I heard from someone once (so I'm not sure if it's true) that beards are a sign of wisdom and respect in some cultures. Perhaps the WTS discourages the wearing of beards for this reason. On some level, they realize they have no wisdom, and deserve no respect.
iiz2cool,
that is such a good statement and so true - with all the nonsense they put forward , wt is truly not worthy of any respect.
today is a special day for my husband and i,it is our 47th wedding anniversary.it is special because ,up to this day we still very much united and still in love.we have had like many other our hard times.we got married in the catholic church,in venice,and thanks god we did not need the elder to tell us what to do with our selfs.
we always work out according to our necessity,and situations.
we always have been faithful to each other,honest and sincere as been and still our priority,perfect parents?
i really applaud you for your strenght and determination to better yourself and I believe you are on the right path - self expression through arts and music is trully therapeutic and liberating.
and taking part in disscussion boards like this one is great help, where you can read life stories, research articles,express yourself and your opinion on different subject and allong the way make friends who will accept you with no strings attached.
I wish you all the best and hope to hear more from you.

I believed that jws can teach us about bible and in the same time we could learn language;also we needed to feel accepted ( we just arrived as immigrants to a new country);and there was good things we learned, from all this jws experience - among others that we were able to see manipulation and hypocracy and to break free from it.
