So, the answer depends on who writes and/or edits the Watchtower or Awake that particular month & year.
Has it ever been any other way??
can you be sexually sterilised?no, it is absolutely wrong - w59 7/1 p. 416 questions from readers.
however, it is absolutely wrong for a person to think that in order to stay free for the kingdom service and avoid family responsibilities in the way of children he is justified in getting himself sexually sterilized.. .
no, it is harmful - w61 12/1 p. 735 questions from readers.

NOT SURE IF THIS APPLIES
Yes, it does. To everyone except Jehovah's Winesses. JWs are special and do not need to follow the same rules they demand everyone else to follow.
an aging family member the other day related this gleefully who btw claims to have his prayers answered for the most mundane things...like a ride to the recent regional convention just because he asked almighty jah for it...anywhoo.... he related that a national satellite provider wanted to charge him an early termination fee for cancelling his service..... ..well he gets on the phone and tells them he is an "old coot" who is homeless and going into an old folks home...so what do they do?.
write off the fee for.the "old coot" jw who has no trouble lying thru his teeth just to get out of a fee he agreed to pay because no doubt he knows jah would be pissed if he didnt let his yes mean yes and his no..no.... real story?
he just sold his home and is sitting on the proceeds from the sale...... so many jws actions i have seen thru the years scream they have no belief in god....well the angry delusional wt god they claim to give their devotion to.....
It would not be reasonable to expect people to be honest who are immersed in the WT culture of lies. Monkey see, monkey do.
i overheard this argument re the new tract campaign.
one elder told a publisher, to hide the tract in the mailbox if the home owner wasn't home.
the publisher was used to folding the tip of the tract, and just left a tip showing.
I thought JWs were supposed to follow the law of the land, unless it conflicts with God's law.
Wrong. JWs follow the law of the land only when it's personally convenient to do so or until it conflicts with Watchtower law. Then a JWs obedience to "Caesar" goes right out the window.
Obedience to secular authority is another WT concept that looks good on paper but has no real-world application in JW Land.
i hope no one here get's injured when they see this and their jaw hits the floor:.

I remember getting a lecture about handing out invitations to a "get together" at the hall
You can say "party" now. Apparently WT now approves of that term since it was plastered on the KH wall in big, bold letters. When I was growing up in WT using the word "party" for any JW gathering was strictly verboten, as it was a "worldly" term.
besides 'walking briskly from door-to-door'.... what advice would fit in well to a jw.

Enjoying life is bad for your health. Don't do it! The best prevention against enjoyment is to stick closely to the Watchtower's weekly routine.

Ironically, it wasn't that long ago WT was also saying the same thing about black people. Listen up, Sam Herd:
"The white rulers of Britain have superior mental and moral abilities. Blacks however, are gaining ground." - Golden Age May 5, 1926, p. 483.
"there is no servant in the world as good as a good colored servant" (Golden Age, July 24th 1929)
"The secret of the greater intelligence and aptitude of the Caucasian un-
doubtedly in great measure is to be attributed to the commingling of blood
amongst its various branches; and this was evidently forced in large measure by
circumstances under divine control. It remains to be proven that the similar
commingling of the various tribes of Chinese for several centuries would not
equally brighten their intellects; and the same with the peoples of India and
Africa." ("Zion's Watch Tower," July 15, 1902, p.216)

If we're all supposed to be content with our "place" in life, then why did Sam Herd move from being a rank-and-file asshole to being a GB asshole? Shouldn't he have been happy being just an average asshole?
What next from the GB? Because women have smaller craniums it means they are also raging masterbaters?

inside theKH: this is such a non-story
Unless you are Jim Murah.
I'm guessing by your callous attitude you are still an active JW, insidetheKH ?
Can you honestly look at that photo and say the JWs had no other options as to KH placement? Really?
as you know i am still in but have no strong conviction for this cult..but i still go because my wife is still asleep to the false teachings.
for a few months now...when we have family study it is stricly from the bible.
which is great, while we study we are taking the bible as it is, i think it is opening her eyes and how important jesus is.
Doc House: It's EASY to learn fallacy. When people teach their OPINIONS as to what GOD'S prophecies mean- that does NOT make them false prophets. Just very indiscreet...
Well then, Doc, by your own mouth you just invalidated the WT/GB as the "faithful and DISCREET slave". So why do you defend them?
BTW- your excusing of WT's false prophecies contradicts the Bible's description of what constitutes a false prophet.
You are a prime example of self-contradiction and arguing from a position of delusional ignorance.
