I couldn't figure out how to copy the picture, so here's a link to one from amazon.com:

Okay, I will give an example of french knickers as per what the sister was wearing.

I will try and attach the picture but if not go to this link http://www.satinandspice.co.uk//popup_image.php/pID/1910?osCsid=d3ecbdb6fb9d3c8eb8f19162806a26da

basically she was wearing a pair of satin shorts (and not even short shorts like the example in the previous post).

I also remember an elder's daughter getting in trouble for wearing a skirt that was "too long" on the platform during a demo at a circuit assembly. The current fashion for skirts at the time was for longer skirts but this poor girl had always worn skirts of that length. The CO took her aside and told her off for trying to appear fashionable.

So many to choose from.....

My dad got lost his "eldership" for performing the wedding of his grandson (23, baptized) to the PO's daughter (19, NOT baptized) because she was a "nonbeliever", even though she was born and raised in the religion, the PO's only girl, and had already gone over the questions for baptism!

I remember a balding Hispanic bro being told he would not be able to give his #5 talk because his hair was trimmed on the sides too short, and, from a distance it looked like he had shaved his head!

I had my "privledges" removed for starting to grow a beard, even though EVERY elder in the cong I asked before doing it, said that it would be ok! (I was sooo dumb).

I knew a GREAT kid in Kentucky who was DF'd for working on his familiy's tobacco farm.

We had a bro in our cong back in the early 70's who was a really good mechanic and owned his own garage. He put custom chrome wheels on his car and was removed from being a servant because of his, "showy display of ones means of life".

There's so many stupid things that i've seen over the last 45 years that I can't do this anymore, it's getting depressing....

The most pathetic one I can remember is when a brother got Publically Reproved for attempting suicide. Years later he told me that one on his judicial committee was really pushing to have him disfellowshipped. Nothing like kicking someone in the head when they're at rock bottom already eh?

Star Wars promotes the occult (the Force and whatnot).

What blasphemy.... that elder should've been taken out and shot in the back of the head for that comment.

I got into trouble with the CO because I was a regular auxiliary pioneer but I refused permission for the elders to announce it every month from the platform. They would always announce this one or that one was going to pioneer and then all would clap. I thought all the attention/praise was wrong. But that upset the CO who ORDERED the elders to announce it. So I stopped turning in the form but did the hours. That got me into more trouble, coz it made the publisher averages wrong! How funny those days were...

Strangest one I know happened to me. A friend and I went to the World's Fair when it was held in Spokane, Washington back in the 70s. Inside the gate there was a clown, this clown started in on me, and being young and having a sense of humor, I started kidding the clown back. Whole thing lasted about a minute or so while she caught up with me and on we went.

Imagine my surprise when we got back home and I was called into a JC, yes you heard me right. Because I was a regular pioneer we were held to "higher standards" and this sister was stumbled by my actions of flirting with this clown. Didn't get DF'd, just counciled.

If we all hadn't experienced this stuff we would never believe it. Crazy.

Star Wars promotes the occult

Maybe they should have councelled Jesus for his "Rich Man and Lazarus" parable because that was promoting a literal hell

oh yeah and we were told categorically that the proceeds of Fleetwood Mac's famous album Rumours went to the British Witchcraft society or something like that, so we should throw any copies away (the brother giving the talk knew I had it and looked pointedly at me) as well as any other evil music.

and I did throw it out.... argh! that vinyl would be worth a fortune now, lol

well, maybe they were to do with witchcraft but if we start picking and choosing our music based on the private lives of the performers we'll end up listening to nothing, I mean, that puts Tschaikovsky out for a start!

ps always remembering (before someone picks me up on it) that Tschaikovsky was famous as a composer :-)
