I seriously doubt they ever had pictures of Jesus without a beard, it was Gods law Israelite males must have a beard. If they did however have corrected what would be error, where as the religions in darkness refuse to make correction.

They have changed the view on beards, its allowed now. I seriously doubt they ever had pictures of Jesus without a beard, it was Gods law Israelite males must have a beard. If they did however have corrected what would be error, where as the religions in darkness refuse to make correction.
Beards are allowed now. lol They never should have been forbidden!!!! People have been Df'd for having one!!! You never saw a pic of a beardless Jesus? How long have you been a Jw? I have never seen a WT pic of Jesus with a beard!

It's good to know they've changed that. what about those who were Df'd and shunned over it?

@Berean
being a Bible Student maybe you can answer this for me?

Click here- International Bible Students Association | UIA Yearbook Profile
Scroll down to lower right side.

Why are both of those websites there?
One takes you here- International Bible Students
the other is jw. org

Jws also have their own page on there.

So, WT own IBSA and IBSA is a UIA member who partners with the UN.

This UIA has quite the history (league of nations) see link below

UIA's History | Union of International Associations

It gets weirder, classic WT weird- the people who run that IBSA site proclaim that they are against the watchtower and they even have links to sites called, Beyond the Watchtower etc.. yet they are also Int Bible Students. ?

They have corrected that error. Correction is like repentance. Maybe you should ask why the false religions have Jesus with long hair in their pictures= never corrected.
what proof do you have that Jesus didn't have long hair? Besides your Governing Body stating so?

Apparently, this is a database and whoever put it together got their wires crossed. They probably did a search for IBSA, came up with the website and linkied it to the page. I see this all the time, with people claiming that Bible Students are JW's.

Now as you may know, the IBSA was incorporated in 1914, that was the official name of the Society in the UK. I believe they had a Canadian IBSA that is now defunct. The IBSA was never incorporated in the USA. I'm not sure why, but a Bible Student group in Alabama decided to use the domain name. Which of course, causes confusion. And those who don't know the history of the split just assume that Bible Students are JW's. If you go to the ABOUT US link on the IBSA site, it tells you, they are not JW's.

Hope this helps.

I stated a fact, Catholicism displays Jesus bringing dishonor to his Fathers name in their pictures of him. I never said others don't do the same. Your concern is mainly Catholicism.
Lol....wouldn't the "fact" be, by your own admission, that others do the same? Your main concern is to discredit Catholicism, so you overlooked the facts. Where in Scripture does it give the proper hair length to not bring dishonor? Shoulder length? Hair halfway down back? No longer than the neck?


You crack me up......

@PS95

I contacted the Brethren who own the IBSA site and this is what they told me.
Thank you Brother, we did not know this and appreciate the heads-up. This explains why we receive some messages about legal matters for the JWs. Immediate action will be taken to request removal from that database.

I've been reading some of your posts. I don't understand where all that hatred of yours comes from.

Did any JW do any harm to you? Did any witness hurt you personally?

Hello Elie,
I see that you are a Jw since, I saw your post scaring Zeth 4500. That is indeed what Jws do. A demon in every corner ready to jump on believers?! NO. I imagine you think you were being so helpful to him, but i doubt it was. Read what he said again. He already knew occult things were not good. His wife is afraid when something breaks! he is not sure about an inheritance of whiskey because of the decanter. I addressed him carefully not to upset him or his fragile wife. All you did was feed fear. How is that right?
Jws had my family toss out a cross, a painting of the last supper, toy lionel trains, wrapping paper with happy b-day on it etc etc etc
You guys feed fear. It does not need to be that way.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. <-- that is what belivers have.

Jws have harmed and do harm many people every day due to what comes out of their mouths. I see you overlooked the men who have been DF'd for having a beard thanks to the FALSE teaching of JWs for many decades. But suddenly, new light!~POOF You can have a beard. How it is that these godly men of the tower did not know what most people have known all of their lives? And Jw Df's come complete with shunning by everyone he knows including his own family. Over facial hair that JESUS HAD? Are you sure those men in NY know Jesus?

And you wonder why I seem angry? Was Jesus angry with false teachers? Or Paul?
I have spent weeks now trying to get a Jw just to read a chapter in the bible. The FEAR that the watchtower instills in people is twisted. They are of the occult! I wonder if they have burned Johannes Greber bibles yet?
Jws aren't just members of a "church" <--- (bad word, i know..) but you are all preachers & teachers and are responsible for every false teaching that you teach to another. Do you see what I am saying?

The important thing is correction of errors. Did you mention that?
thing is Keiw, Ok they corrected it. GOOD! But all of the years of false teaching (it's rampant) how is it that you think these men who do the teaching are of God, when they are wrong so often?
I mean people were Df'd over beards. C'mon. That wasn't of God.

It was a dishonor for an Israelite male to have long hair 1Cor 11:14) with the exception of the Nazarites.( Samson)Numbers 6 explains it) --Jesus was a Nazarene not a Nazarite.

I am showing you the error of your religion proving it false. All trinity religions are false. Catholicism created God into a trinity at their councils, its undeniable recorded history.

Satan attacks Jesus real religion= relentless. Did you see what he caused to the Apostles and followers after Jesus died? Did you see Israel religion fall away over and over in the OT?
Even if disfellowshipped they could still remain standing. God weeded out many fakes.
