since i have been out for seventeen years what is the currant society policy concerning beards and mustaches.. in the sixties and seventies facial hair was forbidden at bethel if you white.
if you were black you could have mustache but no beards.
so obviously you could not be elder or pioneer if you had a beard.. any updates?
Wait for the next memorial invite that shows Jesus in his present modern day position, in heaven, with a beard and ask why it's ok for Jesus? Aren't we supposed to follow his footsteps? He's doing something that isn't ok for the rest of the members?
Never did get an answer to that
do you remember those families where all the sons and daughters had weird biblical names?.
i recall a " machlon" , "eunice" , even a "jehosafath".
can you believe it..
I always secretly hoped someone would name their kid Peleg
i was enjoying the funny memes thread https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4796195022045184/funny-ex-jw-memes.
but what is the number 3 talk?
there were a few references to that particular talk.
I've always wanted the bro's to have to do a talk with a "householder"
I thought they did start this? Right about the time I left, 2015. I remember it being announced the change to school was coming but I was gone before it started
Did it not go through?
not really sure in what forum this topic belongs -- trying to find out where kh or other jw org sells the jewelry that is donated to it..
Can't we just call and ask? I'm sure they'll tell us the truth
did you see the performance of stephen lett on august broadcasting?.
the illustration of painting the kingdom hall?.
used for explaining that you have to listen to elders even when they are totaly wrong?.
So, 30 minutes to eat with your family. 15 minutes to take a dump, then go sit in your seat. DO NOT TALK TO ANYONE. sit and point.
How long are the lunch breaks now? And what happened to all the good upbuilding association at the assemblies?
my little bethel bird has whispered in my ear some encouraging news.
it has been reported to the canadian branch that some witnesses doing cart work had police stop them from carting in public parks.
the direction sent to the southern ontario congregations is to cease carting until further notice.. this is no joke.. have a jw-free day..
I've seen one cart this year. It was in the back seat of a car at a gas station.
3 year anniversary of being out of the borg for me!
July 4th weekend 2015 I stopped going to the KH and haven't been back.
anyone have any suggestions for gifts for father's day?
it happens to coincide with my boyfriend's birthday so i want it to be special but i'm kind of running out of ideas.
budget- up tp $150.
Leatherman. I love a good Leatherman. You can sometimes find new/almost new at pawn stores for less than half price - I have at least. Look at the surge, charge, or wave for him. Fits the gadget/building things side of him.
Bourbon barrel aged stout.
Bourbon, whiskey, etc.
A new gun.

Top 5 on my wish list
be courageous, and blessed is he that cometh in the name of jah.
she didn't want us to go in the ugly vintage station wagon together so she carpooled with her friends, so i'm going dressed as one of the wurzels on a raleigh rally.
oo-arr oo-arr.. the org is robbing us of time together, so i have a right to crash the parties she goes to.. if anyone has any judgments, at least i came carbon neutral..
Pics or it aint real
so i’ve been dating my boyfriend for over a year.
he left the jehovah witness community and we have been living together for one year.
he hasn’t kept in contact with his family because he was disfellowshipped and hasn’t gone to any meetings.
Being on the other side of the situation I wouldn't be worried.
I am ex jw, just married a never jw.
I haven't even thought of setting foot in a kh since I left.
But, if I were going to in the first year of our relationship idk if I would have said anything to her either.
It could be embarrsment, he's awake and doesn't want to be there and doesn't want you to think less of him for going. I know I broke in or slowly brought my gf/wife into discussions of the religion and it took longer than a year.
Ask him if he'd like you to come?
hope this helps.
