I will summarize the videos here:
First video:
Man and girl informs person that awake is available in many languages. The person says he used to spend hours writing a single SMS in french. Girl tells him a footnote in revelation says "language". Presumably, he is immediately convinced and a bible study is started.
Second video:
Husband and wife offers platitudes about marriage to a woman. Wife says she used to get angry, but she noticed the bible told her not to and so stopped. Fade to black. Moral: Don't get angry
Third video:
Young woman shows old man two scriptures relating to Gods kingdom. In a footnote to Isiah 9.6 the word "government" is used. She will return with her husband later to show more footnotes.

BTW, the video made the frontpage of Jerry Coynes blog:

"The Disney-esque production belies a message of pure bigotry:"
Is any of you responsible?
Hopefully it will make it to mainstream news.

Appropriately racially ambiguous mom: "What can you say to Carrie?"
Sophia: "Jehovah will soon turn our moms into birdfood?"
WT Lawyer: "No no Sophia, not THOSE animals"
It is so goofy and out of touch I can hardly take it seriously as anti-gay material.
Nice job, WT, this will go down reeeeeally well in the western world.

I have long been trying to form an opinion on The Gay marrying. After seeing this totally-for-humans-with-a-brain video I finally realize gay marriage is like bringing a can of soda into the airport.
The Gays are literally trying to bring a too large bottle of shampoo into paradise. I for one appreciate Jehovah magnificent body scanner and strong hands and fingers that will grope and prod me to ensure I do not blow up the new system with any Gay.
Thank you, Jehovah, and the seven fuckwits. I hope future videos will explain to me how I brush my teeth.

since i have left the watchtower's dung behind, reading and learning has accelerated at an unbelievable pace for me.

i am sure that is true for most here.

i have always been a big time reader.

Liberator said: Bart Ehrman is another one. By means of careful words he misleads people to draw a conclusion that simply isn't true. It might be technically true,
...but really inconvenient?

so there was a mention yesterday about "next year's" branch visit and this being streamed.. is there a chance these will become the new regional convention?

consider the evidence:.

- branches being closed down or downsized.

as nowwhat? and sir82 says, as long as they make money they will stay. However in countries where they don't make a profit I could absolutely see it happening...
In this scenario, where would they get baptized?

It's definitely a huge step up in production, but some of the scenes looked fake even in the fast-cut trailer. I still have high hopes a GB-approved script will make it utter shit :-)
Wonder if any part of it will be so WTF it will become meme-worthy?
