Fading. They aren’t stupid.
LOVE THIS ANSWER!!! lol On a serious note, I agree with the comments on the time and money in making "kid-vids" not much there as compared to the emotionally manipulative adult videos... the mix of sappy, cheesy and oh soooo culty deserve all the attention. Wonder what will become of all those Caleb and Sofia picture spots they put up in all the assembly halls?? hahaa
WT has a habit of introducing something and if it's popular and fun, getting rid of it real quick... goodbye Sparlock lovers! lol
i thought this was all about the 18th century.
but its current or just post current times.

Funny, I thought this thread was just a question if anyone was watching it...
I'm now a freaking expert after reading all the comments! lol
Where are the "golden children" lately? lol
yesterday i drove passed a town a couple of hours from my home and saw this kh under construction.
this is the first new design kh i've seen in washington state even though i would think by now another one or two have been built.
maybe not with their financial situation being the way it is.

This show grinds my nerves... but, of course, I am semi-hooked. I just don't like the really pissed off mood it puts me in after watching... I wonder why?
Under his eye... may the lord open... blessed be the fruit.
so here in the uk this video is getting jws very excited.
now my mum actualy said it wa funny to hear jw music at the start and finish.
so i'm wondering if the watchtower had any input into this.
i'm posting this link:http://jwdivorces.bravehost.com/spies.htmlonce you start reading it you won't be able to stop.fascinating and well-documented citations which give credibility to the belief that such a sneaky, underhanded, and often illegal practice has been secretly promoted for decades by watchtower society world headquarters..
PS> as far as some of the stuff on the link of the original post... I don't know... I agree with the comments that most of it, if not all, was crap elders would take upon themselves... I do know for a certainty in the 70's they would follow suspicious activities of members (like going into gay club etc) and definitely watching singles homes to catch them fornicating... this was to comply with the almighty 2 witness rule!!! Anyway, I am not big on conspiracy theories-- but theres so much crap this org has been caught doing... wouldn't put it past them.

If this didn't happen to me personally, I would have totally disregarded it... the fact is, it DID! Back in 2012-13 HELL YES, the WT was experimenting with cookie and IP address tracking software and had been quite successful in catching a few PIMO's on "apostate sites" making/leaking information. One of my family members fell victim and was caught, called in for a judicial meeting where they were all too ready to DF him. A war of words ensued that this was a witch hunt since no one seemed to know HOW the elders came to know of his being on the sites in question... doesn't there have to be an actual accuser? There was a stalemate and after several hours the verdict had been changed from auto DF to public reproof... Later on, after things had blown over just a bit, I approached one of the elders on the committee... (Keep in mind, I was still very much physically and mentally in at this time) I asked innocently a question that bounced to the fact that they had received emails from an "inside source" showing our internet IP address was on a list that was being compiled, and that is why our family member was called in... (there's more to this, but I cannot tell all details since this person is STILL LEAKING info) he just found another way to do it without being tracked. I don't think they care about the average publisher--- I think they are more tracking MS, elders and other high ups that have access to things that they don't want leaked... just my personal opinion...
interesting how watchtower have twisted whats actually happened and how they've presented it to their members:.
from https://www.jw.org/en/news/jw/region/canada/supreme-court-rules-20180531/.
in a unanimous decision released on may 31, 2018, the supreme court of canada recognized that the disfellowshipping arrangement should remain free from court intervention.
Thank you Pale--- I just put together the exact same grouping of info to send over to my brother in law who is an active PIMI elder... Not sure if it will make any difference, but figured I might as well try! Its on their website!
