  Attention Governing Body, What does nature tell you about a male having long hair?

  by Greybeard in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was raised my entire life to believe it is a shame for a man to have long hair because of this bible scripture 1 corinthians 11:14, “does not nature itself teach you that long hair is a dishonor to a man?” nwt however the international standard version reads, “nature itself teaches you neither that it is disgraceful for a man to have long hair.” so what does nature really teach us?

  jesus was called, “the lion of judah” and the king of the jungle has long hair.

  thank you nature for clearing this twisted scripture up for me.

  Very Weird Experience During Recent Special Talk After Memorial

  by Tenacious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hesitantly i attended this talk with my family and sat through it without batting an eye.. mentally i take myself out during the entire meeting some would describe this as daydreaming or zoning out.

  whatever the case may be, for some reason this particular speaker, whom i know of but not personally, got my attention the way he would say certain phrases.

  he cited some texts that directly advised the audience that faith in christ was the only way to salvation.

  He probably professes to be of the anointed, over use of the term "father" is a bit of a give away.

  Touching scene from angel-A

  by sillygirlforgotpassword in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was going through a pretty rough patch the last couple of weeks after a breakup, a "vacation" spent at my parents, some health scares and other random thoughts the realization i'm not 25 and as toned and consistently fresh faced anymore (feel free to call me shallow because that i am ;).

  i fully agree that we aren't to worry about aging, but aging gracefully!

  2 weeks at home spent being harassed by my parents for not being up to the spiritual mark didn't help either.

  dear sisters,.

  when you are fortunate enough to be in the presence of a jw penis you must take care to show the proper respect for it!

  doesn't matter if said penis is prepubescent!

  "508 Million Year Old" Exceptionally Preserved Embryos Found

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  actually, they we found over 100 years ago.

  but because so many dinosaur bones have yielded soft tissue, blood cells, dna fragments etc.

  , many have predicted (including myself) when all this really broke loose in 2005, that many more similar discoveries would be made simply by going back and cracking open old fossils and having a look inside.

  If you will insist on reading only creationist sites then this is the result. Fail.

  Perry isnt going to change, he's been on this train to nowhere for the full 16 years of posting here, it is if anything a study into confirmation bias.

  ok, i'm willing, and thinking about going to the meetings, but there is a catch.

  i'm not, nor ever be a jw.

  i know too much about their beliefs.

  Absolutely do not go, but do as shepherdless said be a great dad and teach them other stuff that will help them make correct (non jw) choices later on.

  Going just reinforces the hope that you will come around to it eventually and puts you on the radar for extra attention from the elders etc. It also sends the wrong and conflicting message to your kids.

  Looking back, if my non jw dad had made the effort to get closer to me as a kid instead of me just being afraid of him 90% of the time he'd have weakened the very strong bond I had with my ultra JW mother, and who knows maybe i wouldnt have made those dumb choices like getting baptised at 16. If he'd been there for me in those times and i'd respected him and his opinions I likely would have wanted to please him instead of my mother. What a different life I'd have likely had then.

  Just because the JW'S are wrong doesnt mean theres no god.

  by atomant in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  l;ve been giving this some serious consideration lately.l dont have all the answers no one does.we are all entitled to our opinions.l certainly dont believe in evolution as lve researched that subject extensively.lt's important to believe in something even if its for mental health.l believe everything happens for a reason.l also believe if we all live as close to the 10 commandments as possible this world would be a far better place to live and no one can argue with that.

  I can't take it anymore!

  by BlackWolf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my dad was recently made an elder about maybe 6 months ago, and now he is never around he's always at work or doing some kind of jw crap.

  now he conducts the watchtower study and is even doing the special talk tommorow.

  he's become an even more strict controlling jerk than he was before, and i'm never allowed to go out and do anything non jw related because he doesn't have the time.

  Was your dad an accidental elder or was he reaching out and wanting it?

  If he was an accidental elder then it might well be worth your time to have an adult conversation with him (choose your timing damn well) and kindly lay it out that you are concerned for his well being (you are, honestly you are!) that he will burn out and his family is / will suffer, and that you think he is not being fair to his family who should come first. You are though obviously only saying these things because you care deeply about him, (but dont lay it on too thick or he'll know it's not true.)

  It has to be framed correctly and delivered without judgement only concern and kindness.

  It might make him worse that is a gamble mind, but if he senses you are on his side and looking out for him it might work. If he thinks you are doing it for your benefit he will likely resist.

  Console yourself in knowing it's bollocks so young and that you wont be wasting the best years of your life serving this vile cult just as soon as you are old enough to get away from it.

  There is of course the "no" word. Gradually ramp up it's usage according to your circumstances.

  JW TV - Britain Branch Report

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  although it is titled as "britain branch report" it's not much of a report.

  it only goes for just over 6 minutes and half of it is some 'wild talk' about romeo and juliette, i say wild talk because it has nothing to do with the british branch and if there was any point to it, it's lost on me.. anyway, about the only thing said that is of any importance was this (at the 2.20 mark) -.

  "the governing body, very kindly, have given us permission to continue construction once we have reviewed the scope of the building so we hope to be underway very soon".

  Half of it = parlance for an unnecessary amount, not a measurement of time or weight.
