  Damn! Jesus had a BEARD! What do we do now?

  by JanH in

  questions from readers (w68 5/12 p. 86-8).

  * when jesus christ was a man on earth, did he wear a beard?-k.a., u.s.a.. biblical evidence is the most reliable testimony to be found on this question, and a recent careful review of what it says indicates that jesus did indeed have a beard.. jesus, born a jew, "came to be under law" and he fulfilled the law.

  Amazing,

  On a lighter note, someone on H20 once posted a pic from a publication that showed a group of 7 disciples all in long robes, but the feet showing numbered 16. Or something like that.

  Should I Do It ??? I Think I Will.

  i have been working on my letter to our local congregation to dis-associate myself.. since my wife is still very active in the non-truth and she also insist that i write this letter, i believe i will take her congregation address and telephone list and send my letter with all the facts about the wbts history of lies and send everyone in the congregation my letter via certified mail.

  .

  it would probally set me back a few hundred bucks but i think it would be well worth it, what do you think??

  Big Jim,

  I don't know if this is such a good idea. I remember that when my Dad was a PO he would occasionally get letters from people who wished to DA themselves, they were always reams long and he would skim over them and usually not reply.

  it seems like to me the majority of people who are in the truth, are were in the truth was a result of either a family member are a friend witnessing to them and not many seem to have been found in the door to door work.. from my years of associating with the borg i cannot recall many coming in the truth from the door to door work.. how were you sucked in?

  for me it was my aunt who has now even though i am not disfellowshipped decided to write me out of her will to the tune of about $150,000.00 (maybe i should hang around a couple more years)dont think i will.. please respond .

  thanks.

  Latte,

  Good question. As a kid I made the most out of my life as a JW. I just used to wish that it wasn't "The truth" so that I could do more things and not have to go "On the work" or attend those bloody awful meetings!

  JW's And Risque Mnemonics.

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do folk in the united states use mnemonics as we do here in the uk?.

  just in case youre wondering, a mnemonic is a method by which it becomes easy to remember something, especially if it involves a table or sequence.

  most uk mnemonics have a vulgar or sexual connotation, so their use is somewhat frowned upon in jw circles.. when number 2 son was studying geology, it was essential that he remembered the hardness order of various minerals.

  David,

  Some weeks ago, someone made the point that as Jesus waited until he was 30 before being baptised, it would be logical to assume that anyone baptised before this age would be making an invalid dedication.

  Just a thought, please ignore Fred Halls comments, he's had his brain transferred to his groin.
