Condolences. We are beat down by the " not grieving " BS. That said, my parents were the never going to pass away generation. They were good people. It is part of the realization of TTAT. Along with the missed opportunities, petty mean brothers.

Reasons: . It might offend someone. A beard is rarely seen in the US, though accepted in parts of Europe. You will not qualify for stage parts. ( talk about a hollow threat)
I have been complimented by neighbors, family, friends on covering my mug.
As for rare, surveys show 1/3 to 1/2 US men have facial hair. I did an informal survey at the mall, 7 of 10 had beards, and not just mustaches either.
If I shave it will offend neighbors, family, workmates, and me. Neatly trimmed,xtoo.

This ugly head just came up. Skin conditiin? Not be in school? Unamerican!? Baptism not allowed fir new guy.
The article was clear as mud. A citation on Israelite men said they had neatly trimmed beards, then cites the scripture forbidding cutting beards.
Time to block phone numbers.

The scene of the world us changing. (tm)
That said, the queen was popular and took her position seriously. I hope good for and from CharsrlesIII.
The radio had interviews from england. Criticism I thought unfair; homely, white( yellow pink actually), male, lineage, and has speech writers. !! This from a young professional woman who saw fit to abandon India for better opportunities arising from what she decries. I have never met an Indian immigrant from a low caste (it still exists), they have no opportunity. "If the shoe fits....."

The " bible study"( actually bookstudy) is last. It has lots of videos interspersed. The student talks are skits. As usual 5 minutes material will fill a half hour. Announcrments are dead last, so no more waiting until after middle song, getting any tidbits and leaving.
You can find the schedule and material under meetings on JW library, no passwords or joining needed.

I fear for the future of the royal family. Charles and I grew up together, separated only by language, a puddle, and a few million quid. I really thought the queen was going to outlive him.
Slim chance I will see William and Kate ascend. They seem to have couth.

Latest jw broadcast referring to allegations of protecting pedophiles
by jonahstourguide inhi folks.. i put this in abuse as i thought it relevant.. a physically in mentally out friend that considers our friendship greater than religion told me that on the latest broadcast steven lett alluded to satans voice being behind people that claim the organisation protects pedophiles.. my friend then went on to say they must be in damage control.. he added, but that is correct, they are hiding their internal records.
is not that construed as protecting the accused?.
if i get the inclination i may post a snippet of what was actually said.. sadly my friend is trying to protect his family relationships and so goes along with the charade.. his situation weighs on me but, as many of you here know, it can be a difficult road to travel.. jtg.
