Beards - September 2016 Watchtower

by Listener in

the issue of whether beards are acceptable or not is addressed in the september 2016 watchtower - well sort of.

it is as clear as mud as to whether they are allowed in places like australia, usa and britain.. 17. what are some factors that may affect whether a brother wears a beard?17 what about the propriety of brothers wearing a beard?

the mosaic law required men to wear a beard.

What about men who grow nose, ear and back hair?

Would this be distracting from the kingdom message?

Today's Text - Be Humble & Don't Judge (The Exact OPPOSITE Of What JW's Do!)

by Divergent in

jw
friends

another nauseating text which proves conclusively that jw's do not practise what they preach!.

monday, may 9. who are you to be judging your neighbor?—jas.

4:12.. humility restrains us from overstepping our authority.

moomanchu

Don't forget to turn in your field service report.

We need that to be able to judge you on how spiritual you are. HA

by JW_Rogue in

saw this while browsing through the good news brochure:.

is it any wonder people aren't listening to jws anymore?

what an absolutely delusional scene!

What's he doing with the toy sailboat in the pic with the group of people.

Describing how he died?

At least the bros don't have to wear ties in the new system.

2016 Memorial Done & Dusted

by steve2 in

well on this side of the planet, the southern hemisphere/ new zealand, the 2016 memorial service in local kingdom halls will be over for another year.

another great big anticlimax.

some family and relatives will have gone - but unless i ask my sister, i generally have no idea about attendance and partaker numbers.

The only person mentioned in the bible who didn't partake at the memorial was Judas Iscariot.

It's so awkward that people have to touch the emblems

by thedepressedsoul in

it's just so weird to me.

for a group that is against idolatry so much and yet each person has to "touch" the bread and wine.. one lady was standing and holding a baby.

she called the server over just so she could put her thumb on the bread and wine.. did jesus ever clarify what he wanted them to do in remembrance of him?

moomanchu

I agree. I asked my wife why don't they just ask any anointed to come up and have some instead of this passing the shit around nonsense

That is exactly what Christendom does, JW's strive to look different from main stream Christianity.

My answer to invitations to the memorial has been " I'm not one of the 144,000".

It's amazing how something so simple can get so twisted up by a religion.

When He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take this bread and eat it. This is My body which is broken for you. Do this to remember Me.”

My Personal Invitation to the Celebration of the Lord's Evening Meal

by TMS in

by no means is this a heartwarming "experience" illustrating how an ex-jw skillfully "reached the heart" of a current jw, moving them to re-examine their belief system.

that won't be my take on my half hour visit with an elder's wife last sunday.

no one scored points here as is almost always the case in these interactions.. we live at the extreme southern tip of texas, on the u.s.-mexico border in a city of about 200,000. twenty years ago there were 20 spanish language congregations, 2 english.
