i find it very amusing and she is not even a grandmother even though they like to portray am as a grandfather.. here's what their 1990 w 12/1 says about movie stars.

I can confirm that GB go out in field service. When I was there one of my friends drove some of the older members around out in service. On saturday mornings i'd see them heading in/out of the KH in 124 with mags and stuff.

as for Morris' wife in laundry, it was when she was in the service department so she wouldn't have been given that cushy job. even then depending on her age it could have been a 'part time job'

Hot topic in congregations: having a beard/goatee

by nevaagain in

jw

i am starting this topic because i was wondering, i see many who leave "the truth" are glad because they can finally have a beard.

is having a beard really a no go in congregations?

how is / was it in your congregation?.

Barrold Bonds

Official policy is a brother cannot have privileges if they have a beard. some congregations might be lax and some exceptions are made but it's rare. I have seen that in NYC black brothers could have a soul patch but that's it.

fun facial hair fact: Go through all WT publications since 1980 or so (since they started using photos and not paintings). Try to find a white dude with ANY facial hair. You won't. You will find plenty of black and hispanics with mustaches but never a white guy. So if you're one of those JWs that uses those pictures as examples of proper dress and grooming, you're supposed to pick up on the fact the society doesn't want white dudes with facial hair.

i forgot about thus until yesterday.. at the coming dc/ic this summer, pioneers are not allowed to get hard copies of new publacations!

elder & ms, and anyone else that wants one, can!.

stupid!.

Barrold Bonds

that makes zero sense. it's not like they'll even know who the pioneers are anyway.

not to mention they haven't even decided if they'll be doing day and date digital releases

I know a kid who graduated from there. They basically rush you through the minimum required to get a HS diploma so you can pioneer at age 16 or whatever. It's so easy. He told me liked it because he didn't have to take hard courses like algebra (which is easy but whatever).

Congrats on being uneducated I guess. Enjoy working for your dad the rest of your life.

National Public Radio (NPR) broadcasts today about JWs. Do you want to hear the secrets of what this religion has been keeping under wraps?

by AndersonsInfo in

to all those who frequent this discussion board:.

we just wanted you to know that an investigative public radio program named reveal, produced by cir (center for investigative reporting) and prx, will present today, saturday, february 14th, the results of new investigations uncovering hidden stories.

in this weeks story, there will be three different topics covered.

Barrold Bonds

That was a seriously good read. I wish every JW could read it but they won't. Maybe someone better versed in law could answer this for me, though. In the article, it said that Losch was given a subpoena but he straight up refused to appear in court. I thought a person could be held in contempt and fined/put in jail. Is this different for civil cases?

They claim to obey the law unless it conflicts with God's law in the Bible. How does appearing before court or handing over documents conflict with the bible? answer: it doesn't
