That trait is found almost anywhere we look today. I believe that some JW's wear a mask. They hide behind those smiles. I see the fakeness, from the platform, out in field service, at the conventions, and notice the guard come down when I'm having that one on one conversation with them.

beards - the truth on the matter?
by ekruks inyour thoughts on the real reasons behind the stigma of beards..........................

Quarterback
Just saw a 7 day Adventist on the Canadian news. He had a beard, and was a leader in the Church. They are announcing that the end is coming next month. Maybe it's because beards make you prophesy.
Or, maybe it's because they don't want the brothers to look like those Dam Filthy Apes.

That's funny, NC, I always pictured you Asian. I would of thought you liked Sake.
I like almost anything alchoholic...not that Guinness beer tho. That is growse. I especially like that wimpy American beer Michelob. But, offer me a Chrown Royal Rye. That is a Canadian drink.

Is disfellowshipped Fiance considered "family"
by rrb2016 ini was born and raised a jw and left the "truth" as soon as i was 18 - but never baptized.
my mother and i have agreed to disagree and have a decent relationship (she is still jw).
whenever i see any people from her congregation they are nice to me and speak to me, and are aware i am not a witness.

One Mormon x wife mentioned that they hide behind the Constitution, and prevent their members from exercising their rights.
Does that sound familiar?

Yes, do you remember those non refundable tickets that we purchased for food. you had to by the whole dollar, not parts of it. We were always over by the end of the assembly....you were stuck with them after that.
