I don't mind seeing that ban on independent meetings and discussion in print. Now I can just tell anyone who tries to discuss anything from or about the Bible to quit, and use JW rules as backup.

Ban on Independent Meetings
by lssjr insource - march 2021 announcements - - https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5085868283920384/2021-march-147-english-german-announcements-reminders.
this is a sobering reminder of what happened some 40 years ago when raymond franz and others were literally kicked out from the jehovah's witnesses for having pre-arranged private spiritual discussions.lesson: paragraph 7 is another example of the i and t in dr. steven hassan's bite model of the 21st century cult - information and thought control at its best!!!!
"my gosh, there must be a lot of independent meetings these days.

the best hope is that when everyone is vaccinated life can return to normal with deaths at a minimum
I respectfully disagree. Already of the three variants of COVID has been found to have no less than 23 mutations. Each variant with it's multitude of mutations will be used as the excuse of the day to tighten down the restrictions, the mask mandates, the mandates about who you can be around, when you can be around them, and where you can go.
IMO, the best hope is for people to finally get a backbone and realize government is NOT your nanny, and does nothing FOR their citizens. The sole purpose of government is to grow government.

The one world government, globalist agenda where this slightly more serious variant of the flu is concerned has been, is now, and always will be until Covid-19 case numbers (and Covid-19 related deaths) drop to 0% of their peak level and also until at least 100% of the population is vaccinated from Covid-19, people will still be required to a wear a mask, isolate from the rest of humanity, and sacrifice at the altar of "science".
That is why the narrative changes almost every week.

Aw, I FINALLY get it folks.
It didn't happen because there is "Still no evidence. Just more speculation." And because there is "Still no evidence. Just more speculation" that means it didn't happen, so because it didn't happen there is "Still no evidence. Just more speculation." Sounds like election fraud to me.

What is the youngest a child has been baptised as a JW?
by Ultimate Axiom inthe youngest reference i have come across is in the 1992 watchtower (march 1st page 27) - “in the summer of 1946, i was baptized at the international convention in cleveland, ohio.
although i was only six years of age…”.
i would like to find more examples of this, particularly of examples in more recent times.

half a dozen unbaptised, but adult males, and one baptised six year old boy. How that would work?
I would imagine quite well.
Dad: Time for bed son.
Son: NO! I don't want to go to bed!
Dad: Son, I am the father. Do as I say.
Son: NO!! If you try to make me I will dis-fellowship you!
Dad: Oh, sorry. Okay son, you win.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Seriously though, I was fourteen, and that was way to young. I cannot imagine these precious little kids at 6 and 7 getting dunked.

It is laughable to think management scrutinised every course available from the provider.
But it remains the case that it is highly unlikely that management scrutinised all 270 courses about ‘diversity’
Really?
So am I to believe that you are calling me a liar? That is an easy question for you to answer. "YES", or "NO". Now go back and read what I wrote about the chain of command. Perhaps upper management did not see every single one of 270 courses, someone did though! These choices are not made by throwing a dart at a dart board, or closing ones eyes and choosing whichever one their finger lands on. And no, don't trot out the garbage claim that I said you claimed that!
It large corporations there is a little thing called liability. That attaches to every corporate decision that management makes in one way or another, and for management to claim they did not have knowledge of a decision never has, and never will absolve them of liability for management decisions.
I will decline to further engage in a battle of wits with an obviously unarmed person!

And it wasn’t someone just slipping it in the program.
EXACTLY! Anyone who believes it was somehow, or by someone, accidentally and innocently slipped in has obviously never worked with a human resources department of a company the size of Coca-Cola.
Training materials usually are chosen by a human resources manager or someone designated by them, then vetted by a corporate vice-president, then narrowed down to one or two selections, then finally sent to corporate legal department for approval, THEN the one that covers all the corporate bases is made available to the employees in general. At least that is how it was with the corporation I retired from that employed over 10,000 employees with a annual revenue of over 4.4 billion dollars (US) reported as of 2017.
In the case of "Coke" does anyone believe that particular be 'less white' portion would have been removed had it not generated back-lash?

This happened in Colorado (USA) not too long ago.
The Grand County coroner is disputing the number of COVID-19 deaths the state is reporting for the county. The coroner maintains that only one person in the county has died FROM COVID-19, while two more people have died WITH it, for a total of three COVID-related deaths in the county. However, the state is reporting five for Grand. In disputing the numbers, Bock explained that a couple who died of gunshot wounds late last month have been included in the state’s numbers.
Centers for Disease Control reporting protocol requires that anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 within 30 days of their death be included in these numbers. (In other words, LIE) These are reported FACTS, not some conspiracy. There is a reason for numbers to be artificially inflated. It means $$$$ to someone. It means control of citizens by someone. Thinking persons will ask who stands to benefit from the control, and reap $$$$ as a result of that control.

We should approach an alleged respected, spiritually mature brother or sister and beg them for their personal opinion about our style of clothing and grooming and then slavishly obey the instructions given.
THERE, fixed WT's words.
