  It’s an interesting question.

  On the broader question of whether there is a purpose behind the universe check out the interesting work of philosopher Philip Goff. He describes himself as an atheist who has come to accept the overwhelming scientific evidence that there appears to be purpose or intentionality behind the physical makeup of our reality. He argues for a middle ground between religion and atheism, or between ‘Dawkins and the Pope’ as he puts. Whatever religious or philosophical conclusions one comes to in response to the apparent intentionality behind the universe, he argues that materialists have got their head in the sand with regard to the evidence of fine tuning of the universe and its implications.

  read:.

  but if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘my master is delaying,’b 49 and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards.

  hmm... let's see is anyone on the governing body a strict master and a drunkard?

  To misquote Harold Wilson, the Governing Body knows what’s going on. They’re going on!

  62% in the latest UK poll think arms to Israel should stop compared with only 16% who are happy to continue. Will government policy ever reflect public opinion?

  In modern parlance those letters deserve a trigger warning. In common sense terms be prepared to encounter some pretty twisted, manipulative language.

  Was Anyone Ever Disfellowshipped For Having a Beard?

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i read a comment somewhere that having a beard ( before such was allowed) was never a disfellowshippable offence.

  but does that mean that no-one who grew a beard was ever eventually disfellowshipped?.

  growing a beard when such was frowned upon would surely attract the attention of those with nothing better to do, and possibly lead to sniffing around to try and find things that the "disobedient" one was up to.

  You can never say it has never happened, because there are over 100,000 congregations, and some wacky elders out there, but it was never policy to disfellowship someone for a beard, I’ve never heard of a case, and it seems unlikely. If ever there was such a case the elders involved might explain the situation with reference to other factors in the case such as attitude and other behaviours rather than saying they disfellowshipped because of a beard alone.

  I wonder if anyone has ever been disfellowshipped for a tattoo. Not for a discreet one but for a visible one with a dubious depiction, or all over face or head, I can imagine it happening, though I don’t know any examples of that either.

  amazing new light in the latest morning worship by gary breaux.

  the gb "never lie or deceive us.

  we can have absolute trust in the governing body".. he then makes a very helpful point, so as to avoid being deceived and avoid lies.
