  Did anyone get the old "counterfeit money" illustration?

  a couple of my old witness girlfriends came over last night (note-i only recently left the org.

  like 2 months ago, so people are still trying to get me to come back and "reason" with me)...and they used that stupid "counterfeit money" illustration.

  i swear, every time i tell people i don't think it's the truth, they put that old illustration on me!

  Is anyone familiar with james randi? Hes a magician that has shown how easily scientists can be tricked. scientists tend to study real experiments and dont usually focus on how to fake an experiment. Some may only focus on the bark let alone miss the forest from the trees. Sometimes it is useful to see counterfeits so not to be fooled.

  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.

  I like the Jw day pass idea.

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