Great thread OUTLAW. WT really are thriving since the rebranding, good point. Many current JWs have got motivated to do more and are more zealous than ever. This strategy has really worked well in WT's favour. I couldn't see it before.
But we mustn't forget that also due to really stupid doctrines, new thoughts, shunning and lack of love JWs are leaving. We need to be aware of jw.org success but also balance it with the fact that many are still waking up and leaving.

i was publicly reproved last year and the elders have taken their sweet time in reinstating my "privileges".
it's been six months and i can't answer at the meetings or participate in the theocratic ministry school.
in all honesty- i don't care about the privileges.
You say you don't want to be a JW anymore. That's a start, JWs leave for all sorts of reasons but leaving mentally and physically is not as easy as it seems. WT is a cult and the things you have been taught about Jehovah, Jesus, Armageddon and many more can stick with you your whole life. If you really want to leave the best things you can do are research from jwfacts.com and formulate your exit plan. Then once you leave you will be gone for good.
I am sorry the elders are treating you like dirt, I have been there, they don't listen to a word you say and just nit pick, how can they really be guided by holy spirit?
Take good care

I am not surprised at the response punk. But we cannot get too disheartened JWs are learning TTATT and leaving. More than just on JWN, they are leaving be cheerful.

there's an interest point raised by stephen letts at around the 7 minute mark of the intro video;.
much of the equipment used to build the studio was made available by donation.
he twice mentions (once at the start of the video) the need for "support", which we can assume means donations.
All about the money..........yep!!!!!!!!!.Kate xx
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.. .

Doesn't surprise me about the behind the scenes segment. They want to give the appearance of full transparency, I fell for it when I got baptised, but soon realised lots was covered up and fake. Kate xx
http://tv.jw.org/ is up and running.. see bro lett stumble his way through the introduction.
he really does have a good face for radio.. http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodmonthlyprogramming/pub-jwb_e_201410_1_video.
nice sweaty top lip at 15 mins onwards - the pressure is showing!!.
Rely on Jehovah is so vague it is meaningless.- Rattigan
LOL hahaha good point. Kate xx

I cant bring myself to listen to any of it I am afraid. Just too puke worthy. Kate xx
here it is folks, my prediction.
i predict that, soon, jw will launch their own social media website like facebook, to link up all the witnesses around the world.. .
.
Its really not that far fetched.- Theredeemer
LOL hahaha it's about as far fetched as a panda petting paradise, there are just too many ways for ones who know TTATT to infultrate something like this. The GB will not be able to make it apostate proof.

I can't see this happening, they have a website, but no where to post a message on a public board, there are plenty of FB pages that are for JWs though, but an official one won't happen because too many will vioce opinions that the GB want kept quiet, look at Wikapedia under Jehovah's Witnesses, loads of contraversial comments and apologists contradicting one another.

i cannot wrap my mind around the fact that there is jw tv.
being a born in and living most of my life hearing how tv evangelism is wrong and lazy preaching yet seeing this unfold solidifies this religion as a cult!.
i remember back when i began my fade a few years ago i told my brother during an argument how this religion is just like any other religion in that its bull.
This cult is now officially a social club.- Theredeemer
Yes I agree, and it's all about who has the most power in the KH, then your social standing increases exponentially with your power.
Dont be surprised if they make their own social media website. - Theredeemer
