Anthony Morris's talk about beards and facial hair

by EndofMysteries in

i just found an archive of one of anthony morris's talks back from 1916, (yes the man is that old), about facial hair.

obviously he recycles his talks as it will sound very similar to a recent rant of his!

"it's in america, and it's in europe, they have the metrosexual look.

I don't think I've ever seen a picture of Rutherford with any hair on his face besides his eyebrows.

How long till the hounders come back ?

by Clambake in

after having a baby ?

.

we just had an elder drop by and invite my wife to the kh with a 21 day old baby.. i thought it was kind of classless.

Beth Sarim

Why do elders think that they can come by out of the blue and wake a baby who is sleeping? That's because elders think they are above courtesy. Which of course they aren't.

I've always understood that the reason why Rutherford imposed the fallacy of the ''no beards policy'', was because Judge Rutherford didn't care how beards looked. Or because Rutherford couldn't grow a full beard, and that maybe he was jealous of men with full beards.

Forgiving Loans the Watchtower Way

by cofty in

bank - thank you for maintaining your loan repayments for the past 3 years.

to show our appreciation we are forgiving the balance of your loan.

borrower - yeah!.

It's sad and yet I'm amazed that the average JW cannot see that there is a huge money grabbing scheme going on here.

Peaceful Revolution in Romania and Taxing Religions

by cookiemaster in

some of you might know i'm from romania.

some of you might have also heard about that terrible club fire that killed 32 people and injured hundreds.

the whole thing happened because the club owners bought the officials to allow them to operate even though the location was a fire hazard.

Beth Sarim

Taxing on religion. Could never be too soon.

Invisible Rulership - one of the dumbest things I ever believed in

by Black Man in

jw
friends

having now been out of the cult for a few years, it really shocks me about some of the nonsense i used to believe in.

like for instance, christ ruling in the midst of his enemies, but doing so invisibly.. let's let that one sink in for a minute.

you've supposedly got a king who is ruling for a kingdom, but it is an invisible rule.

Beth Sarim

I know, invisible reign. Every eye will see Him when he returns. Nothing about invisible return anywhere in the Bible.

My first Halloween Party

by 3rdgen in

warning!

long post ahead!.

i didn't know what to expect but i was really excited to be invited to accompany my daughter and her closest friends to a large (300+) party held at a famous hot spot.

It has to be a such a liberating feeling to be able to celebrate holidays, birthdays after so many years of indoctrination against such things.

A Question about Hedge Funds and WTBTS

by iwasblind in

i was listening to the radio today and heard that most hedge funds have recorded a double digit loss, some of them have even written a letter to investors apologising and explaining why this has happened.. i know there has been speculation about wtbts investing in hedge funds, i also remember seeing a video from snarky apologist showing they were on the attendee board for a hedge fund investing seminar.. i wonder if the latest panic cost cuts have to do with losing some money??.

i can't figure out where their money is going.

when i look at the financials available they are covering costs or losing a little bit.

In the movie Erin Brokovich, when that lady who has cancer was given that settlement. When Julia Roberts(Erin Brokovich) says they are going to **make them pay 5 million to you**. The lady goes **5 million, 5 million dollars!!!**, she kind of laughs and says ** I don't know how much money that is!!!**, she exclaims.

Then at the end when Julia Roberts(Erin Brokovich), when after she tells off her manager, she looks down at her cheque handed to her to see xxxx2million dollarsxxxx. She looks up at her manager(Ed), her jaw nearly hitting the floor. Her manager says **by the way, do they teach beauty queens how to apologize, because you suck at it**

What I am saying is that the amount you posted Cognac is beyond what the normal person can imagine!!! Mind boggling figures of money lost.

Stephen Lett will be present at our next assembly.

by StarTrekAngel in

a letter was read to the congregation last sunday.

i wasn't paying much attention until i heard stephen lett will be delivering a talk.

at first i thought it would be as a recorded video, as it was in the last assembly.

Stephen Lett speaking at an assembly. Making the audience feel like a bunch of 6-year-olds with those expressions and voice tones. Just kills me!!!

Proof of Predation 750 000 000 Years Ago

by cofty in

paleontologists have discovered the cause of small holes that have frequently been observed in ancient eukaryote fossils.

please check out the source even if you only look at the amazing picture.... they were being sucked dry by other predatory species.. forget about a "fall" from a disneyesque utopia.

creatures have been consuming each other since the very beginning of life.. reality is far more exciting than fantasy.

It is just fascinating how the study of science, space and the cosmos just blows everything away what the JWs teach.
