in my area i'd guess 30% of the men maybe more have some kind of beard.

So in every single publication just about every first century "Christian" had beards, this includes Jesus. The watchtower proclaims to be a footstep follower of Jesus. So if anyone is "stumbled" by a brother wearing a beard, there is one simple explanation. I wear a beard because I am a footstep follower of Jesus, and point out the many publications that illustrates not only Jesus, but also his apostles wearing beards.
There is no argument to be had here, the watchtower cannot simply forbid beards if they do not follow by example. Besides, the only reason they try to forbid beard wearing is because they want their salespeople to look clean cut on the outside. Fortunately most people realise these days that this is a false presentation to try and recruit more slaves to the watchtower.

"It's a cult, mom."
by schnell in
1. jw
2. experiences
my mom has been extensively texting me, trying to argue that the un ngo scandal is not a big deal and that the child abuse scandal is to instigate the great tribulation.

even worse, she kept saying how great it is that the gb is imperfect and fallible and that teaching changes all the time.

maybe it was aggravation or impatience, but i finally just snapped and told her, "it's a cult, mom.".

I have a similar situation with my mum. However, to preserve the relationship with her, I need to let her have her belief. We know it is a high control cult, however, some people are heavily invested in this cult.
Although it is a loving and caring thing to try and warn a loved one that this cult is dangerous, this person needs to have doubts, you cannot simply "implant" these doubts into an individual, the mind control and years of indoctrination is far to strong.
Sadly, I don't think my mother will ever wake up, so me trying to wake her up will NEVER happen. Sometimes we have to learn acceptance and focus on the cult itself. What I mean by focusing on the cult is knowing that this is not the cult victim's fault, it is the cult that slowly manipulated the victim into total servitude.

please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.

is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.

there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.

Fisherman. Where is the eyewitness evidence that Satan was cast down to earth? I'm not talking about 1914 and the outbreak of WW1, I'm talking about a clear phenomenon celestial in nature. Surely if Satan was cast down, there would be some sort of phenomenon that most on earth would have witnessed. After all, we are talking about very powerful beings here aren't we?
No one saw Satan being cast down, neither did anyone see Jesus invisible (old light) return, therefore, did this really happen, or was it made up? why did other religious dominations not see any of this happening, even to give them a warning?

How to argue with a JW who says the org never said the end in 75
by dogon in

i have argued with several jws who are now being trained to deny the org ever said the end in 75, what is your approach?.
Thisismein1972

I see you highlighted the one thing that you as an indoctrinated JW would think gives you that Gotcha moment Fisherman. This is a typical move made by a JW.
However, you seam to miss the point here. It was the watchtower, and not the JWs that put this thought into the minds of JWs at that time in history. Let me ask you this, was these articles created by just your average JW or was it from the Watchtower?

If anything, we should not be looking towards Amurica for he big T/A. As the bible is predominantly a middle eastern creation, then surely this is where we should be looking. There is nothing in the bible that mentions Amurica.
The whole watchtower created wild beast UN thing is just that, a creation. Where the watchtower spawned the idea that the wild beast would be the american made UN I have no idea!

It's rather funny to read this stuff, it reminds me of the bungling detective Inspector Clouseau.
