4 door cars.
everyone must work as a floor installer or tree logger.
girls must sit in the back of the car to keep from fornicating with the males in the front of the car.

A guy and girl can't sit next to eachother at the hall unless they are married.

I remember at conventions "the young people" were always told not to "hang out" in the concourse areas looking specifically for single "brothers" or single "sisters" One Elder giving a talk reffered to sisters trolling for brothers at conventions as "concourse cuties"
Where the f**ck were we supposed to meet people then??

we had a spell where the rule was if your child cried or made noise the speaker would stop speaking until you got up and left the room.
how embarrassing! when it happened to me i'd just gather all my kids and all my stuff and leave or go sit in the car till my ex came out after the meeting.

Good for you Candi. Wish there were more that would make powerful statements like that at the Kingdumb hall.

Hi Ariel!
Yep. Same thing in our district. Wonder what the elder would call the trolling brothers?

With all the rules made up by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses and their minions the local BOE didn't want add any unnecessary burdens to the brothers.

I just thought of another one:
Parents had to escort their kids to the bathroom and getting a drink of water. They weren't allowed to go on their own so there was no trouble.
Elders always expected the worse I guess.
