Enjoy Jonathan reading his book:

I am surprised too they allowed him to be in the WTS drama. I am not saying he is doing anything against the WT teaching, but ... it is strange, the Society is usually avoiding things like this. To be a freelance author is definitely not an usual occupation for JW.
Maybe in 2016 Serena Williams and Prince will play a pioneer couple in the new WTS video...

Know what's really funny?
Five years ago, I'd have said "no f**king way".
These days, though, I would put it past 'em, simply out of sheer desperation on their part.
Jonathan has a couple of vocal and gestural mannerisms that strike me as gay-ish. Even in the JW video, his head-tilt and eye movements could easily spin off into " Girlfriend!"
By contrast, the other JW male actor ( the one who depicts the hapless unbaptized brother trying but not succeeding in being "more spiritual") is just a regular, goofish guy.
But, I agree with others comments: The use of Jonathan in the JW org movie is an "interesting" choice. He clearly doesnt fit into the dull minded category necessary for "company" men who are guaranteed JW yes-men.
A sci-fi fan too. Hmmmmmmmmm. Surely not!
How many of these videos and dramas will the WT make.
They are all exactly the same.
I was that stupid when I was young, I really did think that we would live a life of serving Jehovah as a happily married couple until the first week after our wedding when I had to sit in the car for two hours waiting for my husband to get out of his elder's meeting. Than reality hit hard.
We never saw each other, pioneering was hell, everyone in the hall demanded everything from us, we had no life, we never saw each other. We or my husband I should say could never please anyone, I would get phone calls all the time demanding not asking but demanding that my husband come over to help them with what ever problem they had. It was all my husband's fault that their kids were not in the truth as it was his duty as an elder to see to it that the kids wanted to be a JW, or it was his fault that they had marriage problems, or what ever problem.
We never had money as we used every penny to pioneer.
None of the true problems of pioneering and living where the need was great were addressed in this video only that they fly off into the sunset to go to pioneer school. It was just a propaganda video painting a unrealistic view of a horrible life. I just really wish I could have a do over of my life, what I waste of my youth. I would tell anyone who would listen to RUN from this video.
LITS
It is indeed odd magotan...
The content of his story is odd. A "dystopian world where ones who disagree are mistreated"???!!! Wow, that's a little close to home....
Mind you, Prince spins off into very unjw "creativity" - and then comes right back to spout JW shit with not a hair out of place, doesn't he?.Look at the pagan "third"/mystical eye photo on his latest CD. This man is still a jw.
Perhaps as jw.org ages and aims for mainsteam acceptance, it becomes a bit more willfully blind to some of its members self-absorbed "eccentricities".
BTW, interesting the video portrays Jonathan as a photographer with his own business - he's not your usual dull-minded young jw male in a boring laboring job. Again, scriptwriters get away with more than your average jw would in their local congregation.
Good call on the coffee motif. I noticed that only after it was pointed out.
It is a staple during service. They need their caffeine infusion every hour or so
