Think of any date in the last 1000 years: 1111
Swap the digits around anyway you like to come up with an earlier date: No can do!
Now subtract the earlier date from your original date: 1111 - 1111 = 0

I wrote down: Uriah.
Isaiah 8:1-2 - The Lord said to me, “Take a large scroll and write on it with an ordinary pen: Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.” So I called in Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah as reliable witnesses for me.

I, for one, really appreciated this thoughtful point from the new publication, Apply Yourself to Reading and Teaching. In Study #9, Appropriate Use of Visual Aids, we are reminded of this important point:
- Make sure that your listeners can see the visual aid
This is so helpful, because -- you know -- that might not have occurred to us!
(See the highlighted portion at the bottom of the screenshot):

There will be no fifth generation of jw’s in my family.
by longgone ini’m happy to say that, yet as always with the wts there is a price to be paid.
i’ll explain how this is working out.there’s a new development in the family that’s making the final break possible, and sadly is where the penalty for leaving is going to happen.
only one person of all the jw family history is left that could start a fifth, he’s my nephew.

Okay, that video is epically messed up on so many levels it's hard to know where to begin ,..., but I'm going to just point out one really absurd bit of totally whacked manipulation:
- How in heaven or on Earth would deliberately NOT answering a math problem which you know the answer to Make Jehovah Happy?
Really. That's just stupid!

I for one really appreciate John Redwood's candor in admitting his mistake and explaining why and how it happened.
John Redwood: This is a lesson learned, and rest assured we would never accept such information for a JW Survey article without obtaining confirmation from multiple sources ... is our practice.
Absolutely, using multiple sources to confirm information is important practice which all of us should follow. The more important the information and/or its consequences, the more important it is that we properly source it.
The problem here was that they relied on a single source which they believed to be reliable and so they got suckered.
John Redwood: Unfortunately, all of the information we received came to us within 24 hours or less of taping the Watchtower in Focus program, and we had little time to investigate that specific portion of detail related to the annual meeting.
Many journalists -- and regular people too -- have fallen into the trap of being in a rush to judgment and a bigger rush to publish. It's just asking for trouble.
But, hey: it happens!

Jules: I also took Gorby’s thread seriously when he first posted it because he also didn’t initiatally say that it was a satire.
Sure, but real journalists do a little thing called "fact-checking" before they go to press!
Even still they can get things wrong. But to run with something posted anonymously on an ex-JW website without double checking and verifying is simply not prudent.
