  Beards - September 2016 Watchtower

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the issue of whether beards are acceptable or not is addressed in the september 2016 watchtower - well sort of.

  it is as clear as mud as to whether they are allowed in places like australia, usa and britain.. 17. what are some factors that may affect whether a brother wears a beard?17 what about the propriety of brothers wearing a beard?

  the mosaic law required men to wear a beard.

  I tried to look for a list of professions beards are frowned upon. the best I could find are police officer, military officer, banker, and politician.

  But Don't homosexuals shave to appear more feminine? I feel like that would be the objection to not shave 2000 years ago.

There is this feature called blocking where you can white out anyone you dont ever want to see. Its horrifying and it reminds me of disfellowshipping.

  Has the rebranding worked?

  it's been several years since the start of the rebranding of jehovahs witnesses.

  i believe it started with the website change.

  ever since then the religion has moved in a more modern direction.

  I think that after a while JWs will get bored. They have even less thinking required to "preach". The JWs celebrate novelty and once that wears off they will be less happy than they were before.

  You tube channel potholder54 was instrumental in my realization of the ridiculousness of Noah's flood and my understanding of evolution.

  God's name

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first at all, there is a new marketing video of god's name, clearly saying the name of god is jehovah.. link: https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodbible/docid-502014331_1_video.

  and then, there is the video with geoffrey jackson (gb) clearly saying that the original name of god is not known and the use of jehovah is because of it is the most used variant in english.. link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwv_8ocvkj8.

  so, something contradicts here, isn't it?.

  JWs often say that Yahweh is to Jehovah as Yeshua is to Jesus. Not true. Jesus derives from the Greek Iesus, Jehovah is a name made up. It has no Greek pronunciation.

  remember in the "jesus" story, he endorses the Noah account

  
  

  Remember Jesus also spoke in parables. Couldn't the flood be a parable like the Good Samaritan? Jesus also said the mustard seed is the smallest in the world which it is not.
