Beards, can someone explain?
by Satans little helper incan someone give me a sensible explaination as to why the jw's have banned beards?
i was df'd in '90 just as this was becoming a big deal and at the time i thought it was completely rediculous what with jesus probably having a beard.
it was one of the many things that led me to seeing that the gb make arbitrary rules and that the organisation has more to do with control than religion.

so no bible based reason for the prohibition then, I just wondered if they had come up with some new light to explain it

I absolutely love Xmas, the rampant comsumerism is something to laugh at rather than the jealous sneering of those still trapped within the Jehoovers witlesses. I love seeing my wife's face when she tries to work out which of the presents is this years sexy undies that I have got her and she loves the fact that I am like a big kid on Xmas day making up for the 18 that I missed

by BLISSISIGNORANCE intoday was a good day.

I got dobbed in a couple of times for smoking (I was) and continually got lectures and hassle for my like of heavy metal music. I once even got dobbed in for being seen snogging at a bus stop on my way to school one morning.
The incident that really got under my skin was one summer when I was staying at an elder's house and got dragged in to a room by him and another elder and grilled about someone else in the congregation. Turns out she was engaging in a bit of what she fancied with her fiance a couple of months before their marraige and I got hassle for not ratting them out, despite not being close friends of theirs and not knowing anyway.

how is your self confidence?
by freelife inone of the things that i have noticed since i have been out of the borg is how my self confidence always seems to be in the dumper.
i don't know if this is beause we were never permited to have any original thoughts or if it is just a personality flaw.
i am always looking for assurance from my fiancee, friends, and coworkers that i am doing good.

I know where you're coming from, for a long time I felt like nobody liked me because all of my 'friends' who were dubs had disowned me and I knew very few people that I had anything in common with. I still find it difficult to do smalltalk at times with people I don't feel totally comfotable with. Things change, my wife has done wonders for my self esteem - often with a 'don't be so friggin stupid, you're a great bloke' type comments. You will get through it, just be open with your fiancee

I totally agree, basically he is agreeing with a belief construct that says that might is right, because the christian god says 'worhip/love/respect me or I'll kill you' where's the love in that?
I am firmly of the belief that religion truly is the opium of the masses and appeals to those in pain or with some hole in their life - the loss of a loved one or the breakdown in a relationship. Why would someone with a fulfilled life fall for this crap?

AAF,
i apreciate your kind hearted feelings towards posters here but your attitude really troubles me. You have left an organisation which controls it's flock by the twisted use of scripture to deny the opportunity to question it's edicts, yet we are clearly encouraged in scripture to question what we are taught.
Those who do not question are open to being mislead by the interpretation of men, if there is a god (and I am not totally convinced) then he wouldn't be the egotistical being described in the bible. Wake up and examine what you are being taught, It's BS
Why would you escape from false religion to dive straight back into slavery?

It could be worse, my father decided a couple of months before my wedding that it would 'trouble his conscience' to attend. I was disfellowshipped in '90 and didn't have anything to do with him for 6 or 7 years but he had a bad time one year and broke the ice. Since then he's regularly called to get help fixing his PC and we've met up for the occasional drink and rugby match. Out of the blue he decides that his conscience is troubled, fking prick.
