how did the watchtower develop "pogonophobia"?

(beard fear) 1950-1960's long hair and beards were a sign of rebelious youth.

now i am going to do a rear thing here and i am going to stick up for the wts.

i realise that the wts hasn't got the best of track record, and sure they have made mistakes.

but if i was to go to another church wouldn't they still have the same issues.

July 2013 Watchtower "Should You Trust Religion?"
by ilikecheese in

2. bible
i read this article while i was looking at the other magazine you guys were talking about.

they were being really stupid and generalizing about the other religions they were talking about again.

my favorite bit was where someone was saying that they went to a church that passed the offering plate around three times and that they were expected to put money in it each time.

once more ... with feeling!.

"the brooklyn blues" (sung to melody of "those were the days").

once upon a time there was a towerwhere we used to drink from eight to two.remember how we slaved away the hours,and dreamed of all the great things god would do.. then the crushing years went crawling by us,we kept our screwy doctrines on the way.. if by chance i'd see you in the tower,.
