  Are Beards becoming more acceptable due to decline in membership?

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  i noticed a young brother with a beard being given more privelages within our hall.

  when he first grew his beard, he lost his privelages.

  but more and more recently he has been helping out a lot more.. the cobe is old school and a stickler for rules, but with the hall becoming more empty these days, and the need for young brothers, he seems to have relaxed on this particular watchtower/man made rule.

  Interview with Zimbabwe's Minister of Tourism at JW HQ

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  zimbabwe has been under the rule of a dictator since 1980. robert mugabe, the president of zimbabwe, is notorious for his ruthless ways of dealing with the problems of a post-colonial country.

  his land reforms resulted in much economic hardship for the people of zimbabwe and anyone who was a white farmer in zimbabwe suffered dire consequences as a result of mugabe's land grabs post-2000.

  the atrocities against the people of zimbabwe have been documented by cathy buckle and i have personally heard of the violence against those opposed to mugawbe's policies.. some comments from a 2003 article about robert mugabe:.

  by dubstepped in

  i've now seen a couple of references to this and did a little digging before leaving for work.

  i saw someone on reddit in july saying that someone on the inside said a change was coming in 2018 with the jw message, and i've now seen two references to this in the past week.

  help a former brother out.

    This has been in the JW mythos for a long, long time. And that is, during the great tribulation, the “door would close”. Then JWs would cease preaching the good news and preach a message of judgement, basically telling people they were going to die.

    oh bring it on ! groups of batshit crazy old women going out door knocking telling every one theyre going to die, just the new image jayworg needs.

  The end of this system is so very near.....NOT

  world headquarters of jehovah's witnesses - warwick, new york.

  “yes, the end of this system is so very near!

  is that no reason to increase our activity?… reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service.

  so looking at that link to google map--does the watchtower own all that--or are the tennis courts a separate plot over the road ?
