Maybe a former bethelite elder here would know the answer to my question for sure.

If the rank-and-file are "encouraged" to wear them even out to dinner, why wouldn't the speaker be required to wear one?
If you're a parking attendant, watchman, money-box sitter, attendant, etc. they are required.
If you've got a photo of a speaker without one, it was most likely a mistake.
So what's the scoop?

They are supposed to, but sometimes someone in the Chairman's office drops the ball. That falls under the pervue of the Program Overseer, Assembly Overseer, and the Chairman. All participants are supposed to get a good look over before being walked from Chairman's office to the stage holding area.
If you're a parking attendant, watchman, money-box sitter, attendant, etc. they are required.

"silly cult...who directs traffic with a tie on?"
Yes, that must be the worst thing to have taken place on Earth since Cain killed his brother!
What next? Maybe we can have som MAJOR scandal - like someone wearing a HAT!

Everyone at the Grand Boasting Session is supposed to have their embarrassment badge on. And that goes double for anyone that has a part on the platform or a duty to perform (like guarding the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund box).

It was sarcasm....seriously...doesn't come through well in a text based forum (should have inserted a rolling eye smiley)....
I guess I should have clarified...it was hot outside...and the guy wasn't doing anything. Just standing there...along with a dozen other brothers in "traffic" not doing anything. The brother was standing at an entrance controlled by a traffic signal...thus, his presence there was redundant....that was what was really so funny to both of us...not so much the tie...that just caught her attention.
