I was balding and grey so I asked my witness barber friend to "just shave it all off" many brothers were doing the comb over which looked friggin stupid. But oh no in the 1990's this was rebellious he had to call a brother we knew at Bethel to see if it was ok. We got his ok to go ahead but at the time I could help thinking about the no beard rule and how controlled and cultish we were.

Well it all went to hell even though one Elder came dressed as a king. NO MORE FANCY DRESS EVER. One brother years later dressed as Elvis and sang some hits...no longer a Servant privileges revoked. What a horrid control freak life.

Today the young ones have all left "the truth." Many older ones have died or are too frail to attend. Looks like it wont last more then a few years before they close completely. I know of one family who hoped armagedon would cure all there illnesses but they now have depression...I guess for us every new year is a slap in the mouth. Happy 2020!

How many Witnesses would drink the cool aid at a "Jonestown?"
by Witness 007 inso my mum died from mild form of lukemia which can simply be treated with a blood transfusion each month.
to me this was a watchtower assisted suicide.
the liaison elder encouraged her to "stay strong" and said a prayer.

So in a great tribulation like Jonestown where "the government was coming at any minute" I think some Witnesses would drink the poison cool aid....they already do with the no blood policy.

Watching the Discovery chanel all scholars agree 586 bce for Jerusalem's destruction but Witnesses stick to the 1860's idea that it's 607 bce. Total denial.

Wonder how many donated money and time to this "quick build" only to hand it over to the Watchtower and ...then have it sold off for profit!
