i ran acorss this on fb.
its a school that is just for jws.
it's not sanctioned by WT at all. i know a kid who did it and he's dumber than a box of rocks. he powered through the whole thing and graduated high school when he was 16 so he could start pioneering. It's sort of a hybrid of home schooling and time spent with other students in the area.
his dad liked the system because he didn't have to take classes like 'algebra' or 'calculus' because he felt they were not needed.
was talking to an elder about beards.
he said that at bethel, only black and hispanic brothers can have mustaches (any actual facts supporting this decision?).
he mentioned that we don't want to stumble anyone so that they won't hear our message.
There's no rule at Bethel regarding mustaches.
That said, if you look at the photographs used in the publications, you will NEVER see a white dude with any sort of facial hair. You will only see blacks and hispanics with it. Which is dumb because as we all know, those photos are supposed to be 'guidelines' for JW dress and grooming. That means the FDS doesn't want white dudes with facial hair.
i'm thinking the watchtower fears them and the bad publicity they generate.
with all the lawsuits pending over childmolestation issue and the $28,000,000 conti case outcome in the balance and close to a conclusion, the gb would like to hide from public view, and so the move to a more secluded spot with tighter security.. i'm thinking that perhaps many will take oportunity to give them a good send off before they leave especially if they loose the conti case..
Maybe? The problem is that no one really gives a shit about protests in NYC. There's always someone on a street corner protesting about something. No one cares.
i notice she hasn't posted for about a month.
she was struggling quite a bit and feeling depressed.
has anyone heard from her or have contact info so you can check on her?.
She's a racist who literally blamed her employment situation on black people. I don't really miss her.

Still Thinking, you are quite literally insane.

jgnat, get out of here with your SCIENCE and FACTS! Around here we only accept things from FOX News, biased hippie websites, and anecdotal evidence! Oh and some of us here enjoy reading published studies and then totally misinterpreting the results!

Hey guys oxygen is poisonous. Better stop breathing. I'm also in tears from laughter that someone posted links from Fox News to prove a thing.
so about 8 years ago, we had a local needs talk about dents an scratches !!!!
it was given by the cobe and this guy was just your normal everyday elder.
except he had his occasional pet peeves... like (you guessed it) dents and scratches on some of the brothers' vehicles.
Yeah that guy is a nutjob. Should you keep your home and car clean? Absolutely. Don't be a fucking pig. Complaining about dings and stuff is insane and that probably has some crazy OCD thing.
i was approached by an elder about a year ago asking what i am going to do with my large collection of wt literature.
he told me the society had put word out that they were collecting old literature.
i asked him why but he couldn't give me a definite answer.
ok. so that's a few kooky elders doing that not the WTBS as we have been discussing in this thread. there's no mandate from the branch to destroy old lit in the KH library or personal libraries.

Ok. Do you have any proof to back that up because everything I've read has said the opposite. JW's were encouraged to get older publications for their libraries. I was a witness in the 80's and never had anyone mention a thing about getting rid of old lit for personal libraries.
I'm downloading the WT Library CD so I can get some relevant articles.
