  Attention Governing Body, What does nature tell you about a male having long hair?

  by Greybeard in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was raised my entire life to believe it is a shame for a man to have long hair because of this bible scripture 1 corinthians 11:14, “does not nature itself teach you that long hair is a dishonor to a man?” nwt however the international standard version reads, “nature itself teaches you neither that it is disgraceful for a man to have long hair.” so what does nature really teach us?

  jesus was called, “the lion of judah” and the king of the jungle has long hair.

  thank you nature for clearing this twisted scripture up for me.

  zeb: Nah. It's been well documented in the news and on this site. The Russian government is basically going after anyone who is not a white heterosexual member of the Russian Orthodox Church.

  Sounds like the OP needs to go see Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice because it directly answers this question.

  the pledge is over and all the children sit back down at their desks.

  Are you seriously writing a novel? That's really bad. Like, worse than the worst stuff you'll find on Amazon.

  Mass baptism nullification 10/2/16 #unJW

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i thought i would rework this and try it again.

  i found an old baptism nullification letter here written by poster balsam, and revised it a bit.. i really think we should do a large-scale baptismal nullification request.

  letter and more info here.. i am concerned there is no way to track how many people did it.

  Armchair activism accomplishes precisely nothing, especially with JWs

  DVDs and CDs were made by a 3rd party so it's another cost saving measure.

  Activism idea. Get former JWs celebrities to raise awareness

  by Viva la Vida in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it just occurred to me that former jws celebrities could help in a campaign to raise awareness on some of the most controversial jw's practices (two witness rule in relation to child abuse, shunning, blood).

  we would need some of them to record brief videos and share them through social media.

  this can be more effective than what any of us could individually do.

  Yeah none of them really give enough of a fuck. It's such a narrow focus when compared to ending shit like world hunger or something like that.

  That list is also extremely misleading because a lot of those people were most likely never baptized and can't really be considered 'inactive'

  morning warship - he was the only restraint and i'm not saying that lightly.

  i know there are a dozen others here who were in bethel back in the early 2000's who know what i'm talking about.

  he actually kept me thinking this was jehovah's org because of his sincerity as if the holy spirit was operating in him.

  Oh god. "THE HOME" The people who were overseers in the home and their underlings were the worst. Biggest group of assholes at Bethel.
