i remember knowing some jws that expressed their own personal viewpoints regarding what a scripture meant that was at odds with society teachings.
in the 60 and 70’s, that was pretty much tolerated until the great purge in 1979 and 1980. as a matter of fact, it wasn’t unusual for witnesses to get together and discuss personal questions and viewpoints they might have.
it wasn’t unusual to send letters to the society asking what was considered the right or wrong view.
As an elder, the question nearly all baptismal candidates ( lol that sounds so stupid) flunked was who was the faithful and discreet slave. Of course they changed their answer to that one too.
The kicker is you have to give the answers the organization teaches at the time. Even if they are wrong it doesn’t matter.
there are recommendations that we should start doubling up on masks.
some have even suggested that tripling masks would even be better!
what’s your opinion of wearing numerous masks?
Indoor tennis requires you to wear a mask if you are playing doubles but if you are playing singles you are exempt. Crazy

Funny how married couples were so scared to talk about their doubts that they both had the same thinking only didn’t want to say anything for fear that might get blackballed.

Mick, it’s true we were telling people to wait on Jehovah. To me that tells me many Witnesses didn’t 100% accept things but went along in the meantime. ( prospective apostates)...

There was a nearby congregation that went crazy. If you HINTED at any negative comment or attitude toward the elders , you were disfellowshipped for either apostasy or causing divisions.

what term would you use for a governor who enacts policies that directly cause the deaths of well over ten thousand and then covers up the death count for fear of prosecution?.

After 1980 , many Witnesses were more secretive and discreet about questioning Watchtower rules and understanding.
