  The Watchtower's method to show that it was appointed in 1919 CE

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  please note that when you tell me of the corrections i need to make that this is a simplfied, minimalist presentation dealing with the society's appointment in 1919.. it is available as a powerpoint show: http://www.jwstudies.com/appointed_in_1919.ppsx .

  and as a pdf: http://www.jwstudies.com/appointed_in_1919.pdf.

  Thanks for the presentation. I must admit I have given up occasionally in your longer documents because I simply lost track of the details, but this way of breaking things down makes it a lot less scary. Have you considered making this into a youtube video where you use this as a slide-show and talk the reader though the presentation?

  Sorry to ask stupid questions, but more congregations can use the same building?

  whats the difference between a language congregation and an ordinary?

  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.

  Dear writing department,

  we would like you to prepare an article which clearly layes out our position on beards. To summarize it, brother Tony would like to remark Beards are not for christians but only for "transvestites, drug users, mexicans and other perverts", brother Morris points out all jews had Beards and in fact is obligatory under the mosaic law and brother lett remarks it is not something the bible teaches a specific position on.

  please state our position in simple terms suitable for instructing the Christian congregation in the coming decades and importantly with full scriptual support.

  with Christian love,

  the governing body.

  we will not weigh you down with burdensome lists, as you have the freedom to choose, but here is our list anyway.some snippets:.

  the law showed jehovah’s strong feelings against clothing that does not make clear the distinction between male and female—what has been described in our day as unisex fashion.

  God is never pleased with anything

  • Barbeque (very well-done)
    
  • Stuff he does himself
  • When people do exactly as he says
  • Songs of praise & glory
  • JW TV
  • A good stoning
  • When you shun your children
    
  • When a 6 year old enters an unbreakable contract with him
  • Stephen Lett

  But asides that, yah, God's not happy at all...

  Good catch. I think wifibandit might have scoped you on this one (he posted a building with a tennis court on top and it looks a bit like this), but the article contains more information. apparently they bought it in 1991 -- why on earth do they buy a building with a tennis court on top and do not change it for 25 years?!
