  Besides Beards . . .

  by neat blue dog in

  beards have been talked about a lot, especially with the recent wt article, but what about other types of non-mustache facial hair, like goatees chinbeards and soul patches?.

  in my own experience i've seen a white young man with big handlebars and a soul patch run mikes, do literature and give talks not too long ago.

  i saw a black older man with a sizeable soul patch as the focus of one shot in a jw.org video about an annual meeting a few years ago.

  Well in response to an inquiry, (its posted on jwfacts I believe), they specifically said that having a beard will not prevent someone from going in the ministry or even giving a talk on the school. It only affects additional 'privileges' based on the local elders opinions. If any elder says you can't go out in service or give a part on the school, they're making their own rules.

  Yes, I've seen a number of black jws with a soul patch, (really not a patch, but more of a thin line), under the lip. Ironically like I said the only actually puffy soul patch I've seen on a jw was coupled with handlebars on a white dude . . . and he was allowed privileges. I was quite surprised to see goatees (chin beards) on a few brothers with privileges, because they seem to be outlawed almost everywhere the beard is.

I saw a goateed man from the RBC in a slideshow shown at a assembly hall dedication about five years ago, and another goateed man was an attendant at a District Convention about ten years ago. Tonight I also found this dating profile of a goateed man who claims to be a ministerial servant.

  

  Has anybody here seen or tried anything other than a full beard or mustache and got away with it, or seen it happen?

  That song is a guilty pleasure of mine. I already heard it months ago, but I just had to press play again. It just burrows itself into your head for better or worse. 😵

  Back on topic, I prefer to call you undub, it's just clever and unique.

  hey simon, .

  the recent closure of jwr made me realize that this site may not be eternal as well.

  a great deal of people attach a lot of importance to xjw communities and yours is the best.

  JWN users don't like mods and rules. Reminds them of elders, too close to home 😉

  Not sure if this was mentioned already, but every page should be backed up on archive.org wayback machine already anyway. Heck, you can even go see old pages from jw.org and the sites that preceded it, jw-media.org and watchtower.org

  New songs unexpectedly released . . .

  by neat blue dog in

  2. beliefs

  earlier this year it was announced to all congregations that the new silver songbook would ultimately be made of 150 songs, (matching the number of psalms in the bible).

  however, they've apparently changed there minds in the last few months, because songs 152-154 were just posted to both jw-org and jw broadcasting.. https://www.jw.org/en/whats-new/.

  Did you notice that there is no song 151 to be seen? It jumps from 150 to 152. I wonder if they're going to backpeddle now on releasing that deluxe silver softcover prototype they showed at the annual meeting, or if they'll even limit the number of songs in the revised songbook now . . .
