  My Kingdom Hall Beard

  by Amazing in

  in mid-1975: i grew a mustache while i was a ministerial servant (california bay area).

  i recall being asked to conduct the book study while my hair was growing.

  several acted odd toward me because there was still an ongoing argument about whether having such facial hair was appropriate for men of good example.

  If I get a key, I can resume my old plan of getting a small, high quality recorder and camouflaging it in the air conditioning closet so I can record those elders' meetings.

  Check local laws in your area...some states allow one party notification for taping, others only one party.

  Watchtower change on Wikipedia

  came across this on wikipedia, seems someone didn't waste any time.

  beginning in 2008, the watchtower will have different focuses in the two issues that are published each month.

  the issue published on the first of each month will focus on religious articles that will be offered to the general public.

  3 weeks into my Awakening...

  by Confession in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i came across something i'd written exactly 2 weeks and 5 days after i first became convinced (in a stupor) the the watchtower society wasn't the channel of god--and that they didn't have "the truth.

  when a person sins against god.

  the society is here teaching that confession of sins is something we do to jehovah.

  the 15th of the month edition will be only hardcore study articles, specific info for jw's only and will NOT be offered or distributed to the general public or irregular meeting attendees

  I would imagine this would actually be irregular publishers. If you miss one month in field service, no Watchtower for you.

  It's funny, I gave the KM Service Meeting part back in Dec 2005 about the switch to a monthly Awake. Things seem to be changing quite a bit.
