So why do you as a Jehovah's Witness have to wait until your religious leader gives a go ahead before you can grow your own freaking beards?

That is how CULTS behave.

Have you forgotten that the Governing Body said this?



Bro, you guys are a CULT.

So why don't you wear beautif tattoos and dreads waiting until the society or Nigerians approve of it or start accepting those?
Your mates in the US are comfortably doing those, dude

Yeah I went through what you said online and I affirm it to be true. However, putting a kingdom hall that is of no use for sale isn't a big deal as all churches do same. So if the kingdom halls are being put for sale and the money recovered from it is used to build another kingdom where the need is required, do you still think that to be pitiful?
It's good you made research like he told you to, Unlike most JWs that are told by G.B never to listen to outsiders and shorn critics
That shows your open minded and ready to be corrected when wrong.

All their quest when the religious organization of Jehovah's Witnesses started was to make separations between them and every others now, they looking for ways to align.

So after many decades of demonising, ostracising and sometimes disfellowshiping male members who opt to wear or keep their God given natural beards. The leaders of the Jehovah's Witnesses sect has approved responsible male brothers to wear and keep beards if they choose in a recent update aired on jw broadcast dated December 15,2023.

On this update nos 8 they've agreed that is non scriptural to instruct Christians on how to look outwardly uniformly. They now accept that spirituality is the basis of Christianity not outward appearances or trying to appear or sound different from other competing religious organisations .

There's high and mixed emotions amongst the members now. Many are disappointed while few who has been scorned by elders and congregation leaders for trying to leave there beards to grow may be the only ones excited.

But personally they( Governing Body) needs to apologise to there members for trying to make them look like a cult. Cus is only a cult that that enforce a dress pattern or grooming for members from varying cultures and backgrounds all around the world

The headline is confusing " Can now wear beard"
Please note that depending on where yiu live there are Jws in the foreign lands that have beards. Thier culture allows them to do so. In Africa we always believe those with beards are thugs and worldly. The JW organisation is now saying whether you have beards or not is your personal decision .
It is not a do or die affair. It all about promotion of unity among them.

As a full grown man, why do you have to wait until your religious leaders give you approval before you can grow your own beard?

In this age, those outside of that religious organization knows far beyond what you see. Na people like una we go tell say prominent members in your midst up to your headquarters are caught in atrocious acts yet you will tell us they are....

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.


What did Jesus teach as a new commandment?

Stop broadcasting nonsense here, I am a jw and we don't sell kingdom halls, assembly halls. Check out histories, we've never sold any worship places. There are possibilities that the building you think belong to us don't actually belong to us, and by chance we move from there to a better place. But believe you me, we don't sell kingdom us and never have we sold assembly halls and bethel branches.

Make I bring watchtower evidence that you are selling kingdom halls and properties dedicated to JEHOVAH every year grin grin grin grin

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.

It is that their understanding that expose them as liars because their latest understanding equally shows the previous understanding as lies grin grin

This may not be happening in Nigeria but it is happening in so many countries outside Nigeria.

Google Kingdom halls for sale. There are so many Kingdom halls for sale listed in Real Estate websites in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Peru, e. t.c. There is a section in jworg where they list congregations that they remove or merge with others. All of this is happening because Many JWs are leaving the Cult at a fast pace. There is a Facebook group dedicated to Kingdom halls sold and for sale. It is called Kingdom halls for sale around the world. Many of them are sold to different religions, churches and even turned to bars and other businesses. Just search on Facebook.

I go give am watchtower evidence since their GODS of men housed in USA holds the final say grin grin grin

They are practicing the worship of Human Image without knowing it.

The book of revelation talks about End Beasts who we should beware of.
They are pastor who no longer preach the true and revealed word of God but would rather preach doctrine above the word of God.

Choose the doctrine more instead of the revealed word of God.

God is interested in our heart, pure heart as the temple of God.
