  Can White JWs Have Mustaches?

  by Space Madness in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  someone mentioned in another thread that white jws can't have mustaches but black jws can.

  i noticed that the only governing body member with a mustache is black.

  can anyone confirm that this is an official policy?

  The school book says:

  *** be study 15 p. 133 par. 1 Good Personal Appearance ***

  For men, a neat personal appearance may include being clean-shaven. In areas where mustaches are widely viewed as dignified, any who wear these should keep them neatly trimmed.

  So, there is no general ban on mustaches.

  I remember this passage because I once was Theocratic School Overseer, and gave a talk on this lesson from the book. I spoke quite freely, so I said something like 'If someone has a beard, it must be neat.' (The German word for "beard" is "Bart", and "mustache" is "Schnurrbart".) So, after the meeting, an Ex-elder came to me: "Stephan, read this passage!" (I read it) "And what did you say on the stage?????" - "I said that if someone has a beard, it must be neat" - "BUT THE BOOK SAYS MUSTACHE! MUSTACHE! MUUSSSSTTAAACCCCHHHEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT BEARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

  http://dailytext2.wordpress.com/2014/05/19/a-private-place-should-be-designated-for-use-outside-the-camp/

  Alternative Daily Text for Monday, May 19, 2014

  “A private place should be designated for use outside the camp.” (Deuteronomy 23:12)

  God provided clear instructions for Israel’s trek through the wilderness. He also regulated how the call of nature should be answered. There should be a privy “outside the camp,” and he commanded: “There is where you should go. A peg should be part of your equipment. When you squat outside, you should dig a hole with it and then cover your excrement.” (Deuteronomy 23:12, 13) What did this mean in practice? To get an idea of it, we have to realize how big Israel’s camp was. “The number coming up out of Egypt, namely, 600,000 able-bodied men besides women and children, would mean that there could have been more than three million persons.” – Insight on the Scriptures, volume I, page 778.

  “More than three million persons” need a lot of space. Los Angeles has 3.9 million inhabitants and occupies 503 square miles. Imagine that for all inhabitants of Los Angeles (or Chicago, or Berlin,) there would only be a single privy outside the city! Even with our modern transportation means, a trip across such a city can take an hour. But in Israel’s camp there was no subway; every inhabitant had to walk to the privy outside the camp by foot.

  Of course, back then there were no multistory buildings, only tents. If we assume that every person needed 100 square feet, the camp would have had a diameter around 4 miles. A person could walk that distance in an hour; of course only if there would not be tens of thousands of others on the way. But we must not forget that there were not only 3 million people in the camp, but also “flocks and herds, a great number of livestock.” (Exodus 12:38) The animals must have been near their owners. We don’t know how large the “flocks and herds” were, but some people owned thousands of animals. (Job 1:3) And we also don’t know what happened to the animals’ excrements – maybe they were left in the camp, or the owners gathered them and brought them to the privy.

  Due to the many animals, the camp might have had a diameter of 12, or maybe even 30 miles. Depending on one’s home location, the way to the privy and back could have taken a day or more. And imagine how pleasant it was to live at the edge of the camp, right next to the privy! Granted, there were the noises and smells, but the way to the privy was short. All in all, we can conclude that Israel’s camp was perfectly organized.

  Alternative Daily Text for Wednesday, May 14, 2014

  “Wail, for the day of Jehovah is near!” (Isaiah 13:6)

  How do we know that “the day of Jehovah” is now nearer than in Isaiah’s or Joel’s day? The January 15, 2000 Watchtower mentioned “six lines of evidence proving that we are living in the last days of this ungodly world.” One of these reads: “The number of genuine anointed disciples of Christ is dwindling … Most of the remnant are quite elderly, and over the years the number of those who are truly anointed has been getting smaller.” – pages 12-14.

  “For many years now, the number of the remnant of anointed Witnesses has been decreasing.” (1993 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses, page 253) No wonder, for “from the end of the 19th century and on into the 20th, Jehovah has been completing the gathering of this group … to make up the full number of 144,000.” (The Watchtower, January 1, 1997, page 10) This shows “the significance of the diminishing number of anointed ones on earth” – it indicates “that the end is close at hand.” – The Watchtower, August 15, 1997, page 15.

  “In view of their diminishing numbers, the anointed cannot be present in all congregations.” (The Watchtower, April 1, 2007, page 25) While there had still been 8,685 anointed ones in 1988, only 13,204 of them were left in 2013. “Admittedly, the number of anointed Christians left on earth is declining” because “the gathering in of all his anointed remnant was completed about 1935.” (The Watchtower, October 15, 1995, page 26; July 15, 1969, page 433) But still some of them are alive. No wonder that many Jehovah’s Witnesses “wail,” and that “their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth” can be heard everywhere! – Matthew 8:12.

  Look! It was very good – or: Evil in the Animal Kingdom

  by TheOldHippie in

  i have fed a number of birds regularly thru winter, and among the species were some doves.

  this spring, two of them took a liking for each other and teamed up.

  for a couple of weeks, extensive construction work was jointly done and resulted in a nice little nest, undoubtedly a cosy home for the small family which expected to multiply.

  Also note that though "all of God’s creative work is perfect," "every swarming creature of the earth is something loathsome."
