I’m very sure many elders get off knowing the dirt on everyone else.
Here is another thing that has to play out in their homes. Their wives need to know the latest gossip. If the elder tells her, the confidentiality is out the window. If he doesn’t tell her, you know the marriage is strained.
I feel bad for all the ones that have to go to prison exercising their neutrality. Upon release, you are a convicted felon and struggle to find employment I’m sure.
the latest issue of the watchtower shows a man with a beard praying.. .
i fully expected to see him 'progress' to clean-shaven in the following pictures, but instead he is still bearded when 'applying bible principles'.. .
i then realized that he was already featured on the cover itself.. .
I’m not aware of any US congregations that allow a brother to hold privileges with a beard. A brother could be a sterling example always commenting at meetings and out on field service, but wouldn’t even be allowed to rove with the microphones, because they are a “bad example”. They will guilt you to an extreme in order to get you to shave it off.

From your perspective, why do you believe the elders treated him that way?
it feels like we've really turned a corner, this morning especially.. the covid lockdowns are ending and medical systems were not overwhelmed plus there are existing treatments that have been proven to be effective (like hydroxychloroquine) and new vaccines and medicines in the pipeline.
a week or so ago the dems were dead against opening things up but since they are encouraging protests (which often turn violent) they can't continue that stance - thus proving trumps claim that it will soon be gone.
the majority of the deaths were politician-assisted (which i hope people are prosecuted for) so it's not the big risk we were led to believe and (over) reacted to.. the bls reported this morning that the us economy just added a huge number of jobs (most on record) and will undoubtedly benefit even more from a drive to source local production and supply chains going forwards.
Look at the jobs report.

It’s great news, yet they had to add in that unemployment grew slightly for blacks. The fucking media are now bringing racism into the unemployment figures, they are so fucking retarded!
i agree with people who say all lives matter.
i think blm is a racist group.
if white people pushed an agenda saying white lives matter, some people would have a conniption..
As Minimus stated, they want the police eliminated. They want something like “The Purge” to be the norm. Read about it, they want the police defunded.
I hate to wake people up, but Police brutality happens to all races. There is a way to solve it. Eliminate or drastically reduce your encounters with the police. How? Don’t break the law, don’t walk around in a hoodie looking suspicious in 80 degree weather is a start. This is not about race like the dumb fucking media is selling.

This is another update on an imprisonment
Dennis Christensen, Now Imprisoned in Russia for Three Years, Remains Steadfast and Joyful
As of today, Brother Dennis Christensen has endured three years of unjust imprisonment in Russia. Since his arrest on May 25, 2017, some friends have asked Brother Christensen how this tribulation has affected his faith. His answer has remained the same: “My faith has become only stronger.”
It appears they are saying someone can improve spiritually by attending no meetings, no field circus, nor associating with the brothers and sisters.

NEWS ALERT | Crimean Supreme Court Sentenced Brother Artem Gerasimov to Six Years in Prison
On June 4, 2020, the Crimean Supreme Court sentenced Brother Artem Gerasimov to six years in prison for his peaceful Christian worship. He was seeking acquittal from his original sentence by the Yalta City Court, which was a fine for 400,000 rubles (approx. $6,000 U.S.). The appeal ruling immediately came into force and Brother Gerasimov was taken into custody. He will appeal this decision.
Am I reading this right? He simply appealed the fine, and to add insult to injury, they threw him in prison for losing the appeal to the fine?

”After covid”? Are you saying you believe we have covid behind us and we’ve seen the worst of it?
Simons subject states after as well. You both believe it’s done?

I feel we’ve turned the corner as well and things are looking up. But I feel a lot of this shit has been rigged to accomplish many agendas. Just give it a few weeks and the next big thing will happen. I hope that I’m wrong.
the fake news wants us to believe that one cop who murdered one person sparked all this.
i am seeing this crap in london and around the world.
this does not make any sense.
