Yes. I remember them retracting their retraction and the extra hurt it caused many who had just re-established some limited contact with their families.

My family aren't able to grow beards!!! In fact, my grandfather was instructed to grow a moustache during WW1. He managed a respectable 12 hairs in all and was told that six a side was only permissible in soccer games.

JWLITE
by Teddnzo ineven elders can be part of the new jw lite brigade these days.
they don’t need to go on door to door anymore and there is no requirement for anything really.. taking meeting parts is all dead easy you could turn up on the day with zero preparation because it’s all in the meeting workbook.. quarterly elders meetings are just old men having a good old natter just like old men do down the pub.. congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times.. no need for territory maps, these almost went away with covid letter writing now they are extremely slow getting finished as those who still go door to door only do ten mins.. you could even voice your questions these days about things the gb say and then just say “we can’t be dogmatic we just don’t know”.
i predict they will say this about 1914 soon..

Does he really have a sex problem ?
by ozziepost inlike many, i’ve been bemused at lloyd evan’s excuses/reasons for his lusting after prostitutes.
apparently, as he claims in his disastrous video, he blames his wife for being inadequate between the sheets.. could the real answer to his ‘problem’ be closer to home?.
perhaps if he consulted a medical person or even a sex therapist he may learn his “problem” is not down to the borg at all, it may simply be caused by his weight i.e.

Re families the WT stated a few years ago:
"Today, Jehovah does not immediately execute those who violate his laws. He lovingly gives them an opportunity to repent from their unrighteous works. How would Jehovah feel, though, if the parents of an unrepentant wrongdoer kept putting Him to the test by having unnecessary association with their disfellowshipped son or daughter?"

We have to remember that once we're in the dubbies, every moment of every day is pretty well mapped out for us by the WT society.There's no choices. We were told how we had to behave. Witnesses are obsessed by behaviour, even to the extent of how we were to dance, what clothes we could wear, who we could associate with, who we could marry, what we could eat, what entertainment was acceptable, how much time we spent associating, the list goes on and on. Little wonder that when a born-in leaves the JW's, he often goes off the rails. There is no inner sense of morality as all so called morals are those that have been drummed in, no normal gradual maturation has been allowed to take place. Leaving is a hard and painful road, not, IMHO, dissimilar to that of drug addict struggling to kick the habit.
