Change to dress and grooming rules for JWs in USA soon?

by RayPublisher in

my guy with the lurk account on jwtalk (where all the kool-aid drinking jws go to talk about how wonderful 'the twoof' is) sent me some more interesting threads, here's one:.

spoiler: starting new the new service year september.

"there will be new directives from the branch through the circuit overseer on dress and grooming that will disqualify one to be a congregation publisher.

This does not seem legit. Perhaps they could as someone to go home if dressed inappropriately but to disqualify does not seem manageable.

Closing Prayer at RC...youth baptism

by freemindfade in

so while 99% of the closing prayer i did not hear, what i did was the elder say "we need to encourage our young ones to get baptised.

we can't let the world take anymore of them away" .

i found this very strange and looked up in disbelief.

NewYork44M

Who is this "we" he is talking about. Given that the prayer is a conversation with god, isn't his language indicating that he is telling god what to do!?

I always hated it when the one giving the prayer uses this as an opportunity to pontificate an opinion

No end to JW logic, Oranges can make you gay

NewYork44M

I think you heard wrong. It is wearing orange that makes you gay.

If the Governing Body members had to take a 'lie detector test' what questions would you recommend they are asked?

by Esse quam videri in

i think it is reasonable for every leader or head of any organization that has control of peoples thinking and actions should, by law, submit to a lie detector test.

the results would be accessible to any one who had an interest in the matter.this test would be required before appointment to any position and on a yearly basis.

questions could be submitted to a competent and unbiased committee for approval.

NewYork44M

They as so delusional that I am sure they would pass a lie detector test. But just because they believe the lies does not make them true.

What was your eye opening moment?

by WasOnceBlind in

if you had to pinpoint the time or experience that finally made you open your eyes, what would it be?.

i think for me it was the time i saw my dad shun his brother who he had not seen in decades just because he was a da'ed jw.

i thought to my self "no way jesus would do that.

I was a highly discouraged witness that wanted to prove that my life was not a waste. In the process I was in a debate with someone on an AOL chat room and the individual proved unequivocally that what I was taught was a lie.

I remember the exact moment when it clicked. I felt very ill and sat on a chair in the family room and was overwhelmed with sadness.

I remember just feeling overwhelmed. Even to this day, 25 years later, I remember this feeing.

Disfellowshipping Image

by naazira in

jw
friends

this photo can be found in the april 15 , study edition article titled:.

why disfellowshipping is a loving provision.

just by looking at this image we can see how quickly the barrier between the congregation and former member is put up, after the announcement that this sister is no longer one of jehovah's witneses.

NewYork44M

If this is the actual picture from the Watchtower, it tells a wonderful story. The young lady was rejected by these black and white people. In the process of the rejection she gained her true colors. While painful to walk away, the future holds many promising options. As she grows in her new life her colors will continue to grow brighter.

I wish the lady in blue well.

by 1tMakesNoSence in

This man may have saved all those babies, but Jehober will get the last laugh. He will destroy every last one of the at Armageddon.

Jehovah's Witnesses 2015 Regional Convention Saturday PM experience parents shunning children

by Watchtower-Free in

clip 3 minutes long.

ron and brenda sutton ................warwick 3 children

it was the missed association with family that brought them back.

NewYork44M

I call that coercion. You can always coerce someone and many times the strategy works. But that does not make it right.

Jehovah's Witnesses and Plastic Surgery?

by John Aquila in

in my area, a lot of the young jws, especially girls are getting breast implants, nose jobs, chin implants.

asian jws girls get eyelid surgery, and one girl even got her legs lengthen 5 inches making her about five feet nine inches tall the male jws are getting hair transplants and nose jobs.

and nobody in the congregation says a word, including elders.

NewYork44M

Well they do say death absolves all sin!

John Aquila, I hope so. I have a whole list that I need absolved.
