  Beards - September 2016 Watchtower

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the issue of whether beards are acceptable or not is addressed in the september 2016 watchtower - well sort of.

  it is as clear as mud as to whether they are allowed in places like australia, usa and britain.. 17. what are some factors that may affect whether a brother wears a beard?17 what about the propriety of brothers wearing a beard?

  the mosaic law required men to wear a beard.

  Is this a new practice?

  my husband and i recently moved back to our hometown so we are back on the radar for the elders.

  we have been happily inactive the last few years.

  the other day a brother, who was once friends with my husband, and a substitute circuit overseer stopped in my husband's work for a shepherding visit if they still call it that.

  You don't seem to be aware of the JW practice of witnessing to mourners at open grave sites at cemeteries

  I don't think they make a demarcation between invading your living space and your work space, I was hustled during my morning Starbucks ritual, a little embarrassing as I was trying to distance myself in a small community, no space is sacred, I don't see this ever changing sadly, I moved far away and have bought myself some peace finally,

  Hopefully your experience is better!

  Don't know your history but mine goes effectively back to the 1960s where it was known as "business territory"

  You're suggesting it's used as well for shepherding calls, not surprising,

  I believe this would be an example of "the problem of evil" which is a prime argument working against the ideal of a real and loving creator,

  First time back in a KH in 8 months

  so... one of my employees is a miserable servant and was giving the pt and invited me to come knowing full well i was faded out, i go along cos i respect him and thought why not, i must admit i was a little nervous headed back there (a neighboring hall not my old one) i saw alot of familiar faces and some old friends who were aware of my fade, all so pleased to see me at a meeting again and i can sum up how i felt about the experience like this.. .

  have you ever been to a party and been the only sober person there and are totally aware of the ridiculous things said and going on?

  that's what it felt like except the party would have been more fun of course,... all these good people, drunk off their heads on wt propaganda and false hopes, the irony was the talk was titled "does your life have meaning?".

  i wish i was kidding, but i have heard this idea suggested lately as a defense of the wts.

  this is god's organization, even though it attracts crazy people, and because it attracts crazy people.

  "unlettered and ordinary," et cetera.. i don't get it.
