Zindagi, Why don't you ask the elders in your congregation, after all they are the ones who have taken the decisions?

You think I have not alrready ! They themselves are a confused lot with double ,triple standards. By the way two elders have beards .Both father and son. When asked about it they said for medical reasons, we are not rebelling or anything. So the conclusion is if you grow a beard you are looked upon as a rebel, they will see you as not in subjection. Was about to say "So do you think Jesus was also a rebel then" but bit my tongue. Was already in hot water asking questions. In my experience no BoE likes to be questioned, the sooner one suggests anything they take it as challenging their positions. I have never seen so much insecurity with regard to their positions anywhere else.
Peace.

Thank you all for your responses.
Since I dont drink alcohol at all I have to look for other ways to keep busy at the meetings, assemblies. I get on with things that need doing, catch up on things as well.It is gloriious to be in the internet age.

At what point would you lose your consciousness and reality?? (really being explored on TV shows now)
by Bad_Wolf in
1. social
2. entertainment
many recent shows and movies are showing and exploring people having their consciousness absorbed into digital form or transplanted to younger clone bodies to extend life.

parts of our brain can be cut or damaged, but we are still us.

our bodies can be replaced with artificial limbs but we are still us.

I would lose consciousness if someone hit me hard on the head..
And would lose reality when a JDUB knocks on my door...

I have been told a few times that a visiting speaker was asked not to deliver his public talk coz he had beard. So he just had to sit through the meeting.
Its is very confusing and bible says he is a god of order.Where is the order there?

Yeah ours has it one newly baptised sister had a nose piercing while studying still has it but when another brothers wife got a nose piercing (she comes from a background where it is just jewelllery), also she has been trying to get it done for years but each time she gets an infection or something goes wrong .then she leaves it for a few years then tries again. when this time she got it pierced the elders were not happy but kudos to her husband who stood by her and supported her with the BOE'S.THEY NEED TO STOP NITPICKING adn not be overly judgy about every little thing. Spirituallity should be the focus and devotion.
Again two differnt standards for two people in the same cong. Flock will stumble.

Secondly being 'clean shaven' became the new standard especially among Hollywood and TV male actors. Hollywood often set standards on grooming and how we look and how we dress in the 1920's to this day. In the 1950's the T.V. clean shaven look was the norm.
Yet we are still asking our women ie sisters to wear knee length skirts , outfits which are 1960's style perhaps which looks gaudy. No one is encouraged to follow hollywood hairstyles (not extremes but evn a little give) is nowhere to be seen. eg tony tightpants.
Similarly the view to color hair some colors are acceptable but blue green pink etc is worldly???????? Funny , confusing .Either follow bible standards or follow hollywoods.Pick one !
Peace.

CONFUSING STANDARDS OR HODGE PODGE?

I have spoken to quite a few bro's and all of them have said different things. Some Elder said it depends on the opinions of the local area about it too, some said depens on how the local cong feels. So I ask where is Jehovah's bible based principle on this.Tat is all.
Listen to thsi which contradicts itself within one cong itself.Three bro's in my cong.Two sporting frenchcuts, and one a normal beard and moustache.
After a year or so, the normal bearded one gets baptised and moves on to be appointed as a MS.
After sometime one bro with the frenchie is counseld to go clean shaven.
Last bro with the frenchie , not a peep.
So any elders or co's about can you explain what principle is being applied to all three?
I personally do not give two hoots but willing to see reason based on Bible based guidelines.
Anybody?????????

Interesting days text today

sunday, december 30. asa’s heart was complete with jehovah all his life.—1 ki.

15:14.. each of us can examine his heart to see if it is fully devoted to god.

ask yourself, ‘am i determined to please jehovah, to defend true worship, and to protect his people from any corrupting influence?’ for example, what if someone close to you has to be disfellowshipped?
