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.

Beth - is there even a picture of Rutherford ever having a beard or did Rutherford never even have one? But I think he imposed it for his own personal taste and like everything else he wrote, whatever he said was not from him but from Jesus or God himself and to be obeyed as such!

Nope, if he was alive then, that would have been his talk, remember Russell and those in that time had beards. But Rutherford jumped onto the clean shaven 'trend'. And suddenly facial hair was bad. Also shows the hypocrisy and backwards thinking of his condemnation of 'tight pants' but acceptance of clean shaven lol. I think even down to today it's frowned upon even though, at least in my area, clean shaven is becoming a minority. The beard is back!

"It's in America, and it's in Europe, they have the metrosexual look. It's becoming very popular. It's not new, but what's new is it's becoming so very popular. What it means is teens and grown men are both shaving off all of their facial hair, it's called "clean shaven" or "clean cut". Beard, mustache, all gone with just the hair on the head remaining.

It's not that you don't groom your facial hair to fit your physique, that's fine. That's what Max and I do. What's wrong is shaving it all off. It's not appropriate for a Christian man. And frankly I'm puzzled by this, I've asked sister after sister, "Does this look good"? ANd I haven't had one yet who could say yes. And I have been saying this from the start, the homosexuals who start this trend, they like you looking more feminine.

I was proud of one circuit overseer, who told me this past summer at an international convention, cuz he brought it up, one of these fellas shows up for his circuit overseer visit, and he wants to go out in the ministry, work with him door to door, and his face is hairless! And the circuit overseer was man enough, spirital man enough, to say, "No! I'm not going door to door with you! Mm mm. Not with that hairless face. Inappropriate. You're a man, grow a beard! So a lot to think about. And you elders out there listening in....and be kind now! We always wanna imitate Christ Jesus. Jesus himself had a beard, and is he not the example to follow?! Infact can you think of ONE faithful bible character past puberty who had ever shaved their face? No. Infact shaving began in ancient Egypt it was a rebellion and rejection of how Jehovah God created a man to look and we should stay far away from those pagan practices!

And do you remember that many, many, many homosexuals are in the trend industry and start the trends. Don't you know they love it when you're clean cut? Oh yeah, you chuckle. I don't think it's funny. I think it's disgusting!"

Couldn't take it anymore.

by Darkknight757 in

so i decided yesterday to give my wife's full disclosure.

not sure it was the best decision considering she holds very firmly to the resurrection hope so we can see our babies again.. anyways she is agreeable to begin a study to find a better truth.

where is a good place to go to get some good reliable biblical info on the web that we can consider together?.

JW Elder Lawsuit Update: AAWA Fliers are Illegal and Uncle claims he is "Going to Kill us in Court"!

by ReligionOfHatred in

hi, my uncle made the first move by taking my mom, dad, grandma and grandpa(all in good jws in standing and non have put out anti-jw fliers or speech), that's who he is taking to court.

i have left the organization but than again, i was only a unbaptized publisher.

my grandma (whom i love so dearly was shocked to learn "i am not going to marry a pioneer and i don't want anything to do with any pro-jw females, i feel this religion is one of the most hateful religions mankind has seen).

EndofMysteries

Here's what I got from OP's post.

Some mumbo jumbo about his uncle who is an ex jw suing his family for absolutely no mention of any reason other then some AAWA signs are somewhere in the mix. Then suddenly he has 2 uncles, and one that threatened to kill somebody. One of the uncles made threats or attacked people who molested. And everybody is giving the lawyers a lot of money.

In other words, mumbly jibberish.

What does AAWA have to do with this?

Who made AAWA signs?

Who posted them and where?

Who is suing about those signs and what is the reason stated?

Where does molestation fit in to all of this and death threats?
