    : " . . . the chief objected to the wearing of any clothing by either brothers or sisters while in the village. The brothers explained that it was not a Christian custom to go naked."

    Not a Christian custom? Where does the New Testament say anything about that? Didn't the apostle Paul say something about being all things to all men?

    This idiotic stance is nothing more than ossified old American men wanting to impose their cultural preferences, learned in childhood, on the world.

    I visited the Branch Office in Tel Aviv in 1989 and was impressed by the TMS Overseer conducting the meeting without a tie, and a short-sleeved cardigan with open neck shirt....such freedom....wonder if thats still going there?

    G'day besty,

    That's interesting to read; from what I see in the media that happens in a land where that socially would be acceptable. Interesting..
