  Oub: I was at Bethel during that time frame. Basically, black brothers could shave their head.

  White brothers could not do it unless they were already balding.

  I have no idea if that's changed at all.

  That box is basically pulling bootleg streams and torrents. It's 100% pirated stuff.

  Going to see Star Wars:The Force Awakens - What are you seeing?

  this is not an attempt to 'straightjacket' anyone into a fixed interpretative perspective.

  so set your mind free and see satan and his demons if you reallynwant to adopt a possible jw perspective.

  or, just sit back and watch the show and the trick affects if you want.. or like the uk guardian you could see the movie in terms of dysfunction (personal and family).. quote: the original movies were always based on the most extraordinary nexus of personal and family dysfunction: a motor of guilt, shame and conflict.

  Star Wars is quite literally children's entertainment. It's all just stuff cribbed from the old Flash Gordon serials mixed with a dash of Kurosawa (and a hint of John Ford). Don't think too deeply about it.

  Can an inactive family member hold back a MS appointment?

  by Simon Templar in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a friend asked me if a man can be appointed a ms if he has an inactive (inactive for 15-20 years) baptized adult child living in his home.

  the child lives by the rules and doesn't do anything wrong (jw-wise), as i am told.

  i know the child (adult) and is a good kid as far as i know.

  If a brother has a DFed wife, that won't stop an appointment because it's your wife. You can't divorce her or otherwise kick her out.

  It's been heavily implied in the WT that if you have adult children living at home they better be baptized and in good standing, otherwise they should be kicked out.

  yeah i saw this show up in my twitter feed. Hopefully this will cause some to think about things.

  also, is the 1 billion just for the remaining properties or does that include all the stuff that's already been sold too like Furman st.

  it's yet another formulaic YA movie set in a dystopian future where a special kid saves the day (as always). No thanks.

  Don't forget this was written under the direction of holy spirit.

  But not inspired by holy spirit. There's a difference, you see!

  does anyone know why the congregations are urged to use only recommended hotels for a$$mbies?

  On this same note, I feel the org is also getting kickbacks from "recommending" Apple products to the congregations, and making them more of a necessity. The Apple watch seen on the wrist of a GB member in a video goes to confirm this thought.
  

  Nope. Apple doesn't do this. They gave a handful of watches to AAA celebs and that's it. They do not do paid product placement in movies and TV shows either.

  The place I work for spends over $1,000,000 a year on Apple products and we don't get shit.
