  Just to be clear. My reading of this is that no printing will be done in the UK. It will be done in Germany and sent to the UK for distribution to the local congregations. Have I understood it correctly?

  I'd love to say it's punishment for the constant aloofness of the British bethel heavies and the resulting poor relationship with the US but I think it's just economics given the contraction of the WTBTS as a printing organisation. It makes more sense to have one super branch in Europe and it makes sense for that to be centrally located.

  Keep going Wifi. The mere fact that every bit of video the org produces is being leaked and put out for the world to see is fantastic!

  Southampton. The Dell. Late 80s, early 90s.

  One convention we had a bloke run on to the pitch and streak naked until being rugby tackled by an attendant. And no, that's not a euphemism.

  Same place, same time period. A sister mixed her words up in an interview and said shit.

  For us teenagers sunning ourselves on tepee south stand it was pure comedy gold.

  "Life is so hard!...tribulation and problems abound!" Persecution complex of witnesses.....

  the meeting this week is mind-blowing in the way it fuels the crippling "persecution complex" of witnesses!.

  paragraph 1 set the theme with this gem:.

  does it shock you that you can expect to face many tribulations before you gain the prize of everlasting life?

  There was some discussion here in the past that a brother based, as I recall, in Hawaii who ran an animation business was producing them but my understanding from a family member in Bethel is that they are 100% produced in house. I don't recall seeing any corroborating information however

  Wild speculation / fearless prediction: how to (continue to) ratchet up the flock's fear

  by sir82 in

  i've been thinking: what with all the bunker videos at the rc, instilling fear and paranoia and excitement among the masses, what could the gb do as a follow-up?

  how do they feed the flame?.

  how about identifying the "king of the north"?.

  It's an interesting theory and I would say holds significantly more water than them announcing the start of the GT.

  Having said that, I would ask why bother? Right now the org has the R&F running around like headless chickens trying to keep up with all the changes they keep pushing through. The videos at the RC are designed to build expectation, fear, speculation and so on.

  Simply put, they don't need to say anything. The R&F are making it up themselves so why bother putting themselves directly on the line by making definitive statements that could expose them further down the line?
