i joined about 5 days ago and have some observations/questions.. does anyone notice the profile update doesn't seem to work?
i like reading some of the profiles, most accounts don't have them and maybe that's because the tool doesn't function anymore?.
also i've been noticing a diverse number of subjects which made me think of the categories of people on here.
Welcome OBrien , l am a JWno . A life long Anglican ( Church of England) l joined after doorstep conversations with JWs wherein l had doubts about their Bible knowledge and the WT teachings . So l decided to learn more in order to be able to have better discussions with them .I've learnt a lot more than l bargained for .
Elena l feel left out of those categories, there doesn't seem to be one for me 🙁.

things got a bit lively after the agm leaks in october.
there was a lot of discussion going on on this board for a few months.
now that all the leaks have been more or less confirmed as policy, and we've had lively discussions at length concerning the changes, things seem to have slowed down here.. a few suggestions have been raised as to what might be the next changes, such as women being allowed to wear slacks (in the usa, anyway), decoupling from 1914 as an anchoring date and others.. so, what changes do you think will be announced this year?.
So are there 'consequences'to wearing trousers when they shouldn't ? I am trying to get a handle on how official this expectation is . JWs like to give the impression that it's purely a personal choice , not something that's mandatory.

Sorry for asking what may have been asked before. The original post mentions women ( in US at least) being ALLOWED to wear trousers.
So that means that up until now trousers for women have been officially banned ?
When l have asked why women always wear trousers the answer has been that they choose to in order to honour Jehovah. It's always denied that they can't because it's not allowed.

as the clouds of war are gathering fast over the european continent many countries including britain are contemplating a return to conscription and some form of mandatory military service.
considering the fact that the watchtower fought long and hard especially in europe for the right of its believers to abstain from military service it is very interesting to see how this new development will affect the watchtower across europe.
I don't live in London so don't see The Metro and all the hype seems to be people's opinions on one person's musings about the subject.
It seems to be getting blown out of all proportion.

i got the internet in my house and realised it's all lies....but as a pioneer/ministerial servant i chose to fade.
see i had family and friends who were fully strict witnesses.
so i played the poor lost soul brother who is not sure what's happening.
I think that l would get fed up of having to watch my words all the time .
Like l said in my original post are you really free?

I would like to know where he got that from . It just seems to be his own opinion.
