Didn't Charles Taze Russell have a beard? And based on the custom at the time, Jesus would have had a beard ... nevermind, they were never Jehovah Witness.
What's also strange is I was told JW men didn't have beards because it wasn't the custom (in western civilization). So why are they picking on a new convert in Papa Nu-Guinea, where it is the custom for men to have a beard?
scene: a man and his wife talking before they prepare their watchtower study together.
me: sweetheart, i love you so much.
let me ask you something though.. her: ok sure babe.. me: hypothetically say i was an abusive husband..... her: your not though.. me: i know, but just hypothetically if i was an abusive husband and i hit you what would you do?.
I think I'll go to the meeting this w/e and answer up:-
A loving christian wife may be able to sway her unbeleving mate by consitent good example. Even if this means she suffers years of physical abuse in an unloving environment. We can thank the slave for this timely advice. This is another example of how we are 'no part of this world' as worldy women would contact police and start divorce proceedings.

Which Watchtower is it in? My wife needs to read this one.
examining the scriptures daily.
interesting.

I wonder if jehovahs-witness.net will ever get a take-down notice from the Watchtower (considering the amount of JW material posted here)?

@jwfacts
It's about control, not about whether or not the said site is supportive of the Watchtower. Imagine that site had thousands of JW daily visitors, then the site's owner (for whatever reason) decided that he/she is no longer going to support Watchtower teachings. The owner could slip in a few "Apostate" teachings, that could damage the Watchtower's business interests.

If their works are truly 100% "Bible based" then they have no legal claim to copyright, as it's not a creative work, but based on effort. This is especially true for the New World Translation.
Also, the fact they don't name authors could also be used against them in any copyright case.
I suspect there is a huge element of creative license used in all Watchtower literature?
I think as the Watchtower moves more to online (e.g. reduced print, more downloads), their legal department will be seeking out sites for copyright infringement cases in an effort to reduce search engine competition, and eliminate apostate sites.

I know a few brothers with beards. However they never "progress" to become MS or elders, despite all their efforts in "the truth".
hey guys, just wanted to hear your stories about the worst dates you have been in or have heard about.. .
let's see... worst date... hmm.... .
okay so this didn't happen to me, but i was there lol.
When I was 23 I went on a movie date with a girl. She went to the toilet, and never returned. That was the best part. The worst part was the movie sucked.

discuss...
My wife breast feed until they got teeth and started to bite
the question i have is, should i even bother?
i am not even sure why he wants to watch this particular video.
ive already seen it with my wife a few days ago and already seen how they leave a lot of details out concerning their teachings of old.
@Fernando
Your approach will never work. As soon as a JW hears someone wants to discuss 'good news' and 'kingdom', they'll immediately go to the WTBS-CDROM and print out every article on 'good news of the kingdom'. Then they'll focus on those articles as if they were inspired. Their brain is hard wired to support WT doctrine.
Even if you point-blank point out what you're trying to say, from the bible, they'll deny it in favor of some Watchtower understanding from two decades ago.
