What is their official explanation for not allowing beards?
by keyser soze ini ask because my gf, who knows all about my jw upbringing, convinced me to grow a goatee, just to see how it looks.
we both decided it looked good so i decided to keep it.
i tried to explain to her that as a jw, i wasn't allowed to grow one, but then drew a blank when she asked me why.

I now hate being called 'sister'
by purrpurr insince waking up i find i am bridling at being called 'sister'.
but it feels like an identity that is being forced on me.. i feel like shouting "i have a name you know!".
it is just me or does anyone else recognise this?.

Well it is a lot easier for the one conducting a meeting and selecting those who are commenting. "Yes, sista, that's right you over there". " Let's hear from that brotha, over there" -

Funny, I thought that the Scottish would have used different words to emphasize "soon"
Like start off with : "It will come in a wee bit soon"
Very close : "Friggin soon"

No one could pay me enough money to live in Brooklyn. I know that New York City, and Brooklyn are prime real estate. It's amazing what a small 200 sq ft appartment rents for in that part of the world. Yes, they get their clothes washed, meals served, cars repaired at $5.00 an hr labour rate, but so does a person in the Army. They get no Religious Holidays off. On Christmas day, they are still reporting for work. They only get a couple of hours off on the day they need to attend the Memorial. But their reward is great in the heavens. -

JW ended a relationship with me
by V1922 inmy jw boyfriend just ended a year and a half relationship with me.
it came out the blue and i'm deeply hurt by this because we were so compatible.
he did it right before the big annual gathering he is presently attending.

You mentioned that he left you before the Big Annual Gathering(BAG). Well that makes sense. You can expect him to call or text you after the Big Annual Gathering(BAG). You see the BAG is a large dating platform that single JW's attend to meet other JW singles. He is cutting ties with you to be free to date other female JW's. When he realizes that it didn't work out there, he'll be back.
But you better have some strong negotiation skills in place when he does. Start telling him, "You better put a ring on it".

When did things turn from paganism to religious?
by ssn587 inheard someone mention that certain acts are pagan.
so thinking about it, i surmised that marriage, sex, eating certain things were okay and then after g-d gave the law to moses (supposedly) there was a separation for things, actions etc., that were pagan and otherwise bad.
just wondering what others may think about this.

Paganism is a broad group of religions including modern Pagan religions, and magical and polytheistic religions. Paganism has also been understood by some to include any non-Abrahamic religions, but this is generally seen as insulting by adherents of those religions. It is often taken to exclude monotheism, and to express a worldview that is pantheistic, polytheistic, or animistic, however there are some monotheistic Pagans.[1] Once monotheistic religions such as Christianity and Islam started to become more prominent (in processes known as Christianization and Islamization), names to encompass polytheistic worshipers started to develop; some of these include Hellene, Pagan, and Heathen, at times these names were used as slurs.
Modern knowledge of old Pagan religions comes from several sources, including: anthropological field research records, the evidence of archaeological artifacts, and the historical accounts of ancient writers regarding cultures known to the classical world. Before the rise of monotheistic religions, most people practiced some type of polytheism. Many of these religions started to die out and eventually became extinct. In some cases, elements of polytheistic belief systems continued into folklore. Paganism would later be studied during the Renaissance and Romantic era. Forms of these religions, influenced by various historical Pagan beliefs of pre-modern Europe, exist today and are known as contemporary or modern Paganism, also referred to as Neopaganism.[2][3]
