It's probably a wise choice on his part not to try to join a group where he'd be burdened with those expectations!
A cautionery tale! The reality is that this man would find, if he "came into the Truth", that his life would be a constant struggle to comply with the standards. If he failed, he would always feel inadequate. How would he feel when he was excluded in little ways, like missing out on 'privileges'? We know how Jesus felt about the Pharisees loadsing down the 'flock' with burdensome rules. No different to today in the WTS. Cheers,
