Personally, I think you're trolling or lack the ability to discuss things properly.
There’s been many over the years. Things don’t change,

this can be confusing because the wts has adjusted from not having a clergy class to not having a "paid" clergy class.. "a congregation of brothers precludes having a proud clergy class that honors itself with high-sounding titles and elevates itself above a laity" wt 6/1/2001 p. 12, pp 11. still same idea in 2021 wt october, p. 20, pp.
7, but 2022 in the wt publication, frequently asked questions about jehovah’s witnesses, page 13, the wts inserts "paid" in front of "clergy perhaps to shore up their current statement in secular courts they have clergy, just not paid) "following the model of first-century christianity, jehovah’s witnesses have no clergy-laity division.
all baptized witnesses are ordained ministers and share in the preaching and teaching work.
But, when making their sales pitch to the gullible, they claim to have not have a clergy class.
Yep, and the facts show that millions are “gullible”.
No wonder politicians get believed too !

There was a time long ago when I believed all that bile the Witchtower spewed endlessly about the clergy of christendom.
Having spent the past two and a half decades or more in close association with people who are clergy I can testify that it just isn’t true, it’s part of the web of lies that the Witchtower spins.
But they do have a paid clergy class....Circuit overseer's (the most thoughtless name for an American religion!).
Exactly!
The stipend of Christendom's clergy is entirely the same thing as the monthly allowance of that of a CO!
Yep, precisely right.

i will never take these vaccines even if it meant i couldn’t go to the hall as was previously said but the gb have done a big u turn on this now.
That’s a relief!

I think we are all confusing the word activist with youtuber. Lloyd is a youtuber.
Maybe activist creates an image that gets supporters ?
I can think of many other youtubers that are much better;
Oh yes ! Big shout out for Kevin McFree - my favorite, always spoke very perceptively of life as a Dub.

Someone commented on your Watchtower reviews. Who can forget? They were really analytical and, dare I say, downright interesting.
Like you, I look at Watchtower articles these days and find it difficult to see much there, they’re written in such a bland style, just indoctrination on top of indoctrination. Clearly the helpers haven’t added much depth to the teachings.
Anyhow good to see you’re still alive and kicking. Me too, just!
Cheers,
