In Rutherford's day, it was absolute. Knorr and Franz had strong influence, even though the GB had voted themselves into a role of significance. Being a corporation, the WT will still have a president. But with GB 3.0 hogging the limelight and seemingly making all the decisions, what exactly does the president now do?

Canvassing sports events? Is this the next new light to expect: participating in team sports is okay? 🙄
Turnabout is fair play: the local youth sporting groups should stand around Kingdom Halls (off the property, of course) and try to recruit young people for team sports. ⛹️🤾🏏⚾🏒🏈🥌

The Day two JW kids murdered their parents.
by LDH infor those of you who are unfamiliar with the story, which is ten years old now.
the freeman brothers of allentown pennsylvania lashed out against their strict upbringing by killing their loyal jw parents and even their younger brother.. the story made national headlines because these two had tattoos on their foreheads.
"berzerker" and "sieg heil.".

"Perhaps if the father allowed his sons to play sports and baseball at school they would have learned to use the baseball bat in the way it was intended."
In Agatha Christie's Ordeal By Innocence, the police inspector opines that the previous suspect was "a wrong'un". Basically morally flawed and destined for certain patterns of behaviour.
These brothers may have been headed for some similar results, no matter how they were treated.

Remember when they were an impressive publishing corporation? And then they begrudged paying Caesar a small amount of sales tax. Now they hardly print any magazines and those that they do, they can't give away "for free".

They'll never rescind the beard ruling, no matter how hairsute the congregation becomes.
The most ridiculous thing about it is of how much of an issue it was and how it's change was shouted from the housetops like it was important. For Pete's sake, GB, it is just a few hairs sticking out of someone's face! They should never have had any sort of rigid policy on it in the first place.

It's the shunning we're against. The family should be allowed to make up their own minds how to treat him, regardless of his WT membership status.
Did he come forward to confess stuff, or were the elders snooping?
As Balaamsass2 says, the WT needs to get out of the spy and cop business.

"Virgin territory"? Does that mean new housing estates that have never been visited/canvassed by JWs?

Back to the original topic, quince paste is often a feature of charcuterie boards. I'm not sure if you could make your own quince paste, but it might be worth a try. 👍

peacefulpete, it's interesting that you should say that he wasn't big in the USA, because I remember growing up in the 70s with the Tomfoolery Show, a series of cartoon sketches based on Lear's works. It originated on NBC. To be fair, it apparently didn't get much traction.
