It will be a race to see how quickly the Brothers can grow a decent beard. Lett was a bit amiss in his lecture by not warning about the dangers of competing.

The GB could have made a few dollars by wholesaling beard trimmers.

There will be a few laughs, many holding their tongue and a few admiring looks.

How soon will we see the first photo printed in the Watchtower of a Brother sporting a beard? I expect it to be staged with a Sister standing alongside wearing pants. The Brother might even be a bit more casually dressed for the meeting.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the next video of the latest Gillead Grad has some of the Sisters collecting their award in pants.

It should be a given that the Sisters will be allowed to wear pants as he mentioned clothes as well. They will just stick to requiring JWs to be modest.

Covid Vaccine

by sloppyjoe2 in

i may be mistaken, but wasn’t there a governing body video where one of them said something along the lines of you don’t trust that the vaccines are safe do you really believe that the governing body is the faithful slave?

perhaps i imagined this but i thought something like this was said.

Listener

Did they actually say that sloppyjoe2?

Japan Probe into Child Rearing Practices of JW's

by Sea Breeze in

apparently in response to the probe of jw's in japan, the wt is seeking positive stories of jw's child-rearing practices:.

from reditt: .

re: urgent: request for assistance.

Listener

newly founded ministry in an Asian country that has no experience with Jehovah's Witnesses is prejudiced against Jehovah's Witnesses due to misinformation.

Calling the Japanese Government Ministry prejudiced and misinformed in relation to a religion may not be appreciated

Hip replacement on Monday. Wish me luck.

by GrreatTeacher in

as the title says i'm having a total hip replacement on monday.

the pain has grown over the years and now i'm using a cane to walk.

after steroid injections and physical therapy, it was decided that a total hip replacement is appropriate.

Listener

About your husband, how will he cope? Are you preparing and freezing meals or will he be a big help in caring for himself and you?

That's one big negative about the internet and that's not being able to give a helping hand to others from time to time.

Sorry to hear about your pain and hoping for a quick recovery

Following the Doctors instructions is the way to go and although that sounds obvious it is surprising that some people don't and end up with unnecessary complications.

Wishing you all the best.

FDS 1919 Declaration Date

by NotFormer in

did rutherford have any "prophetic" justification for 1919 as the date that jesus declared him (ahem, the wt organisation) the fds?

such as some calculation attached to 1914?

that in 1919, jesus would come looking for his true organisation?.

Listener

They now only give seasons even though 1260 days or 42 months is more specific.
