are convention dramas still a thing or have these been replaced by videos of dramas recorded in the usa?.

"Governing body members sign gift Bibles for public officials"

How far does this tradition go back? They're a whole lot of questions raised in my mind when I see this. When did it start? When did they feel comfortable showing the R&F that they were doing this? Who else do they sign things for? What else do they sign? Do they still do it? Are there more such photos?

jonahstourguide: "All videos are made in U.S. or in the case of Jesus advertisements, Australia."

Can you explain/expand this statement a bit? I've never heard of the last part.

Once again blood and shunning come back to bite them on the bottom. 🙄 Archaic stupid doctrines forced upon them by long dead autocrats, weaponised to the nth degree and enforced by a legal department which is terrified of the consequences of winding them back at all, because that would prove that those doctrines were wrong all along, and unnecessary for the correct worship of Jehovah*.

FFS, abolish the HLCs already, Watchtower! 😡😤😠🤬

*Jehovah, the mediaeval scribal error

Robert Tilton is a disgraced televangelist who was able to make a comeback. People have short memories.

The WT is a disgraced predictor of end times dates which was able to make a comeback. People have short memories.

Just out of curiosity, could JWs have a costume/fancy dress party at all (as long as it's not on a certain October evening)?
