beards have been talked about a lot, especially with the recent wt article, but what about other types of non-mustache facial hair, like goatees chinbeards and soul patches?.

in my own experience i've seen a white young man with big handlebars and a soul patch run mikes, do literature and give talks not too long ago.

i saw a black older man with a sizeable soul patch as the focus of one shot in a jw.org video about an annual meeting a few years ago.

Speaking of facial hair...

"You men who long for love,

you mustn't all despair,

There's a secret you should know,
to capture the hearts of the fair.

You may not have the looks.
You may not have the dash.
But to win yourself a girl,
If you only got a mustache,
a mustache, a mustache
if you only got a mustache.

You may be common folk,
without a hint of pride.
But you needin' to be a king,
to make any maiden a bride.

You may not have the name,
You may not have the cash,
But you'll make that girl your own.
If you only got a mustache,
a mustache, a mustache,
If you only got a mustache.

You may be big and fat or uglier than seen,
all the ladies shut you out, you wonderin'
how to get in, well here is my advice
for how to make a splash,
You can have your pick of girls

If you only got a mustache, a mustache, a mustache,
if you only got a mustache, a mustache, a mustache, a mustache, big mustache , thick mustache
My mustache, your mustache, say the word, the word
Mustache: A mustache, a mustache.
Now we both have said mustache,
a mustache, a mustache.
If you only got a mustache."

A Family Divided....Again

by BeautifulMind in

good morning everyone.

well, just as our family was finally all out of the org., getting back to being the family we once were, one of my family members recently went back in.

i won't give many details that will give away my identity.

TimeBandit

Hey BeautifulMind. My condolences on the situation. It must hurt. It just goes to show the family member's character is weak. Wishy washy.

I have a plan....

by DATA-DOG in

with all of the bat-shit crazy propaganda of late, i'm considering talking to my wife about the cult.

we have had zero religious discussions for two years.

the last discussion ended with ,"you have no beliefs, no personal beliefs, because you change your "beliefs" when the wtbts writes an article.

TimeBandit

Hey Data-Dog. You did a great thing texting your daughter like that. I wish my own father would have stood by me in such a way. It would have meant the world to me. I am rooting for you.

Why the Bible cannot be the work of an all-wise God that epitomizes love.

by Island Man in

there's simply no way to honestly deny that the ot condones genocide, slavery and misogyny.

there are too many passage showing yahweh commanding his people to wipe out this nation and that nation - women and innocent children included!

it leaves us with a god who wrote a book that very, very, very much seems like it condones genocide, but it doesn't, etc.. what kind of god does that?

Dodgy poetry

by Gargamel in

it is a stretch to call my dodgy poetry 'entertainment' but i wasn't sure where else to put it.. .

self-fulfilling prophecy.

precipitation.

I like Wallace McCrae's poetry:

Reincarnation By Wallace McCrae

"What is reincarnation, a cowboy asked his friend. Why its something that happens when your life has reached its end. They comb your hair and wash your neck and clean your fingernails, And lay you in a padded box away from life's travails.

Now this box and you goes in a hole that's been dug into the ground. And this here reincarnation starts once your planted 'neath the mound.' Now pretty soon the clods melt down along with the box and you who are inside, and then your just beginning on your transformation ride.

And then one day some grass will grow upon rendered mound. Until one day, on your moldered grave a little flower is found. Then say by chance a horse should wander by and graze upon that flower, That once was you and now has become your vegetative bower.

Now the posy that that horse done ate along with all the rest of his feed, becomes fat and bone and muscle, essential to the steed.

But some is consumed that he can't use and so it finally passes on through, And just lays there on the ground. This thing that once was you. And then I see's this on the ground, and I wonder and I ponder at this object that I found.

And I begin to think about reincarnation and life and death and such. And I come away concluding old pal, You ain't changed that much!"
