Need a confidence boost.
Just shaved my head because I have a bad receding hairline. Not sure how I feel about the shave yet but kinda need a confidence boost!

If you’re in a position where you can do so safely, I’d encourage you to consider withdrawing your support from the organization completely.
I know this isn’t possible for everyone. Many are PIMO, have family ties, or risk losing relationships. This isn’t aimed at those who would face serious consequences. Your safety and circumstances come first.
But if you are in a position to act, every role you stop filling makes a difference.
Stop attending meetings if you can.
If that’s not possible, stop going on the ministry.
If you’re an elder or ministerial servant, consider stepping down.
Come off the school.
Stop volunteering for microphones, A/V, literature, attendants, cleaning, or any other assignments.
The organization depends almost entirely on volunteers. Kingdom Halls don’t function without people willing to give their time and energy for free. Every person who quietly steps back increases the strain on the system.
For years we’ve hoped for reforms from the top, but meaningful change usually comes when organizations are forced to respond to pressure. A shortage of volunteers, fewer people attending, and fewer willing to take on responsibilities sends a message that can’t be ignored.
The Governing Body only has influence because millions of people continue to support the structure. The less support they receive, the harder it becomes to maintain the image that everything is thriving.
I’m not suggesting anyone put themselves at risk. If you’re PIMO and need to keep up appearances, I completely understand. But for those who have the freedom to step back, maybe it’s worth asking yourself: what’s the smallest thing I can stop doing that reduces my support for the organization?
Real change often starts with thousands of small individual decisions.
