Did you ever voice disagreement at the Watchtower study?
by MrMonroe init was only after leaving that i realised just how absurd and inaccurate many of the statements in the wt study really are.
the tag-team application of "this generation" is a classic example.. i'm interested to know if anyone who was in "good standing" actually did speak up at a meeting and challenge what's in the study.
what was the reaction?.

The new Kingdumb maladies
by WTWizard ini wonder if anyone actually enjoys them.
i have heard scattered reports about how a few actually enjoyed at least a few of the older songs (back when there were 225 of them).
but i have heard nothing but reports of the new songs being impossible to properly sing, very poorly written or performed, or downright blasphemous and promoting blatant idolatry.

The no beard or facial hair rule
by Soldier77 inokay, something that has always been a side point but still a rather ridiculous rule is that brothers cannot "serve" if they have a beard/goatee/anything more than just a moustache.
at least in the states, i've heard of some congregations in some countries allow this, but they are the exception?
your experience?.

In Scandanavia, it's 100% a matter of taste. There are lots of elders with beards.

I dont know where you got this information, at least in this Scandinavian country I live in there is not ONE elder with beard. Its not acceptable here, no way.

They used to be mentioned in KMs before soon after the memorial (at least in my country, I mean numbers of my country, not the whole world) but this year they only mentioned the number of attendance, not partakers. I wonder why...

When will they appoint new GB members...
by Mickey mouse in...and who do you think they will be?.

The GB is smaller now than it has ever been (since the GB arrangement in current form started in 1971). I dont believe it will be like this for long, they might suddenly appoint 5 new ones or so, like in 2000 they appointed 4.

Oh yes, Bowen used to be a Gilead instructor and Malenfant is the vice-president of the Society if I remember correctly.

Weaver is black but I dont know if anointed or not. Bowen and Malenfant are (anointed).
