the issue of whether beards are acceptable or not is addressed in the september 2016 watchtower - well sort of.
it is as clear as mud as to whether they are allowed in places like australia, usa and britain.. 17. what are some factors that may affect whether a brother wears a beard?17 what about the propriety of brothers wearing a beard?
the mosaic law required men to wear a beard.
Lol!!!!!!!
In one section, "Christians are not under Mosaic Law nor are they obliged to observe it." (We don't want you to have a beard, you don't have to follow the Law)
Next section, "The Law showed...." ( God is not pleased with unisex, so we don't want you to wear it, follow the Law)
*sigh
we will not weigh you down with burdensome lists, as you have the freedom to choose, but here is our list anyway.some snippets:.
the law showed jehovah’s strong feelings against clothing that does not make clear the distinction between male and female—what has been described in our day as unisex fashion.
(read deuteronomy 22:5.
...our brothers and sisters appreciate it when we refrain from wearing clothes that are so tight or so loose that they are revealing.
Is that so? And who told YOU what I do or don't appreciate? Did I miss a questionaire?
Deuteronomy says???? Er, yeah for ancient Israelites; so you could tell which dress was for a man and which dress was for a woman. That Law Code. You don't get to pick and choose with that code for modern application; it's ALL or NONE. No one has to marry their rapist. So guess what? NONE.
Stop trying to reinstate what Christ's death has "fulfilled". Besides, we can tell which pants suits are for men and which pants suits are for women.
All this because of ONE members personal dislikes. It's such a stupid thing to be focused on.
sorry i thought it was a new morning worship video but it is 6 months old and has already been discussed on here.. it is presented by gb helper k flodin and about this generation.
the delusion and hypocrisy runs deep.. he reminds the cult members not to speculate because they aren't supposed to know the day or the hour.
then he proceeds to speculate that armageddon will occur before 2040.. https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbmw_201511_3_video.
Leave the dates alone, so say Jesus Christ. It's not for anyone to know.
In case you haven't noticed, that IS the date they've been trying to guess for over 100+ years. Leave it the f**k alone!!!! Insolent hard heads.
i'm just curious as to how it all happened.. to explain.
many years back, before ex-jw websites, i called on a local lady in order to design an extension to her already enormous house.
she was a young, voluptuous gal, married to a much older local business man who spared little expense in order to give his young wife whatever her heart desired.. we chatted for ages.
No it isn't. The fact that you still don't seem to notice what you keep saying is sad.
millie2105 hours agohere is something i just found out this week.former belief - field service is a publishers inalienable right new belief - field service privilege can be taken away if person styles hair or wears clothing in a way that is deemed metrosexual.i was pretty much dumbfounded.. this was posted on another thread, so i decided to start a new topic about this.
i think this is amazing!
i wish this was in place when i was a kid.
Go preaching anyway. No one can take away talking about God's kingdom from you if that's what you feel compelled to do. Those guys are NOT Jesus! Not even close. They don't overrule anything he said and they have neither the right nor the authority to. No one's knees will bend to their names.
Acts 4:17-20 NET
But to keep this matter from spreading any further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name." [18] And they called them in and ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. [19] But Peter and John replied, "Whether it is right before God to obey you rather than God, you decide, [20] for it is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard."
I'd pull an Apostle and completely ignore them.
Insanity!!!
a youtube video posted by jwfairytale , japanese edition.. http://youtu.be/_adktmq-rba.
He's using too much JW terminology. Gives himself away. What's the outrage about? I can't read the Japanese commentary.
may 18, 2016. to all field missionaries, special pioneers and circuit overseers.
re: field ministers desk.
dear brothers:.
Not many left to answer phones. Guess it's just email nowadays.
why murder 8 billion non-believers to just turn around and resurrect 20 billion other non-believers?
.
I wouldn't worry about JW interpretation of anything. Seriously. Non believers would actually be people who don't acknowledge that Jesus is the Messiah and came in the flesh.
JWS have no moratorium on Jesus, they hardly acknowledge him, unlike other Christian sects.
If armegeddon did happen, the JW is likely to be shocked at the ire of God due to their complete disrespect of his arrangement which is to make Jesus the name known.

Nah, the Bible is on target, not the "WT doctrine". Therein lies the problem. Sad really if you don't know what's wrong with your comment ... if you even consider it a Christian sect.
Toss her in that volcano .... we want sacrifice not mercy!!!!!
