It's probably a metric to see who's loyal to the drunken paedo lovers AKA Governing Body(TM).

No beards...even Jesus! Strange Watchower rule for brothers!
by Witness 007 inwatchtower 1954 p.511 "why do watchtower publications now show jesus with short hair and no beard?
because he is shown that way in older representations of him that are older then the traditional effeminate looking pictures.".
watchtower 1968 p.286 "bible evidence and a recent review shows that jesus did have a beard..." charles russell style of beard was popular at bethel...till rutherford took over.

Jesus is Michael the Archangel
by Fisherman inonly jesus has the power and authority to defeat satan and kick him out of heaven:.
“now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our god and the authority of his christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our god.”.

Y'see, this is what makes me think the Bible is not all it's cracked up to be.
All this to-ing and fro-ing about who is correct and who isn't.
Shouldn't a book from the 'Divine' be stating things in an obvious way?

JULY 15TH STUDY EDITION :"If ever that evil slave..." page 24
by raymond frantz inbox on page 24 of the july 15th titled :"if ever the evil slave....".
jesus has placed the weightiest of responsibilities on the faithful and discreet slave-namely,overseeing the domestics and giving out spiritual food atthe proper time.
jesus knew that those with greater responsibility have greater accountability.

he concluded his illustration about....
Yep. 'Illustration'. They said it, not me.
'The Faithful Slave' isn't a real thing. Neither is the 'Evil slave'. (TM) after the lot.
Amazing how they take some parables to be literal and others not. I wonder why? Something about money and power? Hmmmm!

It's one of those threads I haven't bothered with.
Mr Evans is not a celebrity in my eyes. (I don't do celebrities, it's fake adulation. they're no better than the next person).
I'm more focused on my family.
My days of 'activism(tm)' are behind me. If people want to stay in a dangerous cult, that's their business. In a 1000 years time, they'll all be long forgotten like the rest of us.

Some Jw's are the worst employees
by Foolednomore ini found a company and employed an elder as an underwriter and two ms as sales and marketing.
anyway, this elder will delegate his work to the ms in sales and marketing, so he can go home early.
he knew when he got started that this would be a 10 hour a day job with some saturday.

I don't suppose we can broad-brush all Jobots the same.
I have been aware of some shady Jobot employers. No names, no pack drill.
I did know of one who was a very good employer. Mind you, he pissed off with some bird (Brit slang for female), and got DF'd.

s3 How do they verify this claim, if they can and how easy do we debunk this claim if we can ?
They simply say it is so. The JWs HAVE TO BELIEVE it or be shunned or treated like a leper.
What is needed to verify a claim made by anyone or an organization ?
The impossible.
However, if that drunken fool TOMO3 says this is true, then JWs MUST believe while the rest of us roll our eyes and laugh. -

jp - Because I’m a former Catholic and got tired of all the idolatry and veneration if Mary and Saints.
That's okay, mate. Sounds like a dubious reason, if I'm honest with you.
Sounds a bit trollish. If you don't mind me saying. We get lots of accounts (probably 1 sad wanker, sitting in his Mum's back bedroom, not paying rent at 40 years of age and comes on here after a good one off the wrist on xHamster), here and it gets boring.
You'll be quietly and subtly coerced into venerating the Governing Body of JWs instead.
There are lots of cults and religions that don't venerate Saints et al.....and you had to pick the JWs. Good grief, Charlie Brown. You'll be sorry.
But hey, don't take my word for it. You're free to make your own mistakes.
Unless you're a troll and wasting our time. I am suspicious.
....and why are you still here if you think this is the wrong place?

Hi JP. If you are a real person and not a returning troll, welcome.
Why would you study with this group of people?

Bad Associations spoil useful habits. Are the JWs right? Scripturally?
by Open mind init has been interesting for me to learn the various ways that the jws twist the scriptures to fit their own dogma.
(of course jws aren't alone in that, but that's another topic.
) two quick examples of jws not following or going beyond the bible are blood and birthdays.

The Jobots just mean that you should only hang around with Jobots in 'good standing(tm) and no one else.
They don't really care a bout the real meaning.
