is this the reaction you get when you walk into a kingdom hall sporting your new beard 🙄.
.
In my local area I note that a lot of the witnesses now have beards. I don't know if I'm imagining it but it seems that way. I am unaware whether or not these individuals qualify for provelidges but I know one beardy-bob who does literature.
The world is full of so many important and pressing matters. Facial hair on a man really isn't up there. Which makes the whole JW religion such a petty, prejudiced, intolerant non entity full of self important, authority crazed, assholes.
it gave the poor bastard who past away no respect, hardly mentioned anything about the deceased.
yet hijacked the event with cult propaganda..
The most awful funerals I've been to.
You actually sit there cringing for the poor non JW relatives.
wow.
their 2017 convention programme at times eclipses the horrific shambles of 2016. how hardline can they be?.
its my opinion that the harder they push, the more people they will lose.

Hopefully more content from psycho Tony III. They're doing a great job at pushing witnesses away from this madness.
okay, so everyone is bent out of shape about how the wts is re-writing their history on their past failed predictions (1975).
other threads deal in all the evidence to tear apart their shameless propaganda, so i won't dwell on that here.. but, what i will do is list a couple of observations, silly as they are, that aren't about the propaganda so much as it is about the set design, and costume design.
feel free to add to the list.. early scene where the wife is dying.
Where can I see this video?
3 missed calls from my jw brother last night.
i didnt answer because he's actively shunning me and when he does ring it always to preach to me about how we're so close to the end and how i should "humble myself before the mighty hand of god" .
he then texts me saying "we need to talk".
Reverse shun these arseholes. Send a message saying that you can't morally associate with them and would appreciate if they could respect your beliefs.
They hate it and find it completely disempowering.
No way would I allow my relatives to speak to me in such bigoted, downgraded, patronising terms.
as jws , we all remember the thought of dragging oneself out of bed on a nice sunny sunday meeting or getting home tired after a hard day at work contemplating another boring , pointless , repetitive weekday evening meeting.. as the only legitimate reason for missing a meeting is illness , the only way for anyone to avoid a meeting that they really couldn't be bothered to go to ( ie most of them ) is to "pretend" to be ill. so given an average meeting attendance of 60% or so , invariably many people would be missing , presumed dead ( or "ill".
we used to have a congregation game of football ( soccer ) on a sunday afternoon and it always amused me how many jws who were "too ill" to attend the meeting on the morning would suddenly recover , lazarus style , to play without exhibiting any signs of the apparently near fatal acute health condition of that morning.
one of the more officious elders tried to introduce a rule that the only ones who could play would have to have been at the meeting that morning , but in practice it was very difficult to police and the better players tended to be the ones who missed most meetings.. one of the problems was the risk that some well meaning and / or nosey jw would phone up ( or even turn up , unannounced ) at the house to see "how you were" and clearly it didn't go down too well if they found you in rude health chasing the dog or kids around the garden..
I remember groups of witnesses playing football in Scotland. They were dirty bastards that hacked the ankles off folk. Elders too.
Just an obvs.
i think the finished mystery book probably contains the stupidest beliefs ever recorded!
almost any prophecy publication but especially anything to do with revelation, is unbelievable!
.
That there's a god who knows the thoughts and actions of 6.5 billion people.
how do the gb micro-manage people's lives today?one example is their micro management in dress and grooming.
eg their view of beards.
elders in most congs will take a brother to a corner and remind him why jws don't grow beards.
No blow jobs but plenty asking dirty questions during judicial committees.
ones who are lovers of jehovah .
dont say rip .
rip is also pagan in origin.
Don't say this, don't say that.
But let your children die by refusing medical treatment and shun your relatives if they don't believe the same things as you do.
= JW priorities.
i saw the recent video that the borg put out about the trial in russia and how pleased the russian brothers were that a member of the gibbering booty, brother sanders, came to support them for six days.
well, there was a one-day delay in the trial which enabled the russian witnesses to have the memorial in their kingdom halls.
well, brother sanders was very quick to point out that it was very evident that jehovah intervened to enable the brothers to celebrate the memorial.
Yes, he intervened in Russia so they could have their memorial.
He's just having more difficulty intervening in say, little girls praying to be spared sexual abuse. Also, having a little problem intervening in malaria or widespread poverty.
Really gets his priorities right does Jehovah.
Sicko.
