  How many of you remember the "Pioneer Shuffle " and the special "time reporting" of pioneers?

  by Foolednomore in

  i started pioneering in my late teens an remember how slow pioneers would walk to the doors while out in circus.

  also, they would not really talk to anybody at all.

  they would start their time as soon as they got dressed an out the door, while us regular shucks started our time at the first door we knocked at.

  I vacation pioneered once and hated every minute of it and witnessed the hypocrisy of counting time.

  And still didn`t wake up

  No beards...even Jesus! Strange Watchower rule for brothers!

  by Witness 007 in

  2. bible

  watchtower 1954 p.511 "why do watchtower publications now show jesus with short hair and no beard?

  because he is shown that way in older representations of him that are older then the traditional effeminate looking pictures.".

  watchtower 1968 p.286 "bible evidence and a recent review shows that jesus did have a beard..." charles russell style of beard was popular at bethel...till rutherford took over.

  I had a couple of run ins with P.O. / Elders over my 32 years as a JW about my beard and I regret to say I caved in then.

  But since 1993 I proudly wear my well trimmed beard ,and now i`m even letting my hair grow a bit longer ?

  Who knows when it will stop ?

  If humans could do that ,whats the need for elevators in the first place

  Maybe the GA writers never considered Ps.146:3 "Do not put your trust in nobles ( scientists ) ....Jesus ? Jehovah ?

  The JWs at the Kingdom Halls can ask visitors (the public) to show their vaccination card,...?

  In the half dozen or so KH`s I belonged to in my 32 years as a JW you could count the "visitors" / public on one hand without doubling up on a finger.

  Where will the war in Ukraine lead to?

  by Kosonen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there has been comments in the news recently that the war in ukraine could be the beginning to the world war three.. i would not be surprised if it is.

  .

  the bible says a time will come when the peace will be taken from the earth.. revelation 6:4 another came out, a fiery-colored horse, and it was granted to the one seated on it to take peace away from the earth so that they should slaughter one another, and he was given a great sword.. have you heard what possibly this war in ukraine could lead to?.

  “pushing” used in the Bible book of Daniel referring to the king of the north and south also is used in the news to describe the conflict with Russia and the US. That is an amazing coincidence.

  That`s a big leap of faith to make Fisherman:

  Nowhere in the Bible does the KON refer to Russia and more importantly nowhere in the bible is America referred to the KOS nor could it ever have been.

  Any speculation and that is what it all is that what`s happening in world events today has anything to do with Bible prophecy is pure imaginary ,and heaped in superstitious nonsense of two thousand years ago.

  Stop living in the past and embrace the present.
