shadowclone, I mean no disrespect but am wondering if you were expected to bring those foster children to the kh while they were in your home? were they expected to read wt's & awake's? if a judge (or other) required you to bring them to a church each Sunday would you have and what would your congregation & elders have to say then?

3Ukrainian refugees and the Jehovah's Witnesses
by no-zombie ini personally would like to foster a couple of those parent-less kids from ukraine, but i know that my 'full in' witnesses wife would never agree.
for her, they are 'worldly children'; children who are most likely will never become a witness, and so why even consider opening one's heart to them and their suffering.. while her attitude really upsets me, ultimately she is just a product of the organization's teachings and for me, it is just another example of the hypocrisy and coldness of the religion.
you see, this religion is meant to be a christian faith, one that should copy the qualities the jesus himself taught others to display.

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.

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.
