The brother that gave our "special talk," did mention that the International BIble Students, as we were known then, in the late 1800's pointed to 1914 as an important pivotal year......Hmmm, it seems that it was much more than a "pivotal year" to those early Bible Students.

Are You A Pharisee? No? Are You SURE? :-)
by FireNBandits inare you a pharisee?
have you ever wondered what the modern equivalent of a pharisee wearing a phylactery is?
(for those who dont know, a phylactery was a little box that ancient jews would secure to their forehead with a strap, and inside the box was the shema or other important scriptures.

If most men decided to wear a beard today, would the JW's follow?
by JH inthe jw's will say that in jesus time, it was ok to have a beard because it was their custom back then, and today jw's should not have a beard because it's not our custom to have one today.. since the world is ever changing, it will continue changing, and beards might come back and be popular once more.. it's only a cheap excuse on their part, because they will never accept beards, even if every man wore one today..

It depends on who's running things back at headquarters. I am fairly sure that the Creator of the Universe couldn't care less.
If anyone in the congregation is troubled by beards, and says something to the elders, then it is the elder's duty to remind the offending hairy one, that if it stumbles your brother or sister.......
This will not change until the leaders come right and say......"It's ok now for you brothers to let your beards grow."

The elder that gave the talk this week in our Service Meeting on "extemporaneous" speaking, couldn't pronounce it. He tried a couple of times, then gave up and avoided using it in the rest of his talk.

Another excellent source of information for this thread is "Joel's Journal and Fact Filled Fart Book." I found it very moving!

As far as the penis/testicle reduction surgery is concerned, I was faced with this same delima. Should I, or shouldn't I?
Instead of having the surgery, I chose to use a "sling/harness" system. You don't see it under your clothes, and it really does help with the weight of the situation. No more lower back pain!!
My heart goes out to you guys.
