That #3 talk is essentially a "demo" every week. I vehemently hate doing demos. I have no problem giving talks, but please, not demos. I think I will take myself off the school finally.

help me understand: if jesus started ruling in 1914 does that mean we are in the 1000 year reign

No. While the WTBTS loves to say "Christ's Millenial Reign", this isn't actually the case. The 1000 years applies to the length of time Satan is abyssed, which is the same length of time the those of the first resurrection rule WITH Christ.
Rev 20:4: "And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for 1,000 years"
Note: this never says Christ's rule is 1,000 years. Only their rule with Christ. This could easily go into a discussion of when Christ became king: 1914? Or earlier? Plenty of verses allude to earlier.

It's amazing that the more they try, the more they fail. As pitzjw said, Gog and Magog don't come on the scene until AFTER the thousand years have ended.
As for the 10 virgins, did they even bother to explain Matthew 25:9? "The discreet answered, saying: ‘Perhaps there may not be enough for both us and you. Go instead to those who sell it, and buy some for yourselves.’ " The "oil" isn't faithful service. You can't buy faithful service. Must be something else that they haven't figured out, yet.
As for the 10 talents, this cannot represent the preaching work. Why not? Think about the one slave who buried his talent. The master told him that if he had at least deposited it in a bank so as to gain interest, then the master would have been happy. You can't put preaching in a bank, so to speak. This makes no sense.

I agree with paradisebeauty. If used in a small audience, such as a KH, someone might figure it out by sheer deduction. However, there's no way to know what IP address is matched up with what device. The only way that could happen is if they had some sort of Login protocol after IP assignment that logs your device name. And there would be no way for you to know that's happening. If, after you connect to a network, you get one of those Login pages that asks you to click Login to agree to the terms of use, then it's possible that your device name could be passed along. And you can bet that if they have a Login protocol, everything is logged at some level. But, if you just connect and have nothing further to do, then there's much less of a risk.

TV.JW.org - Purpose?
by passwordprotected inthere's an interest point raised by stephen letts at around the 7 minute mark of the intro video;.
much of the equipment used to build the studio was made available by donation.
he twice mentions (once at the start of the video) the need for "support", which we can assume means donations.

Good points in this thread. I had another thought:
I smell another campaign coming on.

TV.JW.Org - Expense?
by passwordprotected inthere's no doubt that the wtbts isn't sparing the hard-earned donations from the r&f on its latest trial of jw broadcasting.. this screenshot i took from the "behind-the-scenes" is just one of many examples of top-end tech gear being used in this endeavour.. .
why does this guy need harmankardon speakers when he's using cad software...and note the iphone.
this guy's a bethelite?.

Lett did call it an "investment". When someone makes an investment, they usually expect a return on it.

I beg to differ. This WAS leaked six months ago.
Then the young tech geek ms yells "holy hotbed of corruption fatman the GB are starting their own television station."
EDIT: Ok, I take that back. That probably wasn't a leak. It seems to have been speculation. But, spot on.

GoDaddy says jw.tv isn't available. Pity.
But, funny thing, one of the suggestions was "jw.wtf". I chuckled at that. :)
