  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.

  I began my Van Dyke type goatee the very same day as this article was studied at the kh. a month or so later I began some feedback from several in the congo, none negative!

  A month later I started to hear some rumblings from some elders, though not directly. A week ago an elder asked me why I was growing a goatee and I told him that the wt article seemed to open the door for those with a desire o look a bit more modern. Then I told him to just think of it as an "overlapping" mustache!

  He didn't reply!

  The Governing Body are doubling down on dogma!

  by DATA-DOG in

  in case you were wondering if the governing body we're going to become kinder and gentler, the answer is a big "no!!!

  in the current study edition of the wt magazine, the sheeple are reminded of some very important key points.

  1) god has an organization ( corporation ) that you must respect.. 2) only the gb/faithful slave can dispense spiritual food and only the gb/faithful slave can interpret the bible.. 3) individual dubs absolutely cannot learn "truth" on their own.. 4) god requires "unity of doctrine.

  Mark Twain once said something like;

  "It ain't what ya' don't know that can harm ya', it's what ya' know for sure--- that just ain't true!"

  What is the vow of poverty

  by Jafox in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was told by someone that in 2007 two members of the branch committee in greece were removed because they breached the vow of poverty.

  the matter was over a small amount, in the range of a few hundred euro.

  is there a copy of this vow available and how would this be applied here?

  It's hard to ask for a donation when the 'air time' for showing videos is free-right?

  question from readers: with all the animal sacrifices, wouldnt the temple smell worse than a stockyard?

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with all the cattle, sheep and others wouldn't they be shitting and peeing all over the place?

  along with the gallons and gallons of blood being drained and then the flesh being burned as well.

  wouldn't the stench be unbearable?.

  It must have been a truly great time when hundreds of thousands of animals were slaughtered during the 7 day inauguration Solomon's temple. Thousands of gallons of animal blood to pour out on the ground to appease the god of the universe. Hell of a bar-b-que too!

  So, Anglo-American-Russian world power?

  by schnell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  wasn't russia strongly hinted recently to be the king of the north once again, as it tried to shut down the wtbts there?

  and isn't the king of the north said to lead a coalition of nations against babylon the great?

  so why is the king of the north allying itself with one half of the king of the south, the anglo-american world power?

  Watchtower's Illogical Teachings

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just writing down some notes to share with jws when i meet them.

  here are a few of the problems of logic i see in their doctrines.

  perhaps you can add to them.. systemic contradictions – jws boast about fighting for religious freedom – that is their freedom to share their differing views with people outside the organization - yet there is no freedom amongst members to disagree with any official teaching within the organization without the threat of losing friends and family.

  The Daniel prophecy.

  2,520 lunar years magically become 2,520 solar years to reach the magic year of 1914.

  Not mathematics but math-magic!

  happy new year to all.

  well here we are, 2017, and still no armageddon, no 'great' tribulation', no 'paradise earth'.

  however, the "good news" is that we can now celebrate 102 years under 'kingdumb rule'.

  Happy new year to all. Well here we are, 2017, and still no Armageddon, no 'great' tribulation', no 'paradise earth'. However, the "good news" is that we can now celebrate 102 years under 'kingdumb rule'.

  Think of the wondrous things jehober has accomplished in the past 102 years. Hundreds of millions have died horrific deaths as our loving father looks on, "millions now living" are now starving to death, the wtbts has apparently hit a growth snag, but the amazing thing is that we have just about completed our magnificent new temple in Warwick. Praise jah all you people!

  Don't drink too much and have a happy prosperous new year and if jehober doesn't interrupt history, will be able to celebrate 103 years of 'kingbumb rule' next year!

  Much of the Old Testament accounts do not seem to be historical, shows internal evidence

  by anointed1 in

  1. watchtower

  ezekiel 16 gives a brief history of israel.

  surprisingly, it has no resemblance with what we already know about israel—their origin and progress as given in the prophecy genesis 22:15-18 and also in the description that follows.

  ezekiel repeatedly says (16:2, 45) “your ancestry and birth were in the land of the canaanites; your father was an amorite [descended from one of the sons of canaan (genesis 14:7), occupied large parts of southern mesopotamia, and their god was amurru] and your mother a hittite [ancient anatolian people who established an empire centered on hattusa].

  The Old Testament accounts are just as historical and accurate as any other ancient civilizations' mythological accounts. After all they are just Hebrew mythology and nothing more!
