from the time i was a small boy - i loved rock n' roll music.
beatles, rolling stones, led zeppelin, hendrix.
i started getting slighted for the music i listened to as i lay in my bedroom listening on headphones to led zeppelin's song " black dog " at age 14 with my elder dad looking suspiciously at me as i'm rocking out .
all the time. I grew up in the 90's and that was the big thing with JW kids. always being counseled about music. They have seemed to lay off that now, in favor of smacking them down for things like video games and college.
I wish I still had the WT library because i'd love to find the article where the WT slams rap because the words are spoken and not sung.

what is the purpose of preaching if not for converts?.
basically, preaching by the jw's is to make converts.
this in itself implies that jehovah's witnesses believe that they alone have the only acceptable way to god and that everyone else is just not worthy.
The last Ministry School makes a good point about illustrations. I can't remember the exact wording, but basically, if you have to explain an illustration THAT much, it's a shitty illustration. lol

has anyone ever actually been converted to a different religion by people who knock on the door, hand out leaflets or proselytise in public places?.

a korean man named lee jin-gyr fell in love with a life sized pillow called a " darkimakura" .
the pillow has the image of a cartoon character named fate testarossa on it from an animated cartoon mahon shaojo.
the 28 year old man takes the pillow with him everywhere and they eventually married.. this is part of a growing subculture of men in japan who engage in relationships with pillows that have cartoon characters on them.
how does the society feel about two of marvel's most popular avengers?.
first, captain america.
the star-spangled man with a plan.
They really don't directly comment on them, but they do in a round about way.
So, superheroes like that are basically the myths of our time, similar to characters like Hercules.
The WT has often speculated that mythical figures like Hercules have their origins in the Nephilim.
So the logic goes:
Nephilim = Demonic
so Hercules = Demonic
Therefore superheroes = Demonic.
so i *finally* upgraded my old, heavy, tube tv to a new flatscreen, smart tv.
the install was much easier than i expected and i was very happy with my progress.
then i get to the set-up part of the installation.
Pete, they probably don't have their fingers in any pot. The reason it's on Roku, and this has been mentioned many times, is that literally anyone can make a channel for Roku for free. Like, if you wanted, you could make a "Pete takes a dump" channel and people could watch you poop. Totally free.
With Apple creating an app store for their latest ATV, I suspect WT will have an app for that pretty soon as well.
