i was thinking that maybe the monthly broadcasts are a occasion for some jw's to wake up.
before those broadcasts they probably imagined that the gobgoverning y members are some very special peopleand that you see in their behavior and words that they are "chosen".
but now all jw's can see them for who they really are: average men, some full of themselves, some ridiculous, some just normal men with nothing special.
My thought is, that the GB selects a theme for the monthly broadcast and connects it with "send monetary contributions, spend more time in the ministry".
Theme-mercy
Application-" send monetary contributions, spend more time in the ministry".
Theme-persecution
Application-" send monetary contributions, spend more time in the ministry".
according to the august jw broadcast the new britian branch is scheduled to open by december 31, 2019 and is currently the 2nd largest construction project (assuming warwick is the largest).
are the current facilities that spread out that a more centalized location the main reason for acquiring and developing an 85 acre site?
also, with the end looming on the horizon, what message does that send regarding making long-term plans?

Comments, please from those who live in the UK or are familiar with London Bethel. The property in question is in Chelmsford. What kind of area is this? Judging from the broadcast it seems very barren, with few trees (is this due to nuclear or chemical waste deposits?)
i usually open posts such as this one with disclaimer for the atheists/agnostics out there.
i respect your position and what i tried to do in posts like this one is discuss the bible, wether you believe the stories or not.. i believe it is well known that in jw doctrine it is thought that no one has ever seen god.
this teaching is also supplemented by the accounts of moises, where jehovah told him that no one can see him and yet live to tell the tale.. i, however, was always puzzled by some of the grammar in the bible where it seems to imply that god appeared to people.
so i got coerced into watching this crap last night.
a few observations:.
1) it personified the witness mantra that doing more for the org = happiness, doing not enough = misery.

Morph: "but they almost glorified a minimum wage job."
Come on, Starbucks actually has a starting wage higher than minimum wage and offer health benefits. You can't blame spiritually minded witnesses for going for these acceptible entry-level jobs, especially when they allow time off for meetings and conventions.
All in all, this video is a showcase for the warped view of reality that WT promotes. BTW, I think the witness "bad girl" is kinda hot.
mr. jackson, we have heard testimony from mr spinks and mr. obrien that women will never have leadership positions in the congregation.
as i understand it mr. jackson, you interpret revelation 7 to mean that only 144,000 will go to heaven and that these 144,000 will rule the earth.
i also understand that your organization teaches that women are part of this "remnant" of 144,000. can you explain why jesus christ is willing to put women in leadership over the entire earth but you are not willing to permit them to have anything to do with helping victims of pedophiles in your congregation?
i had this said to me the other day by a jw who is fully brain washed.
it gave me shivers to think is that really how the r&f perceive the gb?
what question would you ask geoffrey jackson, as a member of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, to answer?

jw leaks.
there once was a man from down under,who's speech was thought of like thunder,.
but when pops came dow ill,.
geoff flew in with a pill.

Love it, keep those verses coming:
There once was a man from Tuxedo,
who claimed to abhor sins like paedo.
