As usual the headline is misleading. Not all of the releases are complete bibles, only 4 are. I wouldn’t exactly call the book of Matthew in the Tewe language a bible.

As for the rice and confetti at weddings it is some pagan custom so it is bad. Wedding rings are also a pagan custom but they are ok.
I think a lot of these oddball rules are in place so that Jws are considered oddballs by “worldly” people and they just don’t fit in. This keeps jws associating with jws thus keeping them in the cult.

Many JW couples pioneer when they are younger and by the time they are in their early 40s it is too late and they are too broke to raise kids anyway.

I’ll go first.
In a previous congregation we had a pioneer couple that have since gone on to be Gilead graduates and are now either in circuit work or translation. They checked all the boxes off the societies list so they were exemplary. Regular pioneers, elder with an exceptional speaking ability, volunteers on quick build halls when that was a thing and interviewed on the assemblies and conventions.
Except when it came to their interactions with the little people like brother and sister Hoser. I would have to label them as condescending, entitled users. They still owe us money. We filled in for them on their cleaning job and had an agreed upon compensation. The night they were supposed to be back they phone me at 10 pm and want me to go clean as they were still visiting friends. Being the gullible sucker I was at the time I went and did their job even though I had to be at my regular work early Monday morning.
It was all good until I didn’t get paid. I badgered them for a couple weeks and finally got a check that they purposely mis spelled my name so that I couldn’t cash it.
In these circumstances the small people are screwed as you “can’t take your brother to court” and none of the elders will help you as your claim is viewed as frivolous and unbelievable because this brother and sister are circuit stars and they would never do such a thing. I was told even if they didn’t pay you Jehovah is still pleased as indirectly you are supporting kingdom interests.

Beards- just told by an elder
by dothemath ini know this subject has been talked about lots over the years, just thought i would share a recent finding from canada.. while visiting with a group of friends, an elder (don’t recall how the subject came up) mentioned the local body had voted to allow brothers with beards be allowed to give talks from the platform.
(it was a very close vote).
the direction given was for each congregation to decide for themselves if that is now acceptable.. so some congregations will be for, and for many it will not.. it’ll probably be a long time before we see any pictures on the watchtower where they’re allowing this though..

It will be allowed until the next circuit overseer visit. This is a top down centrally planned organization, much like the USSR was.

The sad part is that witnesses donate their hard earned money to this. If they only knew the truth about where their donations went.

It’s all a big show. It’s not about being in the ministry, it’s about being visible in the ministry.

The Deadly Winter of 2028/29
by BoogerMan ina brief summary: (not summery!).
november 2028: the prime minister has announced that all but emergency travel is forbidden due to the dangers of the very cold weather, as predicted by imperial college london computer models.
everyone except emergency service staff and food retailers must work from home.. to protect people, the government will provide all citizens with a newly designed duffel coat, which when tested on 43 people in clinical trials during a 5 day period, proved completely safe and effective for maintaining body heat.. december 2028: conspiracy theorists are now spreading misinformation on the internet which claim that asbestos fibers are integrated into the duffel coat material, causing many people to reject the offer of a free duffel coat.. january 2029: the government has now issued new directives under the 2028 brass monkey weather act which require that all government & nhs employees must wear the protective duffel coat, or face being dismissed.

May 2029: Conspiracy theorists that have mistakenly accused government officials of purchasing shares in duffle coat manufacturing firms and textile companies have been publicly shamed by government funded media as the racist and misogynistic fringe minority that they really are.
