Growing a beard

by Coded Logic in

i've always been currious as to how i would look with a beard so i've finally committed to doing it.

over the next 30 days i'm going to grow out a full chin to ear beard.. .

ps: any suggestions or advice on how to grow a beard would be much appreciated!.

moisturize to keep it easy to groom. I would suggest going to a GOOD barber and letting them give you your first trim so that it is a style that suits your face instead of just a huge doormat

My Dissociation letter

by TJ Curioso in

hi to everyone!i was summoned to the judicial committee and went.

it was a respectful conversation from one side to the other.

in the end i handed the dissociation letter in hand and a binding to each of the elders, with an article i wrote on the subject, "are jehovah's witnesses a destructive sect?

TJ CURIOSO excellent letter! I also wrote a letter laying out why I left and 3 months later another elder who was on the body with me (who now has left, and told me how the points I made in my letter were the motivating factors in him finding TTATT) has left and is a good friend of mine.

Desirous of Change holds a view that seems to be held by a number of people who are scared to just leave in a stand up fashion.

Kudos to you my friend, KUDOS

if you have the time and the means to visit israel right now, you can see something that few modern people have seen.. at the israel museum in jerusalem, a very special document will be on display.

the museum's website heading describes it as:.

Bible God was not capable of preserving a master copy? My 13 year old daughter has the presence of mind to backup her copies of mp3s and Photoshop doodles but booboo in the sky forgets to enable the autosave feature for the book that is suppose to bring the world salvation.

Can anyone name a single incident when bethel has fed the poor ever ?

by Chook in

charity is lacking from the house of god.

i remember reading once about some young pioneer sisters who needed emergency accommodation and where turn away from brooklyn because they weren’t special pioneers.

charity begins at home..

Sad experience, but when I was there I worked in the recycling department in the office complex. Every single meal there would be at least 10 to 15 of those 50 GALLON CANS of untouched and unused prepared food that would be thrown straight in the trash.

Funny enough a bunch of people would come down after the meals and take huge portion s of cinnamon buns and other items that were tasty because they didn't want to appear glu think is by taking it in front of everyone else...

Why this obsession over every aspect of this ridiculous desert dweller iron age religion. A desert god that ordered the murder of men women children and animals so his best buddies could have a place to live.

To this day people walk on eggshells so as not to offend these people when their own god was the most racist/prejudice homicidal maniac of all time... that Is if you want to believe that he existed

Parttakers

by Freedom rocks in

i was reading another thread about the new gb member and it got me wondering if anyone knows someone who partook of the emblems at the memorial even though they knew they weren't 'anointed' just to see what reaction they got?

did they get questioned by elders?

did people start treating them differently?

silentbuddha

There was this one sister who had been sucking the genitals of a local brother and lost priveledges and put on reproof. While she was coming back she started dating an older brother who had his own issues but was twice her age.

Once she got priveledges back she started pioneering and like a year later she was all of a sudden anointed. NO ONE BELIEVED HER but they were all scared to speak

_Morpheus no worries, the question was open to anyone who felt they could discuss the topic and didn't feel so concerned about semantics.

Thanks for letting everyone know why you didn't bless us with a response though.
