We're All Going To Die
by Garrett inlife has been busy, but i am now on 2 weeks vacation which allowed me some thinking room.
and here's what's been on my mind.. we're all going to die.

I have come to accept that I will die just as all before me. No one has ever cheated death.
What I find more sobering is the fact that 200 years from now, likely not a single person living on this planet will know that I ever existed, yet people will still be talking about assholes like Rutherford.

What is their official explanation for not allowing beards?
by keyser soze ini ask because my gf, who knows all about my jw upbringing, convinced me to grow a goatee, just to see how it looks.
we both decided it looked good so i decided to keep it.
i tried to explain to her that as a jw, i wasn't allowed to grow one, but then drew a blank when she asked me why.

We had black brothers who had shaved heads and nothing was said.
As soon as a white brother decided to shave his head then there was some kind of problem.
I suppose they associated it with the skin head movement.

I grew a goatee while still an active JW. Many in the congregation said it looked good on me and didn't understand why they didn't allow it. Since I was not a MS or Elder, there was nothing said to me about it. I was in a liberal congregation.
What I did notice was they would only schedule TM talks in the 3rd school down in the basement and when I tired to make arrangements to go out door to door with elders they would not show and make some arrangement ahead of time for me to work with someone else but never bothered to tell me in advance.
Rutherford who sold encyclopedias door to door as a young man took the same model for creating his JW sales force to peddle his WT propaganda understood the image of first impression. Russel obviously had no issues with the beard.

Questions that don't deserve their own topic thread (QTDDTOTT)
by Saintbertholdt ini haven't seen a topic thread like this one, so i thought i might start one.
as the title suggests, this is a topic thread for anyone's questions that have quick or one line answers.
for example: how many meetings do the witnesses have per week?

Glasses For The Color Blind
by Village Idiot ini am not color blind and i have no connection to this company but i ran across this and i just had to share it.
hopefully it might help someone on jwn.. these glasses allow most persons who are color blind to see true colors for the first time.
they also give a fascinating super color enhancement effect to people with normal color sight.

My father was color blind, I was not, but all three of my children are. I think most can get along in life fine unless your an electrician working with color coded wiring.
Thanks for posting VI.
