tv.jw.org Female Presenters?

Forget the token respect that the Watchtower Society shows to women mainly in just words. Yesterday's Watchtower study article is an example: Feel good words about how much women are valued, while at the same time the reality is that they can never hold positions of authority.

A woman can never be a ministerial servant, elder, circuit overseer, co-ordinator of the body of elders, zone overseer, governing body helper etc etc.

In Watchtower land women aren't supposed to have instructional roles. With that being said.

Do you think there will be segments hosted / narrated by females? If not, how do you think the outside world will view that backward state of affairs?

I noticed that as well!

Stephen Lett is so mechanical and surely makes allot of mistakes. The extreme gestures and wide eyed expressions remind me of this guy!

dear brothers:.

re: personal literature supply.

reducing existing stock at the branch office before the revisions are released.
jw07

They are PURGING old literature that doesn't match up with the current teachings. Some posters here predicted this some months ago with everything going towards being website based. In a few years they will point to the website only for research. Only 'apostates' will be hording literature at home. Information on the website can be changed instantly and unless the society tells them otherwise they will believe that they always believed a particular teaching. Expect this drive to get rid of certain material to last for a good while, or at least until they are satisfied that enough copies have been brought in to reduce points of reference for most JWs.

What the hell is this? Reminds me of an Amway convention.

This is so scripted, normally anyone with a camera and microphone is turned away from the venue for fear of being an evil, fire-breathing apostate. Someone pulled some strings to get this psuedo journalist to feature the convention in such detail.

Paranoia of today's WT study!
by stuckinarut2 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
the wt study for sept 7th just breeds such a spirit of paranoia!.

using old biblical references just so as to prevent anyone from using critical thinking skills and analysing the "truth".. then using incorrect, leading reasoning to paint any who "think outside of the box" of the org as "apostate".... pure manipulation!.
jw07

Look at the photo of the drones singing on page 28!!!

That just makes my skin crawl.

Completely under the control of many pages of Watchtower indoctrination while believing that they have their own ideas.
