The filthy lucre loving hierarchy of the WTB&TS really know how to weigh people down with heavy burdens, but they themselves will not lift a finger to lighten their subjects' load.

Jw's and beards
by wannaexit inwithout going into details.

Beards are everywhere at R&F level in the org. Go to any meeting or any assembly and you will see loads of them.
What??? Not on any assembly or convention, and definitely not in the congs I frequent, both English and Spanish. There may be some "worldly" who gets invited to a meeting and shows up with a beard. But if they make progress then sooner or later the beard comes off before they are an unbaptized publisher.
I'm In New England and there are lots of young men around town who are sporting a hipster beard, and older folk who have a beard also, (no women although I saw a heavy hint of a mustache and goatee on one female worker at a Dunkin Donuts, yeah I know, kinda creepy), but beards have always been regarded by witnesses as being a fashion of "the world" and counseled against.
Besides, a lot of these bearded hipsters like to wear tight pants, otherwise known as tightpants
--not to mention a man-bun.

Having survived several major earthquakes, in the 5 and 6, one in 7 and an 8 richter scale during my lifetime I can vouch for the necessity of knowing what to do and where to go, but this carrying of go-bags was never something our family did. the important thing was helping your neighbor and getting in touch with family.

Incredible cover of book published in 1932
by Truthexplorer inok, i am reading through the book the watchtower and the masons by fritz spring meier which i am finding a fascinating read; and discovered that judge rutherford published the book 'cause of death'.
what is incredible is the book cover.
the book was published in 1932 which would have been a little bit more eye catching back then.

I'm sure Rutherford sold a lot of those booklets to guys who were interested in finding out his interpretation of Genesis and the cause of death.
But, I think this booklet was found to cause blindness in a lot of farmers in upstate NY and VT, or so it's rumored.

"Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin'!"
No prob, Lincoln. I am a Christian, I do feel the gentle strength of the Holy Spirit guiding my life away from the JW cult. I started partaking almost ten years ago at the Memorial and been persecuted by the local elders for witnessing about Jesus mediatorship and being adopted as God's sons and daughters through faith in Christ Jesus.
What you are describing is a feeling of euphoria due to a heightened emotional climax, it is sort of a trance state. It can be found in many other religions and especially so animistic religions where shamans put themselves in such states as part of their rituals.
Babbling at the top of your voice and saying hah-hah-hah-hah sounds more like a shaman's trance incantation to the demons.
Remember what the fruit of the Spirit entails: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Those are the things that should evidence a Christian's faith in reliance of anointing by the Holy Spirit, are they not?

It wasn't just being a sore loser. In the rest of the article there are several other examples of this ethnic hatred based unsportsmanlike behavior.

Both Hillary and Trump could really mess up free trade this time around. I don't trust either of them. They are both crooked and triggerhappy. Vote for the Gary Johnson the pothead, because character matters.
I agree I can see either Hillary or Trump tanking the U.S. economy and affecting the global markets big time. I don't trust either of them, either :-(
And about pot? I like pot. I haven't done pot since college, but I don't think it should be criminalized as it currently is.
Libertarians aren't all alike, and there's a big left to right spectrum from anarcho-syndicalists like Chomsky to anarcho-capitalists like the Tea(bagging) Partiers.
I believe a large part of the current political arena problem is that the majority of the U.S. electorate is largely suffering from global illiteracy--they are globally myopic. They have little clue what is really going on around the world, and even less interest in finding out.
