I think the new brand represents desperation. They're seeing the numbers fall and the abundance of "apostate" information popping up on the internet. If I were on the inside, I would have been saying "It's about time they started working on the appeal of the organization OTHER than petting lions and seeing dead loved ones in the new system." I mean, they're finally working at making the org more appealing for children. However, they're still going to have difficulty when it comes to teenagers. What appeal does the org have for teenagers? There's no interesting music, no youth groups, no nothing. Teenagers are more likely to be the ones going on the internet and stumbling across things. Eventually, we may see more things that appeal to that age group.

I enjoy listening to Led Zeppelin recordings from when they were in their heyday. The reunions have been awful and their individual solo albums have generally been disappointing.

Randy Bchman
by berrygerry inas a kid, my fave band was bto (bachman turner overdrive).
randy bachman (a somewhat devout mormon) was the driving force.
randy had separated from the guess who (american woman, these eyes, no sugar tonight).

I saw him with Turner about 4 years ago. I didn't like very many of BTO's recordings, but when they played that stuff live, damn did it ever sound good! I mean, it sounded WAY BETTER than the studio recordings. The best thing he could do is record a live album, and as far as I know he hasn't.

Apple Cider Vinegar
by poppers ini've been drinking 1 tbs with a glass of water twice daily for digestion for about 3 weeks now.
i've found it helps, but it also acts as an appetite suppressant; i've lost several pounds since using it.
i'm consuming fewer calories because i'm just not as hungry as before.

The stuff is like a miracle cure for all kinds of things, and it's dirt cheap! I've used it to get rid of warts and to knock out acid reflux

What? Did I hear this correctly?
My mother's a die hard and will probably never leave, but she thinks the rebranding is a bad idea. She was even disgusted when I showed her the picture of the assembly hall.
I can't help but wonder how many other JWs feel this way.

JW.ORG signs on Assembly Hall
by Nosferatu inwhat the hell is going on here?
i drove past the assembly hall today and noticed the square blue jw.org signs on the building.
coupled with the steel gate that keeps worldlings out, it really looks quite cultish.. so is that the new name for the kingdom halls or something?

Cable vs the Antenae tower
by Quarterback ini kind of wanted to know if some have made this transition from escaping the satellite/cable monopoly to the large antenaes that require no monthly bills.
does it work?
is there a good quality such as hi def?

I have an antenna on my roof and get 6 local channels with it. I also have a Free To Air satellite dish up there as well (Ku Band) but I've got a 12" dish I wanna set up since the C-band stuff is better. I have a PC in the living room to record stuff, and I watch Youtube on it as well. I tried the Netflix thing, but there just isn't enough decent stuff on there for my liking, plus I don't watch TV all that often. There's lots of free TV out there if you fork out some cash for the equipment.

Haven't had a chance to stop by and take a pic yet. Didn't want to do it on Sunday because it just looks so much scarier when it's unoccupied. I'll try and get around to it today

So I found the original thread about this:
I mean, it SERIOUSLY looks like an scary institution. I figured it would be in the WT's best interest to make themselves look more friendly and inviting instead of an evil prison. But I must say it's quite fitting. Perhaps I'll drive by and take a picture later today
