re: cardboard cutouts- they should ask the people who used to carpet the seats with pamphlets to 'reserve' them to step up now and help put the cardboard cutouts in the seats. It would be a familiar activity for them, only this time it would not inconvenience everyone else.

Thanks, Kim. I (like others here) have been getting the impression that he hasn't really made an effort to replace the work that his team used to do. If he's not paying attention to such an important story and relying on the kindness of strangers just to get decent convention video footage, it does look like he's just going through the motions now.
I guess that is more of an observation than a complaint. If he's ignoring CSA related items, it might be for the best.

The Patreon numbers fluctuate, you are better off checking them once a month, if that.
re: the AP story on the JWs, how long was it up before he was informed via Twitter? Did the story break while it was nighttime in Croatia? I'm asking because I'd honestly be shocked if he didn't have some sort of way of getting this info quickly. Doesn't Google have a simple notification service that sends you an email or text based on a search term?
It seems, to me, to be the sort of news item that he would want to know about immediately, in order to make a video about it as soon as possible. Has he made a video about this case?

Why not just upload the sushi on a regular schedule, and then combine them in a playlist? It keeps people coming back for content, and those who want to binge only have to click one button.

Revelation describes BTG as a whore that commingles with the powerful nations of the world. The WTS interprets this as representing false religion, which will work with Earthly governments to attack god's people before the end.
Planet-wiping vaccines seem both too subtle and too looney to be applied, IMO.

Lots of empty seats at Jehovah's Witnesses Convention in Tucson, Arizona
by RULES & REGULATIONS inhttps://youtu.be/5926nhzyz90.
the jehovah's witness 2023 convention theme is, ''exercise patience''...by looking at the attendance at this tucson, arizona convention, it should be changed to, '' jehovah's witnesses...running out of patience''.

In the late 80s or early 90s, there was some reorganizing of districts or circuits in our region. I remember that convention attendance was much lower in our conventions after that. Not because fewer people were going, but because the district/circuits had been split and had fewer people in them.
Have there been any such changes lately?

Parodies would be a good idea, but the problem is he doesn't understand comedy and he cannot laugh at himself. His parodies would be more meanspirited than they would be funny. The videos would give others plenty of fodder for making fun of him, and that would just drive him insane.

Poll says Gen Xer's would like to return to pre-internet
by SydBarrett inaccording to a new harris poll shared exclusively with fast company, most americans would prefer to live in a simpler era before everyone was obsessed with screens and social media, and this sentiment is especially strong among older millennials and gen xers.. asked whether they would like to return to a time before humanity was “plugged in”—meaning before people had wide access to the internet and smartphones—77% of americans age 35-54 said they would, the highest of any group.. .
what would you consider your ideal level of the internet?
as a gen x'er, i would not want to go back to the per-internet world, but i would like to go back in some specific technologies.

I like the faster speeds and having so much information at my fingertips. I avoid social media for the most part, because it works okay in very small doses but consumes people once they are participating daily. I think we'll either adapt to the volume of daily interaction or learn to throttle it back to something that doesn't seem so overwhelming.
It did teach us that we take common sense for granted, sometimes. I guess the videos of people trying the cinnamon challenge will be a lasting reminder that, after decades of growing our knowledge by leaps and bounds, humans are still capable of epic levels of stupid behavior.

How about having a special undercover mode so PIMOs can browse the site with greater security?
by Island Man inwhen you visit the site it says jehovahs-witness big and bold.
a pimo might be browsing the site and a jw might come up behind him unexpectedly and notice he's visiting a site about jws other than jw.org, which can lead to the pimo reported for viewing apostate information.. to help remedy this risk, i was thinking about the possibility of having a button that activates an undercover mode where the title of the site is not prominently displayed so it's not easily apparent to an accidental eavesdropper that it's an apostate website.
also, the color-scheme and graphics can be different so that it doesn't look like the regular site.

If no word on the case is forthcoming, then we should keep reminding everyone about this important criminal suit that is working its way through the Croatian courts. We wouldn't want to miss out when the guilty verdicts come down and Croatian agents jet around the world, ready to bring righteous justice to these barbaric rogues! Maybe Evans can film the apprehensions, like those thrilling "cop dramas" we see on TV!
