syneidos posted some interesting information on reddit regarding jw.org's latest project for the upcomming 2015 memorial campaign.. for next year's 2015 memorial campaign, jw.org is producing an invitational video featuring jesus.
the video is still being filmed at the moment and i was told it was super "confidential.
" my source already saw several scenes from it and said, "it looks and feels like a cinematic movie.
" This invitation movie seems kind of unworkable, will be fun to see how it all works out. Kate xx"
It could play as a commercial on TV networks. The jw.org logo will direct viewers to visit jw.org. On jw.org they can feature the memorial and have drop down boxes so visitors can choose their country and get a map and/or the address of the time and place nearest to them. There is already something similar to this on jw.org for finding a kingdom hall nearest to you.

st. petersburg, november 7 (rapsi) environmental prosecutors office for st. petersburg have uncovered violations by the russian jehovahs witnesses chapter, according to the statement issued by the prosecution on friday.. the prosecutors office reports that the religious organization dumped waste in a creek that flows into the gulf of finland, in upstate st. petersburg, without any permit.. the neva-ladoga water authority confirmed that in 2013, jehovahs witnesses dumped more than 30 thousand cubic meters of waste into the creek.
in 2014, authorities detected a rise in concentrations in ammonium lignosulphonate and fluoride, in violation of the on environmental protection federal law and water code of russian federation.. the prosecutors have filed a lawsuit against dumping waste into the creek.
Knowing the Russian govt's recent enmity toward JWs, I'm not fully convinced of the accuracy of the report. We cannot rule out the possibility of trumped up charges in this case. I take the report with a grain of salt.
this is the scuttlebutt in one of the "bethel congregations" by us.. no details as to exactly what this "faith-testing" announcement might be.. anyone else hear any of this pre-zone visit hype?.

Could the faith-testing announcement have to do with the selling of many "older" kingdom halls in the US, resulting in the dissolution of some congregations and members being consolidated into others? This announcement was made in the UK and is mentioned on this recent thread.
i posted here a week ago some disturbing news for congregations being consolidated in britain.
my goodness that was nothing !
a letter was read today from bethel addressed to all congregations in britain that can only be described as the biggest news for years.the main points:.
Maybe a similar announcement is in store for the US and will be made at the US zone visit. Maybe that's the "faith testing" announcement that is to be made.
ok so i know its not really anything to do with jwness but we are struggling with baby names and really can't think of one we both like.
its getting a bit desperate as i'm due in about 8 weeks .. i'm getting bored of looking at the same old names on the baby names websites so any suggestions would be much appreciated (girls please).. **cash prize for the one we choose!
** ....... no not really lol.. .

I don't think the video will make it too evident that Jesus died on a stake and not a cross . . . well if Watchtower is smart, it wouldn't. They will try to avoid putting anything in the video that could cause anyone to have a reason to object to attending the memorial. If the video plainly shows Jesus on a stake, then it would cause householders to raise questions or objections that would keep the JWs at the door longer instead hurrying to the next door to invite as many as possible. So I think the video will be as mainstream as possible featuring only elements that most if not all christians agree with.

Could the anouncement be about the use of the "Jesus video", mentioned on another recent thread, to invite persons to the memorial? We all know that JWs over the years have been trained to avoid focusing too much on Jesus. So playing a video to the householder that seems to focus a lot on Jesus could well test the faith of christophobic JWs. Then there's the issue of not all JWs having tablets and not all JWs being tablet literate. I can see how a Jesus-focused video can be faith testing to Jehovah-centric, christophobic JWs.

Maybe the use of this very Jesus-focused video in the ministry to invite persons to the memorial, is the faith testing announcement to come at the zone visit? It would test the faith of many JWs since they have been trained to be uncomfortable focusing too much on Jesus. LOL.
science observes, studies and analyses the basic nature of all the components constituting the part of any experiment, follows the principle of cause and effect, and come out with equipments that would contribute to our comfort and save us lots of time and energyall of which are ultimately aimed at making life on this earth happier, longer and healthier, thus making this world a better place to live.. yet man day-by-day becomes more and more unhappy and discontented, and world is becoming bitter and bitter!
it means: though science is right in its details, it has gone wrong in its direction.
it failed to rightly judge and assess the true nature of its prime object (man) for whom it works.
I think the biggest mistake of the OP is confusing science with the wisdom and motives of those who develop technology. Science is purely our knowledge and understanding of how our universe works. The goal of science is purely to understand our universe. Science does not claim to be the pancea for all our problems. Science is all about gathering knowledge and understanding. How persons choose to use that knowlege cannot be blamed on science. Saying that science has failed to bring us happiness is as fallacious as saying that Math has failed to bring about world peace.
It is actually religion that pretends to know the answers for all our problems and despite the plethora of religions world problems continue. In fact, religion has actually been a chief catalyst if not at the root of many of the world's problems. So it is religion that has failed. It has divided our world, fomenting discrimination, superstition and even willful ignorance by fighting against the spread of useful scientific knowledge.
So stop blaming science for problems that have nothing to do with science but fall within the jurisdiction of morality, public policy, economics and religion. Stop trying to make a scapegoat out of science by your strawmanesque use of the term science.
the answer to this question is not that easy or obvious as you might think.
if your answer is "creationists" you are wrong, they are evolutionists a rare breed of evolutionists, but evolutionists at last .. at this stage of my argumentation you might think i have lost my mind for stating jehovahs witnesses are evolutionists, but this might be because you are thinking as the wt has taught you to think.
the wt has presented a distorted view of the theory of evolution.
They are linguistic creationists, re-creating the meanings of words to suit their own agenda as their doctrines evolve throughout overlapping generations.
