  JWLITE

  even 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..

  I'm afraid you have to be a bit of an actor if you want to fade without hassle - or you could just tell them all to f~~~ off..It depends on how you want to play it.

  Thank you to all the posters who created new threads about beards.

  I didn't see that one coming. Why have they done it I wonder? Could it be to save themselves from potential legal recriminations from those treated badly/held back if they dared to wear a beard...

  Legal reasons seems to be the reason for everything they do these days.

  The initial question reminded me of when I worked for a really nice family of Jewish Tailors and retailers with about six shops a long time ago.

  They went a bundle on Christmas trees, lights and decorations in all their shops.

  They knew I was a JW back then but didn't seem to mind.

  I asked them how they felt about Christmas as Jews (as obviously JW shop owners couldn't decorate their businesses with Xmas stuff without an instant visit from the elders)-

  They said IT'S ALL JUST ABOUT THE BUSINESS AND THE MONEY FOR US!

  They were nice people. Very honest, hardworking and good to their staff.

  I just looked over some of the recent comments he actually allows to be published on his 'Lloyd Evans - The Aftermath' upload.

  Even those who are reasonably positive and offer fairly constructive comments are treated to quite caustic and smug replies from Lloyd...
