  Nah, no more than you share guilt by eating at a restaurant that once catered a church gathering. It's irrelevant because it's just paying for a service. Question is: why? It costs money, so why is it worth it?

  So . . . then it's a luxury? If they're trying to cut back, why now pay regular fees to a company just so the brothers can download their stuff a little bit faster? There's got to be more to it.

  JW Stream congregation meetings

  last october if i'm not mistaken, wifi bandit leaked a letter which mentioned not only recordings of regional and circuit assemblies, (which he uploaded to youtube), but also recordings of congregation meetings, which the letter said would only be online for one week each.

  unless i missed it, none of these have been leaked as of yet.

  has anyone seen or heard of this?.

  I have NEVER come across porn by accident and I honestly don't know how such a thing could happen. That's just not how the internet works.

  Besides Beards . . .

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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 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. 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?
