There are so many reactions from all over the world. When we preachers did not need to report. Then came one of the big ones, now brothers can have beards, just look how long that topic is 54 pages. Then came another surprise nice pants for sisters, no tie or suit jacket for brothers.
What about the topics that have with now more right-minded people can join after the great tribulation, now a Christian who has a relative who is disfellowshipped or you have had a study with someone who has been disfellowshipped, invite him, her to a meeting. This new guidance that the elders will go through now in a short time and that will be read out in all the congregation that correspond to Brother Sanderson's speech.
It can save more lives than beards, ties, no ties, skirts, dresses or nice pants.
We don't yet know why we can dress differently now than before, we will surely find out when the time is right.
What we are going through now we had in a study magazine just 2 years ago:
Do You Trust in Jehovah’s Way of Doing Things?

Paragraf 15: As the end of this system of things draws near, we need to trust in Jehovah’s way of doing things as never before. Why? During the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical. Of course, Jehovah will not speak to us personally. He will likely provide direction through his appointed representatives. That will hardly be the time to second-guess the direction or to view it with skepticism, wondering, ‘Is this really coming from Jehovah, or are the responsible brothers acting on their own?’ How will you fare during that crucial time in human history? The answer might be indicated by how you view theocratic direction now. If you trust the direction we receive today and readily obey, you will likely do the same during the great tribulation.—Luke 16:10.
I know it says: During the great tribulation, at the same time it says: How will you fare during that crucial time in human history? The answer might be indicated by how you view theocratic direction now. If you trust the direction we receive today and readily obey, you will likely do the same during the great tribulation.
There will be situations we don't know what to do, so many questions, should brothers who bring sound, microphones, who are not up on the platform wear a tie, just an example.
Until we get more guidance let's rather think, if we wonder what should we do, do something good.
Again I just have to apologize that my English is not so good which unfortunately results to me being misunderstood.
I promise to love you more even though I haven't seen you before (from a convention song)
