Removed from JW.org: Interview w/Jared Kushner

wifibandit

In an earlier reddit post we discussed the possible role that Watchtower business associate and Trump son-in-law may play in a Trump White House; and if that meant that WT may have a friend with the president-elect's ear.

Now, thanks to a tip from /u/jpentrak, I've been alerted to the fact that Watchtower has removed the video News Update: Jehovah’s Witnesses Moving Forward. This video featured Jared Kushner speaking in glowing terms about WT personnel and how well maintained the buildings were by the organisation.

Despite claims in this same video that "We're not trapped in time" by Watchtower spokesman David A. Semonian, clearly they don't know that the internet never forgets.

Here is the URL of the removed page:

And here is the video, via YouTube:

The removal of this video is surprising because they made such fanfare over the Telly Awards they won, one of which was for this video:

won a 2015 Bronze Telly Award in the “Online Video News Feature” category

Perhaps they are not so proud of this "award" since John Redwood of www.jwsurvey.org posted an exposé showing Watchtower Purchases Telly Awards Statuettes and Publishes Phony Quote on JW.ORG? Perhaps now that Mr. Kushner is so involved in the Trump transition team they don't want to include him in their propaganda films?

What say YOU? Post comments below!

The video is all about Watchtower. Maybe now that Trump is in, this interview could "bring reproach upon Jehovah." That is there excuse for everything. I'm thinking it would bring tons of criticism for all the evil apostates, now that Trump is President elect.

Removing all evidence of 'eating and drinking' with the drunkards' (Matt. 24) does not change the facts.

Imperfect men may make mistakes but Jesus doesn't talk about a wicked slave as being forgiven.

haha interesting....

for context / background....

The original video and brief into text was posted by WT to the news section of their website on 3 October 2013 at:

http://www.jw.org/en/news/releases/by-region/united-states/video-jehovahs-witnesses-sale-brooklyn-move

This is the page and video that has now been removed....

BUT

The WT's news item regarding the infamous Telly Awards, posted on 7 March 2016 - is STILL ONLINE at

https://www.jw.org/en/news/releases/by-region/world/jehovahs-witnesses-receive-telly-awards/

You can find the above page two ways....

On jw.org, navigate using top menu items and click on 'NEWSROOM'
Then on the left-hand side menu, under 'NEWS RELEASES', click on 'BY REGION'
Right at the bottom, click on 'GLOBAL NEWS'
Currently the second item listed is the Telly Awards as per above

Or

Use an internet search engine like google and do the following search:
site:jw.org Jared Kushner

The text as it currently appears (18 November 2016) seems to be unaltered, just the text link to the actual page with the video has been removed.

WT still includes a picture of Jared Kushner and a brief quote from him.

Below are screen shots - link to full size images

The page (with the video file) that has now been removed:

The original of the page that still exisits showing the (now removed) web-link to the original news item and video as shown above

How are they moving out to reach ever more people ?

Are they now targeting Islamic religions ? Countries that are non christian religions for a change ? Saudia Arabia ? etc.

How about India , pakistan , Dhubai ,Indonesia ,Jordan ,Iran ,North Korea , mainland China ,just to mention a few.

Jehovahs Witnesses have been operating in the world for over 130 years , they have only made inroads in mainly established christian countrys already paved the way by christendom.centuries before.

What token influence they may have made in a few of these countries nowhere could be by any stretch of the imagination as being given a witness to these countries..

Why ? because it would only be in a small secluded area tolerating freedom of religion which does not extend to the rest of the country.

This kind of information is very interesting. Mr. Kushner is now the first advisor of the president.

From my growing perception the Watchtower organization is just like an other fully optimized USA corporation.

It's now all out in the open.
