I don’t know why these guys don’t feel embarrassed telling others how to simplify their lives. I guess it depends what side of the fence you are on.
When they encourage other to simplify it means giving up all « luxuries »
On the other hand their so-called simple life consists of having everything taken care of by others
The C.O gave a similar talk here
A week before the cong. passed a resolution to donate a yearly amount (so much a pub.) to look after the C.O and wife’s teeth.
One brother commented afterward: « He and he wife are going around with perfect smiles while half the kids in this cong. have rotten teeth »
Their parents, living the simple life, can’t afford to take them to the dentist.
