Lots of religious groups are cults
Christ embassy everyone trying to fry their hair like chris
Deeper life banned tv for members

Adults willingly submitting their brains to other adults like them to tell them what to wear, eat, dress is a mystery to me
This fornicator will also join to condem Jehovah's witnesses. This is what you learn in your own church.

Oga, his talking about Western side of the world which could be true. Most of these numbers you people get from increased members are coming from Africa and Asia.

Oga
I am equally asking him to make a research in the western side and see if there is any decline. I k ow what I am saying.
Then again if there is increase be it in Asia or Africa it's still same body. It doesn't matter where to God

Why would a religion frown at beards - something natural?

But the pictures they have depicting Jesus is showing him with beards. Black people get problem and religion is compounding it!

Sillymoderators:

Who told you they were demonized and dis fellowshiped? You people will come here spreading fake news about Jehovah's witnesses because of hate.
When you're seen as rebellious, odd and worldly just because you grow beards and attend meetings... What's worse than demonising?
There are cases where a brother can be disfellowshiped because of beard wearing, if the brother doesn't act on the elders strong counsel to shave off and reacts negatively, violently or repulsively against the elders without remorse. Any rebellion against the GB or congregational matter is a potential disfellowshiping case.. How the accused reacts to counseling matters.

Notatribalist:

What exactly do you intend to achieve with this post? I was born in that organization,but for some reasons I left. But truth is,they practice the best form of Christianity. Jehovah witness is the only organization/church I've seen that preaches from the Bible. They don't take offering like other churches. Their teachers are centered on how to worship God. No prosperity preaching. As much as I would like to admit that they are not perfect,but they are far ahead of others. Take it on leave it

If they practice the best form of Christianity, does that mean you left the best for something not good enough? As in, you left something that is original for something that is fake?...

Except you left JW and stopped being a Christian altogether, if not, I wonder the kind of mentality you have to have left THE BEST

He is really sincere and honest hearted others will start telling you bad things about JWs but ask them to present a better performing group they later joined after leaving ọmọ they will start fighting you as if you've cursed them.

The fact remains that no human has ever passed through the potters of JW organization that can speak of any better group they found after leaving because there's none! smiley

True sha... Well, I personally wouldn't have a basis for comparison because I haven't met a lot of them, at a point I used to think they lived in a secluded estate, lol, cos unlike other churches, you don't really find a lot of them

I used to have a roommate that sends me links to their services which I join online... particularly loved the question and answer segment, as we were allowed to ask questions on issues and get answers, although he stopped after a while

It's due to Western culture!
Most of our brothers look up to the appearance of brothers living in our bethel homes and members of the Governing Body that they don't wear beards, this is because for some decades wearing beards has been view as indecent in the Western culture while the East takes it as a crime for men to shave their beards.
Brothers in the Eastern world like Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and other Arab countries finds it difficult to walk freely in their communities so letters keep rolling in on this matter that's why the Governing Body have to address it.
Now Kalid in Iran can walk freely in his area without being ostracized as an infidel while i and other JWs throughout the world still view him as a responsible brother in our spiritual family.

May you have PEACE! smiley

Jehovah's Witnesses are actively preaching in almost every country
The only group that has never participated in wars or conflicts
The only group so loyal to the christ and they are neutral
Their magazines which is free is the most distributed and translated
Their website, jw.org is the most visited religious website and has the most translations, Google does not come close


Yet, someone is stumbling cos of what? Wearing beard

Stop broadcasting falsehood.
I know a number of witnesses, even elders who give talks at assemblies who grow beards, even goatees. Stop the hate broadcast

It wasn't allowed.. I was a member. Maybe they started relaxing the rules at a point..

And you're really proud to say this in public??
Jews in the bible enjoyed peace after fighting countless wars, even committed infanticide and genocide. The goodnews witnesses are preaching in many countries is possible because there's peace. The businesses, activities, food, education etc enjoyed by every witness globally in their respective countries is possible because of relative peace.. Peace was fought for by heroes and men like everyone else... If witnesses do not participate in warfare in general they don't deserve the right to enjoy system achieved through wars and spiling of blood

Keep warring and spilling blood
Is that what brings satisfaction and real peace?
True Christians do not fight aa Jesus taught
We are practicing Christianity as Jesus taught
Not Judaism
Those that go to war today kill brothers of their own religion ij the other land
It never happened in the ancient Israel

The destruction of jericho women and innocent children killed , the genocides of King David, the bloodbath of 189,000 assyrian soldiers.. The accounts of blood sheds by biblical ancient Jews are countless.. If wars and killing your brothers was bad why wasn't God smart enough to use another way in ancient times.
Wars are not good but when fought well they bring lasting peace. Jesus didn't even instruct his followers not to go to war. Jws made that up, okay? . Wars are last options which sometimes yield peaceful results.

It's actually cowardice and insult to others trying to defend and fight with there lives.
If Jehovah's Witnesses happen to be the rulers of a nation having their sovereignty challenged, what would they have done differently?

So according to the video, why was it necessary for branches to write to GB as beard wearing was becoming an obstacle in various local congregation that nessitated the need for GB to readdress a policy on shaving beards if there wasn't any policy at all against growing beards? Why was this jw broadcast yesterday necessary
Quite unfortunate that people with half information will struggle to twist the truth to suit their hate for the JW's. Who told you people that JW's don't wear beards? JW's are sensitive to the environment/territory they find themselves, In some parts of the world JW's wear beards depending on what type of grooming that is considered to be modest in such territory. I don't think JW's want to be a stumbling block to any one who may wish to listen to the Bible's message. I see hate in several write-ups here.

Oga are you a JW. if you are, how many congregation will you walk into and see their men putting on beards. They are all bald shaved.
A young man in one of the congregation in Portharcoult was told that if he doesn't not shave his beards and afro hair that he won't be allow to take any congratulational responsiblity.

I know you may try to defend your JW believes. but pointing out one person as saying it's allowed is wrong. Just be truthful No one is above mistakes.
JW governing body and it's members can never admit they make mistakes, Even when they make corrections they will say it's an improved understanding of scriptures.

🙄

The light's getting brighter and they (the governing body) can now see clearer than before.. 🙄

And how's this daddy to know they have a bam on beards when I myself love and keeps a clean shaven face and admire them for it?


I don't like hairs. Facial or pubic.
