  WT for this Sunday...You are My Witnesses

  wt 7/15/2014....page 27...question # 17...what will we consider in the next article...paragraph 17...but how can we be jehovah witnesses and at the same time be witnesses of jesus....well well well...i think they really got the point...all through the greek scriptures, that's what jesus has been saying...we are to witness about him....in the hebrews scriptures was about jehovah god, most of the world got that.

  now jehovah, put another spoke in the wheel his son...jesus...that's who paul has been talking about all along...that he was witness of jesus, paul knew who god was.

  i think the society monitors sites like these & others & found out....they may have been, uh...wrong....wonder how are they going to spin this one off....i won't read the next article just yet... comments anyone ..... legacy.

  Certainly a true anointed JW wouldn't sue Mother so he apparently was worshipping in vain and was just a JW pretender. If Mother wanted his app removed from Apple, then if he was truly a child of hers, he would have happily complied instead of suing her.

  i am a big fan of the group 30 seconds to mars, and whats amazing is many of their songs seem to have a anti cult theme like "huricane" "up in the air" and others.

  so after i watched a video of the song huricane, so i could see the lyrics i googled to see if they, the lead singer jared leto and his brother shannon, were former jw's and yes they were.

  crazy small world!!!!.

  Again ... I think you may be referring to Jason Bartlett ... here is part of an interview with Slate (the Slate article was the original that was quoted on the website I listed in my previouse post) ... note the dates

  Slate: I didn’t know there was a long-hair community before finding the Men’s Long Hair Hyperboard.

  Jason Bartlett: Yes, it’s a real community. I mean, if I’m out at a concert and I see another longhair, we give each other a little head nod. The site itself started in 1996, and now we link to a lot of long-hair groups geared toward both men and women.

  I came to MLHH in 1999. I had short hair then, because I was part of a religion [Jehovah’s Witnesses] that enforced that. But my connection [to the Witnesses] was fading. When I got on the Internet, one of the first things I did was type in “men’s long hair.” Of course, in order to be a MLHH moderator, you have to already have long hair. I didn’t progress in the hierarchy until I left my religion for good, in 2005.

  Slate: Are the hair restrictions part of the reason you left?

  Bartlett: It was complicated.

  Slate: What made you want to become a longhair?

  Bartlett: What we have found is that longhairs fall into two different groups. One group is innate—men who’ve known they wanted to grow their hair long since they were 6 or 7. It’s in them and a part of them. For me, it’s one of my earliest recollections. For other men, it’s more like a fashion statement that comes and goes—for instance if they want to join a rock band.

  My problem was that I had parents who weren’t supportive of the idea, and I couldn’t have picked a worse culture to be born into. The Witnesses don’t allow beards, goatees, or long hair on men. But I felt like it was a part of me, that this was how I should look. I started to push the limits, growing it long on top and seeing what I could get away with. If I hadn’t been raised a Witness, I would certainly have worn my hair long as a young boy.

  In the article, Jared Leto is mentioned for his long hair, first by the writer of the particular blog article, then the quotes of Slate asking Bartlett a question and Bartlett in his response.

  I don't know Jared Leto, but the only evidence I find is this one article that mentions both Leto and Jehovah's WItnesses and the one identified as a witness that left in 2005 is Bartlett.

  Slate: What do you think of Jared Leto?

  Bartlett: I’m very happy about Jared Leto. We are all for long hair on men becoming more popular. It makes it easier for us, especially when we’re looking for work, trying to be accepted. I think that when more men see very public figures growing their hair out, the idea gets planted in their heads.

  I see an an interview with the subject of men with long hair on inquisitr.com where Jason Bartlett, a former JW, is interviewed and mentions Leto after stating that he (Bartlett) was raised a JW, not Leto.

  It is a husband and wife team and they have only been at this since 2012 as far as I can discern from a brief look at the website. Perhaps they have been successful at keeping their identity obscured up to this point.

  I'm not sure you can take it at face value. The guy is listed as a comedian on his YouTube channel. Here is a recent video he supposedly made about telling off his 5 year old daughter.
