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..
Good points Teddnzo.
In my younger days I regular auxiliary pioneered for a number of years. I was doing 60 hours plus in the ministry every single month.
My job and hours were awful. But I got constant questioning, nagging and sarcastic comments from elders doing around 10 hours a month about why I wasn't a 'regular pioneer'..
I killed myself and became a regular pioneer doing 90 hrs a month - now how many hours do pioneers have to do???
so there was nothing in scripture about brothers having beards... do the 'scriptures condemn sisters wearing pants'...???.
excessive control.
the september 2016 watchtower article "does your style of dress glorify god?

The September 2016 Watchtower article "Does Your Style of Dress Glorify God?" states Jehovah's Witnesses should feel grateful they are not be burdened with detailed regulations on clothing.
"How grateful we are that Jehovah does not burden us with detailed lists of regulations about our dress and grooming." Watchtower 2016 Sep p.21 par.18

a sister has snitched on me.

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.
richard dawkins revealed that he celebrates christmas on radio four's today programme.. here is is quoted as saying: .
'i am perfectly happy on christmas day to say merry christmas to everybody,' dawkins said.
'i might sing christmas carols - once i was privileged to be invited to kings college, cambridge, for their christmas carols and loved it.
Anyone read/remember this book?
