I'm with you there. I'm cool with kids expressing their gender (or sex rather) however they want. If a little biological boy wants to wear a dress, he's welcome to do that; I wouldn't and didn't, but power to him. But if he wants to get a sex change, well... he can wait until he's an adult, whose capable of making decisions like that which are better informed.

How old are we talking? A child is too young to make that decision as far as I'm concerned. An adult, yes.

Preaching
by menrov inthe wt always said that preaching is a must for all christians as it was 'demanded' by jesus.
in the latest announcements, it has become clear the rank and file are only allowed to preach if the wt leaders approve.
in other words, all jw's are providing obedience to their wt leaders instead of jesus.

menrov, I think you're 100% right. It shows what matters most to Jehovah's Witnesses: obedience to the Governing Body. They've preached when it was illegal, now they don't preach because well, the GB says not to.

Hey Atlantis, I'm doing alright. Relaxing after a long day at work. I've been updating the paper with the PDFs you sent me. They've been very helpful.

I think it's a little much. I understand people are concerned about catching the virus, but I don't like the precedent it sets.

by TTWSYF innwt luke chapt 1.
41 well, as elizabeth heard the greeting of mary, the infant in her womb leaped, and elizabeth was filled with holy spirit 42 and loudly cried out: “blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruitage of your womb!
43 so how is it that this privilege is mine, to have the mother of my lord come to me?

I mean... who cares what the Bible says? Don't you think we should make our decisions on more than that?

JW's getting creative (or desperate) to preach during the pandemic ....
by EdenOne inso, there's this social game called second life.. there one creates an avatar and can lead a parallel life.
there's a bit of everything, from general environments to adult.
it can be a hub for creative people, it can be a magnet for creeps.

Threating to Sue
by Ding inwhat is the wt doing these days if someone das but threatens to sue if the elders make an announcement that leads to shunning?.
i know the elders are supposed to notify the legal department, but what is the legal department telling them to do?.

Shepherd (2019) doesn't say what the legal department does, it just orders the elders to call them if someone threatens to sue (Ch. 15:18-20). They're also told not to comment on the case if it does go to court.
