In my former congregation, a brother was disfellowshipped because his son spent a night with his girlfriend at his home, in the same bed. He was convinced of complicity in an immoral act. So both father and son were disfellowshipped !

Any signs that Kingdom Halls will re-open soon or door to door work will re-start again?
by eyeslice ini've not heard anything from pimi wife about going back to the khs yet let alone the door to door work.. many churches round here have re-opened if only for private pray and i am guessing that things like singing may be a factor in the reluctance of the witnesses to get back together again.
i also detect that many older ones are still quite afraid to go anywhere they may come in contact with people, even for shopping.
on the other hand, here in uk you can now go to a football match with 70,000 others shouting and chanting.. the door to door work may a total different issue.

Keinlezard, I heard the same. Many JWs are so happy to meet only by Zoom and to stay home for preaching (in)activity ! The majority is getting more and more fanatic , just waiting the end comes tomorrow !
So everything's in order, fewer and fewer contact with "the world", even in the fied service.
I don't think they will re-open soon.

one good point for JWs ! You can't be a man and choise "I'm interessed in men" ! So everything is in order, but it was worth trying !

Do You Love The Country You Are In or From?
by minimus inmost people over the generations have taken pride in their heritage, nationality and country they are from.
it’s not uncommon to hear of “proud” italians and proud irish people , as an example.
are you proud of your country and your nationality or do you feel shame or indifference?.

I'm French, living in France but born from 4 grand-parents who left Poland in the early 30's to work in the coal mines. They were courageous, and I'm proud of them.
I love my country and the area I live in, but I won't say I'm proud of being French, or Polish or anything else.
What makes one's pride is the person you are, not the country where you are from.

What Were You or Someone You Knew Counseled For That Was Ridiculous?
by minimus inback in the day, tons of witnesses were brought in the “back room “ to be counseled by elders because of their dress and grooming.
some elders frowned on mustaches or hair that went past a certain point on a male.
women were regularly harassed because their skirt was too long or too short or had a slit on the side.

I took part as a musician to a "new year concert", as you can see in Vienna each first of January.
An elder explained me that I was a support of the world of the Devil because celebrating the new year was an association with demons.
I tried to explained that it was the same that an "autumn concert" or un "summer concert", where nobody was "celebrating" autumn ou summer... It was just the "moment of new year"... He answered I would be disfellowship if I would participate again. It wasn't necessary... I left them all 3 days after and was never back again.

What is the most insensitive thing an Overseer or Elder has ever said and done to you?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inwhat is the most insensitive thing an overseer or elder has ever said and done to you?
i have had many insensitive things said to me by some elders, but for some reason one self-righteous elder was always on my case.
he didn't like the fact that i missed meetings, didn't like that i never went out in field service, that i didn't answer at the weekly meetings and he didn't like that i carried my books and magazines in my hands and not a service/book bag.

Another one ! When I met my non-witness wife, an elder just asked me "How can one fall in love with someone who for sure will be kill at Armaggudon ?"
I just asked him if his Creator's already given him the list, with the names...
