I guess it is going to be hard to disguise one's identity as a jw when the so-called persecution. Why not a tattoo on one's wrist. haha

hoser, it was in a Questions from Readers part of the WT which few jws read. The WTS did not make an announcement, some jws knew other jws that had to get vaccinations to get a passport in the US, like Bethel speakers going out of the country and missionaries. But some did notice and wrote in. Others just were scared so much by the WTS in the past, they were playing it safe.

I wonder if they now will let the men shave their heads, like bald guys that don't have much hair to start with, or those with other reasons.

NWPublisher app
by Rattigan350 ini heard on the meeting about apps called nwpublisher and cartsmart.
new world publisher (nw publisher) is a free apple ios and google android app created by jehovah’s witnesses for jehovah’s witnesses.
congregation publishers can install new world publisher on their mobile devices and be more united and connected with their congregation.. cartsmart was built to streamline the way we schedule our public witnessing shifts.

In our area, we have 4 congregations in one hall, another has 3 congregations, consolidating is the trend, it means that some of the 4 congregations have to have the traditional Sunday meetings on Saturday, and mid-week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I think some of the old-timers see this a big change from pre-1975 when KHs were being built and seated 250 people, (yes). For some congregations it means traveling farther such as 30 miles one way (60 miles total).

Actually, in 1950 the WTS changed their view on vaccinations,, probably because they were sending out "missionaries" to foreign assignments and some vaccinations were required. Watchtower 1952 Dec 15 p.764 Hence all objection to vaccination on Scriptural grounds seems to be lacking..." Many jws from that time seem to have missed that statement and pass on info that vaccinations are forbidden.

1997 WT quote: the matter was submitted for decision to “the apostles and older men who were in Jerusalem.” (Acts 15:2,6,20,22,23 16:4)) Why were “older men” now evidently on the governing body? The Bible does not say, but there was an obvious benefit.
(Is the phrase "governing body" in the scriptures above, no. But "elders and apostles". That is why the WTS uses the words "evidently" and "obvious," to distract from that fact. Always watch for the weasel words and phrases)

Many atheists I know celebrate December 21 Solstice Day with parties, music, etc. Not Christmas. Some say that Christmas was put near that date so pagans could still celebrate their non-Christian event.

The ''dreaded'' birthday cake
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 39. let mildness be your strength.
11 if a workmate asks, for example, why we do not celebrate birthdays, consider: could he be wondering whether we are allowed to have a good time?
or might he feel that our position will dampen the company’s team spirit?
