Must be really tough on younger ones who can only "visit" others via the internet. No more dressing up at the assemblies and roaming around in hope of meeting someone. As we know, even phone sex is now considered an evil sin.

the watchtower society doesn’t want your speakers to do anything but follow the outline
@Min ...
Exactly right. I don't really pay attention to anything much anymore when I do happen to go to a meeting, but they still may do the thing where an elder in the audience has a copy of the talk and reviews how closely the speaker follows it, especially for speakers from other congregations.

View it as a sign of the times, the end of this systems of things, being in the last days, fulfilling bible prophesy, etc.

You can't even tell what race they are and I imagine in about a hundred years, the matter of race will be a non issue.
@Pete .....
Yes. In a hundred years, you will only know where to find a Jew by going to a kosher deli, jewelry store or a furniture store.

Anybody not white
@min ...
But what today is "white"? My Columbian wife is "whiter" than I am. She has that Spaniard/Andulusian flamingo dancer white complexian. She needs like SPF 1000 to go to the beach or on the boat. Very white complexion. But of course, she is Hispanic.
I don't know, is she considered "white" or a woman of color?

I was somewhat skeptical about this video. But when I used some tools to listen in closely to the elder that told him to stop the talk, the elder simply told him "You can't keep giving this talk with your flies wide open."

JW's and the National Anthem/Flag
by Anony Mous inone thing we were always taught in the past is how we should sit down and pray (kneel) to jehoober whenever we were at an event where they played the national anthem.
we had to actively disrespect the flag and anthem and be no part of the world, because we were our own country with jesus as king.. given kneeling/sitting for the national anthem is now the favorite pastime of the far-left and if you do so, you get associated with democrats, how do jehovah's witnesses now 'become no part of this world' when they have to disrespect the flag?.

I see there is some concern now among the JW "upper management" about the sitting for the national anthem. Since sitting or taking a knee is considered a political or racial statement, there seems to be some internal buzz (from a very good source) that standing for the national anthem may be allowed at some point as long as you don't put your hand on your heart, sing or some other motion that displays "worship".
I already commented that we are allowed to stand up in court when a judge enters the room to show respect for the position. Why not stand up and show respect for the country? I would not put my hand over my heart to pledge allegiance to the judge. But standing is just a matter of respect for the position.

Excellent points. The world is more, well, as the movie title was, 50 Shades of Grey.

As soon as you can get a credit card, you can find some nice sisters online to talk to and discuss you inner feelings. You could even discuss your plans for your wedding night.
