New Light on Beards

[xero]

A 2016 study published in the journal "Personality and Individual Differences" found that people with multiple tattoos were more likely to have used drugs and alcohol in the past year.

Maladaptive behaviors have their tells.

Brothers can now get beards tattoo'd on their faces?

Woohoo! Br. Jackson now has a goatee! Taken at the SKE graduation this past weekend.

I dunno. He looks like a Bond villain about to order a nuclear strike.

A Bethelite documented how Bro. Jackson came to the decision to wear a beard. It was actually his GB Helper’s idea!

Indeed, now he looks like someone who is completely responsible and a serious politician, sorry businessman. lol

Indeed, this topic is widely discussed on websites that are critical of the Watchtower organization. Surprisingly, even individuals like Magnum, who strongly oppose Jehovah's Witnesses, consider this particular claim to be fabricated. Nevertheless, it is worth contemplating if this website possesses any unique credibility compared to the others.

I don’t really believe it simply on the basis of character. It is not something I can picture him doing.

You’re Right!

I enlarged the picture.

It’s clearly a FAKE!

Hopefully, the publishing of Governing Body Update 2023-8 on December 15, 2023 about beards will help heal some great injustices that have taken place over the last 80 plus years in the Congregations, and usher in an era of much needed and long overdue reforms. 

I am glad to have lived long enough to see it happen, where Liberty is proclaimed throughout the Earth.

In his second inaugural address, delivered on March 4, 1865, during the final stages of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln emphasized unity and reconciliation. He famously stated, "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds." The address reflected Lincoln's commitment to healing the nation and rebuilding after a divisive conflict.

May we do the same.

When I saw the picture of Bro. Jackson with the goatee, I did not think it was fake.  I thought it looked good, and set a good example that Update No. 8 greatly needed to overcome 80 plus years of, as was admitted, unscriptural policy.

I'm afraid you are wrong. This IS real. Well, not this picture. The picture I posted is real.
