Will the WTBS ever relax the current clothing/dress/grooming standards?

as numbers and meeting attendance statistics continue to decrease in western lands, do you think the wtbs may someday relax it's current clothing and grooming policies to facilitate better attendance and make the meetings more comfortable?

.

please share your opinions of why/why not.

I don't think they aren't allowed, I wouldn't really know for sure. But I do understand why Preston might not be accepted wearing them... hehe, I was only teasing him.

The 3rd return visit.............

by vitty in

this got me thinking when i read another post "not knocking".

we could count the 3rd and subsequent return visits, a bible study, if you read a scripture.

these were called door stop studies.

misanthropic

I've heard about this before, but unfortunately my bad service attitude didn't get me even that far with any potential "quickie studies". I say unfortunate because I could't even fake a bible study whereas lots of other people I knew of were holding several real ones every week. I'm glad now though, since I don't have to live with the guilt of misleading any other people into the troof.

If you were paid to be an active JW, would you accept?

.

even if you don't believe in what you'd preach, would you accept being a jw in return for a salary?.

why not?

misanthropic

I wouldn't do any job for any amount of money if I didn't love what I was doing, or believe in my work.... I liked the way jgnat put it, if you're there just for the paycheck why be there at all? Edited for spelling.....

netflix

how many of you use netflix?

likes?

dislikes?

misanthropic

I don't like the idea of Netflix only because if I want to rent a movie I want to rent it then and there, I don't like the waiting period of the mail. There are lots of different movie rental places here to chose from instead.
