  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 grew a close trimmed beard and was also told, "We can't stop you, but to make it "easier" on you we will be suspending all your "privileges" until you shave." This was after one of the eldurrs had come over and asked me what was on my face, and then sat and had a couple cold ones.

  Two weeks later I was informed that I was on the KH cleaning schedule for the week. On Sunday I was asked why I had not cleaned anything. I said, "If my facial hair somehow makes me unfit for any so-called privileges then I am also not good enough to scrub your toilets!"

  The beard will stay. Hair on my face is great as a thorn in their side.

  "repeatedly stopping and starting the audio tape ... suggesting that she consented to the sexual behavior."

  Nothing like making the victim out to be the guilty party! The guy who did this ought to be taken out, staked by his penis and sack to a tree stump, have the stump soaked with gasoline and lit afire, then throw him a dirty rusted dull pocketknife and let him make the choice. If he cuts himself free then shoot him so he doesn't have to "suffer" anymore!

  Yeah, I know that sounds vicious, but it is nothing compared to the harm to the victims of these sexual predators!

  Which Kingdom Hall Should They Sell? How Does The Governing Body Decide?

  well what rule of thumb do you think these financial dim-wits dream up?

  i think those not sending in their money to the org are some of the first properties to unload while you spare the higher payers for last.

  you don't want to piss off the loyal contributers by making them miss meetings,, that's a no win situation so dump the free loaders as a negative asset and keep the more profitable ones.. and those who's loans the wt forgave, watch what happens if you're not send in those regular payments like before, and slack off by a significant amount.

  KH A gives $$$$$$$$$$. KH B gives $$. KH B will without a doubt be the one to get sold.

  New Video Series On Courtship May Open Some Eyes

  so the wife was watching the latest installment of jw broadcasting and near the end there was a new segment on dating and courtship.

  it starts at about the 39 minute mark:.

  I doubt any eyes will be opened as a result of this idiotic propaganda clip.

  I did notice that a man watching sports is bad, you should be washing dishes with the women. And yes, I did my share of that growing up, it was good training for later. Looking at a vehicle that would be reliable, have a warranty for any unforeseen repairs, thus freeing up valuable time for the oh so important sit on your ass cart work is bad, but having a mansion and the best of appliances and gadgets by the parents is good.

  I also noticed that the future husband is in the normal JDub manner a total whipped looking wimp. Why are less than indoctrinated JW's always good looking and the fully brainwashed JDub men with pretty fair looking wives look like the typical zit faced nerd in junior high school?

  If by some miracle the eldurr conducting the Sunday morning parrot session for this WT lowers himself to call on FedUp I am going to mention the older woman at the empty cupboard by name. I will call her Sister Hubbard. . .

  @startingover re: old versus new song.

  Well so much for making public declaration. Just send the cash! I believe I can point that little fact out to the gung ho JDubs as they make their comparisons.

  My question, how do poor jws afford a tablet, in the US or other countries?

  They don't. They just get looked down upon as spiritually weak for not keeping up with J's chariot. Of course there are a few who like me refuse to be forced into the fad of buying the latest, greatest, shiniest, fastest new electronic gadget. I prefer to keep my money in my pocket, not on display. We are basically condamned because we can afford those gadgets and choose not to use them.

  I wonder how many jws can read music any more?

  If one were to judge by the sound of the "singing" at the local KH I still go to for the sake of still in relatives. . .NONE.

  The insanity continues

  by FedUpJW in

  as if anymore proof were needed that what used to be the religion i was baptized into has ceased to exist i was asked this insane question, when i mentioned to a jdub that someone i knew was celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.

  are they witnesses?".

  i didn't used to really think about that insane question in the past, but now that i have woke up to ttatt it is glaringly obvious that they think there can be no chance of actually knowing and getting along with anyone outside their tiny circle of conditional friends.

  And even more insanity at the WT session this morning.

  Paragraph stated that, "Until they talk with Jehovah’s Witnesses, many do not understand what sin is,. . ."

  The blatant arrogance of the writer could only be mistaken by the idiots who were feeling the orgasmic tingle down their legs as they gleefully opined about how no one except Jdubs really know what sin is until the Jdubs with the help of the governing body bring that news to the people's doors. I nearly gagged on the "comments".

  The growing insanity on the part of so many members of this cult should be of concern to the medical profession.
