always mentioning how men should not have long hair or beards.
I dunno where they got this rule from, especially when you consider all the apostles & Jesus himself had a beard.

I don't believe that there were that many Dubs that acted like rubes and hicks at the various hotels & motels.
I don't know XJW, I've seen brothers fill up their thermos bottles and water coolers (the portable one they use on job-sites) with milk, coffee and juice at the free breakfast buffets in the hotels.
I've also seen them grab the ENTIRE fruit basket and pass them out at lunch breakk.

I've been embarrassed by this behavior too.

Wifely subjection (when your husband is an insecure, ignorant moron)
Beat your children (I am guilty, and full of regret and sorrow)
"Worldly" relatives (the only sensible, kind ones I had) will die at Armageddon
Clothing "standards" and all the other nonsense that has nothing to do with the Bible
What set me free was the attitude that loyalty to the organization -- not character, behavior, and kindness -- is the mark of "goodness" or "being a Christian"
and many more....

It's amazing, I can't remember a single talk given by anyone. It's been thirty years since I went to a Sunday meeting. It seems like another life I lived.

After about the fourth talk about submitting to the authority of the elders I loudly got up and stormed out of the hall slamming the door open in the process. The following sunday this particular elder wanted to discuss my attitude in the second school. I told him. NO we can discuss this right here where everyone can hear us and know what the problem is. It quickly ended.

I once sat through a talk on music. The speaker was ranting on about the evils of the song "Mack the knife" . Sheesh, that song was from 1962. So what it was about a hired killer, it's just a song, it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. My kids were teenagers at the time, and could frreakin care less about "Mack the knife' as they never even heard of it. They listened to Joy Division and The Cure. We all had a good laugh about it afterwords. They promised never to listen to "Mack the Knife" (a great song BTW).
