during lett’s announcement that beards are now allowed he elaborated at some length how brothers ought to feel and react to the change in policy.
he warned brothers not to resent not being able to grow beards earlier if they had wished to do so.
he also warned brothers who supported the old policy not to allow themselves to wonder what the point of doing so was now that it has changed.
Beards are a mess right now. Ties and pants suits will be "not local custom " like the older beard article.
My DF family still remembers the meanness, self righteousness, double standards, and pettiness. I do not blame them for staying away and being bitter. If they ask I don't know addresses and may ask them why they don't come at 11pm like the original committee did. (Really did)
there are no serious consequences for doubting the gb.
there are no consequences for going against the direction.
we can now celebrate anything.. what will happen if you take blood, celebrate xmas and birthdays ect?.
90 days to show repentant works. No guarantees. Keep doing (whatever) and still out.
A club does need standards of membership. The problem is the inconsistency of standards and applications.
there's been a lot of discussion about the changes in the org.
you might think all this would shake things up, especially for the older or super dedicated jws.
but remember when gb decided all the khs and the bank accounts needed to be transferred/managed from the top?
My opinion is cargo khakis are not quite up to snuff, especially the cargo part
My observation is black churchgoers always have better sense on appropriate attire
you heard me correct, this is not a joke, and it is not april fools day!
the asl portion of the governing body updated #2 (march 2024) has been released a bit early and someone caught it.
summary: .
Scheme also to lwithhold marital dues to encourage adultery thereby freeing a party.
I know of at least one marriage broken up by a horny elder who encouraged separation and the entailing DF which he was on the committee for.
Indulgences by any other name are available
is the change in jw dress policy a way to make the changes in df policy easier to accept?.
a way to devide?.
g..
Slim. Good point. Dress standards are a sore point for lots of us
The kangaroo court procedure is well known on both sides: those who decrie the procedure and those who want more pharisaical controls
i am sure we were all shocked at the governing body update #2 with the unusual and impulsive changes set forth.. i am an insider at whq, and when i was on reddit and in communication with avoidjw i explained to the best of my ability that the approach on disfellowshipping was going to change based on the new light at the 2023 agm, that the jubilee rumor was false, and there were going to be changes on how jws approached disfellowshipping in response to the norway situation if it didn't turn out in watchtower's favor.
the decision came because of a legal blow to watchtower, not because "holy spirit" wad directing a faithful slave, who is going to become the "evil slave", more explanation on this soon.. everything i stated came true.
i left reddit exjw community due to the immature and mentally unstable nature there, and yet as has been the case my words came true.
Follow the money. Assemblies make less so just one day now. Renting a school for memorial with few contributions made.
COs can't assess brothers in a week so---?? Adding a Deborah/Anna classification would make sense--just don't let them be on a committee for a man.
Sex acts are probably widespread (pun?) anyway. Where does foreplay end and forbidden things start.
The blood thing is muddled now--no science applied.
1914 is the elephant in the room.
many are talking on whatsapp about what to wear.
sisters wearing slacks and brothers wearing all sorts of different tops.
I would shave except the 2 to 3 months it takes to fill it in and shape it. My suit shrunk.
South sea islander wrap skirt, Arab robe, left over drama costume, kilts, loin cloth, endless possibilities
tv was on and when i came back in the news was over and mass was on.
the greeting and be with you response, a good in tune hymn, audience seemed awake.
i think i could enjoy a half hour of thus better than a droning talk followed by read paragraph, ask, reread twice as "answer"..

so what is appropriate now we don’t have to wear a suit and tie?.
i imagine just a smart shirt and smart casual trousers.
what about shoes?
I saw some mormon elders without the tie.
As for casual wear, some of the jackets, trousers, women's suits in the store are wrinkled making the legendary polyester suit look good
Actually I seldom notice clothing except for either bazaar things or nice (women) legs. I note the message in tv news and the story line in entertainment--as opposed to the lack thereof at the hall and cannot say what the clothing was.

I will say again: you cannot reform a kangaroo court run by biased idiots
