Anyone watch the May JW Programming ep starring a Rolex & 2 rings - one a thick nug of gold cradling what looks like a fat faceted emerald chonk & another platinum band outlined by more gold? What in God’s name are they doing? Srsly. This is INSANE!!

Jody Jedele’s pallid visage, dull personality and bespoke suit clad upper torso makes a cameo, all mere bit parts as extras - but we all know who the star is (stars are✨⌚️💍🌟✨) in this episode! lol barf.

I was watching ExJWAnalyzer’s video from earlier today and I HAD to slow the thing down, put it in 1080HD res, zoom in and take screen shots because I can’t even with this pharisiacal bullshit.

I worded my intro post the way I did because it is so glaringly obvious that Jody Jedele or someone up at HQ wanted to make absolutely sure all those expensive jewels were not dared to be ignored by the audience.

The Rolex or whatever it is wasn’t tastefully and discreetly under the cuff of the news anchor celebrity’s hand tailored coat, as is usually the case, so this month’s episode lends itself to a less challenging game for us out here to play, “What the nouveau riche wealth display and authority /elite status signaling kind of watch IS he wearing?!?!??”

No sneaky peeky teasing this time, tho. This smug, pallid, and grey goateed real estate whiz turned cult news anchor celebrity was outshined a millions times over (not a difficult task lol) by this flagrant display of these chonks of gold rings and thee finest of name brand timepieces.

(Although, if you know a bit about watches, there are way more exclusive makers that aren’t well known. Maybe not even as expensive because they don’t have an huge advertising budget and models to pay for.

Rolex is the brand everyone knows whether or not you have money, so wearing one ensures that people poorer than you will know you’ve got an expensive watch on - and that shows they have power over you. As well as $20k to throw away on a thing that is ONLY a STATUS AND WEALTH SYMBOL IN THE AGE OF EVEN THE POOREST OF PPL HAVING A PHONE/camera-video and music studio and player, access to every book in every library ever - even theirs teehee, a place you can buy anything, a weather station, a pedometer, a virtual college and everything else. Oh. And a watch. A timepiece. Haha. See, a Rolex or whatever that is only a symbol of how HE CHOSE to spend what…$10k? $20k?

But here’s this new guy, brandishing about - doing the same old awkwardly, iuanthenticly gesticulating hand and entire arm movements - but this time he’s also getting in some cardio and weight training in on the job because of this array of gold baubles he’s doing reps with.

If that’s an emerald, I still gotta find out how much one of those rocks cost at that size - and clarity (look at it when the light catches it - ooh!!)

Also, I may be mistaken, but it looked like he went from one position at the news anchor desk to another, so the studio lights would catch even more sparkles from all his fabulous nouveau riche signifiers.

And then the god damn desk surface - so you see see all the jewels perfectly mirrored!?!?!

I swear to God, this has to be …what? Them TRYING to get ppl to wake up. Like, I can’t even …🤢🤑

I have to finish watching the episode- thanks Jon for your tireless investigative work and research and making videos like these so I don’t have to expose myself to the crap my PIMI fam is subjected to, but can still get an idea of what that consists of. Ughghhhh.

Haven’t seen this asked here yet, so maybe I missed it.

But yeah. The GB apparently wants the JWs of Brazil - the very sisters and brothers of the victim and survivor of this horrific crime - to pay for THEIR (the GB’s) damaging pdfile protections.

Of course, those old smug, doughy faced, (mostly) white misogynist pigs would never pay $100 million of their “own” money to a South American woman when that $100 mil could be used to buy several new resorts and movie studio compounds.

Pfft.

Thoughts?

I haven’t yet seen the new Jesusflix eps but a post here mentioned a scene wherein people are shown to be demonized or possessed. So the org wrote this scene, casted it, and directed/filmed it. What the hell are they doing?!?!

The mere fact that they even make these videos is insane and adding to the word, it’s denying ppl from using their own imagination for what Bible characters and events looked like and force the image in the minds of the producers of these stupid, pointless, shameless TV shows.

Do you realize how much is going on behind the scenes and off screen in a production like this? All the pre and post production that takes all kinds of scheduling and coordination - and it looks like they’re really trying for the Cult Academy Awards for color grading because it seems like that’s the main focus and thing that makes these somewhat “impressive” to someone who’s not questioning the fact that they even make this indoctrination crap.

Aren’t these all basic Bible stories that everyone knows and doesn’t need to see it presented like a Temu Netflix series, with a handsome hunky leading man and whatever else is going on in them?

I really hate that they made these videos and chose a sexy, tall, muscular actor with impeccable manscaping when the Jesus I had always envisioned was nothing like this. It looks so…plastic. Fake. Cheap. Inauthentic. Carelessly made. (All fitting descriptors for a production made by a sham of a religion.)

But one thing that enrages me is that apparently they’ve got “actors” going into character as being possessed by demons.

I admit, I haven’t seen it yet and don’t want to, and maybe this scene is Al. And if so, that’s a whole other travesty to be ranted about.

But if it is actors, what the hell are they doing? We were never allowed to watch horror films or even Michael Jackson’s Thriller video, but the GB produced this and a director directed and instructed the actors to do this? What were the cue words?

Filmmaking (they make videos and are definitely NOT filmmakers) is a serious art. Acting is as well. To make JWs (aren’t all actors in these things JWs?) be committed forever, digitally, on video portraying being inhabited by demonic entities is PURE EVIL of the GB to have come up with!!!

My whole stance on their video making and how much of it there is is that movie making is fun. Being on a set and doing anything is fun.

But that they really didn’t just have the idea of making a scene depicting people being demonically possessed, but they actually wrote it, casted the actors, filmed it, edited it, color graded it - and dropped the episode for all to bear witness to this exegesis “adding to the word” via video interpretation of biblical story insanity?!

I don’t watch horror stuff especially when it has demonized ppl in it because it’s nightmare inducing for me. I can’t imagine portraying that. Are these actors trained at all? Even tho film sets are fun, even just playing a demonized character for a few minutes (though often there are many takes…) could be traumatizing.

I was going to see if I could figure out which of the videos has the scene before posting this, because maybe it is Al and there were no humans – particularly JWs – acting in it.

But I’ll leave this here so anyone who reads it can really question the whole video content direction the org has gone full steam ahead with. And particularly to think about all the preproduction and behind the scenes stuff going on - especially how every actor is being directed and is also committing their image to JW indoctrination content forever by doing so. It’s beyond insane.

I’m not sure if this is the first instance of them getting their shows on Bolivian TV or or any worldly TV station or not. The GB is likely strategizing roll out of their self-lauded TV programming on a larger scale. I mean, they’ve got their worldly TV studio inspired production behemoths like Ramapo and I think Australia has one. Any others I’m not aware of? (All are a total waste of money and effort in the age of Al)

So, instead of doing critically important things like fixing the CSA issue and coverup or really getting the blood doctrine correct and updating all congregations and JWs understanding of it (and correcting their “no blood even from myself” cards)…they’re cranking out the video content and proud to show them on worldly TV stations.

Does that cost them money? Anyone know if they’ve already been doing this?

One of the photos (not sure if it involves Al or photoshop, likely the latter at least…) shows inmates sitting in what looks like an elementary school classroom with cheerful apple cut outs on the wall🤷‍♀️

And then the brief blurb about an older Russian man feeling grateful for the privilege to be fined $4600 for being a JW. Which I think could be easy to hide unless they’re told by the GB to continue to preach or talk about the org or not to hide their books or whatever.

How does that work, being “persecuted” by worldly governments for being a JW? Like, would it not be easy to just keep one’s own religious beliefs to oneself if being visible about it will get ya fined, imprisoned or killed/tortured?

Does the GB direct JWs what to do in these situations?

Did they pay Mr. Suslov’s $4582 USD fine?

Did they send any guys from the legal team to join him when he had to stand in front of 71 judges to receive his fine?

He was allegedly convicted just recently on April 16th, but was he in prison before that?

Have they been posting “news updates” about Bro Saslov and this is just the latest news bit about him?

And re: The Fishkill project - it cost $38 million and is an IT support center w office space, a medical center and a space for “hair care and other personal services.”

What other personal services, dare I ask?

(I’m pasting the article below…)

The GB has their hands in alllll kinds of stuff. Huge real estate dealings and corporate compound construction projects, lowly workers having to stand in front of 71 judges (all by themselves, w no big shit JW dot con lawyers?), and broadcasting their TV shows on worldly TV channels.

What are they even doing? This is so obviously not Jehovah’s chosen-by-Jesus sole approved interpreters and “spiritual food” servers Biblical knowledge. It’s not an educational organization. They don’t teach the Bible and they certainly don’t teach JWs how to learn OR teach.

If you want to see what “news” they approve of being gloated about on their website, it’s here:

Construction Completed on the Fishkill Support Center in New York, U.S.A.

On February 3, 2026, the town of Fishkill, New York, issued a Certificate of Occupancy for the Fishkill Support Center of Jehovah’s Witnesses. This means that our brothers and sisters serving at Fishkill Bethel, including many who work in computer support and information technology, can now begin using the newly completed facility to further support Kingdom interests both in the United States branch territory and worldwide.

The Fishkill Bethel facilities are located about 64 kilometers (40 mi) north of the World Headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Warwick, New York, U.S.A. This new support center consists primarily of three buildings. The two-story office building features a receiving dock, medical offices, and space for hair care and other personal services. It also includes a multipurpose room that can seat up to 300 people.

Later this year, our brothers will begin to use this room to host spiritual programs, such as the Bethel family Watchtower Study. A maintenance building is home to various workshops and a small office area. A third building hosts exercise and recreation facilities.

Along with the three buildings, the 23-hectare (57-ac) Fishkill Support Center site also features picnic areas and several other outdoor amenities for use by members of the Bethel family. During both the planning and construction phases of the project, considerable attention was given to constructing the facility in a sustainable and environmentally conscious way. Although Fishkill Bethel serves an important role in supporting the work of Jehovah’s Witnesses, it is not open to the public for tours.

The facility’s main lobby

This milestone marks the conclusion of several years of planning and 18 months of construction at the Fishkill site. The project, which cost approximately $38 million to complete, involved close cooperation among multiple Bethel departments as well as the support of several outside contractors. Many of the contractors took note of the fine example set by our brothers and sisters, which often resulted in a good witness.

Commenting on the completed project, a sister named Elise, who works in Grounds Maintenance at Fishkill, said: “I am grateful for our new workshop. It gives our crew plenty of space to work together on projects and to store our equipment. It is such a privilege to see Jehovah blessing the work being done here!” Brother Kent Fischer, a member of the United States Branch Committee, noted: “We are so happy that the Fishkill Bethel family can now use these new facilities as a place to work together and gather for spiritual encouragement and association.”

We rejoice that these new facilities at Fishkill, New York, can now be used to further the work being accomplished by Jehovah’s people and glorify his name.—Proverbs 16:3
