  Beards- just told by an elder

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know this subject has been talked about lots over the years, just thought i would share a recent finding from canada.. while visiting with a group of friends, an elder (don’t recall how the subject came up) mentioned the local body had voted to allow brothers with beards be allowed to give talks from the platform.

  (it was a very close vote).

  the direction given was for each congregation to decide for themselves if that is now acceptable.. so some congregations will be for, and for many it will not.. it’ll probably be a long time before we see any pictures on the watchtower where they’re allowing this though..

  do anyone here remember a now inactive webpage that would generate hypothetical convention themes?

  it may have been something like districtconventionthemegenerator.

  com.. this was from about 20 years ago.

  A lot of info is lost on the net.

  The Glenn How law firm is located at the Canada branche of jw.org

  The lawyers of the firm are jw's, and hired by Bethel Branches all over the world, when there is a case against jw.org

  https://www.wghow.ca/

  My opinion is that this is a jw businesscase.

  The lawyers of How are hired by jw.org, and the local witnesses donations are transfered to the firm because off the lawyer costs.

  But it's also owned by jw.org

  One line with so much to think about.

  Could this be a JW media venture?

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm wondering if this is another step in wt branching out into attempting to profit through media production.

  last year they already registered their hollywood style company "jw studios" as an llc, unlike their other corporations which are non-profit.. ( more information on that here: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5740817149853696/jw-studios-llc-commercial-purposes ).

  now, i see this video of a wt spokesman.

  Nothing new. We know already that jw.org is a businessmodel. Not relevant.

  anything you remember that went in org that you feel embarrassed now?

  i remember back in the 80s how seems like every magazine was about bashing other group's.

  how holy and faithful watchtower was compared to catholic church.

  Preaching the Good News with Rising Gas Prices?

  by truthlover123 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i fear this could put an end to travelling a territory due to rising prices- where i am located in canada, we are now paying $2.08 per liter .

  now since there is 3.79 litres in one gallon that equates to $7.88 per gallon... .

  how many in a car group will kick in?

  They can walk 3 days to the field, just like Afrincan brs and srs fine examples in the publications.

  Typical a first world way of thinking.
