  Have you ever seen a JW with a beard?

  by SpannerintheWorks in

  ok, you've probably guessed i'm not talking about the women!.

  but jesus had a beard (just look at any wt publication) so did paul, john the baptiser (or baptist if you've got an earlier publication), etc.. surely all jw men should have beards!

  they are christians (the only true ones) aren't they?

  We had an elder in our hall who had a beard and it was announced from the platform that he had "medical authorisation" to wear a beard since he had a skin condition that made shaving painful. And now you know the rest of the story . . . .

  The One Lesson They Cannot Learn

  by metatron in

  can the watchtower ever open its eyes and learn from its mistakes?.

  if so, here's a lesson screaming at them:.

  stop making enemies.. it's just as simple as that.

  Let them discern how people are willing to sacrifice time and considerable
  effort - to seek their defeat

  Good thread. I agree that money and pride are behind the arrogance and I also agree that they'll probably never change, unless it's to become even more a caricature of themselves. But I also think the only reason that what Metatron describes hasn't happened is that most people just don't care about Jehovah's Witnesses, who they are or what they do. If that ever changes, and they do indeed anger a group, or a governmental agency then you will see pressure and effort brought to bear on the Witnesses (ala the Catholic church and their sex scandals) and then there might be some new light rather quickly.

  Are JW's only in it for the New System?

  by In_between_days in

  1. jw

  if the new world hope no longer existed, would everyone leave?

  would some stay?

  what do you think the reaction of the dubs would be if the new light was no armaggedon and no "new system"?

  I wonder though if your arguments will hold water with Jehovah when the time comes after all he is the one that decides who is right

  I'm not afraid.

  this came up on another thread.. can you be disfellowshipped for french kissing?

  if so, was that always policy?

  does that apply to married couples or just singles?

  Homosexuals have been known to French kiss, therefore it is not appropriate even within marital relationships.

  Homosexuals hold hands. So that's out.

  Homosexuals get married. So that's out.

  Problem solved!

  Watchtower Has Statute of Limitation on SIN?

  by Nanoprobe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  statement from the vicki boer trial .

  lawyer colin stevenson argued that momm and his allies were confusing the spiritual law of the witnesses, which imposes a three-year statute of limitations on such things as abuse, with the law of the land, which requires immediate reporting.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=36530&site=3.

  was anyone aware of this?

  I'd never heard this either. Does this mean that "waiting on Jehovah" lasts only three years?

  Backed into a corner, people will say anything, do anything to get out.

  Morrisamb,

  I hope you don't mind me asking, but you say it was a five year project; did it take you 5 years to actually write the book? Was it difficult to actually put the words down on paper or did you find it cathartic on some level? What did you find difficult about writing this book?

  The reason I am asking is that I am a survivor of incest and I've always found journaling about my abuse very difficult. It's not that I don't know what to say, it's that I find it difficult to actually write the words down on paper. Please excuse me if I am intruding too much. I do not mean to irritate or annoy, I'm only curious. Actually I admire your ability to take a hideous situation and make something positive out it.

  Thanks,

  Chris
