JW Pressroom on Social Media

It seems that clicking on the JW PRESSROM account in the bottom right corner displays an image of Jesus and a message criticizing us. How did that get there?

Please stop writing this… when you get the announcement at the meeting, you’ll look foolish for encouraging witnesses to do this.

 

The announcement is already out.  Congregation elders in the US received it yesterday.  Some may already have had this announced last night at their mwm or tonight if any have a Friday meeting. 

 

There are no instructions in the announcement that publishers should not like, share, or subscribe.  The announcement does state this is a pilot program, the content is intended for media outlet and publishers should continue to use jw.org to receive news and updates. 

 

That's it. That's the entire announcement. 

 

If the Organization did not want us liking, sharing, or subscribing, they would not have made the account live, nor released an announcement to the congregations.  The Slave knows how us sheep think and act

Do you think this will be a new way to engage with the public? 

 

No. The accounts are locked down and comment sections turned off. The organization's engagement with the public is typically and one-way, broadcast style model without necessarily taking feedback.

 

This is apparently designed as another means to disseminate information about JWs.

Reminders me of the purpose of the jw-media.org website. 

 

Just in time for the midweek meeting part week of June 8  - Protect Your Heart From Misinformation

The posts are gone now for me.

 

I think they are still working out the kinks. 

Because the feature you mentioned here seems to be publicly seen if you use the reel as an reaction video or use its audio to post your own clip(not a social media/ig expert but to me that's what's happening)

It looks like a feature of TikTok. I don't know if they can disable that.

[Shawnster]

Ah! I don't have Tik Tok.  Guess that's why I couldn't see it.

I still see it on IG sadly. And it links to an apostate account! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Oh no, thanks for confirming that... maybe I no longer see it because I reported the post 😂

By default, the audio track of a posted video is isolated and available for use, in the icon just below the checkmark. There are options on both TikTok and Instagram to limit or even prevent the use of a video's audio.

Many have heard nothing through their meeting and may confuse the wording of people here saying “don’t forget to do x y z” as though it was someone repeating a reminder of the slave.

 

It would be better to write something like “if you’re comfortable using that social network, you can follow it” — if the slave doesn’t tell us to like and subscribe, we need to word our own opinions more carefully.
