Watchtower 1954 "Jesus was clean shaven and had short hair?? What!

by Witness 007 in

all society publications from 1950 -1968 pictures showed jesus as a jew who had short hair and was clean shaven???.

watch 1954 p.511 "why do watchtower books now show jesus with short hair and no beard?....because he is shown that way in representations of him that are older than the traditional effeminate looking pictures.".

watch 1968 p.286 "bible evidence and a recent review shows that jesus did have a beard.

A while after I grew my hair long, I was at a family reunion. Someone didn't recognize me and said, "Who invited Jesus?"

Everyone knows Jesus was a hippy.

Uhmmm....I however, am NOT a hippy.

hadn't seen him in 6 months or so.

he didn't see me, so i had to approach him.

And now that I read all of your answer to him Wing Commander, I see that you said that.

Wait-a-minute here.....

Didn't old magazines from that time say that armageddon would be here by now?

So was there supposed to be an economic problem AFTER armageddon?

Southpark episode on Morman's

by wha happened? in

the end of the show had a very interesting comment on the lds that reminded me of jw's: .

"look, maybe us mormons do believe in crazy stories that make absolutely no sense, and maybe joseph smith did make it all up, but i have a great life.

and a great family, and i have the book of mormon to thank for that.
