  New GB update - beards are now perfectly ok (no really!)

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to save y’all the agony of having to sit & watch lett (looking even more puffy and jaundiced than the last time), here is a summary:.

  beards are now perfectly fine for anyone & everyone, including ministerial servants, elders, and “special full time servants” (cos and betheliites).. but don’t go and feel “vindicated” — even if you knew you were right about beards, you shouldn’t run ahead of jehovah’s “chariot”.. so there you go.. if you need explicit permission from a puffy steroid addled facial contortionist with an increasingly ridiculous combover to make personal grooming decisions…you might be in a cult .

  "His ex wife ( woman at the door ) didn't recognise him without a beard and a beer"

  If they can witness with a beard now, can they also witness while holding a beer?

  The anti beard thing has been flogged for a hundred years, and was only brought in by da Judge to distance the organisation from Russell. It's taken them this long to realise that it is a non issue? While persecuted people for beard wearing all that time, BTW.

  I don't want to watch that video; GB videos make me I'll. Can you tell me what he said that inspired this thread? Are they allowing beards now? Or are they doubling down?

  A cancerous arsehole, dying of cancer of the arsehole.

  Paradise earth was probably stolen from the Christadelphians.

  It certainly sounds ominous; are they planning to tighten the obedience screws in some abhorrent way, or is this their normal out of touch paranoia speaking?

  FDS 1919 Declaration Date

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  did rutherford have any "prophetic" justification for 1919 as the date that jesus declared him (ahem, the wt organisation) the fds?

  such as some calculation attached to 1914?

  that in 1919, jesus would come looking for his true organisation?.

  "For example, during the early part of the COVID-19 pandemic when we were asked to stop meeting at our Kingdom Halls and to suspend our house-to-house ministry, did you struggle to obey?"

  Considering how central and sacrosanct those are to the WT, I'm not surprised if ordinary JWs struggled to accept a complete 180 from everything they had been told to hold dear!

  ThomasMore, he was certainly a one for pulling crazy ideas out of a hat. I miss Farkel; his takes on da Judge were hilarious.
