Hi Everyone

by Stezza in

i have been reading here for a while but as you may of noticed the assembly games post has flushed me out!

it has been fascinating to read all your experiences and to know that the stuff that i thought was odd, was thought odd by others as well.. two things made me leave:.

1. i found i could not do return visits as i did not want to break up families.

i know it has been talked about before, but does anyone have information as to when jw started banning beards.

my wife is telling me that it started in the 60/70's because of the hippies, but i know i read somewhere on here that it was much earlier.. .

Wasn't man created with facial hair?

The only reason--now--facial hair is considered a sign of rebellion is because of the pharisaic rule against.

Should I marry a JW ?

by curiousabouthim in

i am new to the jw world, not one, but do love one.

met a man who down to the tee is amazing.

he is a great man, the only thing i am not so sure about is his "religious" beliefs.

Marry someone who shares your beliefs.

i just posted this on another thread and decided to post my own thread about it.. a few posters here that know me personally know about my amazing wife.

i had a very hard time accepting what i have learned about her.

she has a gift she has kept from the world until she was in her 30's.

Does you wife ever dream about things we could profit from? That would make lotsa believers!

the dark?

walking around knocking on peoples doors and telling them they are going to die if they do not follow our beliefs?.

i for one feel like this is the new world, and there is just no stopping this super highway we call the internet... it is like a whole new world, we can now talk and meet people around the world.

The internet has been priceless in my being able to exit......

IT'S SATAN. SATAN CREATED THE INTERNET!

Do you truly WANT the Watchtower to collapse? If so why?

by nicolaou in

there are the abuses of course, the diabloical 'two witness' rule applied to allegations of molestation, the reckless 'blood ban' in all it's tortuous complexities (which by watchtowers own admission has resulted in many fatalaties) and the cruel punishment of shunning which has caused so much suffering and pain to many of us here.. is it for these reasons that you want to see the watchtower fall or is it simply that you want to see them humiliated and broken for what they've done to you?

most of us aren't bitter or selfish enough to want personal revenge against the watchtower but i'd be lying if i said i didn't sometimes think like that.. the reason for my original question is that i sometimes feel a bit hypocritical.

i try to accord respect to jw's and individuals of all faiths, (yes, even when i go off on one of my atheistic diatriabes) but whereas i allow myself to be hostile to the watchtower i shrink from being so forthright against other 'christian' faiths whose corrosive nature may not be so easily apparent but is there nonetheless.. i guess my question is; why do we want the watchtower to fall but do not wish all religion to fall?.
