TV.JW.Org - WTF is Wrong With This Guy? - CAPTION THEM

by passwordprotected in

i've heard about his bombastic, overly patronising, cartoon-ish delivery before, but i'd never actually seen it...until now.

and i should add, this religion bears little to no relation to the one i left 6 years ago.. .

Just saying that 8 weeks to design, procure and build a studio is pretty good going.

I take this with a very large grain of salt.

Remember, this is an organization that traditionally brags that it's the first, the best, the fastest, the greatest ad nauseum...with no outside sources to verify anything it has actually done. And, WT doesn't exactly have a stellar reputation for honesty or accuracy.

More likely the WT spent months, maybe longer, planning this. Then when everything was assembled and ready to go they simply bolted the parts together, then claim they did it all in only two months.

TV.JW.Org - Expense?

there's no doubt that the wtbts isn't sparing the hard-earned donations from the r&f on its latest trial of jw broadcasting.. this screenshot i took from the "behind-the-scenes" is just one of many examples of top-end tech gear being used in this endeavour.. .

why does this guy need harmankardon speakers when he's using cad software...and note the iphone.

this guy's a bethelite?.

WT cost/benefit formula:

One super duper TV studio

-or-

5,000 new Kingdom Halls in any-number of-third-world-countries-of-your-choice.

The final decision was a GB no-brainer.

.

Note that jw.tv is broadcast only in English. So much for reaching out to the disenfranchised (read: nothing to donate to WT) crowd.

"Yet, a 1984 study showed that, for the most part, TV evangelists "reinforce people already committed to evangelical religion." W 11/15/86

jw.tv isn't designed to gain converts...its sole purpose is to keep the captive JW more captivated.

i have seen that some say if a man has 3 beers per day or a woman has 2 glasses of wine per day, that they may have .

@ jam:

1) you lose arguments with inanimate objects.

2) you have to hold onto the lawn to keep from falling

off the earth.

3) your doctor finds traces of blood in your alcohol stream.

4) you believe alcohol to be the elusive 5th food group.

5) the parking lot seems to have moved while you were in

the bar.

6) mosquitoes catch a buzz after attacking you.

7) that stupid pink elephant followed me home again.....

--

You forgot one, jam

8) JW.Org videos start to look interesting.

I refuse to click on that link. I don't want to be a unique visitor in next months KM.

As if their published numbers are real.

You'll be counted whether you actually go to JW Org or not.

"The Governing Body has approved..."

I feel so much better now.

.

"sensing" and "feeling" Jehovah's "obvious" direction.

WT ordered and paid for equipment, then it arrived.

Yes, this is obviously Jehovah's direction, because in all the time TV has existed, never once has a TV station ordered equipment and it actually arrived.

This only happens for Watchtower.

So if Jehovah has clearly blessed this, it seems the GB will determine whether to continue running with it or not.

WT has always told Jehovah what to do and routinely revises His decisions. Why should this be any different?

I think it is a rumor. Why? Because it would be so stupid to do that....

I dont think the powers that be are THAT stupid...............

Since when has this ever stopped the GB?

"Overlapping Generation" anyone?
