

Anyhow, the producers of the video must have been aware of the wonders of internet....I don't believe that they were that naive.

This Josh Chang letter is interesting:

"Regarding the happy video... Hello all,

My name is Josh Chang and I was one of the producers and creators of the video. Thank you for your appreciation of the video. It took many hours and a lot of effort to create. The thing is, it was meant for a private audience and spreading it around is causing potential legal issues with the song copyright as well as the fact that we did not obtain releases from all the almost 900 participants who were in the video. Also, it might cause issues with our assignments here at Bethel, which would be heartbreaking. Therefore, we are requesting that you please inform everyone you notified as well as deleting all copies that you may have downloaded or been sent. Please do not post it or share it. Also, if you have, please notify those individuals to do the same. This is especially critical if you have posted it in a format that allows others to download it. Thank you so much for your support and understanding.

Your brother,"

He wasn't a guy with a camcorder.....he is one of the producers in a production team.
There were more than 900 people involved in making this video...there is no way that the leadership was unaware of the production of the video. So...I doubt that the participans in it will be having trouble with their assignements, but who knows.........they might need some scapegoats.
Yes, it was probably made for internal use....BUT..with 900 peoble involved it is almost impossible to keep such a pruduction secret...there will be sharings.....I am sure that the production teem knew about this...they cannot be that naive.
Anyhow, the funny thing is that this video might be one of the most popular ones made by the Watchtower...even very popular among the rank and file. Maybe it will reach the 800 000 wiewers at youtube that a certain sign language video had some years ago. :)

The video is very well produced. There has been a lot of work filming and editing that video. But mostley..there are more than 500 bethelites in that video.....that's not a small group. Of course someone up in yhe hierarchy must have known about the video being made and has given his OK to it.
