Magnum this is for congregations only. A couple months ago I posted audio only of the Detroit international convention video that was shown during local needs. the video was shot in the same exact format. It highlighted how great Detroit was and how the governing body cares about our cars. It emphasized that Detroit is safe. It featured shots of Ford Field, and showed a group of pretend delegates arriving at the convention and using all the facilities ammenities. These videos are only for the congregations and were not meant to be posted to social media sites like YouTube. it was posted without authorization. the purpose of these videos is to encourage friends to listen obey and be blessed. They are catching a lot of flak from friends who don't want to attend conventions in dangerous cities like Detroit, or who think the governing body's instructions on public transportation use are patently absurd. They are trying to hype up the conventions to the witnesses. worldly people don't give a a flying you know what about the convention.

The video was likely for congregations only. The organization will remove any material they haven't authorized for the public. trust me the video is 100% goverming body approved.

a congregation of 110+ publishers will be contributing only $200 a month to the society in the new kingdom hall construction arrangement.
that's less than $2 a publisher!

Besides the Catholic Church Judaism and Islam, all organizations eventually fail. The US financial crisis saw the death of several landmark institutions. Hitler and Napoleon fell. Russia fell. The Borg will eventually fail as well or change so much as to be completely un recognizable.

Wing commander your post is excellent sir. I'm also a big time lifter. I hated convention days. No mid morning snack. I needed my Greek yogurt and fruit at 10:30 am.

wow! These guys don't believe the end is coming. But they do love controlling people and wasting their gas. I guess the direction to drive all the way to the other side of the city to take the Marta is the direction that is "unsound from a strategic standpoint." All the good JWs will believe they're pleasing Jehovah. I'm embarrassed to at one time have been under the influence of such brainwashing.
im also a minority. I dont want to turn this into a racial thing. I'll just say that im not surprised the video featured minorities prominently. As usual they're the ones told to obey and be blessesed. Guess what color the friends were who told the GB they were not going to the Detroit convention, which necessitated the propaganda video? Yes white. The white friends are usually the "rebels" and apostates because they are usually better educated and independent. As the org becomes more cult like it reminds me of how some cults like Jim jones are more attractive to minorities. i just got creeped out by a bunch of black brothers and a Hispanic family talking about how to please and obey the nearly all white governing body, with their creepy picture included.
also a further rewrite of JW history. So apparently the JWs had a governing body in 1919. As Dwight from The Office would say "False!" They are determined to work the governing body teaching in.

The WTS iS not run by the GB. Thry are mascots. Would anyone want Anthony Morris or Lett running their business. after they booted Franz and Milton G, the show has been run by the corporations. Of course these letters come from the "governing body" but it's not their ideas. I think this change is to prevent old geezers from messing things up. Better to get a younger ambitious company man to serve as COBE. They apparently don't view grey headedness as a crown of beauty. Firing old people and kicking them out of the circuit work. I guess old people are a liability.

Hey friendaroonie, how are JWs going to surpass Mormons when their froth rate is already decLining? I try to deal with facts here. According to their own numbers the peak memorial attendance was in 2011. They have yet to match that number again in 3 years. Yea real explosive growth. The membership is aging and they cannot recruit. they will linger for years to come, but their heyday is passed unless they come up with a new message, or a new global disaster happens.
