No creepier than any other picture the WT has used in the past. I do agree the smiles all looked like they are forced/pasted on.

B.C. Pastafarian officially loses drivers licence over holy colander
by William Penwell intake a look at this fellow that says it is religious right as a pastafarian to wear his holy colander for his drivers license picture.
opens up the whole debate as to who is the one that determines what appropriate religious head dress is.
i might join this religion myself as it makes as much sense as any other religion.. http://bc.ctvnews.ca/b-c-pastafarian-officially-loses-driver-s-licence-over-holy-colander-1.2041499.

Looking back to what happened since sept 2012... i must say its brilliant !
by insidetheKH inwho thought in the early months of 2012 that such a rebranding would take place in only a matter of 24 months?.
they managed to go from an antique looking and boring website (watchtower.org) with hardly any attractive content to go to a fresh looking new website with stuff for everyone, families, children, teenagers.. movies, and short videos about almost everything and new ones added every month.
cartoons, animation video's , interviews, picture activities all kind of projects, many audio files like dramatic bible readings, dramas and music, online research tools, new brochures for kids (off and online) etc.

The WT still can't get away from their history of failed predictions. I know for a fact what was said on the buildup to 1975. The WT can lie all they want but this is a fact as I lived through it. So big deal a multi billio dollar corporation, book publishing company, not too many average working, tax paying individuals can compete with this money.

I do not know when it was but it seems to what I recall Russell did not admit or revise his prediction till late in the year 1914. As the story goes one morning late in 1914 at the breakfast table he made the announcement to the rest of the Bethelittes of his error. I don't think the JW's or the WT deny this. Again though if they are spirit directed, how could Russell have made such a false prophecy? I could be wrong on this one and will be open for correction by anyone else on here.

I remember as a kid and the WT explainatiion as to why they would not put the relgion on TV was they did not want anything to do with "Babylon The Grape". Things sure change when they have to find other means to recruit new members.

My understanding is that Russell originally said that Armageddon was going to come in the fall of 1914 but then changed this to the end of the gentile times after his failed prediction.

Did it bother you that they taught, "miss a meeting and you'll fall away?"
by Wasanelder Once inhow many times did we hear that if we dont attend meetings we will leave the truth because satan will get ahold of us?
that always bothered me.
i thought, "if my faith isn't able to stand alone what good is it?

With any mind control cult it is very important to keep that mind conditioning as they know that rational and objective thinking will kick in.

by baldeagle inthe week of september 15, 2014 was the congregations cos visit.
the midweek meeting was on tuesday, a very general bland talk was given by the co. in the past we would have had the elders & servants meeting on thursday night, and the other congregation meeting on friday.

I'm sorry, I am still laughing about "records" being a judge of spirituality.
I remember reading on here that some former elders admit they fudged their numbers at the end of the month if they didn't meet the WT minimum numbers.

What the WT is not saying is that Russell thought Oct 1st was going to be the end of the system. After the disappointment of the false prophecy he revived his prediction as Oct 1st being the end of the gentile times.
