Tv.jw.org - Average Jdub reaction? I'm getting NOTHING but Silence!
by 4thgen inhello all, as you know, when jw tv was announced, our board went wild.
many comments, much speculation and alot of negative feedback on the quality, etc.
well, what has me concerned is that i have not heard a peep from any of my connections left in kingdom-land.

How many JW read their magazines? Read the Bible daily? Participate at the meetings? Pioneer? How many do recognize 'new light' when they read it? (Usually the WT needs a footnote to indicate: this is new light.) How many are really able to lead a Bible study? Etc.
Really, most JW aren't very jolly about their religion: they're followers, not more. Maybe just 10% is really active and happy about it. The rest is mentally inactive.
So, I am not suprised that most jdubs aren't very exited with tv.jw.org.

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.

So, the OP is actually saying that until 2012 the WTG did not take care of it's members and didn't had much to offer.

From my own experience: traveling to Israel is very safe. Except for Gaza, which is pretty far away from every place where tourists will go.
A few years ago we've visited a Dutch sister who lives in Israel since the 80s. She had some nice stories about the jewish opposition against JW. They are getting some serious threats now and then. So funny when she showed a poster which was distributed in her region with the faces of her and other JW and a nasty text (I don't remember the words). But in general she was really positive.

Serious problems with Gospel of John, and his Revelation
by Pinku in1) john presents a jesus who is totally different from other gospels.
2) johns claim of jesus being partial to him undermines jesuss own teaching (mathew 5:44-48).
3) johns claim of first miracle (changing the water into wine) and the last (or most spectacular) miracle of resurrecting lazarus are not known to earlier gospel writers---something impossible for them to miss!.

Imagine yourself a very old man, exiled to the desolate island Patmos. No wonder he went crazy!
I've actually visited Patmos some years ago. It's a nice little Greek island. According to the legend John received his revelations in a cave (with sea view).
Reading Revelation you should keep in mind that John was on that little island: there are a lot of reference to the sea in Revelation.

So I was 23 and about to give my first complete talk (as ministerial servant) in my home congregation on saturday evening. That morning I went into the field service and did a return visit: two middle aged Russian men. We talked about the Bible, about Russia. And hey... I HAD TO try their Vodka! They really insisted. So I agreed to take one. But after that the glass was filled again. So in the end I had about 3 of 4 glasses of real good Vodka.
The talk in the evening went great (for a 23 year old).

Farkel is a liar and a cheat!
by seven006 ini have absolutely had it with farkel's lies and (try new kiddy bathroom bubbles only $3.95 per bottle) his childish attempts to discredit those who still believe in god.
he is relentless in his (now the one pound tub of the famous amway laundry detergent only 19.95) efforts to shove atheism down our throats.
i personally am offended by (new amway energy bars in four tasty flavors, box of 12 only $6.95) his blatantly cynical attitude and slamming dialog.. i think his account should be (summers coming, try amway car wax and make your old car look new)!
