Imagine there's no dress code
It's easy if you try
Ladies can wear trousers
Men don't need a tie.................
That topic was discussed in this thread, there are references to specific comments in Watchtower literature.

JW's learn early on not to question authority ie Governing Body. If the PO says to wear a dress you wear a dress or be marked by the congregation as having a "rebelious spirit" then you can forget about any fellowship and be treated as an outcast...

One of the hardest things I had to do was answer questions about why a women couldn't wear dress slacks. Frankly, they are more "modest" then skirts anyway, and a lot of sisters like to where shorter skirts. As I look back, I don't know why this was a problem..... At Bethel, there are at least 2 or 3 morning worships a year directed at the sisters reminding them not to wear immodest skirts... Why not pants for cryin out loud...
Oh, there is nothing scriptural about a sister wearing slacks. If you go by the bible, however a women is attired is only to be "modest".

You can do that without stepping foot into a Kingdom Hall...

Summer, you will find that the majority of the posters here left the org for that very reason. The WTS puts itself in the place of God and Christ. Take a look at this very humorous, yet true, QFR parody done by our beloved deaconbluez. The graph at the bottom explains EXACTLY how the WTS forces JWs to view them.

LOL @ Stinky pioneer sister. In the hall I grew up in, this sister smelled like a freaking skunk, really bad. I was told she got sprayed by a skunk out in service, so her stinking was okay because it was done in Jehovah's service. I spent the next few years deathly afraid of skunks, worried that they would inflict a permanent stench upon myself.

sat here and looked at the link sent by Fe203Girl. among other posts, a very interesting exposé from blondie mostly using deuteronomy. feeling kinda disillusioned, i then looked at the graph sent by sweetface. goodness...hilarious!!! it is said "the truth shall set you free." in this case, "a good laugh shall perk up the disillusioned." :-)
