I have seen this type of thing [not a play like this] before. In that some congregations are much more liberal than other congregations. Some are old school and very very strict and others more open to letting others do their own thing. This would not fly in some KH. There may even be a letter sent to the KH to not let it happen again. Remember the KHs that had the baseball teems? They were told to knock it off.

The moron snowflakes are taking over and this is what you get. LMAO. When I was in my early 20s the society was putting out talks on backward masking and Queen was said from the platform to be a homosexual band that had messages back wards in their songs. Now its a skit on not so funny BS JW stage. LMAO

Anti vaccines
by blisterfeet ini personally feel that vaccinations are beneficial.
there has been a modern movement that vaccinations are more harmful than beneficial to which i disagree.
what is your stance as an ex jw on vaccinating your children?

The JWs were totally anti vaccine back in the day. It relaxed sometime in the 50s and 60s. I was not vaccinated as a child. I can remember some telling house holders that they can not send their kids to school if they require vaccines. The cult is and has been bat shit crazy. The idea that vaccines cause autism is such a load of garbage. Some will accept anecdotal things without thought and reject known researched facts. The JWs early on were anti main stream medicine. This is why so many of the older ones were into Homeopathy [a total Crock of crap fake treatments] Chiropractic and other holistic medicine. I knew of an older couple an elder his wife and their kids who believed whole heartedly that you need to go to a chiropractor every few months to get an "adjustment" because disease and sickness started in the bones. I had a renter who had cancer and went to chinese medicine and he was telling me how it was so much better than western medicine. He died a few weeks later.

Another hypocritical meme

I don't know what that even means. They don't help the poor or anyone. Rarely do they even really help other JWs. Sure they will drop off a pot of chicken soup once in a while when a JW who attends most every meeting is sick and they like them, but other than that they don't help. Unless you call giving a homeless person a watchtower.

He is still and elder and very old but I doubt he has changed. we used to call him. would tell his wife everything and his kid my one time friend would tell me. I mean down to who cried and for what what and when. I don't believe this was a rarity. I knew one elder I worked for who would tell me things that went on about two couples swapping partners then he would laugh. I would never thing my info was safe with an elder.

Is Being a “Manly Man” a Bad Thing?
by minimus inso much is said regarding men , in a negative way.
shaving commercials are now lecturing us as to how bad we really are.
men should be less masculine.

The Gillette add has a lot wrong with it. Some good messages but one point is a corporation that has no relation to a political issue should never ever get in on that issue. You have one job as a corp. To make money and when you jump in like Levis did with guns and Nike did with BLM you push away some of your customers for absolutely no reason. No one was wondering where Nike was on BLM or Levis on guns.
Next is no one wants to be told what to do or how to live by a company you spend your money on to shave. Gillette ran with politically charged phrases like Toxic Masculinity will alienate some. When you don't have to tick off a customer base don't do it. There were points of men over BBQs like this is some kind of misogynistic activity.
Next is the add seems to be disingenuous. Since there is no reason for a company who sells shaving cream and blades to get involved in political issues or that men should not treat women badly then why do it? To get any kind of attention. The old adage even bad press is good seems to fit here.
Next is its biased. You don't see Lady Schick with adds saying don't be a bitch be better do you? Or Afro sheen saying in an add don't be a hood rat drug dealer you can be better. Or Taco Bell saying don't cross the boarder illegally you can be better. Or showing rappers call women whores and sluts and skanks and say don't be disrespectful to women.

It depends on the elders you are dealing with. I was always told unless some extraordinary circumstances at least one year. But it really depends on the elders. If they don't like you its going to be a long hard slog. If they sympathize with you it may not be so bad. Each one is different. I have seen or heard of people who would cry a river and ask for forgiveness and still got the ax for over a year. It just depends on the elders no exceptions.

The world really is all over the place crazy today. Gillette just did an add where they did the whole manly thing. Toxic masculinity. Its very convoluted in my opinion. The old days of a boss slapping the ass of a secretary is now seen as assault. And it should be. But its gone from treating women or blacks or minority's with respect to now its OK to attack men and especially white men as vial pigs who are no better than dogs. This will and is back firing on the radical left wing who pushes it. You can not make a rape or murder right by doing another rape or murder.
The idea of white privilege does not exist. Privilege does exist but do you think that Will Smiths or Micheal Jordan's kids don't have privilege? I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Every thing I have was made by working long nights and week ends, saving and investing every dime. I would be working week ends when I could hear the boats and motor cycles of people enjoying their time off. It has paid off but it was hard. I had no privilege.
