It must be of concern to the GB with all the information that is been leaked now

by joe134cd in

i was just watching cedars prank call to tomo3.

by the way lloyd very well done and totally funny.

but on a more serious note (and i think what must be of concern to the gb) are the amount of leaks that must be occurring at a senior level or at least by a person who has access to sensitive information.

village idiot: In my opinion t's best not to mention this too much because they might read it and be provoked into starting a witch hunt in Bethel.

Village Idiot, (in my opinion) each and every word posted on this site is read by someone within the WTS 'power circle', or, at the very least, by someone appointed to do so.

gda: it would be great if leaks at the senior level were one of the GB's.

Now, there is a possibility that could be believable. Every group of people has dissenters - those who have less power than others are vulnerable to submitting to subversive tactics to get to the top of the pile. Every board of directors in the corporate world has those who are jealous and competitive for power. I don't think the GB are immune to corporate jealousy. They are only human, after all.

And I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the holy ones and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus.

True that.

The WTS has been drinking blood for the past 70 years.

JWs are so terrified of dying that they are too scared to live.

Spain: Condemned the perpetrators of the pyramid scam 700 Jehovah's Witnesses

by JHK in

google translation:.

condemned the perpetrators of the pyramid scam 700 jehovah's witnesses.

barcelona, february 6.

vidiot: JWs are particularly susceptible to MLMs and pyramid schemes, in my observation.

It is the JWs obssesion with 'approved' health care options that make them particularly vulnerable to those who seek to profit from the WTS' twisted policies about blood and other misguided notions about medical science.

from the article:

The network operated by the Rural societies New Life and Mutual Life Mas, who justified their existence with healthcare policies where doctors "noninvasive" treatments are guaranteed, which was key to attract Jehovah's Witnesses.

Who Is Engineering the Re-branding of Jehovahs Witnesses

by millie210 in

is it an outside source?.

an inside job?

maybe the younger gb "helpers"?.

Giordano: Here's the real reason they are making all of these changes and who they are starting to look a lot like.
The GB was holding a closed door meeting when an assistant ran into the room. "There's a phone call one of you have to take...... it's a good news bad news kind of thing."
"What's the good news?"
"Jesus is on the phone and wants to talk to you....he's come back!"
"Outstanding!!! But what is the bad news?"
"He's calling from Salt Lake City!"

Frankie Wellman, owner of Netholics (and meekspace), lives in Salt Lake City.

Amazing find Orphan Crow, Since they were formed in 2014 they either are not the sole source of help, OR they formed a company after helping at Headquarters. This could be significant.

Thanks Millie. Yeah, I found the Frankie connection several months ago. At one time, Meekspace was quite different. He had plans to put up another site called meektube But then, jw..org happened and meektube never really launched.

JW..org launched in August 2014 - the timing of Frankie's media company start up is convenient.

The WTS wouldn't have to look far for professional re-branding companies to do their dirty work for them.

Netholics is a company that does re-branding and it is owned by a JW named Frankie Wellman. (Frankie owns Meekspace)http://www.meekspace.org/

Netholics started up in March 2014.

Happy at Bethel - Confirmation that it's Official?

by jw07 in

i just came across this photo regarding the 'happy at bethel' video.

seems like confirmation of co-ordination by higher ups.

link - happy at bethel email photo.

OrphanCrow

cappy: It must have been for Family Night (Bethel Talent Show) or for delegate entertainment program for the International Convention back in the Summertime. Those are the only logical explanations, if this letter is to be believed.

There is a discussion about the Happy video on JWtalk.net.

http://jwtalk.net/forums/topic/19069-happy-start-your-day-off-right/

According to one poster, the video was made for Bethel Talent Night.

Bethelites made this video as part of Bethel's annual talent night. The disapproval is coming from the fact that something made privately for the Bethel family was posted online for world wide consumption. Any other speculation about this video is just speculation.
Was the video from the FDS? No. All videos from the branch will appear on JW Broadcasting, not YouTube or some 3rd party. Just because something isn't from the branch doesnt mean it is wrong to watch or else all of us would be in trouble.
This is another good lesson about conscience. Even Bethelites in good standing at Bethel may choose music that we would avoid.
Really, the only music and videos that are not produced by immoral people or by people completely free from worldly influence is on JW Broadcasting. If you look hard enough at worldly entertainers I'm sure you will find worldly thinking, connections to Christendom, acceptance of lifestyles contrary to Jehovah, and so forth.

iWitnesses?

by cappytan in

campaign of hate said this on another thread:.

they are quite clearly trying to copy the business model of apple.

it reminds me of the 2013 agm when they had an apple style technology section, focusing on the new jw apps.

DOC: How does anyone that successful (and probably educated) get caught up in a cult like this?

Successful people are those who learn to take advantage of opportunity. The WTS has plenty of opportunity for those who want to take a trip to the top. The WTS is a prime target for those who are adept at money manipulations.

Someone like this Apple/WTS dude doesn't have to 'believe' in 'God' - they believe in money.

"Filthy rich" often translates into "con man".

Good Netflix shows to watch

by Simon in

in the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).

house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.

I just watched the first two episodes of Dicte. (subtitled)

The lead is cast as a woman who was raised a Jehovah's Witness. She gave birth as a teen and was forced to give up her baby. She returns to her home town as an adult and works as an investigative reporter.

The scenes with her mother and father shunning her are well done.

The trailer shows a brief clip of Dicte tearing the letters off the Kingdom Hall.

Good series.
