  Beards and bald heads

  what do you think about the wts prohibition on beards?

  currently in the us, i think a brother can wear a beard, he just won't be used in the congregation.

  i see all references in the wt to beards are in a negative light, such as the supreme court upholding a supermarket chains no beards rule.

  Ridiculous hypocritical retoric

  22 as god?s organization grows, more elders are appointed.

  they, as well as the more experienced elders, must understand that their position is one of humble service.

  in this way, as god moves his organization toward the new world, it will continue to grow as he wants?well organized but not sacrificing love and compassion for efficiency.

  Self indictment

  draw close to god page 118 paragraph 1 quote, "we humans have a strong sense of right and wrong.

  when an injustice is committed, we are incensed.

  we want the victim to be compensated and the offender brought to justice.".

  i've noticed in my area (ny metro) that jw's count time doing "street witnessing".. do you see the same in your area?.

  sitting on benches drinking coffee counting time.

  standing on corners laughing and conversating among themselves as people walk right by.. if they do acknowledge a passerby, it's a last minute casual holding out of a magazine or tract.

  1. if satan was not prevented from infiltrating god's heavenly organization an d causing perfect angels to follow his lead,

  what would prevent him from doing the same to an organization of imperfect men claiming to be god's earthly organization?

  (actually wouldn't it be a more effective way of misleading the masses?
