Typical story. The few times anyone calls it is an afterthought during doorto door. Then the encouragement is to put in time, return to in person. The non witness neighbors shovel snow, drop by, offer aid, send tidbits. 1 elder, 2 ms, 3sisters live within 3 blocks.

My grandmother called my mother
by Anony Mous inso, i’m just posting this as a warning to lurking jws.
if you’re still on the fence, here is a story.. my grandmother, now in her 80s hasn’t talked to anyone in the family for over 20 years ever since my mother was the last one of her children that left ‘the truth’, she had sent my mother a card to never talk to her again.
so here we are 21 years later, she gets a call out of the blue that she needed help, she hadn’t been able to get into her kitchen.

My guess is 20 to 30. I know only 3 personally, but zoom.. A few comments on my having a head start(2 years), but that was partly stubbornness, lack of caring(rebellion), and skin trouble.
I know some who stubble up and shave only for midweek and Sunday.
Starting is the perpetual problem.

NWPublisher app
by Rattigan350 ini heard on the meeting about apps called nwpublisher and cartsmart.
new world publisher (nw publisher) is a free apple ios and google android app created by jehovah’s witnesses for jehovah’s witnesses.
congregation publishers can install new world publisher on their mobile devices and be more united and connected with their congregation.. cartsmart was built to streamline the way we schedule our public witnessing shifts.

Here it's used, complete with broken links. Letters, reports etc are not posted for long. A real person had to tell it about my beard. A fear that now I will be again given 3rd grade reading lessons.
It shows assignments, but not the material to "research"

Load is getting lighter and yolk so kindly it’s hardly there👏
by jehovaxx ini heard an answer recently about how jesus said my yolk is kindly and my load is light.. he actually as good as said jwlite but not in so many words.. he said jehovah and jesus know it’s getting harder in these critical times so have made the load even lighter and the yolk even more kindly with padding.. all the changes recently, no more reports, beards allowed it’s jw lite with actually calling it such.
zoom meetings and ministry groups, new meeting format in january that is so easy there is no preparation needed.
anyone could turn up on the day not even having looked at the material and give any item as it’s all on rails.. people were talking after the meeting “there is so much new light it’s as if jesus is saying we know you are finding things hard, here let me make the load even lighter still.”.

Stoll judgemental, overbearing. Prejudices. Shunning.
Super preachy about love, but little shown.

Brothers will try with varied success. Some will be scraggly, some odd cuts. They slso will discover you still need (or look wild) to trim, summer us hot, they can itch, ingrown hair, whiskers in your mouth, and food catching.

I'm betting on one elder in particular commenting about those who grew a beard despite the misapplied rules. This particular one whispered to me that I could not be in the school; talk about empty threats

There is a downside on the fading bit. My beard appeared and stayed partly to avoid the resumed door to door, and( bonus) no 3rd grade reading parts.

What about letting sisters wear pants?
by Ron.W. inso there was nothing in scripture about brothers having beards... do the 'scriptures condemn sisters wearing pants'...???.
excessive control.

Womens suits are attractive, modest and easy to find unlike knee length skirts. They are not mimicking men's clothing.
Per other postings, though, they do not need more women reaching out.

You sure? Be vague answering questions. The old adage holds true: "keep your friends close, enemies closer".
