  Only Jehovah's people

  today i went to a large talk.. there was no arguing or swearing, just kindness and respect.. it was orderly and calm.. trash was put in the proper place.

  people were even picking up litter that wasn't even theirs.. the speakers were passionate and inspiring.. the entire event was orchestrated by volunteers.. it was march for science, not a dub ass-embly.

  so much for "only jehoopla's people" behaving like this at large events..

  when i studied as a young adult, it was in one of those congregations.

  having viewed the religion as a quaint little band of christians it conpletely dumbfounded me when i was told about such rules as 1 - no beards.

  2 - you must wear a suit to meetings and while giving a talk.

  I grew up in a very strict Hall. We had some strict elders and loose ones. One was so strict he treated our congregation like it was boot camp haha.

  i am sure you have stories as well of elders being a hard ass on many, yet turning a blind eye to the 'sins' of their own family or close connections.

  cheers everyone!

  Hello Blondie nice to meet you! I might liken what the elders do to that of a task chart..... just get it done. Maybe many start out doing it from the heart but after a while I am sure it just becomes so draining to them that they don't care anymore. Oh well. Many will leave for those reasons.

  Hi Flipper nice to meet you! We have heard many stories of people being stalked by elders until it's discovered they are doing something against watchtower rules. And then there are stories of people who stopped going to the meetings and elders do nothing to check how they are doing. Yup it's crazy and definitely unloving!

  There is more of a concern to carry out duties in the congregation than actually caring about the people in the congregation.
