Beads and Tight Jeans APPROVED Service Attire For a Brother?
by sparky1 inmany, many, many posters here have wondered what happened to the religion that they were raised in or baptized into 20 or more years ago.
i just got the shock of my life on jw(dot) org.tv!
there is a video testimonial of an american indian witness that was inactive for many years and has now begun to preach again.

Perfect description of the Governing Body and their attitude toward the rank and file
by sparky1 in"as we have seen in the genesis account of how adam and eve are eternally punished for defying jehovah's orders to stay away from the tree of knowledge, any rebellion against the authority of the ruling male priesthood-and by jehovah's direct command, men in general-was made a heinous sin.
both authoritarianism and male dominance were here solidly justified by the same dictum that modern totalitarians and would be totatlitarians, be they of the theistic right or the athiestic left, still preach to their followers: don't think, accept what is, accept what authority says is true.
above all, do not use your own intelligence, your own powers of mind, to question us or to seek independent knowledge.

Any Educated Guesses...........??
by sparky1 ina friend of mine is trying the 'slow fade' like i did.
he is a third generation witness and comes from a prominent family in his circuit.
his uncle stepped down as an elder because he had doubts and could not serve anymore (although for now he remains a witness in good standing).
