our witness friend who during covid grew his beard has been hassled by elders who asked him "why" he chose to have facial growth.
he for real, had to give an answer why.
this is pharasees total rubbish.
When I was an active JW I tried the beard thing and at the time I grew a goatee that was well groomed ,I soon got the attention of the P,O, as they were called at that time.
And I was pressured to give it up .Many years later I tried it again and got a slap on my wrist so to speak and had to give it away again.
I`ve been out since 1993 and haven`t been without a well groomed beard since then .

??? I`m confused 22 years ago ?
there are certain wt terms that sound biblical but really just puff up the pride.
hundreds of times the wt has used the term honest-hearted in their literature.
it sounds biblical, if for no other reason because we hear it so often in jw circles.
If anyone is not honest hearted it is the Jehovah`s Witnesses themselves !
If they were honest hearted they wouldn`t be Jehovah`s Witnesses
king charles and joe biden.
need i say more?😂😂😂 .
Remember the green book ? "Your will be Done on Earth " had a lot to say about this and how the 60`s and 70`s would fulfil Daniels prophecy if my memory serves me correctly.
jehovah's witnesses basically define the term "apostate" as someone who was once a member of the "organization" (a jehovah's witness) but no longer follows the teachings, rules, regulations and practices.
the society gives their official definition in the following manner: "apostasy is abandoning or deserting the worship and service of god, actually a rebellion against jehovah god.
some apostates profess to know and serve god but reject teachings or requirements set out in his word.
In trying to protect their members from being influenced by apostates the GB twist the meaning of the word to include a hatred of former friends and associates the former members had.
And this is just not true .The "apostates" don`t cut off association with in many cases life long friends ,it`s the JW`s who do so.
if instead of thailand, he had gone to a place where its legal and (supposedly) has some sort of oversight to prevent exploitation?
like nevada in the u.s or amsterdam in europe?
would the being unfaithful part still be a deal breaker as far as supporting his channel?
It boggles my mind that Lloyd Evans is still a subject for discussion on this forum ?
it's been years since i posted here.
my jw mother died july 5th.
it was quite honestly not that emotional for me.
Hi ,Noni ,my condolences to you .I don`t recall I had that much emotion when my mother died but I feel I did when my father died .
They were never involved in the cult of JW`s, I was .
They were good loving parents and my mother doted on me ,I feel like I was the bastard son that didn`t respect that .and have felt guilt ever since.
July 5 is my birthdate.
the bible predicts that at some point, the god of the bible will take action.
this is very convincing when reading bible prophecy and history to back up prophecy as represented in the bible.
—exactly when god acts is another subject..
I remember when King George the V1 died I was 13 YO it was night time in Australia and I asked my dad "the king has died what`s gonna happen now ? He replied ",nothing will change don`t worry someone else will replace him life will go on the same as always."
I wouldn`t be a bit surprised if the Commonweath starts to disintegrate now that Charles has become king .
Queen Elizabeth11 , R.I.P. She was one of a kind.
just wanted to say hey.
i’m in australia.
i’ve just woken up… i’m disfellowshipped and finding it hard without family although i do have one sister who isn’t interested in the truth, so that’s good… at least i can talk to her.
Welcome Chickenlips ( where or why did you come up with that name ? LOL ) I first saw your post a few days ago and gave it a miss ,I wonder why ? lol.
Yes I`m an Aussie among one of many that post here from time to time ,me I think I`m addicted to the site..
A lot of great well intentioned knowledgeable people about the JW religion who can offer wise counsel that probably excludes me.
However you do mention the Brisbane area and I spent 37 years in Brisbane ,a lot of the time as an active JW.
So maybe we do have something in common.
I will send you a pm and see where we go from there.
