one argument against beards i've heard multiple times, both from individual jws and from the platform is roughly:.
'timothy got circumcised so as not to stumble others!
shouldn't you be thankful you don't have to do that?
@betheliesalot-I don't think anybody has ever stumbled over circumsision unless it is dragging on the floor.
LOL.
@neat blue dog-'Timothy got circumcised so as not to stumble others! Shouldn't you be thankful you don't have to do that?
What I want to know is why were people looking at his uncircumcised dong in the first place?

My favorite line is "If you want to train me, like an animal, better keep your eye on my every move"

i have a full beard and with a pair of electric clippers, i can't come close to having my beard looking at good and trim as jesus in the picture.
i wonder how jewish barbers did it or perhaps his beard was more scruffy than is shown.
does jesus even look jewish?
@orphan crow , Caleb and Sophia all grown up ,lol - "When they lost all that money in the pyramid scheme by brother Moonbat" LMFAO
shalom,.
my mom's family is mostly jws.
during her second marriage, i attended the weekly meeting and sunday meetings (by my own choice) with a family in the very small town we lived, since my mom didn’t attend.
I hope getting that out made you feel better.
For me it read like a lot of different beliefs crisscrossing one another.
There is love here, but very very little tolerance or a stamp of approval for studying with jws.
a thrift store down the street is run by members of a small, local christian congregation.
evangelical but not sure what religion they are affiliated with.
they have set up the store as a non-profit and have a specific use for the funds they acquire.
Years ago when I was in, an elder told me to go get help from the charity down the street. It was for diapers, before I got a high paying job. (that I dont have now.lol) I informed him that I tryed and they wanted me to sign a form that said that I acknowledge that it was the catholic church that gave me help and I was afraid to sign it.. He said "who cares". So loving and hypocritical.
But when I landed the high paying corporate job, I lost count of how many "brothers" came asking for a hand out 'that I was glad to give at the time'. But when I needed diapers???? nothing.
hi does anyone have any bad ministry experiences to share or really funny ones?.
some of mine were:.
- having water sprayed on us with a hose.
The day after my jw grandmother died( I was real close to her) A family member that was raising me took me out in field service , it was her sister that had just died the day before. I saw dead grandmother with her mouth open waiting for the coroner to arrive just the day before, I was devastated. So I started crying while going from door to door and was violently shaken by her and screamed at me to pull myself together. I can never forget that and I cant forgive it either. Something tells me that that was my childhood breaking point.
I only had a good time in FS when i didnt have to go.

I love what this song is saying. Especially at 4:50 to the end of the song. It is Very graphic. Proceed with caution. lyrics are displayed. I find it very fitting to escaping the jws!
