No beards...even Jesus! Strange Watchower rule for brothers!
by Witness 007 inwatchtower 1954 p.511 "why do watchtower publications now show jesus with short hair and no beard?
because he is shown that way in older representations of him that are older then the traditional effeminate looking pictures.".
watchtower 1968 p.286 "bible evidence and a recent review shows that jesus did have a beard..." charles russell style of beard was popular at bethel...till rutherford took over.

Hey Ozzie! So sorry to hear about the Mrs.
Funny, I remember you quite often, you once made a comment about your wife making you help with laundry or something and you decided to just hang everything on hangars instead of using laundry pins/clips and I thought, 'good grief! why aren't I doing that? I needed a man from down under to point out the obvious?!" ha, so I often chuckle about that as I am still doing that and think of you and hoped you were doing well.
cheers!

Awakes says playing Chess is evil not for Witnesses!
by Witness 007 inawake 73 3/23 p.12 "the spirit of compatition between players can lead to unpleasant circumstances...in some homes tensions linger longer then checkmate.
chess is a game of war a play substitute for the art of war...danger of stirring up compatiton and hostility to one another something the bible warns christians to avoid.
what effect does playing chess have on you is it wholesome?

My jw quit playing chess with the kids when he joined in the early 90's because it was a 'war game'. The ban on chess still had legs at that time. No one has asked him to play since.

Sorry it already has been covered, guess I didn't use correct key words.
Justice sure moves slowly doesn't it?

Where are the Jehovah's Witnesses in Afghanistan?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inreligion in afghanistan.
blue mosque in mazar-i-sharif is the largest mosque in afghanistan.
an estimated 99.7% of the afghan population ( 40,218,234 ) is muslim and most are thought to adhere to the sunni hanafi school.

It was my understanding that jw's never go anywhere that traditional Christians have not already been. Would that be correct? I don't think they do Muslim countries at all do they?
(not saying Christian missionaries have not been in Afghanistan but the thought of getting your head lopped off for apostasy would make one think twice before doing so).
How about the Congo? or deep Amazon forest? Tibet? I would imagine there are many places that have never heard of jw's. Heck, people in the States don't even know what they believe including many jw's!

World War 3
by Reservations ini’m calling it folks, world war 3 looks like it’s a done deal.. belarus has entered ukraine, and nato is involved heavily, just not “boots on the ground”.. will there be a nuclear exchange?
i would have said no 5 days ago, now i’m not so sure.. how will this effect wt?
probably more of the same fear mongering..

"How will this effect WT? Probably more of the same fear mongering."- yes and every jw will be in good mood gleefully talking about war, pestilence, etc.... they live for times like these. Pandemics, war, 'persecuting' jw's around the globe, courts taking action against their pedo cover ups.... they are all probably flying pretty high right about now. Downright giddy with excitement I suspect.

Penpals
by Jer8226 inmy ex-husband is in prison for ..well a while longer and has recently became very interested in the study of jehovah.
(forgive me if i say anything incorrect- i am not religious in any way but do respect all choices!
) he is looking for some penpals to help make the time go by faster and to really learn more about the religion so he can make a difference in his community once he gets out.

If he is already only speaking about jehovah then someone has already gotten to him in prison and he is probably on his way to becoming one. Keep your kids far away from kingdom halls (that is what jw's call their 'churches') and anything to do with jw's.
see https://jwfacts.com/ for more information on this insidious cult.
I wish you and your children all the best going forward in what must be a hellish situation.
