The day before yesterday when I was at the hall (third time without mask) the elder that conducted the watchtower confronted me as I remain the only one that does not wear a mask the exchange was pretty brief I said "a recommendation is a recommendation" and that "trust me if I thought a mask had any efficacy in protecting me from protein shedding I'd be wearing one" He probably saw my non compliance as undermining the watchtower we were going to go over that day insisting on obedience and equating the GB with God. I raised my hand a few times on the part of the watchtower on Sodom and the review question that included that territory but wasn't called on.
After the meeting I spoke with a nice brother in the parking lot that's transitioned from ministerial servant to elder recently to chat briefly on Genesis guy seems in his thirties but I noticed that his mind seemed slow and Alzheimer-y still recognizably himself but I suppose one could say a smaller self. Paying more attention I noticed his face was more gaunt and the lower half had severe asymmetry
I remember six months ago he was supportive of people having freedom of choice on the
but had been dosed himself. Not looking forward to observing people slow motion mentally and physically unravel
