Sab, regarding beating against authority...that all depends if it is actual authority or if it is self-proclaimed authority. The orgs 'authority' is self-proclaimed and therefore invalid.

By the way the grooming point on your youtube is wrong. Paul is the source for expecting a higher standard from God's people

in grooming modestly as a principle not our shepherds. It is also a reflection of the mosiac cleanliness of god's people.....debator/Reniaa

Back in the Day you could get counseled for hair being too long..

Now your counseled if it`s too short..LOL!!..

Grooming is`nt about Cleanliness in the WBT$..It`s about control..

I can`t count how many times I smelled a JW..

Who needed a bath but looked like the WBT$ demanded..

we simply conform to the cultural standard of being well-groomed. Being bearded was very much a statement against authority in recent decades and now this is fading as is the rule against it for the same reason and hense why more brothers have neat beards these days. The principle is to be well-groomed according to the current standard of a country.

I am not going to lose sleep over whether I can be bearded or not. that seems a little gnit-picky of you? Our leaders are given a certain amount of autonomous rule within the flock. We are not told to wear a uniform but to be tidy and neat according to modesty within these times and bible principle. In bible times a skirt cut below the knees would be seen as extremely immodest as would a t-shirt top.

Applying bible principle in modern settings is a good part of our shepherds jobs so we don't lose the flavour of bible principles.

We don't wear a uniform, we can easily show our individuality without needing to goto immodest extremes or making bold statements in uncleanliness.

-bator, bator bator you false prophet you! LOL

You can word it with as much verbosity as you like and window-dress it as you may...but it doesnot change the fact that the org is a mind-control cult...of which you are not a part of but still fantacize after.

Oh is that all it is? Well when you put it THAT way.

Talk about sugar-coating.

You know Debator makes a good point.

Maybe beards were considered rebellious back in the day. It's actually a perfect example of mind control at it's most BASIC level.

"You can have beards because society considers them rebellious"

"OK! No beards!"

"Society doesn't think they are rebellious anymore"

"OK! Beards are in!"

Talk about lemmings.

Its called cult mind control.

APOSTATE:

A person who forsakes his religion, cause, party etc.

Why do most here think that is such a bad word?
Even the JW's could be called an Apostate if they had a former religion before they became a Jehovah's Witness..

I guess it depends on how they say it to you..

BTW, my jw hubby only said that to me one time..he knew better than to say it twice. Love doesn't do that and I told him so. He never said it again. ...

Snoozy

Snoozy, to further your point all Christians are Jewish apostates.

BULLSHIT..JW`s conform to WBT$ Rules..Period

Being bearded was very much a statement against authority in recent decades and now this is fading as is the rule against it for the

same reason and hense why more brothers have neat beards these days. The principle is to be well-groomed according to the current standard of a country.

More Nonsense..Rutherford outlawed Beards..

Russel wore a Beard..

Rutherford wanted to get every bit of influence Russel had,out of the WBT$..

Learn your WBT$ History...DimWit..

I am not going to lose sleep over whether I can be bearded or not. that seems a little gnit-picky of you?

Not many Women worry about whether they can grow a Beard or not..

So I doubt your losing any sleep over it..

Making shit up as you go along,won`t work here..

Unlike you..

There are Real JW`s on this board..Who know WBT$ History and Rules..
