@Kendra33235566 @Larchwood20 They are releasing a new GB update on Friday and Larchwood is going to brief us on some NuLite from that update.

@lloydevansXJW Great Scott! This is heavy!

[Arthur Weber @arthurwweber]

@lloydevansXJW @raahford74 He obviously wants to split the bundle of printed brochures that come as perks with his pledge—some copies shipped to a different address than the others.

@pimitopomo @Larchwood20 The HTML code on https://t.co/ENvBhyz8a2 has all thumbnails via https://t.co/3AQxwEkDec. The Akamai links—which the JW-CDN URLs internally point to—return the media earlier than their JW-CDN counterparts. The Amazon Cloudfront URLs also have been replaced with JW-CDN.

[Arthur Weber @arthurwweber]

@pimitopomo @Larchwood20 Yeah, that was my cue too... and no thumbnail from 40 to 45 exists yet. Sam Herd's thumbnail (39) from Update #6 can be accessed both on old style (Akamai subdomain) and new style links (their own cms-imgp[dot]jw-cdn[dot]org domain).

@Larchwood20 Publication mnemonic will be probably wcg, as it returns "Not Found" (instead of "Bad Request" for invalid mnemonics).

@pimitopomo @brain_terrible I've had two pioneer sisters knock on my door this morning during a house-to-house round. It's campaign month with the Watchtower on wars so they might do more H2H during campaigns (e.g. Memorial, conventions).

[Arthur Weber @arthurwweber]

@lastdayslance @Larchwood20 Lance, tomorrow we'll get David Splane hosting GB Update #5... with some new and exciting announcements!

[Arthur Weber @arthurwweber]

@lloydevansXJW Actually you might have also had 5.25-inch floppy disks as well.

@Larchwood20 I see it as a dirty marketing strategy, just like scrapping "disfellowship". However "not saying a greeting" in the Johannine letter is to all intents and purposes the Scriptural euphemism for "shunning". The psychological impact remains regardless of the word they use.

[Arthur Weber @arthurwweber]

@Larchwood20 Shunning apostates is not entirely overlooked in the updated FAQ article, it's specified in the last footnote: "In extreme cases ... we follow the Bible's command not to 'say a greeting.'" Obviously they want people to think that shunning is an extreme exception.

[Arthur Weber @arthurwweber]

@Mark_J_ODonnell Oh, stay strong, Mark! So infuriating that JWs (most probably with the blessing of WHQ) go this far to protect their despicable asses! My heart goes out to you! You are hero in fighting against their heinous routine of covering up CSA! 👏

[Arthur Weber @arthurwweber]

@Balcacer_JRC @Larchwood20 Beards were not a thing in early 2023 when that morning worship was recorded ;) Bad joke, I know :P

[Arthur Weber @arthurwweber]

@jfnilsen Amazing work, Jan! We are so grateful for your fearless contribution to the community!

[Arthur Weber @arthurwweber]

@jfnilsen @Larchwood20 Good luck, Jan! Do your best!! 🤗

@umudesam @pimitopomo Usually magazines are printed about a month before having the PDF and JWPUB released online. It's not unusual for a congregation to receive the magazine in hard copy before being able to download it.

[Arthur Weber @arthurwweber]

@RainyThorsday @Ron_POMO @KitsuneFantomu It is sharp. The magazines for the public had a 90M+ print run per issue in 2020, now a mere 25M.

[Arthur Weber @arthurwweber]

@Ron_POMO @KitsuneFantomu Actually it's 416 pages. 32 pages are the two magazines for the public, but there are the 12 study Watchtowers, 32 pages each.
