Older sisters and long hair- now a no-no?

by Sadie5 in

ran into a jw yesterday who didn't mind talking to me.

she is 50+ and wears her hair long, about to the middle of her back.

she said she's been told by the brothers to cut her hair, that women her age should have short hair styles.

Sweetp0985

I thought women were not supposed to cut their hair. and why do they tell the men to cut their hair and beard but depict Jesus in every book with having hair and beard...Hmmmmm

What Flip-Flop teachings/beliefs do you think will come back?

by JH in

jw
friends

often the jw taught something, and came back a few years later to teach just the opposite.

example: will the men of sodom be resurrected?.

I agree with everyone on the Tithing issue. They are pretty much begging for money already. on they're website (ok I admit I peep it every now and then) I looked up what that say about tithing since it was under Mosiac law but they saw don't get tattoos when it was under the mosaic law also..Double standard. But when they see the money isn't flowing like it used to..they're gonna come out with some "New Light" saying some bull that Jehovah had provided them with new light that tithing is something he requires and that it's now time we start practicing it. After careful research of the scriptures we have come to this conclusion. They already have changed in saying it's now a conscience matter if you want to celebrate your birthday or not. They change for the season...Whatever fits their budget is new light. Like the thread on here about hobbies...When the money was coming in it was ok to have a hobby but now since the money has stopped they say "Box up your hobby....I'm just in a total pissed off mood today since yesterday so excuse my post if they are a little too hateful. I'm just pissed that everyone is trying to make me feel bad for not wanting to be a part of this s**t anymore..My mom made the comment to me earlier talking about JW's is the best religion even if they do have some LITTLE things that not true. In other words even if something they are teaching me is wrong I'm still gonna stay here because they are the best religion. They don't celebrate all the worldly holidays, etc. Then I told her about it being a conscience matter (according to one of their articles) and she got mad at me... I hung up on her.

NWT Hides the Divine Name as Found in W&H

by [email protected] in

nwt hides the divine name as found in w&h

one of the foremost features of the 1948 macmillan edition of the w&h

greek text is the careful identification and indication of ?quotations from the old testament.?

My lil piece of proof that they messed with the bible is John 1:1 and when you ask them about this they get all mad when they can't really explain it. John 1:1 in many other bibles refer to the Word being God. Ex. In the beginning was the Word, Word was with God, Word WAS God!....NWT says for the last part, The Word was A god. And like many people besides me says. If most of the bible (NWT) makes it very clear that Jehovah is THE ONLY TRUE GOD and then in John 1:1 is says WORD=JESUS was A god. Does that make Jesus a false god. You can't have 2 gods if only one is true. Ask them about this and they say Jesus was a lesser god. SO he still must be false if only one is true. So then they would have to rewrite the scripture to say "The Word was A LESSER GOD" but that would still make the other scriptures wrong that says Jehovah is the only true god..So then it would have to read a little something like this...The Word was A LESSER FALSE GOD. Not in a million years would they change the bible to read that, but that's basically what they're saying with what they have written.

Once Anointed, Always Anointed?

by Sweetp0985 in

maybe this is a questions i should be asking a active jw but they wouldnt like my question after their answer.

because i was reading an article that was talking about jesus came in 1918 or something to that matter, so more cockamamy s**t. but how do they feel about if an "anointed" person turns away from jehovah are they still considered anointed?

like for instance someone has been partaking of the emblems and for some weird reason they get df'd or just decide to stop taking the emblems.

Sweetp0985

I'm with you bubbamar. I have sooo many questions. But I mean I would think that people like Moses, Abraham, and other holy holy ones would definitely be in a much closer relationship with GOD then any of the "anointed" ones from C.T. Russell onward. I mean in the bible God himself said, well I'm not quite positive about it, but wasn't Abraham God's friend so wouldnt people like him be in heaven. I don't think that makes alot of sense. People before Christ's death were in a more perfect state than people from Russell onward so why would God choose people that were more imperfect to be in heaven with him than people he actually spoke to himself(Moses) I mean he even let Moses see him (his glory/backside). I'm sorry I just don't understand and I'm getting more and more frustrated because of other things going concerning JW's, such as people trying to force me back into it and making me feel guilty for not wanting to go back. (see thread I NEED ADVICE!!!) I'm almost at the point of just giving up and going back for the hell of it to shut them the hell up and then just go inactive after reinstatement if they do reinstate me.

So Justin are you saying that nobody before the pouring out of the holy spirit at pentecost is anointed? Moses, Abraham, etc. those are not considered anointed?

Like for instance someone has been partaking of the emblems and for some weird reason they get df'd or just decide to stop taking the emblems. Are they still anointed? Since I do know they feel all the disciples were anointed, was Judas Ischariot still anointed at the time of his death because he was sorry for what he did? I know it's a weird question, but alot of times I fell weird myself.

I'm waiting to have this experience.....

by Frannie Banannie in

a jdub (or pair of 'em) comes to my door with the mags......i ask them..."are you from earth?".

they look bewildered, saying, "yes...".

i say, "sorry, i don't trust earthling men/women.

Sweetp0985

I had some knock on my door at my new apartment and hoping they would write it on their little sheet to not return I told them I was disfellowshipped. Guess what, they came back again, I didn't even bother to open the door that time. But since I've found this website and have so many questions, I just might try to entertain them for a few minutes unless they recognize me. I was well known during my stint as a JW due to my "upper class" JW parents. They were in "the club".
