  Beards - September 2016 Watchtower

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the issue of whether beards are acceptable or not is addressed in the september 2016 watchtower - well sort of.

  it is as clear as mud as to whether they are allowed in places like australia, usa and britain.. 17. what are some factors that may affect whether a brother wears a beard?17 what about the propriety of brothers wearing a beard?

  the mosaic law required men to wear a beard.

  Anyone have any feedback on the beard ban being lifted?

  I was at the one day assembly and low and behold beards are appearing. I saw 2 jw's who were sporting them.

  The snowball has started to roll.

  I’m feeling a bit down and troubled

  what is getting me down are the difficult and troubling experiences posted by some of the forum users.

  in a number of cases i cannot believe the injustice inflicted on the person.

  how, forgive the wording, in god’s name can this be happening?

  You don't have to read what you don't want to. It's all about choice. Read only what you want and pass over what you dont.

  I feel so sad for this young beautiful woman and a tragedy for baby Liam that will never know his mommy.

  By the tone of the articles, I get the sense that this has the propensity of creating quite a bit of raucous for the dubs. They are so bloodguilty.

  i met up with many friends of 50-60 years over the last week.

  these were friends from the neighborhood, school, and kh.

  i renewed some really special attachments.

  Can Someone Explain To Me, Are The Org In Debt Or Rich?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  hi guys.. im aware of the orgs blatant hints to donate, donate, donate to the org, the sacking of bethel staff, selling of buildings, reducing mags and books, emphasis on digital rather than physical books etc which is obviously a money saver - but are the wt org in money difficulty?

  because elsewhere on here and on youtube there's stories of the watchtower being mega rich, one even called it "a billion dollar organization".

  and if there is any money in there, who's benefiting off it?

  They like to pretend they are poor, but they are rich. How rich, no one really can know for sure.

  this is my first time posting on here so i’m not sure where to start.

  i’m trying to keep it as short as possible since i could expand much more.

  i’ve been in the process of waking up in the last year and a half.

  Hello Untruth: I was a wife like your wife is right now. As Scully and many here have said take it SLOW but keep asking those probing questions that will make her think. She may not admit it to you right away, but she will think about them.

  I believe that most jw's harbour secret doubts, but the indoctrination makes it hard to see them. Given time, your wife will see it too.

  A couple of posters that had a great impact on me were maximus and amazing. I've not heard of them for a long time and don't know if they have passed.
