It says that he is an EX-JW. Many former male JW's grow beards to show that WT no longer has authority or control over them, and beards look nice too! My C.O. told me that there is no scriptural reason against having a beard. It's a rule of WT only, and not based on scripture!

If you could pick out critical errors to the JWS religion what would it be ?
by Rocketman123 inmany that have come to this forum have left the jws religion and moved on with their lives but from a outsider's viewpoint what do think makes the jws religion wrong or incorrect as a active christian faith ?.
somethings come to mind such as its long continuous end times/armageddon soon doctrine which has really been a core doctrine for decades going right back to its beginning .. maybe they should have adopted the stance as other christian based faiths and adhered to jesus's own words when he said " no one knows of the time not even he ".

Christ is NOT my mediator, is what WT teaches. After over 50 years as a JW, 25 as an elder and 3 as a MS, I didn't know this was a doctrine of WT. I believe that he IS my mediator, (1Tim 2:4-6) and so did my wife and others, until they did further research in WT publications. They then came back and told me that Christ is not their mediator. Sad! I guess the WT publications trumps/carries more weight than the bible?

Very interesting. It reports that Watchtower has little financial transparency, gets an F grade on results or good done for society, and rated low on impact on society for the dollars donated. Looking at where the money went, Watchtower only benefitted Watchtower, yet WT tries to make it look like they help everyone with charitable works.
It reminded me of this that someone posted:

Buildings made from cinder blocks don't cost millions. Look at some of the pictures in the publications. Some of the KH's wouldn't even be considered as a building, just a covering or a gazebo. Before lumber prices went up, i could build these at USA prices for under $1000!

Yes AM III mentioned in one of the WT videos that if you had been to Disneyland or Disneyworld and not Bethel, you were not very spiritual and your priorities were not in the right order.

So telling that there are no little children
by eyeslice inwatching in on my wife's zoom meeting last night, there was an item about discipline is love.
they played a 'caleb' animated cartoon and then the instructions were 'if possible, ask selected young children' several questions.. it seems however, that there are no children in my wife's current congregation so the questions were all answered by retired brothers and sisters.
the congregation mainly consists of elderly people (like us) and the few of childbearing age seem not interested in having children.

It’s true there aren’t as many kids as in years past. Some couples are deciding not to have kids, so many JW’s are leaving & taking kids or potential kids with them, and the KH’s in my area have more single sisters than ever before!
A Baptist deacon told me years ago that if a church isn’t growing it’s dying. What he said is very true! His church was comprised mostly of elderly women.
Years ago my kids were used so much that it was embarrassing. WT notices the shortage too. The instructions that call for kids to be interviewed, will now say, such as last week:”If possible, ask selected young children...”
I guess Tony Tight Pants Morris telling sisters not to consider brothers who aren’t MS’s or elders as potential marriage mates, isn’t working out!🤔😂

Where there any cases where members should not have been at the meeting but still managed to attend?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inno matter if you are tired, sick, worked late, trudging through heavy snow, or any other reason, you were never to miss the meetings.
missing meetings is frowned upon.. i once went to a 2 day assembly with 2 wisdom teeth pulled the day before.
my gums were still bleeding.

I gave a Sunday talk when my child was seriously ill and would possibly need to be hospitalized. Blood transfusion would be an issue. Doctors had us monitoring the temperature and if it rose to a certain point, we were to immediately get to the hospital.
I was a new elder then and it had been impressed upon me that you didn’t miss important outgoing talks such as this. I was so stressed that I began crying on the closing prayer! That’s right i even stayed for the WT Study!
