JWs and the Internet

by JW_Researcher in

i posted the question below but it may have gotten lost in the shuffle.

nina indicated that the jws have been "instructed" not to use the internet.

my understanding was that they were to use caution.

I posted the question below but it may have gotten lost in the shuffle.

Nina indicated that the JWs have been "instructed" not to use the Internet. My understanding was that they were to use caution. I could be out of date, however.

Does anyone have a reference for this "instruction" not to use the Internet?

Thank you.

1. Why would the WT put on a demo showing that their own members utilize the internet when they've instructed them not to?

Nina,

JWs are not to use the internet to pay bills, etc.?

Do you have the reference for that instruction?

Please and thank you.
2. The JW on the demo directly addresses Satan. That's "spiritism"!
It is not a direct address (although it may seem on a literal level to be so). It is a soliloquy .

does anyone have a link to the 17 volume epiphany studies in the scriptures publications?

they are published (evidently) by the layman's home missionary movement.

i did find this link (http://www.epiphanystudies.co.uk/form1.htm) but it is in uk and i was looking for something in the us....although that will work if nothing else is available.

Thanks again.

For History Buffs--Photo Drama of Creation Sequence?

by cabasilas in

i just obtained a cd of movies and slides of the photo-drama of creation.

it has movies of russell talking and some movies of bible themes.

then there's a narrated slide presentation that appears to match the text of the photo drama book.

I have a chapter in PDF (893kb) that examines the Photo-Drama as a propaganda piece:

I wrote this in an old paper:

"The production ran a total of eight hours and was shown in four different two-hour parts."

"Arguably one of the first motion pictures with sound, The Photo-Drama of Creation was a unique combination of a silent motion picture and still pictures synchronized with recorded lectures. Some of the sequences involved time-lapse photography. The content outlined history from God’s creation of the earth to the end of the millennium. All seats were free of charge. The production ran a total of eight hours and was shown in four different two-hour parts. There were twenty sets of the four-part presentation that enabled the presentation to be viewed in 80 different cities on one day. This required much organization as halls had to be rented, the presentation advertised, etc. The
