I feel it's kinda, in a roundabout way similar to my situation, when I gave assignments from the stage. Everyone LOVED my illustrations, but what no one knew is that i had "borrowed" them from a sermon website, that was used by the enemy. Christendom.

Oh Boy! Beards are "stumbling blocks" again ... from Stephen Lett
by freddo inso this week's midweek meeting video about stumbling others has lett spouting and gurning rubbish again.. if you can't take the whole 9 minutes go from 5:50 to get the context and 6:45 for the "beard" mention.. https://youtu.be/ezv1ici5cwo.
oh, well - at least they shoot themselves in the foot with this doublespeak.
single.

Yeah, the video was interesting to watch as the only bearded individual in the audience. It seemed like time slowed down more than usual at the meeting as Lett spewed out his stupid remarks. But, I felt AWESOME and hoped everyone saw the imaginary middle fingers I had lifted to those flat screens.

Charonsdog: This is as real as real gets.
I watched it with some older family members of mine, and they ate it up! I thought "you guys are SO blind!"

Are Beards becoming more acceptable due to decline in membership?
by UnshackleTheChains ini noticed a young brother with a beard being given more privelages within our hall.
when he first grew his beard, he lost his privelages.
but more and more recently he has been helping out a lot more.. the cobe is old school and a stickler for rules, but with the hall becoming more empty these days, and the need for young brothers, he seems to have relaxed on this particular watchtower/man made rule.

And no, I still haven't figured out how the quotation of someone else's comment works on here.

"A brother lost privileges of field service in a hall in my area. If he shaves he can go out otherwise no privileges"
@ Faith No More, that's REALLY odd. I was specifically told by TWO CO's that my service privileges WOULDN'T be affected. Sounds like the Elders in the bearded guys congregation REALLY believe they have authority outside of the Hall's 4 walls!

"Because it's my choice!"
by SonoftheTrinity inmy stepsons, aged 12 and 13 are proud to be the first boys in their school with facial hair, and are choosing not to shave it "because it's my choice!
" much to their jw mother's chagrin.
i am so proud of them for standing up to their mother, but if they want to shave later on it's their choice.

Well, I don't know exactly where you're from (I don't need to know), but around here, there's a growing number of brothers that have beards. My congregation doesn't seem to mind me having one. If they DID mind, oh well, they shouldn't have one. I hope it's an indication that the rank and file brothers are waking up to the mind control.

So there are only 12 magazines left!
by stuckinarut2 inok, so hot on the heels of the announcement at the agm, we have been told that there are probably only 12 magazines left!.
yes, there will be only 3 wt each year, and 3 awakes.... and that they will do this for two years, then reprint those issues.... so yes, the "abundance of spiritual food" is limited to 12 more magazines..... surely, this is proof of the end coming so soon!?!

At least now, I won't feel guilty about not having read any of the "public" version mags in a mad rush on a Saturday morning before the ministry.

Watchtower policies Versus the Bible
by UnshackleTheChains ini thought i would run a new kind of topic.
watchtower policies versus the bible .

Yep. In jdubland, you gotta jump through hoops on many things. Strict rules that prevent individuals from moving on or at least slows down their progress. It even puts 'many' off.
Let's not forget the "hoop" of not being able to raise your hand to answer AFTER you've been reinstated!
