  Beards in the WT: Africa too

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as many know, african languages have for decades been given their own alternate cover with black people.

  their cover for the 2020 wt#3 also includes a bearded man.

  this can not be a coincidence.

  I never knew that African watchtowers had different covers. Learn something new every day, I guess. Yes, it seems like they may be getting “new light” on beards. What a joke.

  If they defund and disband the police, we will all need to carry a weapon to protect ourselves. Probably not a great idea.

  Sued by inmate, North Carolina concedes Witnesses are distinct faith group, not subset of Protestants

  by Corney in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  last thursday poyner spruill, a prominent north carolina law firm, announced a victory in a pro bono case involving religious freedom of incarcerated jehovah's witnesses.

  the poyner team was appointed by the u.s. district court for the western district of north carolina to represent an inmate challenging the state’s policy governing how and when jehovah’s witnesses can worship in prison.

  the state’s policy classified jehovah’s witnesses as a subset of christian protestants and, on that basis, prohibited separate jehovah’s witness meetings—an infringement on religious freedom under the first amendment.

  They can hold meetings and count time, and invite all the pedos to attend.

  When I left, I registered to vote right away, I never miss an election. Holidays and birthdays, yes. I just tried to live like a normal person. Oh, and premarital sex with my husband of 31 years lol. Sometimes buy lottery tickets.

  Funny, when I left I felt a huge weight lifted off of me.

  The National Anthem

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recent controversies in america brought this to mind , although i don’t want this to become a political thread , rather to discuss the wts rules that stop a jw showing respect for the national anthem.. the watchtower says that doing so is an act of idolatry, giving worship to the state or its icon.

  as such witnesses remain seated when the anthem is played.

  in britain people simply stand quietly to show respect, there is no hand gesture.. when i was a boy, every cinema show and theatre concluded with the anthem,being played .usually it was orchestrally with no words sung.

  I love this thread. I was told by my parents that I would DIE AT ARMAGGEDON if I said the pledge or stood for the national anthem at school, so I complied, feeling like an UTTER ASS and wanting so badly to stand and sing or recite the country that I loved. Because Jehovah reads hearts, at age 6, I knew I would die anyway, because big J would read my heart and kill me. No way for a kid to grow up. It’s child abuse.

  i agree with people who say all lives matter.

  i think blm is a racist group.

  if white people pushed an agenda saying white lives matter, some people would have a conniption..

  Why did they have to HANG MARY?

  by Terry in

  they hanged mary!

  (the townsfolk did)i'll tell you about it - but .... the facts will turn readers against her.

  i mean, after all, she did kill a man.sympathy instantly dries up; making her agonizing death--as awful as it was--much less empathetic.

  Breaking: Beards in The Watchtower

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the latest issue of the watchtower shows a man with a beard praying.. .

  i fully expected to see him 'progress' to clean-shaven in the following pictures, but instead he is still bearded when 'applying bible principles'.. .

  i then realized that he was already featured on the cover itself.. .
