of the 50% of congregants who regularly participate, many of them give gushing answers about how appreciative they are, how wonderful jw.org is and so on, which makes me think nobody in my congregation is awake.

but maybe it's possible for someone who comes across as super spiritual to be awake?

i can't see how, though, as surely it's emotionally draining to fake it like that?

I know a frequent commenter and regular pioneer in my hall, a very vocal and active JW, who referred to Anthony Morris as "tight-pants Tony" in a group conversation of JWs, a term I've only seen used among ex-JWs.

Almost EXACTLY like this, even down to the way the kids are roboticly directed to sway to the music . . .

Best Life Ever (2014) is the name of the first of the JW pop songs that are now featured every month on JW Broadcasting.

More evidence beards are being eased in . . .

by neat blue dog in

the june 2017 watchtower tells the experience of a bible student who was homeless and unkempt, but improved his appearance after being preached to.. peter began to change.

he bathed, neatlytrimmed his beard, and put on the betterclothes that don offered him.

peter continued to maintain a clean appearance.. so here we see that with a neatly trimmed beard the watchtower's writers view him as having "a clean appearance".

A Beard Maverick

by EyesOpenHeartBroken in

so i went to the kh for the first time in a month, and the first brother in our congregation has grown a full beard.

i am in a western u.s. semi-rural area in a cong with an extremely conservative and controlling elder body.

oddly enough, it seemed like people were going out of their way to converse with him and act like they didn't notice the beard or they complimented the beard.

Well, just like the experience of the brother in the latest WT who was discouraged from getting married but did it anyway because this restriction 'was unscriptural' and lost privileges as a result temporarily, JWs can grow beards and say they're following the example of the brother in the April 2017 WT.

A new way to boost hours

by neat blue dog in

it seems that metro witnesses have beeen directed to now have a total of 5 people at each location, as well as 'encouraged' to witness on their lunch breaks, (thus being able to count their time all the way through).

these 2 things should help boost the yearly hours..
