  JWLITE

  even elders can be part of the new jw lite brigade these days.

  they don’t need to go on door to door anymore and there is no requirement for anything really.. taking meeting parts is all dead easy you could turn up on the day with zero preparation because it’s all in the meeting workbook.. quarterly elders meetings are just old men having a good old natter just like old men do down the pub.. congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times.. no need for territory maps, these almost went away with covid letter writing now they are extremely slow getting finished as those who still go door to door only do ten mins.. you could even voice your questions these days about things the gb say and then just say “we can’t be dogmatic we just don’t know”.

  i predict they will say this about 1914 soon..

  so there was nothing in scripture about brothers having beards... do the 'scriptures condemn sisters wearing pants'...???.

  excessive control.

  the september 2016 watchtower article "does your style of dress glorify god?

  JW lite is--in fact--nothing new.

  Back in the 60s i knew lots of male dubs who fitted the bill completely: dragged along by their wives, never answering up, no door knocking, no ministry school, many smoked. Some only ever showed up on nisan14--to get their card stamped.

  Rubber dubs.

  New Study: Mars Once Was Completely Covered in Oceans

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "the new study indicates that the oceans that covered the entire planet in water were at least 300 metres deep.

  they may have been up to one kilometre deep.".

  yet, some secularists say they are sure that the earth was never completely flooded with water above the tops of mountains as described in genesis.

  New GB update - beards are now perfectly ok (no really!)

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to save y’all the agony of having to sit & watch lett (looking even more puffy and jaundiced than the last time), here is a summary:.

  beards are now perfectly fine for anyone & everyone, including ministerial servants, elders, and “special full time servants” (cos and betheliites).. but don’t go and feel “vindicated” — even if you knew you were right about beards, you shouldn’t run ahead of jehovah’s “chariot”.. so there you go.. if you need explicit permission from a puffy steroid addled facial contortionist with an increasingly ridiculous combover to make personal grooming decisions…you might be in a cult .

  i suppose if people do believe in god--then, to them He is real. But How do they perceive him? Is he a giant invisible man in the sky ? Do these people have this belief to compensate for something missing in their lives ? Or is it some kind of guarantee of living after death?

  How many members on here came to believe in god as adults rather than having it stuffed into them as children ?

  Beans ? ( human beans )

  But--seriously. to those of you that believe in God: do you all believe the same thing ?

  For instance--do you believe that God is a HE ?

  Is He invisible?

  Where is He?

  How big is He ?

  How long has He been ( bean!) in existence ?

  Is He bigger than the universe ? or is He inside you ?
