message from designer stubble to the former jwr members.
first of all i am glad to see that many of you have found your way to this great forum, facilitated by simon.
i am sure that after the dust of the jwr shutdown has settled, you will find this to be a good new home.. i would like to apologize for the sudden closure of jwr.

everything that is done at the midweek meeting can now be done at home.
the videos are online, the first talk is scripted, the bible highlights are scripted.
you could get the same experience by just reading and watching the material from your tablet.
Are there no comments and answering up any more?
i was a younger dub at the time of this release, and stopped watching this movie near its beginning, when john cleese was stoned with the huge rock for saying jehovah.. this was despite having been (and continuing to be) a major john cleese (and monty python) fan.. any fans of this film?.
I'm not
without a lot of fanfare, the much anticipated "research guide" has been released.. to view it:.

click on publications.
What's the comparison?
according to market analysis, the e-book market has taken a dip in 2015. because companies that publish e-books can (and do) monitor the use of the e-books materials they release, not only their sales but the individual e-book’s use gets tracked.
companies like amazon and kobo as well as nielsen book research in the uk all report that while the format remains popular, sales have dipped more than a quarter last year in some places like britain, and that hard copies of books still are preferred.. amazon (u.s.a.) sales figures give an example of how things are working on the world scene.
for instance non-fiction hard copy printed books sales (including religion) made up a healthy 42% of their purchased books in 2015. in the same category, however, e-books made up only 6% of the sales.. kobo monitored its e-book sales and found that 60% of the electronic versions never even got opened.
Yes I guess so, the branch closures have been going on for years now.
But the sudden cancellation of projects and appeals for funds last year was something else.

I don't know that it's planned. Announcing lots of building projects, then cancelling them, selling buildings and closing branches abruptly, doesn't seem very planned to me. It seems to me they had an unexpected financial crisis of some sort last year.
The withdrawal from publishing has been longer term. It started in the late 1990s when they began to phase out hardbacks and has continued ever since.
hey simon, .
the recent closure of jwr made me realize that this site may not be eternal as well.
a great deal of people attach a lot of importance to xjw communities and yours is the best.

This is a very true analysis. The Watchtower is getting out of books because there is no profit in them any more since they can no longer charge for them. This has much more to do with their switch to digital than general trends of media consumption. As you say physical books remain popular. They're just not so popular with the WT because they can't charge for them.

Not sure what lucrative manoeuvre is involved, but I like the sound of preserving images for prosperity. ;-)

I thought it said Incontinentia Bucket. Not Buttocks. Have always wondered about that. Still not the best joke.
