I too was shocked by the porn ok, no field report, not ok. One of my awakening milestones had to do with a similar situation. During a meeting with all the male publishers, they defined a mature christian (referring as to who could have privileges in the cong) as someone who would always underline the magazine weekly. This was despite having a better answer by another brother who said "someone who guides his life by bible principles"

The Org is terrified of apostates
by SecretSlaveClass ini knew apostasy was a serious concern for the org, but until i watched this video, i had no idea how afraid they actually were.
all this guy wants is to do is not turn in his fs hours and immediately they (elders) set about drilling him about who are what influenced his decision, as if he was incapable of making his own (which as the elders confirm, in the org is highly discouraged).
they are convinced he has been communicating with apostates or visiting apostate web sites.

LOL John! Hang in there. There is one thing that I learned from Combating Cult Mind Control. Mr Hassan says one great thing there. True love will always win!
Hope to one day be able to post my story. Not only is not as JW heavy as others here, but right now it would give me away very easily if anyone from my area is lurking around here.

DirectTV is available in many countries, sometimes under different brands. Even then, the distribution network and the satellite feeds are not always part of the same company. Canada may turn a bit more difficult because of location. TV sats are geostationary, which means they fly over the equator line. The further you go north or south, the weaker the signal gets, to the point where service becomes increasingly difficult. Other than that, there is not much of a geographical limitation or border that can dictate wether the service is accessible. -

In my case there are two days that can not be compared and both stand at the bests and that is the day my children were born. Never have I felt what I felt in every one of those days.
As far as the worst, is the first time my wife and I had an argument over this bullshit cult. Thankfully it seems to have subsided over the past 2 years but that first day was a nightmare that lasted all day. Even thought the actual argument only took about 2 hours.

Ok, I have my money on what Cappytan said. Since we are all speculating here. And I will give a background as to why is possible.
JW Broadcasting was a pilot. Pilot is over and is now permanent. Meaning that in order to reach everyone they need to become the next Netflix. Not economically possible if you are not charging a service fee. Even netflix manages to do this but is not easy. Their network had to be engineered over years, just to support the streaming part, let alone producing the content. I know, I am about to get a Netflix appliance in my network to save streaming costs and I usually talk Netflix engineers at network conferences.
Reaching a household in this fashion, not only will mean a huge infrastructure investment but also means you have to push the viewer to want it so bad they are willing, not just to buy a device, but also learn how to use it. Not everyone is up to speed with technology, especially in JW land and not everyone around the world can get the tech or cheap internet to watch it.
If they manage to put it on the air, chances are the audience will probably increase almost immediately. I know my mother in law would probably turn that channel on all day long. Good thing I don't have cable. Besides this, DirectTV and Dish have other programs for selling. As an internet provider, if you want to offer triple play service (Data, voice and video) but your network can not support the video portion (IPTV), DirectTV and I believe DISH too, offer a partnership program. You do the sales and billing, they do the support and you collect a portion of the revenue. Sounds like something the WT would want? I know my employer is considering getting into that program. Not difficult at all. Imagine the next letter to the congregations? Buy DirectTV at a discount, get JW live! What a blessing from Jehovah! you can help the world wide work while watching your favorite TV shows !!
And if the channel is on DTV... are you not able to stream it to any of your devices? Not sure because I do not have their service. I cut the cord a long time ago. But if so, what better way to off load your network than to have DTV do it for you?

Being a world wide religion, they do not have to put a whole lot of content. They can just re run whatever they have. Different languages and different content based on location. I used to toy with FTA TV and I've seen some middle eastern channel (talk about indoctrination) where the same old man talks all day in the same channel, 24/7.
They make it sound so huge. I work for an internet company and we have our own TV studio. It only took 5 people to put it together. Now if you count all the "servants" that bring coffee for the GB and fan air on them.

He probably wowed everyone with the IPTV lingo. 20 years from now they will say they brought IPTV to the world.
Cap, having IPTV would make it very easy for them to beam the feed to a satellite. You can begin to appreciate how much they needed that deal with QCS Telecom.

We are celebrating b-day tonight!
by StarTrekAngel innot that we have not done it before, but the event would come about out a mutual understanding.
never a word or any more than just "we are going out to dinner".
the news this time is that my wife, out of her own initiative, suggested this morning that we should go out and celebrate our daughters b-day.

LOL. Not only we had ice cream, it was an ice cream cake!. It actually went better than I thought. My wife even chastised my older daughter for not having wished her sister her happy bday. Totally unexpected.
On top of that, we are going to pokemon fest this weekend at a local convention center
